Beautiful Weather

The weather was so nice on Sunday, spring like, 75 degrees! But it was not to last. Sorry that Henry is so far away, I tried to catch him on the sly, but you know how that goes.

Crazy Weather

We have had some really crazy weather the last few days. On sat and sun. it was beautiful! The highs were in the 70's, close to 75 on sunday. We all enjoyed the weekend. We had our first cook-out on sunday. Charcoal steaks for the adults and hot dogs for the kids. They were great, although a little tough.

Monday started out nice, then it got cold. Tuesday night it started to snow. We have about 1-2" of snow on the ground. And the high is 26, with a wind chill factor of 16, tomorrow the high will be in the 50's again, with more snow possible on friday. I am ready for spring!! I am tired of snow, rain, ice, sleet and cold. I am ready for warm weather, but of course with that comes the digging out of the summer clothes to see what can still be fit into by Henry and Aliyah. Some shorts may get passed down to Aliyah for around the house.

The first pic is of our backyard covered in snow this was taken today, March 4. The second pic was taken last night March 3. We got rain on monday and snow tuesday night and morning.

I almost had a wreck today trying to drive to work. I tried to go uphill (first mistake), the back of the car fish taled and I was doing a lot of praying! I got out of the car, to assess what I needed to do, to try to correct myself (Henry and Aliyah were in their car seats) a man and his wife stopped and offered to take me where I needed to go., Turns out they were christians, and were such a blessing. I was close to tears. That is such a helpless feeling when that happens, esp when you have such precious cargo in the car. I got to my sisters where we called a tow truck, and thankfully nobody hit my car while it was in the road!

Soccer

The directv guy called and said he coudlnt' make it, so now we are waiting for him for thurs. Nick will have to be here, Henry starts soccer practice today, it's really windy, but we have had to postpone it for rain, tornado, snowand ice, so we are going to go through with it. Hopefuly he will enjoy it and get something positive out of it.

His games will be in West Plains Missouri on saturdays this summer. A long way to go( 2hours), but the city is quite bigger than our little town and it will be nice to visit a bigger city and go SHOPPING!!! My husband is dreading this except for the fact that they have a home depot and a lowes.
Will get a pic of Henry playing and post it

Waiting on people

I am sitting here waiting on the DirecTV guy to come and hook us up. We got tired of no tv. Why is it than when they say between 12 and 4 it is always at 4? I wish they would just give us an specific time, it would make my life easier.
I have grocery shopping to do, sunday school tonight, and I get everyone ready for a new school and work week. But, I will have my home and garden, TLC, Discovery and the kids will have some cartoon channesla dn and nick will have his Do it Yourself channel.

It is awfully quiet around here right now, with nick napping on the couch, I can catch up on my blog, email, and just enjoy the quiet and of course wait on the satelliteguy to call for directions to our house!

here is aliyah, she has discovered lip gloss. she just had her hair braided, it is usually not this neat. when she doesn't have lip gloss, she has tried to use green magic marker. had to explain to her the difference. as i am writing this today, they have closed school due to freezing rain last night. the roads are clear rifht now, but that could change later.

mommy testing out her new camera on henry, 5 years old. isnt; he handsome!

one really scarry night

We had a really scary night last night. The town of Highland, which is about 2-3 miles from our home, was hit by a tornado last night. It destroyed the town. It went right down the middle of hwy 62?412. The fire dept, restaraunts, churches and about 3 houses have just been destroyed. It was a scary night! Thank the Lord, no one was seriously hurt or killed in our community. I don't have any pictures I can upload yet, but hopefully I will soon you can see some pictures at Kait8.com
