TORNADO!

We weren't able to get a picture of an actual tornado but supposedly we had about 9 of them hit in Northern Colorado, Cheyenne and Laramie! Cheyenne didn't sustain much damage but Laramie and Windsor got nailed. It was actually a little nerve racking having the tornado sirens going off through town. At one point I had Brycen and Matthew at piano lessons and myself and the elementary kids locked down in the elementary school bathroom. (Safest place in the school)
The sky was so dark and we had huge hail storms. Brycen had a band concert tonight. We went into the auditorium with clear skies and within an hour we were back to sirens, hail and black skies. We have been in Cheyenne for almost 5 years and have never had this happen before.
Our little barn out back took a beating. A section of the roof was almost ripped off but Colin saved it before it was gone.

Our Front Yard!!

Today was a very wet and dreary day, we even had tornados but that is a different story.
I walked past my front room window and saw two antelope standing right in our front yard.
I quietly got my camera and when out on the front porch to take pictures, I was being so sneaky.
I turned to go back in the house and saw eight more antelope on the other side of my porch watching me.
What a shock!

Injury of the week!

Little did I know when I posted the first "injury of the week" that it would actually get used as often as it has. I also didn't realize how much my kids would love it! When Megan broke her arm last week the first thing Kourtney said was, "Megan you get to be the injury of the week this week!." She was so proud.
Megan fell of the monkey bars at school and broke her wrist at the growth plate! Ouch! We have had it in a splint since Wednesday and they were able to put a hard cast on today because the swelling is down!
We are heading to Mt. Rushmore on Friday! We are so excited! Hot Springs, South Dakota is only about 220 miles from here and it is amazing! So much to do! Some of my kiddos haven't seen Mt. Rushmore so this is a treat!
