Our Week in Review

• Alivia, Isaac and I were invited to join a family from our ward to go strawberry picking.  It was the first time I've ever drove any kind of distance and used the tollways down here.  The whole thing scared the heck out of me, none-the-less, we were all thrilled to be out of the house and having an adventure.  

 

It was a great day to be out and the kids had a great time picking and then eating the strawberries.  We were so glad the Oehring's invited us to join them!

• On our way home from strawberry picking the sky turned a nasty black and severe thunderstorm warning were issued.  We stopped by the grocery store to grab a few things when the rain started pounding.  Just the minute run from the car to the store left us soaked to the bone, we were dripping water from head to toe.  The kids were so wet and cold they started shaking uncontrollably, teaches me to think I can just run out in the rain down here and only expect to get slightly wet.  
• When we got home from our trip Alivia informed me that our trampoline was missing from our backyard, I thought she was kidding until I went back and looked and sure enough our tramp was gone!  At first I was sick thinking someone walked into our yard and stole it, when the thought crossed my mine to look in the neighbors yards, since we just got lashed and beat upon by the wind and rain.  And sure enough there in our next door neighbors backyard sat our trampoline.  I can't tell you how relieved I was that the tramp didn't hit a house or do any damage.  We got really lucky is all I can say!  Now I'm trying to figure out what to do for fear of having our tramp blow away again, I don't think we'll get so lucky the next time it happens.  
• My vegetables are starting to perk up and grow now that I put a layer of mulch down.
• I'm starting to have panick attacks that school is almost over with and that a long HOT summer with three kids at home all day, is almost here...YIKES!!!
