This is the Wall Cloud right behind our house on Wednesday, June 11th. We were talking to our neighbor who was also on his back deck. This is the same line of stoms that went through the Little Sioux Scout Ranch 45 minutes north of here in Iowa. You can't see completely how the clouds were just turning above us. It looked like someone had a spoon and was just stirring the clouds. It was a little creepy to see this in the back of your home. That night 7 tornadoes were confirmed in the area.

Nick has no fear of anything in the petting zoo.

Our most recent family picture
Here is the most recent picture of us all together. Sad that it is from December, but you get the idea...
Not so consistent I guess
I am not as good at getting my blog done as I had originally hoped. I am going to try to do better though. I am not near as creative as my sis-in-law Joni. Her blog is awesome. I mean totally don't look at mine after looking at her blog, I am put to shame. She is a pro!
We are getting ready for summer vacation, the kids last day of school is tommorow. So, I am up late making brownies for teachers and getting all the last minute things done for their last day. Shelley will actually go to some summer school this year, her grades are fine, we just feel that fourth grade is going to be a challenge and she could use a little extra help before tackling next year. She has a great attitude about it though, it will be good for her.
Last week the kids had track and field day and they both did good. Matthew sang in a small group at the opening ceremonies and it sounded so cool. My piano recital is this Saturday and we are having it at a concert room at Schmitt Music. It should be pretty cool. The kids get to perform on a 100,000 dollar Steinway Grand piano. Pretty cool!!!
We are missing our family and friends that we are not close to. It is hard to be away from the ones you love. I will try to upload some recent pictures so we will see how it goes!
I will write again sooner this next time...
