Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

4 Storm of the summer...year...my kids' life,..my life?

I can not begin to describe the sound of tonight's storm.

- Fury - Fierce - Deafening -

For nearly 45 min the thunder growled non-stop, the hail pounded our windows, and wind bore down on our home. It was the spookiest feeling as flashes of lightning rolled without end. We lost power for a few moments, but surprisingly that's all. Nate bailed out our window-wells just seconds before the water poured into the basement and then ran of to assist flooded neighbors. Its hard to tell in the video, but the street was a roaring river and the circle cul-de-sac a lake.


(by the time I got the camera the hail was done.)

Allie was amazed but not scared.
Poor Kylie, who's had a fever the past 48 hours, fell asleep in her crib during the worst.

UPDATE: I emailed the video clip to KSL (chan 5) and it made it into the weather forecast tonight!!!
{sorry about the commercial first}
There went my 5 seconds of fame ;)

UPDATE to the UPDATE: it looks like the video linked below has updated to a more current weather forecast, so you don't see my clip. Oh well, you'll just have to trust me on it.

If you think it was bad on our street you should have gone down to Main! I had to drive home from Logan and I barely made it! Pure craziness!

CRAZY! We were glued to the window all night long! Who flooded? I wish we could have helped. I will call tomorrow about hair.
