Jonathan's first day of daycare and my first day of work!
This is just a random picture, but i thought it was freakin hilarious. He past out after lunch. :)Me and Jon decided to take advantage of this nice weather thats been going on and go to the zoo. Jonathan loves going to see all the animals and he never gets tired of telling us what all the animals "say". I've never taken him to the petting zoo part cause i was scared the goats would trample him down, but i got the courage to take him this time. It was a fun experience for all of us!
Apparently this goat needed to cool off in his metal feeding tray.
It was feeding time! I let Jonathan feed the goats as long as Jon was elping him. I didn't want the damn goat to mistake his finger for a carrot!
After a while he got bored with feeding and petting the goats, so he decided to chase the dove the was flying and walking around the petting zoo. It was so funny because the bird was just running around in circle and trying to dodge Jonathan, and he was right behind that bird with his arms out saying..."bird...bird..bird."
~THE STORM~
Friday afternoon/early evening was something i would not want to ever experience again. Of all the years of living in "Tornado Alley" this was the worst i have ever been in. Around 4:30 the wheather report came on the tv as breaking news and Bill Randby...my favorite wheather man :)....said there was a storm a brewin'. He said there were no signs of tornados, but there was damaging winds and severe hail and that people in the stroms path need to be in a sturdy shelter. Well, being retarded, me and Jon went out side to check it out. It was getting kinda dark, so Jon started tying our little tree down so it wouldn't break. Out of nowhere the wind just started blowing like crazy so i went into the garage. It started getting stronger so i yelled for jon to come in the garage. It got even worse and Jon started to see the debris on the ground go in circles so he instructed for me to get Jonathan and go in the closet. I wanted to see what was going on so me and Jon stood at the front door to watch the storm pass, but then everything just went down hill from there. The hail started hitting our house with winds of 65-70mph. The big HUGE trees were just bowing to the ground. We hurried and ran in the closet and sat there with my son clutching on to me and his head buried between my shoulder and neck for 5-7mins just hearing the winds getting stronger and the hail hitting out house even harder. There was NO WAY it could not have been a tornado. It was the scariest thing i've ever been through.
This is what our ground looked like when we went outside.
This is the size of the hail (next to a quarter) that was hitting our house at 65-70mph. Later we found that the siding of our house has many holes that need to be fixed. We were very lucky that none of our windows broke.
Our streets were flooded and traffic was backed up because people were scared to drive through this!
This was down the street from us. Thank God no one was in there, but there was one couple that did die after a tree had fallen on their car.
Scary isn't it?
