Weird, Wild Weather!

The Monsoon's are here! Woohoo!
Tonight the skies started to darken and the wind started to blow! The skies started to light up with lightening! When Tony and I got out of church the rain had begun! It was such a wild, fun storm tonight! Here are some pictures of the storm I took! We were watching TV after it had been raining for about a hour and you could hear the rain just pouring. It got so loud Rachelle and Hannah ran outside to look at it! Rachelle came back inside soaking wet and told me Hannah was still outside~ Here she is! Soaked to the bone! Within a minute or less she was absolutely soaked! Can you see how hard it was raining?
The news tonight said the wind was clocked blowing 80 miles a hour~the same as a category 1 hurricane. The rain had already fallen almost 2 inches in under a hour and flights at the airport were grounded until the weather mellowed out!
FINALLY!!!! Weather in Arizona I actually LOVE! Yep, I'm a happy girl Ü


I had to take about 30 pictures just to get one of the lightining! Guess I need a camera that is faster!

Sweet Relief!

I have to confess, I was a bit panicked a couple of days ago when the weather was so unbearably hot. I was feeling sorry for myself thinking In Colorado, the snow has just melted, and spring is probably in full swing right now. Yep, I was so unfortunate to have to be living in Arizona. Anywhere but Arizona.I just wasn't ready for the hot weather yet.
Well, today I woke up and the sky was overcast, and the temperature was only 69 degrees. Yes only 69!! wahoooo.
It got only better when the rain started! I love the rain. So..I went outside with the kids and we sat on the porch and watched the rain fall. The girls were so excited it was raining. We had to play in it for awhile.
Definitely a boost for my mood. I guess Arizona isn't so bad after all :)

What do we do when temperatures reach 108 degrees in May?

We swim of course!

It was so warm today, and so we all went swimming to cool off. The pool felt wonderful. Even Ethan loved it.

I was wondering how hot is was, so I logged on to the internet and checked. Yes my friends~108 degrees~ and it's only May. I keep chanting, it's not so bad in Arizona, it's not so bad in Arizona...

Summer is here!
