Crazy Texas Storms....

Gotta love the spring time in Texas- Tornados & Spring Storms! These storms come out of almost nowhere and can do some serious damage. 2 weeks ago it was the hail that did alot of damage, this week it was 100 mile an hour winds that did the damage. we only lost a big limb off of our Burford Pear Tree, but that was it. Gavin was out meeting with a client & I was home with Mason. He was napping & the thunder woke him up, and shortly after the Tornado Sirens started going off (for non texas residents that means 'be prepared & might wanna take cover') so i cracked open some windows and the garage (tornados can cause houses to implode or even explode with the pressure- so opening windows can help) and Mason, Shelby & I went and hung out in the bathroom for a while. The power was flickering on and off, but it didnt seem nearly as bad as a few weeks ago, we didnt have any cloud rotation in the area (means a tornado) and no hail, it was just rain coming in sideways! Shelby is terrified of thunder so she was shaking like a leaf and wouldn't DARE leave my side! Mason found it all funny and just jabbered away at me! It passed over in about 10 minutes and then we went on in our merry way! LOL

Here's us hanging out in the bathroom :)
