Intense Video of Tornado
The next video gives you more of a visual of where they were. Crazy!
What a neat guy to shoot this footage and help those around him. My heart goes out to them and all they have had to endure and will endure in the upcoming months and years.

An update...
We had some Easter.
We did a little performing at rest homes. Ellyse danced too, I just got a video of her is all, not a still pic.
During the 1/2 hour of sun we received that ONE day, we played on the trampoline.
Oh hey, we spotted Elvis at The Pie while visiting with long time friends. That was interesting. Turns out Elvis orders pizza's under the name Elvis and drives a mini van just like we do. See, he's just a regular guy like all of us.
Allie ate a bit too much of her birthday cake.
And we played around with some iphone apps.
Time hasn't been too easy on Jason or Lance or Brent for that matter.
oh okay, me neither....
Got some cute haircuts for the girls. Yay! Was just going to have her cut Allie's hair only but when Ellyse saw how cute Allie's was, she wanted it done as well. I guess no more long hair for my girls for a while. It's sooooooooooooo 100% easier to do now! AANNNd it stays styled a lot longer too! Bonus! I'm a happier momma with hairdo's that look and stay cute longer.
That's all for now. I'll get A's birthday up soon.

Weber High Flashback time.
- Warning - these pictures are quite boring to those who don't have a fondness for this school - Um, anyone else owe their math skills to this wonderful woman? You guys, she spent hours upon hours with me and helped me shape up my math skills that had been ruined by past sub par teachers.
Hours. And. Hours.
I owe so much to this lady! She will always have a special place in the mathematics part of my heart. :)
Here we have the door to the choir room. So many fun memories of choir and friends were made in this room!
Here is the room where I had to take the S.A.T. test or at least the practice test.
In this room, I took History as a sophomore to fulfill the stupid history requirement early. I hated history so I was getting this subject out of the way. Most people took it as Juniors so I was the only sophomore in the class. I got deemed "Egon" - from Ghostbusters - from a guy in this class. My Maiden name is Egan so, I'm sure that had something to do with it but I remember Egon being the brainy, nerdy fellow and I was far from smart about history! At least it made me sound smart, right? I got asked to my first dance by a guy in this class. Plus, the teacher was a cool teacher and made it as much fun as possible; considering it was history.
The Senior Hall!! Needs no words.
The Warriorette room. Oh, the memories of not feeling good enough and all the sparkles and sequence. Oooh, the sparkles and sequence.
The big gym! Basketball games, dance class, crazy insane warriorette practice. Oh, and a little thing called graduation.
Just a cool thing to see.
In this room, I had my favorite class of all. I can't remember exactly what it was called but it was set up like a real life business office. We had to trade off being the front desk person for a week and had projects with due dates, learned shorthand, and had meetings in the meeting room that was to the left of the photo. (not shown) It was such a cool class! It pushed me at times but I really liked that. It's also the place where I received my first flowers from a boy other than family. :)
The small gym. I remember trying out for sophomore class officer and we had the assembly in here. I was sooooo out of my league! Also, cheerleader tryout clinics were held in this gym. I lost the election for sophomore class officer and decided cheering wasn't for me. Dancing was my thing.
And to finish out our tour, here is said chum. We met at this school and I thought she really disliked me at first but turns out we had a special relationship that is still there today. So glad I was able to attend this high school and have such good memories.
Clearfield Easter Egg Hunt
Ellyse and dad were together down there somewhere. Allie and I were together. I did the best I could with the camera. Sorry Ellyse.
Allie putting on a temporary smile for me in the frigid temp.'s!
Reflections Contest 2011
If daddy had his way, - which he almost did - she would've been doing a "Together we can defeat the Zombie Apocalypse" paper with toothpicks used as Zombie arms sticking out of the page. You guys, the man is obsessed with Halloween. OBSESSED!
Here are all the participants. I was surprised at how many didn't participate. Ellyse is the middle looking down.
