We had a blast and then got blasted

We had so much fun this weekend!

Friday evening came and we watched our darling niece for a couple of hours.

She melts me, seriously.

It was so cute to watch Cameron and Abby play together.
They also like to hug a lot which lends itself to further melting.

Sigh.

Saturday morning Adison had her first soccer game.

The sports park that they had it at was really nice.

Adison's team lost {although they don't technically keep score, everyone does though}.

She cried because the other team was laughing at them for losing.

Sigh.

I was trying to come up with some real good words of wisdom.

But then my Dad aka Silly Papa said,

"Adison, this just goes to show you how to treat the other team when you win a game."

Way to save the day Papa!
I was going with,

"They are just not being nice."

After the game we went to the car wash, this was pretty much Abby's expression the entire time, she loved it!

We had a pretty busy rest of the day.

Then we decided to take the kids to the park.

{Consider this your warning, there are A LOT of pictures.}

Adison pretty much bolted and found some kids to play with.
Surprised, I didn't think so.

Abby had so much fun walking around.

I actually got Lee to stand still for a second to get a pic!

Abby kept collecting things to give to me.

Wasn't that sweet of her!?!

I loved her face in this one and HAD to include it!

Adison is such an amazing big sister!

I love her!

Abby kept cuddling with K while they were swinging, melted me.

Go Big Blue, Michigan!!!

Ainsley's sweet smile while Adison was pushing her.

Sisters!

After the park we had some dinner then headed over to church.

Our Pastor gave the most AMAZING sermon EVER.

It was about eternity and the Biblical view of it.

AH-MAZ-ING!

Needless to say, after we left I was so excited and giddy and pumped.

Sunday morning after lazing around for a bit we decided to take the kiddos on a walk.

Then had some quiet time before heading over for Small Group.

We had an amazing time, I love everyone in our group!

After that we had a few errands to run.

While we were waiting at the drive thru at Taco Bell {oh so healthy, NOT!} K and I noticed some clouds rotating.

Yes, we live in Tornado Alley.

So, I called my Dad to ask if we were in a tornado warning.
He said that we weren't and told me what to expect weather wise, mainly strong winds .

No biggie.

Not 10 seconds after we hung up it got WINDY!

So windy that the car started rocking back and forth and there was so much debris in the air that it was hard to see.

While I was watching the clouds K and Adison saw a construction sign go spiraling by.

The temperature dropped 24 degrees in a matter of minutes and it started raining big, heavy rain drops.

It was intense.

As we were getting home we noticed that the bad weather occured by our house too.

Our neighbor's house lost several shingles off of their roof.

They were in our backyard and even up in a tree.

Some trellis work on our front porch blew off, into the street and destroyed.

Before

After

Yes, this is what the wind did to it. Completely torn apart, it was all over our yard and the street.

I spoke with my Dad after we got home.

Apparently the winds reached 80 mph and a roof was blown off of a house.

Yikes.

I am just happy to hear that everyone is safe.

Now THAT was a busy, fun, crazy weekend.

How was yours?
