Man verses storm.

We had a large lightning storm sweep through last night. It woke Emily up and she came to bed with us. Shortly after, a bright flash and a loud bang brought us all wide awake. Something beeped for a second and Dawn made me investigate. I couldn't find anything, but the storm was pretty impressive. Since Emily is quite timid about...everything, I thought I would check the weather online and see how long the storm should last. I tried turning on the computer, and...nothing. Not a single thing. No power. I checked my surge protector and it looked fine, the monitor, speakers, and printer worked, but nothing from the computer. The modem was also fried. We no longer have a computer. We'll get it checked out, hopefully today, but probably not until next week and hopefully something will be salvageable. We'll see. Until then we revert back to primitive life, without a computer. It's worse than using food storage.

Oh, that lightning shattered a pane of our neighbors glass door. Wow.

By the way, as I've been reading computer geek websites to see how bad the computer may be, surge protectors are no match for lightning.

It's a girl....we think.

I had my ultrasound last week. Everything is looking great and it was fun to see the baby move around and wiggle her toes! The baby was being very modest and really wasn't letting the tech get a good look at the gender. We did get a quick peak and the tech wanted to say it was a girl, but wouldn't because it was only for a second. Nathan had given me a second ultrasound the week before and we thought it was clear it was a girl, but with his lack of experience we didn't want to completely rely on this. So, after seeing the ultrasound on Thursday we have determined we are having a girl unless at a future ultrasound we are proven wrong:) We'll keep you posted!

Easter!

We had a fun Easter at Nathan's parents. The kids looked great before church and amazingly still looked good after church! We had a fun Easter egg hunt Saturday night. There is still a lot of candy in our house! I guess I need to let the kids have more so I don't eat all of it :)

E, J, and K after church on Sunday.

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Okalhoma!

We had a fun trip to Oklahoma City over Easter Break to visit Nathan's parents. The weather was warm and we had a lot of fun seeing Grandpa and Grandma!



We visited the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It is a very beautiful memorial. J was caught trying to sit on the chairs they have for each person who died. The wind was slightly chili, but we had fun. We even ran into some people who used to live in Rexburg Idaho! It's a small world out there :)

We also went to and Orr Family Fun Farm. We had an Easter Egg hunt, rode on a train (that we had to help push up a small hill because it was low on gas), petted animals, and E got to ride on a horse! She loved it! Can you believe my daughter who is terrified of so much rode on a horse!

We had so much fun in Oklahoma and appreciate Nathan's parents for hosting us! We love you guys! We can't wait to go visit again.
