Catching Up!

I wanted to post these earler but we haven't had internet for a while so here goes -

Saturday night we tried to go fishing but as soon as we got out there Gary got called to work for 4 1/2 hours so we tried again on Sunday - it was fun but we didn't even get a bite, but neither did anyone else fishing so I guess it wasn't just us.....but here are some pics!

Flood Footage

Here is some footage that my sister in laws parents shot by their house by Spencer!

More Flood images from Home!

Here are some more images of the flooding around Spencer - these pictures are from my Sister and brother in laws place about 6 miles north of town.

This is a small pond east of their house and needless to say it is way full ...almost ready to go over the road!
Here are the kids playing in the water and to the right of the picture you can see their Garden!!
ANother picture of the garden! - Sure hope they don't need to get the trucks out any time soon!
The look to be flooded in for a few days!

Thanks for the pictures Goesch's

These pictures are from my brother and sister in law that live on the farm where I grew up (in Spencer NE), they are as follows (Dad said they had over 4 inches yesterday!):

Here are some pics after the rain today, the first 3 are by our house, the fourth one is the intersection north of Bristow on the bristow/gross road were you turn to Rosedale and the fith one is on the bridge at bristow.....

Thanks for the pictures Steph!

Storms!

Last night was interesting to say the least, about 8 pm Gary got called out to work, about 8:45 he called and said "if you are not in the basement, you best get moving" so the kids and I made beds up in the basement. About that time the torando sirens started going off and continued to go off for more than half an hour - just as the kids fell asleep it started hailing - Karson sat up and asked if the house was still there! All in all Palisade didn't have much damage, I hear a fire truck lost a windshield and I know some of the power company vehicles have some large hail damage but overall we were pretty lucky. The picture below comes from Hayes Center who didn't fair so well - these pictures are from Ashli Cox. WOW! Gary got home around 12:30 and carried the kids back to their beds, needless to say we are all pretty tired today, and the storms are already starting again this morning!

Childs Play

The kids played outside last night while Gary mowed. They got out sidewalk cahlk and rode their bikes. We had planned on going fishing but the storm rolled in to fast last night and it started to rain!

Karsons drawing....I think it is the sun!

What a weekend!

Well what a busy crazy weekend! Gary and the guys all got back from building line Sunday Afternoon and we were all glad to see them home!

The kids and I helped Russ and Karla move and unpack most of the weekend - the kids enjoyed getting to see Peyton and the Mckinney kids.

The highlight of the weekend for Karson was getting his truck - That was his potty training goal/prize so we are all excited for him!
