Mid May

May has brought out the spring storms! Almost nightly for the last couple of weeks, we have had some kind of storm! Some light, and some not so much! Tornados, Hail, Rain! We have seen it aww! Hate to see the destruction is has left everywhere!!!


May 12, we sat outside watching the storms pass us by! We did have a hail storm and some rain, but the worst of this one missed us! Thank God! But we had so much fun watching our girls play out in the midst of the showers! The simplest times, bring me the greatest joys!

You can see Lil sister is about to get her big sister! :)

Guess what Lil E is doing? She is blowing on blades of grass? How many people stop and teach their kiddos to do this anymore??? Simple Country Living!

Lil K is doing it too!!!

Aww, Daddy is teaching her again! :)

Look at that beautiful rainbow!!!! I love the rainbows after the rain!

Can you tell we were playing in the rain!!!! :)

NOw they are making pretendingt his is the pond......

Now it's a garden!!!!!



That night we spent some time laughing at the newest toy! The girls can't play with it really! We tried to let Lil E but this is by far not a kids toys. We got hte voice command controled Dale Jr car!

YOu have to tell it just want to do, like pit stop, turn right, and all tlhat! But you gotta be quick and tell it before.. It's crazy! And even more funny to watch them try to control this crazy car!

No way would I recommend this as a kid toy, like it is marketed!

My friend visited us over a couple of weekends in May! What a TREAT that was!!! It makes me so happy to have friends come visit, and to go visit them too!! After a late night of fun and games, I made this breakfast pot pie for the family and my friend! Everyone loved it!

Patty's Special Breakfast Potpie

2 pillsbury pie crust (refrigerated kind you unroll)

1 lbs of sausage cooked and any grease drained

8 eggs, scrambled

1 - 1/2 c shredded cheese

1/2 pkg of hashbrowns (country style squares) cooked

Unroll the first pie crust in a deep dish pie plate. Mix the sausage, egg, cheese, and hasbrowns together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fill pie shell! Then place the other curst on top. Make a few slits in the top or cut a lil something out of it... Then you bake at 350, with foil or a pie ring around it to prevent the edges from burning. You will make it about 35 - 40 minutes. Until the crust is done and a beautiful golden brown. Slice and serve! We garnished with some yummy salsa!

Can you believe we are talking about more hail storms??? On May 16 we were hit with 3 different hail storms. What a mess! (This is the day Oklahoma City and Colorado both had huge and crazy hail storms! Colorados left 6 inches deep on the road ways! Ok City had larger than Softball size! Glad it missed us in the middle from being so bad!)

Lil E was out hunting the different shapes of the "ice" it rained! (as she says it).

After it was all done Elissa was busy playing in the rain puddles!!! :)

Then the next week, we were blessed with beautiful mornings, but still lots of afternoon storms!

So I will leave with some beautys and some May Flowers!

Hugs and Blessings,
