Oh Hail,

We were driving when it hit our nieghbor, but this was the aftermath...

I'm not sure if this little creek bed as ever been this full to actually have water flowing through it!

It's Swinter..

Taking a page from the Phineas and Ferb workbook I give you SWINTER:

Although there was way cooler since it was the middle of summer and they were to hot, we didn't get that choice  it still way to freakin cold outside and Bug was a little disappointed because we were going to go to the park and then it started snowing.. you can see it in her face =)

Some people call it Wummer

Lighting Storms

Here in Utah we get a few good storms in the month of July. Granted they aren't as good as Tornado weather but they are fun to watch. The other night Husband Bug and I had our back windows open watching lighting. I had my camera downstairs at thought I would take a few photos.. in the dark with a portrait lens. ummm... yea I don't do middle of the night lighting photos well so these turned out blurry but in my defense I wasn't using a tripod, was trying to balance on the back of a couch and had a 5 sec shutter. I'm lucky they came out at all.. ;)

Bug was intrigued with the lighting and wanted more and more of it. 

Every time I clicked my camera when there was a lighting strike Husband and I would laugh and then I would realize I couldn't laugh because I was trying so hard to keep the camera from shaking. We did however get a few bolts

after the lighting moved from our neighborhood I tested out different shutter speeds on a nearby light post. the weird thing was that I was trying so hard to time is just right to draw a heart and they all ended up being upside down. Silly me didn't realize it was my fault.
