New pillows from Grandpa Donald's shirts!!!


Grandpa Donald may not be with us anymore, but at least we have these pillow covers that my mom made for all of us from his shirts.
We all love them!!!

We had to drive home in this terrible storm, while Hannah was home alone in the storm shelter. There was terrible hail and a tornado between Wichita Falls and Burkburnett.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1LgliwTYjxxWcjQrXSaeaGG3KyrqVTWwV
This is how we found our trampoline when we got home....https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1vQ2gUwH2Y56sGTRLh0ZROXpu00NWovcE
This huge tree was ripped out of the ground about two miles from the Sheppard AFB front gate its scary how close it was to our home....https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Nu-Ng3LBURBILXXw0QeGkpbylk8DJqGw
Bill was able to repair the frame and net poles with his awesome sheet metal skills!!!https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1cgDB8ttPr1buROboakNVEWQ4LOuaHu5i 
Only two days without the trampoline and Bill had it back up and bouncing!!!

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge 1st visit!


Hannah spent the day at home with a headache and ended up in the Storm Shelter while we tried to get home later in the evening.  More to come in my next post...

Checking out the Dog Run Hollow Trail System...

We ended up on the Buffalo Trail, which was 8 miles and took about four hours...

We didn't realize we were on a four hour trail until we were two hours in...



It was a lot of work, but we made it and just in time for the biggest storm since we moved here...

On May 21st Hannah was able to meet up with her best friend, Milayna, from Italy. They moved here back in March, but due to COVID-19 we could not meet up. With Audra’s help we surprised Milayna with a sleepover with Hannah!!!https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1yZeaXipkBwlJP6DjFeuvfhEldo3k5IeZhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=13IFA8GRTBPbt4F9H-9TIOs4yFeHTpINK

A huge thank you to Burkburnett ISD for supplying both breakfast and lunch to my kids, we wanted to give them all a thank you gift! And they will continue to bring meals through the end of July. Ms. Michelle was also Alyssa’s bus driver for most of this past school year.

Screen-Free Saturdays or Sundays!!!


About four weekends ago, we (I) decided it would be a good thing to have a screen-free day each week.  Everyone has gone along with it so far!  On this particular Saturday we did pedicures in the evening and played Guesstures afterwards!!!

I think screen-free days have really helped our family to connect more!

Look at these happy faces!!!

Can you guess which one is me?
