We woke up today to a large, unsuspecting thunder and lightening storm. As I awoke to the loud clash of thunder that I was sure was in my pillow and flash of light that light up the room very clearly, I wondered how many minutes it was going to take for the kids to be in bed with us. Before I could finish my thought- the door was flung open and my two oldest children were shaking like leaves. All I could do was smile and tell them it was going to be alright. Anna- the baby, slept just like one throughout all the clanging and clashing that was going on right outside her window. Unfortunately the Fireballs had a very early game planned this morning-9am! At 8:15 we recieved a call to tell us our game was cancelled due to the lightening- they didn't care about the buckets of water that were falling from the sky- just the lightening! It was a happy/sad occasion for us. I was more than happy to not go sit in the rain (but if you ask my mom, she will tell you part of watching your son play soccer is the rain)- but I also enjoy watching Garrett play soccer. So our Saturday went on without the soccer game.
Claire, Anna and I went to run errands, as Ryan and Garrett took the horses out to Ryan's parent's house. As Claire and I were driving down the street- Claire asked if there was a machine that made thunder and lightning. I told her no- that actually God makes the thunder and lightning. She proceeded to tell me that she was going to ask God to turn off his machine that makes the thunder and lightning! I just smiled, knowing that any explanation of thunder and lightning won't make any sense to her- so she should just go one with the vision she has in her head about God's large machine!
We did get home from our errands just in time for the awesome BSU game! They were not slated to win- nor did I have the confidence in them- but they played hard and beat the highly ranked Oregon Ducks! I stand tall and proud to be a BSU alumni! Go Broncos!
To end our nice day- Ryan, Anna and I were able to go enjoy a yummy dinner at Outback. Garrett stayed with the in-laws and Claire went to the neighbors birthday party. We had forgotten how easy (OK not easy- just different) it is to have just 1 child! But I wouldn't change my 3 kids for anything in the world!

Yea! Go BSU! I have to admit, I had some doubts but knew we could if we played well and play well we did! Glad you didn't have to sit in the rain! Crazy weather, isn't it?
