Saturday with a Tude

Saturday seemed like any other Saturday.  I had done some cleaning & yard work and decided to head to Meijer to take advantage of a Friday/Saturday sale. 
As I was getting out of my car I received a call from Tyler (who was at home)...he has telling me how terrible the weather was and to stay in the car. He seemed pretty adamant ..which in hindsight, I should have know when he called, it must be pretty bad..lol!!

Against his urging I went in the store...it wasn't even raining in Rockford!  As I shopped, I could here some wind gusts and loud noises....but wasn't too shaken.
As I drove home, on 131, I saw a stretch of road that had hail along both shoulders...hmmm!
I did see debris blown all over and some trees down in my neighborhood.

This was our deck


After further investigation....this is what we found!

the hail broke our window screens 

the siding has all cracks and holes in it. 

The high school gym has a whole in the roof..which is about 4 doors down from my house!!
the roof membrane that came off 

Surprisingly, we never lost power..but we were without cable/internet for Sunday (big whoop!)  Some people in the area just got there power back on today (Tuesday)..so we where pretty lucky!

Spring Break 2014....

So we are just coming off Spring Break 2014...
Friday night Trent went over to Roller Fox..he has been begging to go roller skating...so like a good mom we headed over..I'm here to make all his dreams come true!  So to Roller Fox we went!

Wednesday we went to the Delta Plex for  Kidz Fest 2014
It was pricey (but we had a BOGO free coupon..;) )..and some of the more "fun" rides/activities cost MORE money....but we stayed all day, so we got our monies worth...

That night he spent the night at his friends house and they went to see Captain America on Thursday.

Thursday night his friend Dawson spent the night here and Friday we went back for more roller skating at Roller Fox!

It was an okay week weather wise..not super warm..but not snowing either!!!
