Crazy Weather

When Spring hits in Utah it either is really nice weather or cold and weird weather. One afternoon a couple of weeks ago it started hailing. It started coming down super fast and then the hail balls got huge. The wind started to blow really hard and my girls started crying. I took them back to our bathroom because I seriously didn't know if a tornado was hitting or what was going on. Once the hail and wind stop we looked outside and saw the the picture above. I have never seen hail like this in my life! Our trees and flowers were pretty beat up and I am not sure what hit us. It was probably a micro-burst of some kind. All the neighbors started coming out of their homes checking cars and their homes. It was a weird afternoon.
We get some bad Spring winds which in our area bring the best weeds ever....Tumbleweeds. They are the worst weed and we have some kind of wind tunnel in our front yard because they like to collect there. This pile wasn't even close to what it got to in the middle of night. It eventually covered the whole front of our house. Before Jason went to bed that night he prayed that Heavenly Father would take away the tumbleweeds. At about 4 a.m we could tell the the wind had changed direction and they all blew away. I call that a miracle and that Heavenly Father hears the prayer of a 7 year old boy and answers it!

That picture of the tumbleweed is so funny.
