Tornado?

So we finally had a good storm hit us! Yesterday we were watching a football game and a warning thing popped up on the TV...it said there was a tornado warning for Pinal county but closer to Tucson, we kind of laughed but thought it was kind of freaky too. We didn't really see how it was possible because it was stinkin hot and sunny. Clate had been sick all day and we needed to get out of the house for a bit, so we put the kids in the stroller and decided to walk to our backdoor neighbors. We walked out side and it was raining...not hard but with huge drops. And it was the weird kind of rain because it was super sunny but raining. We decided to still take the walk because we thought it was going to go away...but oh how we were wrong! We turned the corner to the neighbors and it was suddenly dark and pouring...then came the hail! My next thought was crap, this is what happens in Twister right before the tornado hits! I was also thinking of my brother Sherod on his mission in OK and how we were going to see a tornado before him. Well we didn't get a tornado, but got a nice storm ! I took some pictures of what looks like a tornado...
Started like this and then...

Then it turned into this...kind of looks like a tornado

So you might be asking what the heck is pink spaghetti AKA "skettis?" Well it is a Hardt family secret recipe that is quite simple, consisting of noodles, tomato sauce and some butter. You might be thinking that sounds GROSS, but it is amazing. We have had many friends and family who didn't like the idea at first, then we make em' try it and I am pretty sure they LOVE it! I must admit we eat it almost everyday (yes we are cheap), but the kids can't live with out it. Here are some pictures of Sawyer chowing down her "sketti!" If you are skeptic...come over and I will make it for you, and make you a believer:)
Isn't she cute?
Sometimes the kids get a bit messy while eating it:)

Every Afternoon


So every afternoon when Marcus gets home he is completely worn out! I guess waking up at 2:30am and working 10 hours in 100+ degree weather would do that to ya...but he comes home and wants to take a quick 20 min. power nap before he has to shower, eat and head to school. While he sleeps this is what the kids do...




They just love to see daddy even if that means they wrestle on him while he sleeps...and we all know that Marcus can sleep through ANYTHING:)
We are so thankful for him and all his hard work. We love daddy!
