Surviving the Storm

This past Wednesday we had tornado's in the area. It was pretty crazy. One moment Scott and I are outside playing in his little pool, then the next moment I hear distant familiar sirens. So I ran inside flipped on the news and just like I suspected, I was hearing tornado sirens. I couldn't believe it, because it was so calm and sunny outside. But sure enough within no time at all the wind started blowing, the skies started turning a yellowish green and the sirens got louder and louder telling us to "TAKE COVER". Having grown up in tornado territory and having experienced tornado's and tornado drills, I knew the basics of tornado safety. But I still called my mom to make sure I knew what to do. I also called Mindy who was across the complex with no TV and gave her a heads up on what was going on and what she should do to stay safe.

Scott, Keeley, my belly (which is becoming an entity in itself) and I all hunkered down in the bathtub with a twin sized mattress over head. It was a bit of a squish, but it wasn't bad. We played with toys, sang some songs and waited until the warning was over.

Ty, on the other hand, was doing what you are strictly asked NOT to do in a tornado situation. He was in the jeep driving around and picking up his reps who didn't have anywhere to take cover. (I secretly think he was out looking for a tornado, which is not smart! But he'd never admit that to his anxious wife.)

Of course I had to take pictures of Scott and Keeley surviving their 1st tornado.

signing "help" because he wanted help getting out of the tub. :) ~so cute~

Scotty loves Keeley and snuggles him every chance he gets. What you can't see is that Scotty is making an "ooooooooooh" sound while squishing himself as close to Keeley as possible.
