Storm Clouds

Yesterday was an exciting weather day! We had some pretty severe storms move through our area, but we just got rain in Bangs. I just happened to be out in the field doing my appraisals yesterday morning when the storms started to blow up. At one point, the storm cell closest to me caused the weather folks to issue a tornado warning. I didn't get too close and I did eventually turn back toward the office to seek shelter. I DID get some awesome clouds formation pictures though---before I left the area. Apparently, when a cold front from the north, a warm/moist trough of air from the south and a dry line all collide, you get cloud formations like this:
Isn't that awesome looking!? The dark spot there in the middle is where the potential tornado was located. God always gives an awesome cloud show during storms. I love watched storm clouds in Texas--they are like no other. I was in a safe place taking these pics---the storm was moving away from me. I couldn't resist getting some pictures!! Here are some more that I saw as well. Enjoy!

The huge let down.....

Unfortunately, Jordan did not make cheerleader. She was crushed! I was too......for her. It is just so hard to see your child hurt and upset. She got through it, though. She did say that she wants her scorecard so that she can see what she needs to improve on for next year. What a good sport! My baby! I'm so proud that she has a good attitude about things. A gift from God definitely. Anyway, Hunter didn't do well at his archery tournament, either. It was not a good Pitman weekend. But Spring Break was right after all the let downs, so the kids got a chance to rest, relax, and recuperate. Please God, bring on life with less drama! lol

Cheerleader Tryouts Tomorrow!

Jordan is trying out for junior high cheerleader tomorrow, Friday. She has been at cheer clinics all week......so all that hard work and learning will come up to this point tomorrow. Tryouts....I never liked the name tryout. It always seems so ugly and competitive to me. It's the "you aren't quite good enough to do this" word. I think I must have developed a negative attitude toward the word back as a child. Maybe there is a better word! I don't know..........I can't think of what a good replacement word would be for tryout. So, anyway, Jordan could use everybody's prayers tomorrow starting at 1:30 pm. She is so very excited, but said that if she doesn't make it then she would still be happy. Good attitude!
Hunter also has another archery tournament the weekend. It is indoors, so the wind shouldn't be a problem. :)
Here is a look into the past and howJordan looked as a cheerleader in elementary school! Cutie-Pie! Enjoy.
