This morning we woke up to the best sound on earth, the sound of a soaking rain. We went to take pictures of the rain. By the time we woke up there was about 2'' of rain out the back door. The only problem was we had not prepared our fields for rain as the saying goes. We had remodeled the garage into the boys room a couple of years back. We knew that if the water was at a certain point that it would flood the boys room. But that had to be about three inches all over out side patio. Today we reached that point. We had some help though, Thank God! Our neighbor had his tractor to help move water and we also had some friends over for a sleepover.

| Before we found the problem. |
 |
| Shea and his friend Tyler trying to move water away from the boys room. |
 |
| Janessa and Daddy were pushing water through a trench into the neighbors yard. |
 |
| These two turned shoving water into a race. |
 |
| Tyler's little brother Nate is watching the race. |
 |
| Because we live in west Texas, we only had one rain coat. So the rest of us used big trash bags. |
 |
| Inside the house. |
 |
| Mamma chicken and her babies were brought inside because they were soaked. Unfortunately we lost two in this storm. |
Mr. and Mrs. Neufeld had asked us to take care of the girls this afternoon earlier this week. So they were there as well. It certainly was an adventurous day.

| Sir. Princess Cami. |
 |
| Everyone's worn out from moving water. |
Later the kids build a fort using living room furniture.

| Kacie's Favorite doll. |
 |
| To go do chores everyone had on makeshift raincoats. |
By lunch time the water was no longer going into the room. And there was not much water damage. We were truly blessed. And the land is loving it.
