Wyoming Accident

What we had planned on being a nice, pleasant weekend in Wyoming started out a bit on the rough side. I was out for a run enjoying the beautiful scenery when I came home to a near empty house as Grandma Leslie had taken Lex & Isabel out for a ride on the ATV.


I was told that the boys (Alan & Justin) had gone to take care of the ATV because it had run out of gas or something. I thought nothing of it. Shane had run in the house for a minute & had a gut feeling something wasn't right. Just a few minutes later, I see the kids come through the front door and I could immediately sense something was wrong. The ATV had a mechanical issue & got stuck in reverse accelerating. Leslie couldn't control it and the speed threw the kids off the ATV. It seems Leslie was also thrown from the ATV before it rolled over her! Luckily no one was seriously injured, but everyone was pretty beaten & shaken up. They were all in tears as they came into the house. Isabel had two goose eggs on her forehead and road rash up her arm & a pretty hard hit on her hip. Lex had a nasty bruise on his thigh. Leslie got the worst of it with the ATV rolling over her. She was in a lot of pain all weekend and just felt terrible about what happened even though it was out of her control. Thankfully all have recovered since.

Drive-In Movie

I have wanted to take the kids to a drive-in movie over the summer for so long. It's been on my summer bucket list for years & finally we got the opportunity to do so with some friends who planned out the evening. We got to see the new Ice Age movie. It was perfect weather & the kids loved it.

A late night certainly calls for some of this...

We arrived a little early to eat dinner & hang out for a bit...



  

Isabel checking out the weather. We got close to getting sprinkled on, but not quite!

It's getting dark... we're ready! Bring on the dinosaurs!



About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
