4 Wheeler Accidents and Straight Hair

I always have so much to share! I love writing this blog because it makes me realize that we really do have a lot of fun! When you don't tell anyone or try and think of what you're grateful for, it seems like we don't realize it as much!



Well it was the latest thing to happen but i must show it first :) Drew's cute sister straightened his hair and i won't lie it was kind of cute!



Well we've had an eventful few weeks!


First story was about a week ago. Drew, Preston (his brother) and I all went 4 Wheeling here in Cache Valley and I am not allowed to reveal the location because no one knows about it so we want to keep it that way. It was probably the most gorgeous trail I've ever been on! At first it got too rocky and my borrowed 2 wheel drive 4 wheeler was left on the side of the trail, I climbed up on the back of drew & mine and we kept going. I got a million Pictures but I'll save you and only put up 3 here :) When we got to the top (not the real top just to where the snow started) there were a ton of deer and moose tracks everywhere we immediately thought of Kyle, Drew's other brother. Kyle loves Shed hunting and for those of you who are like i was you have no clue what that is. Shed hunting is going around looking for antlers that have fallen off the animals that shed them. There can either be big money in it or if you're a good guy like kyle you can build things out of them. Well we headed back down and finally got to the other 4 wheeler. I hopped on and started taking that one down. Drew zoomed off in his fancy one and Preston was behind me so he'd stay with me (because I don't think I mentioned this was my first time on my own 4 Wheeler.) Well I started going a little too fast for my taste so i took my last 3 fingers and put them on the brake (like on a bike) but i was too late... I hit a rock in the road jerking my handlebars out of my hand and up on an incline on the side of the trail... the 4 wheeler tilted sidewards and I was falling. I had 2 choices: Grab for the handlebars and possibly pull it on top of me/possibly stop myself from falling, or just roll off and take the hit. I did the second. I rolled off to my left, landed on my back on top of rocks, rolled again over rocks, into a small stream that made up most of the trail at this point of the trip. Preston ran to my side, thankfully I was alright but I was beat up. I got back on, went down the trail (much much slower this time) and of course we didn't see drew for about 10 minutes when he was heading back up the trail to see what was taking us so long. All in all I'm alright I have a nasty bruise on my shoulder, Knee and Leg. My knee was pretty torn up and my back muscles were pretty sore for a long time from landing on those rocks straight on, But I lived and It could have been much worse.

Well I didn't get pictures of the fall or anything but I tried to give you enough detail :)
So here are three of the ones I did get and we all look kind of silly but that's expected after helmets.


These 2 are at the top

The left is Drew and Preston












And of course the right is Me and Drew

you can't tell but it's a pretty steep climb up to where we were it looks like it meshes though :(


Then Below is this GORGEOUS horse trough in the middle of nowhere




well next we Had a combined Graduation party for BreAnne and Birthday Party for Preston! Aren't they so darn cute?
Well we also had something else happen, We all spent the night at the Ogden Hospital the other night. Drew's Dad Wendall was having huge pains while he was driving his semi through echo Canyon. So we met them at the hospital, when hooked up to a meter, they told him it was pain worse than labor pains and I personally have never experienced them, but i assume they hurt pretty bad!

Luckily he was okay and I honestly believe with my whole heart that it was on account of the prayers of our friends and family :)

We're so grateful for all of you and I am so excited for today! I get to have my Dad and Step Mom come up and see our house :)
I love you all! And P.S. Thank you so much for the Birthday Wishes!
