Wow! I am not good with promises to write in this thing... I don't think I will take up anymore challenges to do so! =(

There were a few things this past week however, that I would like to share!

On Memorial Day we went to the cemetery to visit my husbands sister Teara. She was hit by a car when she was 6 and he was 8. He always has had a rough time dealing with this still to this day because he feels it was his fault. Even though he knows he can't blame himself. Anyways, my eyes filled up with tears as we got there and my 21 month old son walks right up to Teara's head stone, sat down in front of it and rambled on. Before he got up he kissed his hand and placed it on the picture of her that is on the head stone! Kasen has never been there before, and we didn't point out the head stone. He went straight to it on his own. Now, isn't that amazing?




Yesterday, Kasen and I went up to Ogden to help Robyn volunteer at Caden and Tesla's Elementary school. It was fun but my camera died before I could get any pictures =(

After the Field Day at the Elementary school we went back to Robyn's house, made some sandwiches and headed up to the park with the kids for a picnic. It was a nice visit I had, but containing 6 kids at the park! Wow...


I had to get going because my brother asked me to take him on an errand at 2 so I left about 1:09. We were driving, Kasen and I North toward Brigham City on Wall Avenue by the Newgate Mall. I had been on the phone with my mom, she was asking me if I heard the news about what the doc told my sister Tiffy. I had glanced back at my cranky son and noticed he had taken off the top part of his seat belt. I was mad and scared at the same time, I yelled "Kasen, darn it. Mom, I gotta go Kasen took off his seatbe--- Shit, I wrecked" I dropped the phone, watched as Kasen flung forward from his car seat and hit the back of the passenger seat with his head. I looked forward again and the car was gone. So I drove out of the intersection and pulled into Master Muffler and checked on Kasen. Luckily he still had the bottom part of his seat belt on so his butt remained in the seat. I called 911. EMT checked Kasen out, said he'd be okay. They gave him a cute teddy. The other lady had also pulled out of the intersection just in the other direction that is why I didn't see her. They ended up citing me for the wreck because even though it was my green light I could not pin point the exact vehicle from quarter mile away! Therefore I was distracted.. Um?? Yes I was distracted, my child was taking his seat belt off.. Any who, the real shock and effect of all this didn't hit until bedtime. I laid there thinking about how lucky we were. I cried knowing that Kasen was in a dangerous situation. And I replayed the the whole thing over and over again. I had a rough night sleeping!
