Our adventure to Logan

Klay's birthday was last Saturday and the only thing he wanted for his birthday was to head down to Logan for the Utah State basketball game. We left Avrie behind (thanks Kyle and Katie!) and drove down to Logan Saturday afternoon. On the drive down we had just passed Malad when Klay said "Holy Cow" (or something to that effect) and I looked in the rear view mirror just in time to see a car JUMP off the side of the road going full speed. Klay saw the whole thing in the mirror. The car swerved from the right lane into the left lane and then overcorrected and FLEW off the side of the highway where there was quite a hill to go down. We pulled the car over super fast and jumped out to start running down to the car. Klay said "I dont' know if I can do this" as we jumped out of the car and my thought was "well, we're doing it so let's go." Klay doesn't deal well with blood or anything like that well at all. I called 911 as I was running down the road so Klay was a little ahead of me. The car had rolled down the hill and was facing backwards so it was smashed on both sides, the top, and most of the windows were broken out. Just as we were running down a guy stood up out of the driver's side and he was the only one in the car. He had hit his head on the window, gotten a few glass pieces in the side of his face, and his hand was bleeding, but luckily nothing too serious. We started talking to him and besides being in a little bit of shock he was doing fine. He said he was super tired and knew he should have pulled over at Malad but didn't and had fallen asleep at the wheel. After we started talking to him another car pulled over and she was a nurse so she pretty much handled it from there until an officer showed up and we headed out. Once back in the car Klay confessed that he thought we were going to see someone ran into a tree or completely smashed in the car or something grusome like that. I have to admit that I'm glad it wasn't that bad because I would have been the one dealing with it ALL and then have to deal with Klay passed out next to it all! But I hadn't even thought about what we would come across so I'm glad it was the best case senario.

Once we got to Logan we just chilled for a while, went to dinner with Brock and Cherie Ball and headed to the game. It was a great game and of course Utah State beat Boise so that made it even better. Brock and Cherie's baby, River, held out like a champ during the game, even sleeping through some of it! We stayed in a hotel that night and headed back Sunday morning with no crazy incidents on the drive back, thank goodness! So it was a quick trip but great to get away for a night.

Here we are having a wonderful (babyless) time at the game.

Avrie just started sitting through a whole episode of Micky Mouse Clubhouse and it's SO NICE for us! That may be bad that we are glad our 14 month old child will sit and watch TV but it sure makes my sleeping in a little more peaceful :) I didn't know how much of it she actaully understood but there's one part where Mickey say's "Say Oh Tootle!" and Avrie will say it every time with them. It's amazing to me how smart she is getting! Here she is watching an episode and snuggling with Klay.We love Avrie's morning hair, here is a picture of a normal "morning do" for Aves.
