Close Call!!!

So this last Saturday we were at the East Carbon Rodeo, cause of course Ty took bulls. Well the one half around the arena is a hill where people park and watch the rodeo from their trucks. Ty's sister invited us to sit with her so me and Braden went up with the stroller. I was standing about 2-3 feet away from the truck putting Braden in the stroller so he could eat his bottle and go to sleep (it was past his bedtime) and all the sudden the stroller jerked. I looked up and an SUV had backed into us. Then before I could do anything he reved up and hit us again. This time I had to grab the stroller and dig my feet into the dirt so that we didn't go tumbling down the hill. I was LIVID. I started screaming and swearing like a sailor. I was shaking all over and super upset. The kid turned around in the vehicle and my sister-in-law went over and started yelling at him and he says "ya I know, sorry" and drove off. He looked stoned. After he left I started crying because I was so upset. Braden is okay cause he hit the BACK of the stroller not the front but it was risky and could've been worse! Very uncool experience, guess it just goes to show you can never be too careful.

The Western Stampede

Lagoon with Ty's Family





We went to Lagoon with ty's family for the weekend and had a blast. We stayed in the campground, which was so nice with the kids, and rompeda around all day in the park. We brought Mav and he was an absolute blast. My favorite parts of the weekend were Braden in the cars...he loved them and cried every time we took him out. And Mav on the bumper cars LOL he would just spin in a circle until someone hit him and I would tell him to turn the wheel and he would spin the other direction. I laughed so hard. When he got off he runs over and says "Tiff I don't know what happened, I never drive before!" What a stud!

My poor baby!






So today at Walmart I was done shopping and decided to organize my coupons before checking out. I needed to cut a few and the only scissors I had on hand were my ambulance scissors that can cut through moto-X boots and pennies, etc. anyway my son is super grabby and reached while I was cutting and I went ahead and cut a chunk off the tip of his thumb without even realizing it. I couldn't get it to stop bleeding and quickly became flustered. Blood was all over him, me, and the paper towels. Thankfully Cass was there and helped me out. We tried some blood stop and it didn't work either. So we went over to the ambulance garage so it could be wrapped. it is the saddest thing EVER and I feel TERRIBLE. He is pretty pooped from the whole experience and sleeping pretty good! Note to everyone....cut the coupons before you go to the store!

My Backyard








we FINALLY landscaped the backyard. it's not quite done, the deck has to be finished, the french doors put in and the curbing done but we are well on our way. YAY! These are some before and after shots so you can all check out our progress.
We laid 5,400 square feet of sod! holy crap
