Logan's Graduation

Yay! Logan graduated from Kindergarten yesterday! So cute!

Jinkies!

We had our 7 year anniversary on Thursday, we couldn't do much this year, but Steve took the time to write me a really sweet letter. Best present ever.

Steve had a second interview here in St George, so we are hoping we might actually get to stay. We will see. We won't know more about this one until June.

Logan has his kindergarten graduation today. So proud of him. At his testing for reading his teacher said that going into first grade they like them to be reading at a 4-7 and he is reading at a 30. Not really sure what that means, but it is obviously high. Go Logan!

I have begun planning for Logan's sixth birthday, it is going to be a Scooby-Doo theme. I am thinking blue, green and orange, with some kind of mystery hunt. I am very concerned about how I will pull off this cake. We are going to have it on the fourteenth if anyone wants to come. I know that most of you will be out of town then, or pregnant, but you are all invited anyway!

I guess that about covers it for now.

Watched Over

Yesterday as we were driving home from visiting family we had a scary experience. We were about 20 miles north of Beaver. The rain we had been driving in was turning to snow and starting to stick. At this point we aren't sure what happened. We started fishtailing and then spinning 360s on the freeway. We were blessed that there were no other cars close to us. Somehow we slid backwards off the side of the road into the muddy, snowy, embankment. Luckily we went almost straight back, so we didn't roll. Somehow the passenger side-view mirror casing broke - we have no idea how. The drivers side front tired was completely blown out. We aren't sure if this caused the accident or was a result of the accident. Other than that we were just fine. Car was still running, dvd player still playing scooby-doo for the boys, heat still working. Logan cried a bit, Bronson was just upset that he dropped his Life Savers! Several people stopped to check on us and help. We were in the mud kinda deep with a blown tire so we knew we would need a tow. A good Samaritan named Mike was there to help. He had AAA. He called them for a tow truck and gave them his AAA number, so we didn't even have to pay for the tow. About an hour later the tow truck was able to get to us. This was the boys favorite part. They thought it was pretty cool having the tow truck pull us out and onto the flatbed. The truck driver then took us to Beaver, the boys and I stayed in the car while they took off the tires and checked them out. We only had to replace the one tire that was completely shredded. So blessed. Then we were back on the road. All in all it was a three hour detour.

All I could think about while the car was spinning was my sweet, innocent boys in the backseat. And I know Steve felt the same way. We both thought we were going to roll for sure. I am not sure what we have done to deserve Heavenly Father's protection, but wow, we feel extremely looked after. We are so grateful that he was watching over our little family and protected us. Yes, it was scary. Yes, we had a car accident, but other than that everything went perfectly. No one was hurt, very minimal damage, and Steve even made it to his job interview. We are so grateful to Heavenly Father.

Tool Belts

 Yesterday I was itching for a project and ended up whipping up some of these. they are "tool belts", but only in the very loosest of terms. currently they are holding cars and dinosaurs. VERY easy. i do not sew. these took only 5-10 minutes or so each.
