Wreck

So the craziest thing happened while we were on our way home from the beach in California. A car was trying to pass another car while going around a sharp corner... Of course the vehicle lost control. It was so crazy! It's was like we were in the movies the screeching tires and all the sparks coming from the car. I grabbed onto Nate's arm (cause we were right behind her) all I could says is "oh no oh no!" As the car started to flip and roll towards us (it rolled about 3 or 4 times before it landed on its tires) and lanes about 15 feet in front of us. I was so scared to look at the car as it landed on its tires and roll backwards off the road cause as we watched it flip you could see everything inside it flying around and I didn't know how people were in the car... if they were dead or live... If I was going to see something I didn't want to see... But I couldn't take my eyes off the car. As she rolled passed Nate was shouting "stop stop stop what are you doing". She was just starting forward with her eyes super wide and hands up. I was relieved she was ok. So I had Nate pull off cause cars were honking cause we had stopped so we didn't hit her or her hit us. And Nate (he had just got done swimming at the beach so he was wet with no shoes or shirt on) runs over to her car to make sure she is ok. I was still panicking in my head cause of how close we were to being part of that wreck and the thought of something happening to my family. Nate was gone for what seemed like forever! He came back for a second to grab his phone so they could find hers. While he was gone a few other people had stopped to help one person had a leaf blower and was getting all the junk off the road and the other guy was helping pick things up and then came over to the girls car to make sure everything was ok. And Nate came back to put his shirt on cause he said he felt way stupid ha. After that the cops and everyone showed up and were questioning Nate cause the girl didn't remember anything and we were the only witnesses of the accident there. When Nate got in the car I asked him about what she had said and everything. He said she was only 16! And when I got up to the car she was like where am? What happened? So I explained to her what happened we tried to find her phone but with no luck she used mine to call her dad and then we called 911. I tried to help her find her shoe cause they flew off during the accident but we only could find one. And she was wearing her seatbelt which I'm pretty sure saved her life!! Later that night the girls dad called and left Nate a voicemail saying how thankful and glad he was we stopped and that his daughter said how calm and everything Nate was and how it really helped her not to freak out. This 16 year girl was very lucky she didn't get hurt at all! And we were lucky enough to be paying attention and that Nate was on the ball and knew what to do! It just makes you think how fragile life!

These are a few pictures of the people getting stuff off the road and the cars backed up and when cars started stopped I could hear more tires screeching which freaked me out cause I didn't want to witness another accident.

This a picture of the girls car! It was pretty totalled!!!

Jace loved the ride on the carousel and was very sad we had to leave. But we were all freezing and had to pick Nate up.

Christmas Expo

We took the boys to the Christmas Expo in Idaho Falls. Jace got to decorate a sugar cookie and do a coloring sheet! They both got to get pictures with Santa's reindeer and then with Santa. While we were waiting in line to see the reindeer Jace took off run a lady grabbed him for me before he completely escaped out of the line then he took off running again while we were in line with to see Santa but this time no one grabbed him so I tried to run after him while carrying todd ya not fun at all!!!
