Jason's New Truck!

We just got home with this 2008 Dodge Ram today! We are SO excited to finally have a nice NEW truck! =)

Accident

Here are some pictures from Larry's truck accident on December 30, 2007. LUCKILY he was wearing his seatbelt and he only walked away with a few scratches and some soreness. Sam, his dog, was with him and after the crash ran off, we think because he was just scared. We are so so SO glad that Larry is alright, we don't know what we would have done if something happened to him. How the accident happened is he was driving along, and hit black ice and slid off the road, hitting an embankment and crashing the left side of the truck into it, with the truck falling back on the right hand side. He got away with a "speed too fast for conditions" ticket, because of the weather and the conditions of it at the time. Anyway, that's all nothing compared to his life still being here and him still being in all our lives. Steve, Heather and kids: I am sure we all feel how lucky we are and we all know how lucky Larry is for wearing his seatbelt and being a responsible driver. We all love him dearly and are all very relieved for his life still being with us all. They said if he hadn't been wearing his seatbelt he probably wouldn't have made it. . . hard to even think about! SO EVERYONE, WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!

Some Pics and Videos

Hey everyone - we haven't posted in a while, so here are a few pics and a video from before Christmas. I am sure we will be posting more pics after the holidays!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Pumpkin Pickin' Pictures!

Saturday afternoon we went with my Mom, her boyfriend and his son and niece to go Pumpkin Picking! :) Nichole had a blast, being able to walk around and look at Pumpkins and pick her own. She especially liked sitting on them! I myself had never been to a pumkin patch before, so it was exciting for me, too! We had to drive to White Bird to the Killgore Farm to get them, and the fall colors in the mountains are beautiful right now! When we got there, Mr. Killgore had already set out some pumpkins and had them for sale, but we asked if it was alright if we went out and picked our own. He was so kind to let us go out and get whatever we wanted! He even gave the kids their pumpkins for free! We all had a good time, and thank heaven the weather was tolerable while we were there! It didn't rain or anything, except for maybe a couple sprinkles. :) I love the fall time, and I am glad we got the chance to take Nichole out and have this experience. I think this will be a yearly tradition as long as Mr. Killgore is around! :)

Pumpkin Pickin'!

Well we went pumpkin picking yesterday afternoon, but I tried to upload pictures today and that function isn't working right now, so I will have to post some pics later! HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY!
