A day out, traumatic event, mustache, birthday, and car-less :)

As you can tell-our weekend was anything but boring! I got the day off Friday (the school was closed), and was very happy about it. One more month til i'm done student teaching!

Saturday we unexpectedly tended our nieces (sounds weird...i've never had nieces or nephews til i got married!). We had a good time, but realized that we need to stock up on kid movies and toys-we have zero. We had to resort to the girls painting Josh's toenails (what troopers). After that we decided to spend our Saturday afternoon out and about, to get away from Orem. We went to Gardner Village for a few hours, I hadn't been there in years and it was really fun. We shopped around, looked at some animals, ate some candy. Good times.

After Gardner Village we stopped by IKEA, cause it's the best store, and purchased a much needed coffee table. However, on our way there I got a phone call from momma stapley. They had all gone snowmobiling that day (my dad, mom, bree, trev & charlee), apparently they were playing around in an open area and my dad w/ bree was right behind Charlee, he was going to go past her to the right when his snowmobile lurched forward (his hand wasn't on the gas or anything). His snowmobile hit the back of Charlee's and then went up and over it and slammed into her back. My dad & Bree fell of their sled as well as Charlee. Charlee was in shock but tried to tough it out. Long story short-Trevor had to call search & rescue to get her out, then an ambulance took her to the hospital to x-ray her back. She was so lucky, however, no broken bones, no spinal injuries-just a deep bone bruise in her lower back. When we heard, Josh & I drove up to Heber, where they were all in the hospital. Definitely an experience and not such a pleasant one! My dad owes her big time ;)

Sunday, Josh shaved in a mustache (for Mustache March....he claims). He showed it off at my dad's birthday party gathering at my parents house on Sunday. Nasty, nasty-Let's get serious....mustache's don't ever look good.

Lastly-BEFORE the family party, on our way up, my wonderful car broke down. We had to get it towed and it's getting fixed today. It's the worst!! But, no complaints, we are all still alive and healthy and back to the Monday routine!

P.S. Josh's hair is growing back nicely!
