Close call

As Chelsea and I were heading to Ventura, CA to visit Eric and Rachael Danielson we were wittness to a pretty bad accident. We were driving south on highway 34 when a car passed us on the right. This was stupid, because highway 34 is only a 2 lane road and to pass on the right means to be on the dirt and gravel shoulder. So the driver lost control of the car goes across the road and up and over some railroad tracks and ends up flipping the car! Amazingly the driver walks out and says that he is fine. Obviously he wasn't. He was taken away in an ambulance. Here is a picture of his car.

Fire in Eagle Mouintain

Here are some pictures that I took of the fire that has been going on the past two days in Eagle Mountain / Saratoga Springs, Utah.  Some of the are a little blurry, despite using a tripod, because the wind was blowing.

 These are just pictures of the starry Sky, in Eagle Mountain, One of the reasons we love living out here. We can actually see more that just the north star!!! :)

Starry Sky through to top of the community Pergola.

You can see the fire between these houses. The shot didn't come out like we wanted but I thought it was pretty cool anyway.

Joshua's 7th Birthday

Yesterday we had a party for Joshua. It was his 7th birthday! We rented a bounce house and barbequed hot dogs. He had lots of friends come over to join the fun. Joshua was really excited to have the party. Thank you to all those who came. We missed those of you who were unable to come but felt your well wishes all day. We hope that you enjoy these pictures.

Joshua loved his rocket from his Uncle Jake.

Joshua was very excited about the pool that Auntie Alayna got him.

Chelsea and I wanted to give Joshua a chapter book to read over the summer. We thought Capetian Underpants would be fun.

Josh has been wearing his Darth Vader mask from Sergio and Carson all weekend.

The Hillary's gave Joshua this really cool crossover Transformer that turns into a Clone trooper from Star Wars. He has been playing with this all weekend while wearing his Darth Vader mask.

Grandpa Mark Jennings Got this neat Operation R2-D2 game. Right after the party Joshua was ready to play.

Grandma and Grandpa Mickelsen got Joshua a bunch of new clothes that he can't wait to wear and this cool coloring book.

We made foam light sabers for the kids to take home from pool noodles and duct tape. That is what you can see the kids playing with in the bounce house.
