car accident #2


on the way to uncle's house for our usual sunday dinner a car was speeding on the freeway and hit the car in front of her and lost control of her car.  she then hit us on the side of our car... luckily jeff was able to control our car and keep us from rolling over.  the side airbags went off and our car filled with smoke so it was difficult to see.  we were freaked out but not hurt bad. A few weeks later we finally got the police report and found out that the girl was drunk and on a suspended drivers license.  can't believe this poor car got in a second bad accident in 3 years....


it was pretty amazing to see that the air bag ripped open the leather in our car.  my arm got a really big bruise from it but i survived!!!







tow truck came to take it to be fixed.  it was easy this time cause we knew where to take it...


sad to see you go....



4 weeks later our car was fixed and looked as good as new again... it never felt the same again and we ordered a new one.  after having a white car for over 20 years we needed a change of luck and color so our new car is black.  it feels strange to have a black car but we are getting used to it and of course we love it!!!

our hummingbird nest-2nd year

Surprise!!!  hope to get this blog back up to date in the next few weeks.  thanks to those of you who are still interested in keeping up with us!!! we have a crazy life but we love it...





we were so happy to see that the hummingbird nest that we had last year was used again this year!!! they are so cute and we love watching them grow up.  hope they come back again...
