It's going to cost ya! J/K :)
Okay, this was so dang cute. I set the pool up for the kids and all the sudden I looked over to see my sons cute crack. Normally I think plumbers crack is NASTY but...with it being my little James I thought it was cute. :)
WOW!!! Where do I even start?!?
On Friday afternoon Brandon called me and told me we were going to dinner with some clients. I found a babysitter for the kids and off we went. Dinner was fantastic. We left a bit later than planned. Brandon was supposed to be at the Church at 5:30. We got there at 5:45. OOPS. Brandon talked me into taking him up the mountain to help with Trek. The whole time I was feeling bad because my sitter still had my kids. After we had been driving for a hour up the road I finally told Brandon we were going to have to flag someone down. We did but with our luck we only had like 5 minutes left until we were there. I drove off the mountain by myself. I was a little scared because I thought I was going to get a flat tire and have to change it myself. The good thing was I knew Brandon would be coming and I know how to change tires and so I knew I was safe. :)
I got home to find out that someone hit our landscaping and messed up our front yard. I was a little glad that we weren't home because my kids could have easily been outside playing. I am also glad for our retaining wall. If it weren't for it I would probably have a car in my family room. Okay, my first thought was I hope no one was hurt. Then the anger set in. We were victims of a hit and run. Brandon didn't get home until 10:00 pm from helping the Trek. I was just hoping that someone would stop by to let us know who the heck did this to our yard. No one ever came. This made Brandon and I even more mad. We of course didn't sleep very well that night. In the morning I called Metro so we could get a report written up so if you wanted then we could turn it into insurance. Low and behold when Metro showed up the neighbor from across the street walks over and says they have video of the people putting our wall back together and then them driving away. The officer went over and talked to them and then came and told us that he knew who it was and that he would go talk to them and be right back. As soon as he was outta sight I asked the neighbor if I could see the video. She let me and I of course knew who it was too. They happen to be in our ward. All in all I think we have it all worked out. It is just a pain in the butt having things like this happen.
Me driving off the mountain be myself. Isn't our valley pretty. Sorry these are bad photos.
Pictures don't do this justice. It was a lot worse in person. The picture on the left is the corner of our yard by our driveway. Yes it messed that corner up as well. Brandon is going to have to fix this part too. :(
You can't really tell from the pictures but, our flag stone steps are broken. What do ya do?!?
The color of Truck that hit our property. Also, proof that we actually had a cop at our house all day Saturday. I hope my neighbors don't think Brandon it beating me. J/K :)
Brandon trying to fix our yard so it looks kinda back to normal. We will fix it better when it cools off this fall.
Oh yeah, come to find out I did need a tire change. Saturday we went to take my car, had the kids all loaded in car seats and sure enough my tire was flat. We had to get the car seats out and put them in Brandon's car. What a pain when we were in a hurry. No worries, Brandon took it in first thing on Monday morning. The best thing that has happen in all of last week. They gave us a new tire even though the hole wasn't under warranty. It pays off being nice to the one in charge at Big O Tire. :) Sorry, no pictures of the flat. I was too mad by this point. I was sick of everything going wrong. I failed to mention more things that happened during the week but, I think I better keep it as short as possible.
Hope you all enjoyed this long post. Things are now looking better for us. The week is going great! :)
Before we went on our vacation we went and got our family pictures done. I am really not to thrilled with them but...they will have to do. This is what we ended up with.
I guess they will have to do. :)
