and having a blast with silly string!
Aunt Raegan was helping Brody with his silly string)...
and Carly & Brody enjoyed a ride on Uncle Joeys "new wheels".
Brody loved making the "vrrrm vrrrm" sound & I guess Carly is thinking Brody is her puppy?
This is just before the ending of a good day! Note: Jamie's car in the background
Jamie & I were getting ready to take the kids on the quads for a quick slow ride around the block. I had Brody on the quad with me. We needed to back up the quads (out of the drive way). Jamie's car was blocking part of the drive way. I told Jim and Jamie I wasn't comfortable backing the quad up. They both reassured me that I had plenty of room (which looking later, I did). I started up the quad (which accidently had been left in reverse) & the quad started rolling back so I put on the brake. In an instant, Brody & I went flying backwards & slammed right into the side of Jamie's car!! Unknowingly, Brody's hand was on the gas (full throttle) & with all the power I had I couldn't brake hard enough to stop us! I seriously need to start lifting weights or something...Brody's 3 yr old muscles were obviously stronger than my 53 yr old muscles! Yes, I did damage to Jamie's car & the quad!! After the initial shock, we all realized how fortunate we all really were & very thankful that Jamie's car was there to block us. It makes me ill to think that Carly could have been standing right behind us. Thank goodness Jim & Jamie didn't have enough time to react & try to stop us. They could have been crushed between the quad and car. All the terrible scenarios kept me awake that night and have consumed my thoughts. We are so so lucky!!!! We definately learned alot of lessons from this experience!!
Time to find a good auto body shop...
