At least no one was hurt....

Yesturday we had a few firsts....
First car accident Alivia was in....
First car accident my little brother was in while he was driving (not his fault though)....
And first accident for Mitch's new truck....

Justin, my little brother, likes to play pranks on me. I had him run to my house to get me something I forgot and Alivia wanted to go. Being lazy I didn't want to change out the carseat so I had him take Mitch's new truck. When he called me and said someone just hit me --I totally blew it off and told him to quit joking around. He kept trying to convince me it wasn't a joke, I could tell towards the end of our bantering that he wasn't letting up and he really had been in a wreck. Alivia got on the phone and said that man hit us. I asked her if she was ok and she said yes.. then I asked if she scared and she said "I'm not scared I'm a big girl." So I told him to hold on and jumped in his car to head down the hill and check it out.
I kept trying to call Mitch nervous about what to say since I let Justin take his new truck and it had now been hit. When I finally did get ahold of him he had just pulled up to the accident just by chance. Justin said he prayed silently Mitch wouldn't be mad...Mitch wasn't. He told Justin thanks..he needed a new bumper.
As we pulled up to the gas station where they had moved there cars too I got Alivia out and the other guy driving felt even worse cause he didn't know there was a baby in the car. He told her he was sooo sorry and she said "It's ok", Then when he found out we had only bought the truck 4 weeks ago he really felt bad. He was on his way home from a funeral and he said his dress shoes slipped on the brake. Justin says he saw him coming and knew he wasn't stopping. Either way it was an accident and no one was hurt.

Here are the pictures of the minor damage (I say minor because it really only messed up the bumper) He was driving a ford power stroke so you can see the bugs from his bug guard on Mitch's tail gait.
Here is where the extent of the damage was....

Mitch is kind of bummed he will have to get a new plate. The snowmobile plates aren't cheap.But he was very excited to get a new hitch.

Double Trouble

Well these two kids like to make messes. It seems like every time Carter and Alivia are together they make paint (out of lotions and other stuff) they make mud (out of bubbles and dirt) they just like to make messes. And this time they decided to fix Austins hair (with mom's hair gel and some lotion)...
