The day after Braxtens Birthday we found out that our neighbors (Curtis and Tami Andersen) that live 2 houses down were in a car accident in the canyon and were both killed and so was a little 9 year old friend (Hanna Roach). Both of their kids some how survived, the little girl Kylee (who is BrynLee's age and they always play together) was life fighted to Primay Childrens with a broken ankle, broken femer, broken wrist, bruised ribs and a small crack in her skull. She had surgery that night and is in a body cast from the waist down. Her little brother Jaxon was taken to Brigham City Hospital but came away with just scrapes and bruises. It was really hard because we found out about all of this right after Alex's Baptism and by the time we got home it seemed like everyone already knew about it.
After we were home for an hour or so we saw the Channel 2 News truck outside Curtis and Tami's house. I was so mad I didn't want them taping their house and then going and bugging their family with questions "hello they just lost their kids the day before and just became parents of a 5 and 2 year old over night). But Ty Perry (the reporter) came down and said we just want people to know what kind of people they were and we don't want to bother the family at this time so Josh and our neighbor Shelly talked to him and were on the 10 news.
It has been really weird trying to grasp this whole thing of, you can be here one minute and gone the next. It's not like we didn't already know that but when it happens so close to home it makes you look at things a little differtly, and hold your kids a little tighter.
