Sad story

Okay, some of you already know this, but I wanted to post about it anyway. Brad went yesterday morning to play football. My sister and her husband that live in Provo were down for the weekend, so we were all sleeping over at my moms house. My brother Danny and brother in law Jon were going to go with Brad, but he got up and got ready and neither one of them really stirred, so he left without them. They got up a little later and went on their own. A few hours later Danny walked into the house and said, "Uh Liz, there's a problem. Brad got hurt and he doesn't remember anything." Surprisingly, I stayed pretty calm. I called our friend Jacob and got some details, then we took him to the hospital. I guess what happened is he went to tackle someone, and the kid tried to jump over Brad, and his knee knocked into Brad's jaw, and knocked him out. He was out for a few minutes. On the way to the hospital, he just kept asking the same questions over and over, because as soon as I would finish answering, he would forget. It was pretty scary. Now that it's all over, we can joke about it. We were laughing, telling him he was like 10 second Tom from 50 first dates. He remembered all of us, but he had no clue as to what had happened in the last month or so. He had a CT scan of his head, and they said it was a pretty bad concussion with some mild amnesia, but luckily no trama to his brain or internal bleeding. As of today, his memories are still kinda hazy, but things are starting to come back. He doesn't remember anything that happened yesterday, but the doctor said that was pretty normal- and that he might not ever remember it. I'm so greatful he's okay, and I know it could have been a lot worse. Needless to say, I don't think I'm going to let him go play ball for awhile:)

Brad's birthday




Brad's birthday was yesterday. He woke up and went to play paint ball- I was invited, but I'd rather not do something that will cause welts all over my body:) He had a lot of fun though, and can't wait to go again. Later on we went to rodizios grill. Yum!!! They have the best food, we had a lot of fun and Brad had a great day. Happy birthday babe! I love you!

Bear Lake

We had so much fun!!!










Here's Brad in the lake




Here we are at the entrance to the camp site where we stayed.












Brad and I had the chance last weekend to go up to bear lake. I had never been there, and Brad went quite a few years ago for scout camp, so we were excited to go. We left on Friday evening and planned to stay until Monday, but we got rained out, so ended up leaving on Sunday night. We had so much fun though, and are greatful we had the chance to go! It was nice to have some alone time with my hubbie:) We plan on going back there often.
