For Father's Day weekend we went out to Overton and went to Lake Mead and hung out with Gramma Great. This was O's first trip to the lake and I was nervous. I get anxious about lake trips without my baby there so I was extra anxious, but there was no need and once there I wasn't nervous at all. O did fantastic! He loved the water and the boat; he didn't like his life jacket, but he got used to it and didn't bother with it after the first few minutes. Now there is no proof outside the witnesses who where there, but I had my absolute best wake boarding runs of my life this trip. I really enjoyed being on the board instead of scared I might die. :) I will say that 3 years between wake boarding tries is far too long and I sure felt it the next few days. I still feel the effects. Well worth it though; it was so fun and to watch O enjoy everything so much. Every time the boat stopped he wanted in the water. We definitely have a water baby on our hands.

The trip ran into naptime so every time the boat would start moving he would fall asleep. It cracked me up :)
Father's Day was pretty laid back. My sweat Grandma did the cooking and we were able to just enjoy eachother's company and relax. It was a great weekend!
Monday we had a Father's Day/birthday for my dad and had my sister's yummy chicken tacos. We had fun being with more family. The real excitement came on the drive home when I was rear-ended on I-15, one of the scariest moments of my life! I have only been in one accident before and I was not driving and we were stopped at a red light. This one was on a busy freeway and I had anticipation as I heard and saw that car coming. Basically cars were stopping in my lane due to a truck whose tire was flat in the middle of the freeway so I stopped and the car behind me was not able to stop fast enough. I don't know how fast he was going when he hit me, but I heard the tires screech for 3-5seconds before the collision so maybe 40mph or something in that range so not too bad but definitely more than a bump. I was soo shakey and I'm pretty sure I was in shock. I didn't get home until 11:30, but couldn't go to sleep until about 2. It was nuts! The worst part I think was waiting for the firemen to come stop traffic so I could get over to the shoulder. I was so afraid another car wouldn't notice we were stopped and plow into the line up. My car stopped too close to the flat tire car so I couldn't move without backing up and traffic just continued to zoom by on both sides, longest 5-8min of my life, well maybe not my life, but it was a long few minutes. The damage doesn't look too bad but we haven't had it looked at yet and I am feeling pretty well. I'm a bit nervous to drive on freeways and today I kept forgetting words; my bro-in-law said I could possibly have a very mild concussion and he gave me a few exercises for whiplash so hopefully I wont be too sore. It's funny I can't really tell if my soreness today is lingering from wake boarding or the accident. I'm going to tell myself it's from wake boarding. That is better for my psyche because I had fun doing that so the soreness would be worth it. :) Life is certainly eventful!
