I am truly Thankful!!!!


My cute dad was in a horrible accident last night!! My family and I had just visited and we were on our way back to Utah County. My dad decided to go and visit with a friend, Jerry Larsen, up the canyon. My dad ended up getting stuck in the snow, so he asked Jerry if he could pull him out. Jerry hooked up his bob cat and pulled my dad up to the canyon road. My dad said that he got out of the car to thank Jerry and a truck came at them striking the bobcat, sending it about 15-20 feet. Jerry was hit and flew with the bob cat and my dad went in another direction (At this point my dad said he thought he was dead) My dad went searching for Jerry and found him under the bob cat. My dad had to dig him out of the snow and then pulled him out from under the tractor. He then had the driver of the Truck call 911 and they got Jerry to the hospital. Everyone is okay, but so scary. I am truly grateful everyone is okay and that my dad is alive. My dad is the cutest man ever that keeps us all laughing and having a good time. I don't know what I would do without him. He is the best grandpa ever and We all love him to death!!!

As my littlest one would say. . .
"Whew, Close One!"
Holy Smokin cow that headline scared me. I haven't seen you Dad in ages and that made my heart stop. Bless you all to be safe!

Oh my word Amber. I had no idea that happened. I am so glad everyone is ok. We love him so much. Ammon came up to me the other day and said "hey mom, I am uncle Boomer" He also said "I love to ride BJ" Your dad has made such an impact on his life. He loves him.
