My sister Doranda, her husband Bob and their baby boy Tucker came to visit for a couple of days. They are on their way to a job interview in Western Washington. We were so excited to have them here. Luckily we had great weather, we went out to eat, played games, went for a walk to the park. On Friday we had such a good time visiting, the kids came home from school and we were still in our PJ's. I don't think I have ever done that before.
While they were gone, the rest of us went with Grandma Bev's to the famous Neptunes net. We saw a whale on the way. On the way home, Dallen and Evan got out to play on the beach. Evan was burried by a huge wave and had to drive home in his underwear. When I did laundry, I found lots of sand in his jeans pockets. 
When we got back we all went swimming, except for Jarom and Steve. They went for a drive in his side by side (it is like a small jeep). While we were swimming, we got a phone call. It was Steve saying they had been in an accident and needed to go to the hospital. Gina took of to get them, and Jim and I got the kids out of the pool and situated. Then met them at the hospital. It turns out they were on a steep mountain. They turned wrong and ended up going flipping the vehicle all the way down the hill, 30 times. Jarom was fortunate. He just ended up really bruised and sore. He injured his foot pretty bad, he had to have it wrapped and be on crutches. Steve on the other hand, had 3 broken ribs, a bruised lung, he almost lost an ear (luckily they were able to sew it back on), his elbow had to be stitched, and he was very scratched and bruised up. We are lucky they are alive. Even know we hated to spend our last night in the hospital, we are counting our blessings this day.
swimming and then had a B-B-Q. Jim's cousin Matt Goodson, his wife Wendy and their children came over. We hadn't seen them in a long time, so it was great. They hadn't changed at all, but their family was much bigger. Jim's dad and Gina made great food for the B-B-Q, that is their specialty! 
Then the kids worked for Steve picking up rocks out of the orchard. He pays really well! After that Gina (Jim's step mom), Amery and I went to get manicures, pedicures and out to lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. 
Can't get better than that. While we were gone there had been much excitement at the house. The boys were playing outside, trying to catch lizards. Ashton had gone to meet up with them. We think he must have been jumping around on the stones and didn't realize there was a 5 ft drop off into the pool. Anyway, Dallen, who had been playing quite a little ways away, heard a splash (I think it might have been Divine intervention), and ran up to the pool. He saw someone in the middle of the pool under the water. It took him a few seconds to realize it was Ashton, he immediately jumped in with his clothes on and put his arm under his arms, with his head up, just like a lifeguard, and swam him to the ledge. In the mean time, Evan ran up to get Jim. Jim ran down to the pool and jumped in (clothes, cell phone and everything). He got them out and all was well. Thanks to Dallen, he was truly a lifesaver!!
