God Is with us every day!

This was a very interesting and eventful weekend for my little family. My father in law Reid has been talking to our cousins boyfriend Jake about how much fun it would be to go up to the Olympic Park in Park City. That is were Jake works on the Bob Sleds. He takes care of the track and drives the sleds down so that people can experience it. Russ and I wanted to go so I got a baby sitter for Rachael and thought that the park has a lot to do so we took the boys.

So Saturday morning we head up to the park to enjoy the beautiful day. We picked up Jake and his son Benjamin. On our way we found out that Reid, Andy and the boys had just left and that it would take them about an hour to get up to us. So we took everyone to Wendy's to have lunch. It was so nice to sit down and finally talk to Jake. He has been around for the last year or so but we only ever see each other at family events. So we talked about life and having kids and how very interesting they can be. Because my two boys thought it would be fun to make a castle out of lunch. Collin started to put his fries into his frosty. Kaleb thought it looked like so much fun and wanting to one up his brother put his chicken nuggets in his frosty. He ate every nugget and had a good time I just didn't watch him eat it.

Reid called and we finished out drive up to the Bob sled run. We did our intro video and sign our if you die its not our fault papers. The boys liked trying on every helmet in the place and we headed out to wait in line. The boys loved watching every sled go down and Kaleb kept asking if he could go down as well. The Bob sled rules are you must be 14 to ride. But Kaleb didn't care he kept asking if he go to go down with us. Collin, Kaleb and Danny my nephew thought it looked like a blast to push the sleds down the track. So when we go to the front of the line they asked if they could help push.

The crew members said that it was OK and I thought to myself how cute. So the boys and Russ lined up behind the sled they call the big banana and off they went. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't have my camera out to take a picture of how cute the boys were. Everyone kept saying how fun and cute it was until.

The sled starting moving to fast for the boys. Collin and Danny let go but Kaleb wanted to keep running with his daddy. The last thing I saw was Russ pushing off and Kaleb still hanging on. Kaleb's little legs just kept right along with the fast moving sled. I was yelling "Let go, let go" and his little legs flew up in the air and he was still holding onto the back of the sled. Andy was running after the sled as fast as he could. I think it helped he just finished the Police academy. He said later that all he could hear was my blood curdling scream as he took off running.

All of a sudden Kaleb was gone from my sight. I have never felt so helpless, scared and out of my body as I did in that moment. I just stood there in shock thinking Oh my god. I don't remember ever saying a prayer so fast in my life. As I looked down the track just dumb founded Andy was on his way back with Kaleb in his arms. I could see that he was crying and alert. But I felt like I couldn't move to run to his side. Every breath was like an hour in time. Russ took Kaleb in his arms and that was went I could see his face. The left side of his face was covered in road rash. So I finally calmed down enough to grab my camera and take some pictures.

A mom that was standing in line gave Kaleb a sucker to help calm him down.

It didn't work.

This is the after picture with his sled.

We took him to the doctor to have him checked out. Kaleb was starting to get back to his old self. He was waiting for his X-ray on his neck he looked at as and said "I almost made it to the finish line." I just laughed because it was out of no where.

He is doing very well and his face is looking much better. Thank you everyone for your support.
