a mini heart attack

So yesterday-
I was driving in a subdivision almost home ( 1 minute away) Mara and I were singing and dancing listening to Radio Disney( which we do way to often)
well as I was dancing and singing away I noticed that there was two cops parked on the side of the road, I looked down at my speedometer out of habit, it said I was going 31 mph which really means 28 mph (cars are set to show you going 2-3 mph faster than you really are going)

I knew I wasn't really speeding because I NEVER speed in neighborhoods, too many kids and animals are out well as I passed them, I was still in my dancing mode. I heard a little "roop" from the cop's car and then he pulled out and flipped on his lights... are you kidding me, I am getting pulled over!!

He walked up to my car and asked for License, registration, insurance- ya know the lovely drill...

well as I was getting my stuff out I said" I didn't think I was speeding" he said " well you were going 31 in a residential zone, I usually do not pull people over for 6 over the speed limit but as you passed me you were being a smart mouth" yes me dancing was me being a smart mouth... hehe
well I told him that I was dancing with my daughter. he walked back to his car and started pulling up my info... lovely!

he walked back up to me and told me that because of my good driving record that he was just going to give me a warning. oh THANK YOU!!!

well he then proceeded in telling me that a couple weeks ago two guys killed themselves by driving 102 mph on this road and crashed into a cement wall.


he then told me to slow down especially when I have my little kiddos in the car...

lesson for the day do not dance and sing in the car, a cop may think you are smarting off at them:) and I guess do not speed!!!


*** the thing is that a couple weeks ago I remember hearing something really load outside @ 12:30 or so, so I went outside and sat out there until I saw a helicopter take off, I had called Jonah to ask him about it, and we decided that it could have been life flight- and sure enough it was--- we live out by airport 2 so helicopters and airplanes flying over head are not that uncommon, we have Nat'l guard doing their night training all of the time****

So two weeks ago Jonah did a shift trade with another guy at work, sooo the entire weekend we had him !!! Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!!!!!

On Sunday, February 1st ( SuperBowl) Jonah and I took the kids sledding. we drove up to Big Cottonwood Canyon. Mara had a great time.


Jackson and I spent most of the time in the car cause Jackson was not having much fun in the snow and cold!!!
Jackson did go down the hill with Jonah once ( he didn't like it much, he got snow in his face)
