We headed back up to Ut mostly so we could look at getting a new car. Of course we enjoyed ourselves meanwhile. We did some shopping, hanging out with Dan and his new gf, and spending time with Shel. She even did some family photos for us which turned out spectacular! Here are the good ones, Kai was still in his sling, but took it off for pics.
Of course what are pictures without some silly ones...
one more funny one...
This was our best Grandparent shot!
Doing some 'Utah crafting' with Galena :)
We went to price and ended up buying a light blue 2006 Dodge Caravan minivan, it's awesome! 
The kids loved hanging with their cousins. We were blessed to be able to find a minivan, it was the only one there... We are all still healing, emotionally and physically. The kids talk about it almost everyday and we try to talk about our feelings. Here's one convo we had with Meili... 'Mom why did our car fall down? What did it trip over?' She said her toilet went out her window and there was screeching and beep beep sounds. She said, 'Mom you had blood dripping on your arm'. and that, 'our old car had bad wheels, our new car has good wheels so it will not fall down, right?' She said, 'lucky day we were buckled.' and that 'we must have hit an electric line' (reflector pole?) Kai said he was very scared but tried to be brave and not cry even though he wanted to. He said he just held on and when Tristan and Meili were crying he told them it was ok. He always buckles now and is very conscientious of his surroundings and making sure others buckle as well. They are processing it all in their own way. We all are...
