Someone once said that your kids will cause gray hair. Well, it is so true. I first want to apologize to my mom and dad for their gray hair which I am sure I caused. I totally expect Rebecca, Tara, Steven, Logan, Emma and Kevin to someday also apologize to me. Recent gray was cause when Tara stood in the door and said, "Dad, I totally didn't see your car parked in the driveway when I backed out of the garage." This would not have been so bad except that the car that she backed into was a truck and it belonged to LVMPD, my take home car for work. It was minor damage, nothing that baler twine and duct tape can't fix, however there is more to this story. Both Rebecca and Tara have now wrecked more cars that don't belong to them than both Ruth and I have our whole lives. And, Tara has now wrecked both the front and back of the PT Crusier. Again minor and the car still runs but the gray hair keeps coming.

You made me laugh out loud! What a great post. I miss you guys.
Jaron hit a giant dog in my car and did $1500 in damage, and Michael ripped the rear view mirror off of my Expedition backing it out of the garage!
($500) That is why we got them a piece of crap car to drive, but it always seems to happen when they have to drive my cars! The joys of parenthood!
Dad, I'm sorry I gave you gray hair :)
Diddo to Jaimie's post. I somehow managed to MAKE money on my accidents. Not sure how though! I got the message about Becca's blessing time we will try so so so hard to come. I wish we could see you in Roosevelt, but we are headed to SLC a week after and there is only so much travel the girls can handle. Just heard from Angie, she is back in St. George for the summer and then to AZ to live. There is lots of family in Southern Utah to visit if you want to stop on your way to Roosevelt!!!!!
OH this is funny, ha ha ha. But wait, my day will come when I've got driving kids. Suddenly not so funny.
