So yesterday was a crazy day. Jared had just gotten out of the shower when the knob to turn the water on/off exploded. Then the water came gushing out, just as if it were coming out of a fire hydrant. And I am not exaggerating, we have excellent water pressure! I was downstairs and I heard Jared yelling for me. After seeing that the bathroom was being flooded, I ran to the basement to switch the water off. Thankfully we had previously located this switch when we moved in in case of emergencies just like this. In only a matter of seconds the water had not only soaked our bathroom but had leaked in between the shower walls and went downstairs to the bathroom on the main floor and all the ways to the basement. That drain in our cement basement is so useful! Haha. Anyways, we don't know anything about plumbing, so we called our great neighbor, Boyd, who came right over to help us out. He discovered that the gasket and a metal ring inside the shower knob had broke. After a trip with us to the hardware store he fixed our shower knob. We are SOOO grateful for him! Oh, and just a plug for food storage...we were without water for about an hour and Jared really wanted to brush his teeth. I was so pleased to bring him a gallon of water from our food storage! You never know when you might need something!
This last weekend we had tons of fun with Mom, Dad, Jake, Rachel, Jax, and Bridger. Sorry family this is pretty much a repeat from Rachel's blog since I took most of the pictures from her blog. I'm not even going to try to put cute captions under the pics like she did because they were so good.

You have to watch this video. Jaxon was so into cycling on the Wii. He got a little mad when he was losing. Thanks for coming family! We miss you big time already.
