The car accident...

So almost a few weeks ago, Cohen and I were in a car accident. It was the craziest thing. We were driving on 11800 S. just a few streets away from my parents. Cohen, Lincoln, and I were driving home to pick up Matt. Cohen was a little upset about something so I reached back to rub his leg, and the next second I was in the back of another car. Just a few seconds before I didn't even see any cars near us.  It was so surreal.  I thought the 3 car pile up was my fault, but I guess the car I hit had slammed on its brakes and barely hit the car in front of them so when I hit them they hit the car in front of them even harder. This was such a crazy out of body experience, it all felt so slow motion. I finally came back to real life when Cohen started to cry, because his head hurt. His car-seat straps broke and he hit his head on the seat in front of him. In the end we went to the hospital and all 4 of us were okay (Me, baby girl, Cohen, and Lincoln). It was very scary. Our car was totaled. The cost of repairs exceeded the worth of the car. In hind site it was a blessing because Matt and I owed more on the car then it was worth and we would have had 3 more years of expensive payments. We since bought a new (used) car with cash, and love it!

The reason I am telling everyone who reads this, this whole story is because I use blogging as my journal. Anyway I am posting a few pictures, for memory.

Cohen and I probably 20 min after the accident.

This is a picture of my car and the red car I hit, it doen't show the car that the red car hit. 

This was our car at the impound lot.

Cohen ended up with a pretty good black eye after this that lasted about a week. I don't know if anyone got a picture of it though.

Me at the hospital waiting to find out if our little girl was okay, which she was.

A few things (funny and sweet) Cohen said after the accident happened.

Cohen,"mom you are supposed to go around the car not through it."

My sister was driving us around since we didn't have a car and his cousin Broc asked, "Cohen how did you get that black eye?" Cohen, "my Uncle Donny put special oil on my head to make me feel all better."  So cute, because he remember something so special. 

Cohen, "I love my new car seat, it has a cup holder."
