Just our luck!

Tyler and I don't speed that often... and if we do, it's usually not over 5 mph.

Do you see where this is going?

Tyler took a van full of boys over to Nauvoo yesterday for an activity. He was pulled over for going 10 over and he was slapped with a $110 speeding ticket. (The speed limit is 60 mph practically the whole way over there.) I told Tyler he should take it out of the Young Men's budget! :) If not being pulled over on the way to a church activity with all the boys was hard enough (and getting a good tongue-licking from his wife) well than... the story gets better.

Tyler had meetings in the morning before church, so I got the kids out the door. We travel by a university where the speed limit is 20 mph! I was just minding my own business not really thinking that a cop would be out to get someone on a Sunday morning, especially when school isn't even in session, BUT, of course, I get pulled over for going over 30 mph. Oops! I also didn't have my license with me... something I always forget on Sunday. Well, I went away with just a warning. Whew..... I was a little humbled, since I gave Tyler a hard time the night before. I think we both learned our lessons!

Tyler thinks cops are out to get the men since he got a ticket and I didn't!

Wow, that's an expensive ticket! I'm sorry! I'm glad you got out of yours though!

I am glad you didn't get a ticket too. That would be one expensive weekend. Cops are always more after men than women.

I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas, and those dang cops they can just ruin your whole day can't they. Jordan is getting so big! and Makenzie is so dang cute! It's good to see your sweet family is doing well! Hope the pregnancy gets better!

Traffic tickets are the worst! I'm so glad that you didn't get one, though.

That's funny, we were driving home from somewhere last week and we saw a cop pulling someone over. We both were thinking, hey, there really are police here in MO. We never see them! Sorry you guys encountered TWO in one weekend!

Dave got pulled over on the way home from Nauvoo, but I was with him and 8 months pregnant, so maybe that's why he didn't get a ticket. I say definately take it out of the budget. It was probably the rowdy boys in the back that got Tyler one.

IT was a fun story to read but not so fun to experience I'll bet. You guys look great! Miss you.

That totally stinks. You gotta love all of the super slow speed limits around here.
