A Corn Maze, not so Amazing!

This weekend was quite fun. We went to Logan to celebrate my niece's first birthday.
We spent the day at American West Heritage Center with all the fall festivities. There was so much to do, I don't even think we did it all. Everyone had a great time, for the most part.

But I really did not want to do the Cornmaze, alas, I was talked into it.
Brian really wanted to go so I conceeded, everyone was tired, and hungry, that only compounded it for us.
I don't mean to be a bad sport, But I don't like the feeling of being lost. That is how I felt the first time I did a corn maze and I felt the same way the second time. I really tried not to complain, but I was hungry, tired and thirsty...One should not top that off with the frustration of a never ending maze.
After wandering for what seemed to be an eternity we saw the road, and cut through the corn. We did not find our way through the Maze, never finished it. What can I say?
I am a grown woman and in this situation I felt like screaming, I did not scream. I tried not so say much, I didn't want my kids to hear my frustration, though I am sure they did.
I know there are some who like corn mazes...I am not one of those.
I love fall and pumpkins, the falling leaves, the chilly days and the warm soups. BUT I DON'T LIKE BEING LOST. I don't understand how that is fun.
Come to think of it, I never really like hide and seek as a kid. I guess I am kind of strange that way.

Anyway, Happy Fall to you all.
I hope you enjoy it before the SNOW covers us all.

The many events of our lives.

THIS HAS BEEN ONE CRAZY MONTH.

OWEN'S ORDEAL!
HOLD YOUR FAMILY TIGHTER TODAY!

The day before Madi's birthday I had a horrible incident that landed my little Owen in the Hospital. He started chocking on a cracker and stopped breathing and went unconscious, I did all I could and called 911. He started breathing while I was on the phone with the operator. When the paramedics arrived he was breathing but was very lethargic and weak. His breathing was labored and the rushed him to the ER. When I arrived at the ER he was stable but was not responsive to anything around him. I found out that he had had a seizure in route to the hospital.
They had given him medication to avoid another seizure, and it had also made him very sedated.
I was in shock, and overcome with emotion, My baby was hooked up to all sorts of wires and lights. As the meds started to wear off he was not as responsive as they needed him to be and felt it necessary to take him to primary children's hospital where they were better equipped to handle any situation that may occur concerning Owen. I rode down with him in the ambulance. We stayed overnight to make sure that he would be okay. Everything was Okay. By morning he was trying to get all the wires off of him and wanted to get going.
He was happy and playing with the nurses. He is home and is getting into as much trouble as before. I am so glad that he is still with us.
While all of this was happening I was indeed being cared for by many people. Brian was out of town so my in-laws came up to be with me ,while my girls were at a very gracious friend's house.
The ward has received word of this ordeal and began to pray for my little baby's life.
I have never seen or heard of so many people who loved my family and were anxious to help and pray for us. That is what a ward family is all about. How grateful I am to be apart of something so wonderful. I knew that God was indeed aware of me and my needs. He comforted me and kept me strong during this time. I know He loves me.
I do need to add that a week before this my husband was in an accident that he was very lucky to have come from unharmed. In a matter of a week I had come close to loosing my son and my husband. I am so blessed to have had both of their lives spared.

Hug your family tighter and love them more today! I know that I do I see now how precious each moment is. I have seen the mercies of God on my family and I am grateful for them.

NOW to move another direction....I know, how do I continue from here?
The truth is I had planned to put these pictures here a while ago.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE!

MADI TURNED 6 YEARS OLD
I have been holding onto a Madeline Doll since she was only a baby.
Now that she is old enough to appreciate the meaning of it, I gave her the doll.
We also had a Madeline hat cake and she got Madeline books. She really likes her doll and has been very excited about it.

MY KIDS EATING STUFF!

Owen and Spaghetti (don't we all have a picture of this!)

Nori and the Sucker!

Yes that is exactly what it looks like:
Nori is eating a sucker with a scorpion in it. (EWWWW!)

Brian brought it home from El Paso Texas to show the girl's!

It was banana flavored and the scorpion was not poisonous any longer!

Madi and I were beside ourselves, it really gave me the creeps.

Before: After:
Owen Got a real big boy hair cut.

Apparently, Owen is going to be a tech guy. (Yes, He got up there by himself.)

THE LIFE OF OUR DEAR SQUASH BOTTLE ROCK!

This is Squash Bottle Rock. Yes, this squash has a name. This squash was adopted one Sunday out of a box in the hall way at church by Nori. She selected it and was holding it like a baby. I told her to rock it and she did. I asked her what its name was and she said "Squash bottle rock".

For the following reasons: 1- It is a squash. 2- it is shaped like a bottle. 3-I asked her to rock it.

After a few days with our new addition Nori asked if we could eat it. (I know, cannibalistic! I thought so too.) So we did. Here is the pictures of the short life of our dear Squash Bottle Rock.
How we loved you so. He was tasty too.
