Coolest, Funniest and Saddest Thing I've Ever Seen

This lady is amazing~ It's hilarious how I've heard all of these things from my own mother, and it's SOOOO SADDDD because I've only been a mom for 4 years now and I've probably said more than half of these mom phrases already!!!!! Should I laugh or cry??????

Im a Twilight Geek-Skip this post if you're not!

Okay, so I don't know what it is about Stephenie Meyer and her amazing talent to make me fall so in love with something not real. But-it's happened. And now to make things worse-the movie came out. I had NO hopes of it, and almost refused to see it because of Edward. But, actually the first time I saw it, I really liked it. I really like the cast and the music and felt like they did a great job making it. (not perfect---but honestly did you really expect it to be--it can't). Anyways, I saw it again....and IM LIKE IN LOVE with the movie. I keep finding myself craving to see it again, and it just has sparked a whole new level of this Edward and Bella thing for me. I feel like I need to talk to a shrink because I SOOOO want it to be real and I want my husband to be a vampire and say things like...."Do you know how long I have waited for you"....and I want my new in-laws to all be vampires and to totally protect me...and I want someone to come after me so that my husband can fight them off with his steaming hot muscles (because oh yes, Edward, he does have those- where in the movie you are definitely lacking) and I want it to be dangerous to kiss----cause I mean come on, can you imagine how FUN that would be!!!!!!!
Can someone please talk to me about this............i think my mom and sisters are sick of me talking about it, and well Brian, he's just REALLY confused, because I keep explaining it to him little bits at a time....and the whole Vampire, vegetarian, thing just isn't really grabbing his attention. I feel like this is a new drug for me.......and I would really appreciate some empathy and some Twilight Geek friends. I'm kinda scared to admit I'm going to see it again tomorrow with my mom----I want to see it as much as I can in the theater......anyone want to go with me? Or just talk to me about it??? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Im Thankful for........

Im so thankful for my family! So thankful that I could be here with my family!!! I'm so thankful for my husband and kids and for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, and of course for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and for this world we live in and for mountains, and friends, and Edward & Bella, and the movie Twilight, and for horses, and Julie's new photography blog....julieburtonphotography.blogspot.com......she's amazing!!! And she's making me write this post because supposedly I never update my blog. WHATEVER!!!!!!!

OCTOBER IN REVIEW---THIS ONE COUNTS!

Let's see this month we were busy!

Aislee turned FOUR! She has been so excited for her birthday this year, and she got a special present from the Disney Princesses, they sent her an ivitation to Disneyland!!! So she got to go see them and have them sign her book again this year! SOOOO FUN! And Terri, I feel the same way about Disney...I used to think I would NEVER be such a Disney Geek, but it's a whole different story when you take your kids they and everything becomes so magical and real! I LOVE IT!

We also went to the beach and saw dolphins!!!!! It was so pretty and my kids loved it, and the weather was AMAZING!

We got to see our friends Aaron, Camille, Ellie, Chloe, and Sydnie while we were in California. They moved there from PA the same time as us. Aislee loved seeing familiar faces, and really enjoyed being with her friends!!! SO DID WE!

We've also just been enjoying the nice weather, going on lots of walks and we even tried to go on a nature hike and collect fall leaves....and remembered we live in a desert......but we are loving St. George!!!

I'm Thankful for Second Chances

A few weeks ago I was reading on my sister Julie's blog about other blogs she has found where parents have lost their little ones. I decided to read about little Ava Rosemeyer, it was so sad to read, but I really was reminded how precious every moment with our little children are. That night I had a nightmare about my little Easton. I dreamed he touched poisened playdough (crazy, I know) but he died and I felt those emotions so strongly. I was so angry, and I wanted just to hold him one more time, and I wanted to start the day over and have another chance. I was so relieved to wake up and know that I still had both my children to hold and let play in Jello Pudding and not worry about the mess.
A couple nights ago, we were blessed to have a second chance. It was my first experience with a child in the Emergency Room. Ive always been so afraid for this moment, and I hope to never have one like it again. I was at Enrichment and Brian had the kids. He was giving them a bath, and Easton went under the water. He took a big gulp of water, Brian saw him, and pulled him out. He threw up a ton of water, but couldnt breathe very well. After 10 missed calls, they finally got a hold of me, and I met Brian at the ER. Easton's oxygen was really low. They said we were lucky Brian brought him in. We had just heard a story about a boy who dry drowned...where he died after swimming because he had too much water in his lungs and not enough oxygen. I think that helped Brian realize the seriousness of this near-drowning episode. We were there for a while that night, they kept him hooked up to monitors and gave him oxygen to make sure he was going to keep getting better. Xrays showed the lungs looked okay. The doctor explained to us that a lot of times in near-drowning patients you think they are okay and then they'll get worse. So, I hope all you mothers and fathers out there learn something from my experience.....even going under water once can take away your whole life.
I am so thankful Brian was there......that he saved Easton, and that he knew to take him to the hospital. And I'm so thankful Easton was strong enough to get better. I'm so thankful to have a second chance at Easton's life. I'm so thankful!
