Six and counting

Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ralph



Will's cousin Ammon (my age) and his son, Landon (4 years old) were in a really bad car wreck last week. They are both still in a coma with lung damage as well as brain issues. We don't know if Landon will make it and we don't know if Ammon will wake up from him coma. If they do pull through, then we don't know how their mental state will be. Of course, they have broken bones and cuts etc. but the scary parts are the brain and the lungs. We would love for you to all remember them in your prayers. With this bad news, I have found a silver liner. The Blevins family is AMAMZING! The support they have shown Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ralph is unreal. There is always someone at the hospital with them (usually 10 people) and many have even spent the night with them. I Have been there almost every day but Will has been there every chance he has had. He has also spent the night and held their hands the whole time. How cohesive they are is such a great reminder to me of how families are suppose to be. It makes me try to do be better and be more supportive. Also, it is amazing how they are on the brink of death and yet, I have so much hope. It is amazing how hope pulls you through when science says otherwise. Regardless of what will happen in the end, it has been such an amazing experience (not that I want anyone to go through it) that I am glad that I have had the opportunity to learn these lessons on family. I love this family and couldn't have gotten a better one. Well, I did with the one I was born into but I couldn't have married into a better one. I have learned alot with them about support (physical not just "thinking aobut them"). The old adage "The smallest deed is greater than the greatest intention" really rings true.
Happy Thanksgiving to all

We were bombarded with Lady bugs this year. THey were everywhere! Someone told me that they were a sign of luck. If so, good things had better happen to us because we had so many we would have been happy to share!

Cole is finally 2! Everyone guesses 3 going on 4 but no, he is still my baby...he always will be I think. My cake sucked but that is okay because I really just threw it together because I didn't really have time. It did taste good though. Cole wanted the cup cakes I made though because I put cars on them. What else matters besides cars? We had the party at the hospital waiting room and we got in trouble with the balloons. They kept popping becuase they really sucked not because the kids were so wild. But he had a great time and he was surrounded by family. Happy Birthday Cole and thank you for choosing me as your mom.

This year was a beautiful year full of colors. I did take a few pictures but nothing that did justice. Everytime I went outside, I would just stare in amazement at the brilliant colors. Looking at the mountains looked like a bowl of fruity pebbles. I am excited for next fall!

I haven't been slacking on my blogging, I just got rid of the internet. I am at my inlaws posting. So, I will post speratically. What is new with us? Well, I am watching one of the people in my wards kids now. That is a blessing for us. With the economy sinking, I have lost most of my house cleaning business. I guess a clean house is not their priorities J/k. I don't blame them. We cut costs too (internet and gym). What do you do? Just keep on keeping on. It is nice though because the Lord has always made a way for me to help out and stay with my children. That is a huge blessing to us. So for now, I won't have any pictures or great adventures to tell about. I may just make them up for you though.

Well, we busted. The kids were sick. Sage had a croupy cough. Also, Will got stranded at work because his motorcycle stopped working so we didn't even get home until 6 from work. I made my costume but never got a chance to put it on. Oh well, at least the kids are young and don't realize they missed out on anything. I was bummed but okay because at least Sage didn't get any worse. Being the die hard I am, I probably would have drug her out in the cold and made her tough it out if Will's cycle hadn't intervened. Thanks for small miracles?! Happy Halloween to all though and I hope you had a haunting time.
