The accident

   On November 7 most of you all know what happened, I have not wanted to blog about the accident, But every year I print out a blog book and I can not make a book with out 1.) telling what happened and 2.)  explaining my complete love for my Heavenly Father. So here we go.... On 11/7/12 I had miracles happen. The night before our TV went out. I woke up and felt just crummy all day. When it was time to pick up Abigail I went to take the TV box back at the UPS store, on the way home I had a seizure and went unconscious while driving the car. Abigail and Harris were in the back seat and I drove into a home.... There is when all the miracles begin. If I had not had to drop off the TV box I would have came home while children were walking home from school, if I gone anywhere else it could have been much worse, the man whose home I hit had just left the part  of the house where the car drove threw,  I was rushed to the hospital but was only banged and bruised, and last but most importantly my children were both ok. ALL HUGE BLESSINGS!

   For the next few days following I was angry with Heavenly Father. I am going to be honest I was angry.  I try to do things just as Heavenly Father asks me. Why did my kids have to be in the car? Why did that have to happen? When will the trails my family face be enough?   I was so caught up in my frustration I did not see all the miracles. Then right before Thanksgiving Abigail"s Primary teacher came up to me and said in class they were talking about what they were grateful for. Abi's answer was that see was thankful for the men that took care of me, Harris, and Herself. When I heard that I melted.  For Thanksgiving as a family we made and decorated cookies for those firefighters and paramedics. I called ahead and made sure it was the exact men on duty. As we drove up I felt very thankful and a little sad that my sweet Abigail was the first to see the blessings in all this. I felt very thankful for her and for her sweet and kind spirit. The Fireman Justin in the pic was the one that drove with me and took great care of me in the ambulance. He was so sweet and kind to me. I only remember a little I was in and out of consciousness, but I remember him holding my hand and promising me my kiddos were safe. Words can never be put into words how much I know that my Heavenly Father loves me. I know that because it could have been so much worse. I am even thankful for this experience.

  On the day of the accident Aaron was on the phone and heard everything. In the moment he handled things in  a way that was only guided to him threw the spirit. He knew his dad was the closest to the and i would want them away from the accident as soon as possible, he knew I would have wanted to him to hug the kids before he came to me. He also felt  the spirit tell him exactly how to get home the quickest. I love him.  I will never forget seeing him at the hospital. The way just seeing him calmed me. I love how he held my hand and reassured me we could get threw this. No matter what happens we ARE going to get threw this as a family and with my friends.

   I am so thankful for my friends, Laurel, Sarah, Mary, and Katheryn. I am thankful for my sister.  I can only express how much I love her. All day we were trying to get a hold of my mom and by the night time I told Aaron call Jen. Not even a minuet later mom was calling. Then they drove all the way from Louisiana and  she was here. Playing and loving the kiddos. Which is what I wanted and needed her to do. I see all my blessings and I am so thankful for them all.

Halloween fun 2012!!!

  Like every year Aaron and I had our Halloween party. This year though it fell on a bad weekend and we had a small but super fun turn out. We missed our friends that could not make it but, we had a lot of fun and some super fun and interesting conversations.

 

 This year I was Flo from the progressive commercials and Aaron was a used car salesman.

  In honor of  our friends " The Thompsons" we played the game that makes everyone laugh.

  Win, Lose, or draw  this is Barack Obama!

  Look at the look on their faces.... pretty funny!

  Then we were off to the trunk-or-treat. This year it was fantastic. My mom planned it and the young men and women did the games, decorations, and set up. Which was really nice! Normally primary is in charge of it and we never get to go do things with our own children. It was so fun! I for 1 am super thankful for all my moms work. It was also on a Saturday and at the Wheelers home so a Big thanks for them as well. My kids loved it!

  Abi was Dorothy! The cutest Dorothy ever!

  Harris was the bravest Batman ever!

 Mam-Maw was the best face painter!

  The only  thing I did not love the 4 fish that we won and are now ALL dead!!! We can not keep a fish a live for anything!

  There was a haunted Forrest it had everything. A graveyard, mad scientist, butcher, crazy clown, a witch with poison apples, and a crazy lady.  It was fun!

  Then we of course  carved a pumpkin. Harris thinks mustaches are super funny so of course our pumpkin had one.

  Last we had our actual trick or treat night. It was hilarious Harris kept giggling because everyone was saying how cool he looked. This was the first year he really got into Halloween so it was super fun when he would run down the driveway to tell me all about it. Abi was super funny because every house she would talk Harris into knocking and getting the candy in case they were scarey so she could run away first if she needed to. She would tell him that every single house.

 Then we came home early and passed out candy! I love Halloween! I love even more that this year my kiddos LOVED Halloween even more.

If there was a contest for Worlds Best mom....

 I would win!! Here is Harris asleep on a pile of dirty clothes.  At least it was time for his weekly bath. JUST KIDDING!

girls camp 2012

   A couple days before girls camp my  friend called and asked if I could come for 2 nights and teach some classes, and also if I could make Thank You gifts for the leaders. I was thrilled! I came up with painting canvases with chalkboard paint added a cute ribbon and button and Ta-DA Thank You gifts! Not to brag but I thought it was super cute!

 My Bed

 On Wednesday I was asked to help decorate the 4th year gilrs table but 3rd yr was going to do the work. It turned out super cute.  Plus most of the girls in our ward were 3rd level so it was fun to be with them.

  Sister Roberts was the 3rd level camp crafter and it was a blast having her as a room mate.

  My mom was there since she is now in Young Women she was happy to be there and be with her gang in the Kitchen.

  They found the best spot to be at camp was the fridge.

  We had a blast staying up late,laughing, crying, doing make-up and hair. I am  positive that we had more fun than the girls. I also got a hold of  my buddy Katheryn and showed her the joys of a hair straightener.  She is so dang cute!

  Thursday night we did a skit as the leaders.  Sister Roberts is teaching me the dance moves which are from the Micheal Jackson Song Thriller. It was pretty fun!

  Here is skit night those cute cooks made up a dance and did it all by them selves.

  Brother Rudd came up with a rap to the music from fresh prince of Bellair about his life. It was perfect!  We laughed and smiled at his cuteness

  Then we were up. We had to dress like the 80's and be a zombie. It was F-U-N!

  Our Girls! It was so much fun to be with the girls. I am normally in Primary and miss all the amazing girls. I was so thankful I got asked to go. Watching the simple things they would do for one another was a huge reminder of all I should be doing. They are all wonderful!

  When we were done Sister Roberts did some  foot rubs and then the girls came in and we
 got some  Oreo delight the girls.

   I was happy to get home but I am so thankful I got to go. I loved every second of it. The best part was watching all these wonderful young women and knowing how nice it is to know we have them. It was fun I laughed more in those days than I had  all year probably. I loved it!
