Ward Camp Out and A Baby Book...

We had our ward camp out this past Friday. It was a lot of fun. Our kids played in the dirt, made a few new friends and had a blast with the old ones. We got to know each other a little bit better and had a few great laughs. We froze our tails off in our tent though and Chris kept reminding me that we should've taken our trailer.(Sorry Hub's I'll Listen Next Time.) On Saturday morning we had to leave early because I had a baby shower to go to and Sass was going to Lagoon with Grandpa Derral and Zach. We really appreciate all the hard work the A.C. did to help us have a blast. We have some really amazing people in our ward.

I also had probably one of the scariest experiences of my life. E was hit by accident with a stick and was crying so I picked him up and he wasn't taking a breath because he was crying so hard and his eyes rolled in the back of his head and he went really frigid and then started to convulse and then passed out. I was a mess. I screamed for Chris and He actually thought E was acting weird when I picked him up so he was all ready walking to us. E woke up and within five minutes was just fine. We were told to keep an eye on him for the rest of the day. I think my friends thought I was over reacting and I probably was but I have never experienced a child having a seizure and I hopefully won't have to again. When we got in the truck and left Chris and I talked about how scared we were. We felt kind of helpless. When we got home we made a couple of calls and were also told to just watch him for the day. I kept hugging my little guy all day. I kept asking him to look at me so I could check his pupils and he would get mad and hide his face.

(Back to his ornery, cute little self.)

I also went to a baby shower for a friend in my old ward and this is the baby book I made her.

Funny Ladies!!!

I have a scrapbook night at my home once a month for my ward and some of my favorite people come every single month no matter what. I have the best time and I giggle, I do the laugh so hard I cry, tell more labor experiences and kid junk than I ever do scrapbooking. So thanks last night to the 2 ladies who did show up and make my week. It's always good to connect with other adults who when you say something actually look at you like they understand what your trying to say instead of like my little rug rats who have no care about what I say and half the time run off before I'm even done talking. It was fun to talk 'till one in the morning and have yummy goodies and pop and yes I did get the project done that I was working on, but it's a gift so I can't show pictures of it untill after friday.

HaPpY WeEkEnD!!!

So you might see something new on the side of our blog...

I finally did it after much thought and deliberation and much more thought. I added a photo blog. Those of you who are regulars to me know that I love taking photos. So I did the inevetible I made a photo blog. I hope no one gets offended because I'm not trying to copy or steal any idea's I've actually thought about doing it for quite a while and the chicken in me kept saying nonononononono, but the strong gal in me said go for broke. So there you go. If you'd like to take a visit feel free any time. http://autumnsacornsphoto.blogspot.com/ You can also click on the picture to the left of our family blog that says autumns acorns photo blog which looks like this!!!

tHe FuNny KiD tHaT lIvEs WiTh Me!!!

I have a little guy who does such funny things. He doens't have to try. So when he laughs It sings to my heart. I don't let my children have Caffeine at all so this was an I caught you moment. So for those of you looking at the drink SORRY!!! He snagged the can and I had to get a picture. He walked around for about 20 minutes with the box on his head and flapped the sides with his hands. Hubs and I were laughing hysterically. He just thought he was the cutest thing. Oh yeah ..... He really is!!!

HaPpY 4th OF JuLy!!

Pea Pickers...(Is that a word) and The Canyon

My Mom grows an amazing garden. She has Tomatoes, Peas, Carrots, Squash, Gigantic Pumpkins (like 100 lb. kind), Strawberries and peppers. My kids love to help. They also love to reap the rewards of their labors.....By eating the pea's right out of the pods. Oh how they love the time that they spend with Grandma in the garden. (When I was young the garden was a lot bigger and I hated working in it. Hence why I have no garden now. I know really bad because we should be prepared with our food storage. So this will happen next year for absolutely possitively sure.) Next on the list....

My family had a gathering of sorts up Milcreek canyon last Saturday night to celebrate my cousins birthday!!!! The kids totally love the mountains. (Yes that includes the biggest kid ever.... HUBS) He took all the kids exploring and hiking. Thanks to him I got a little bit of a break. Easton has been so funny with his little hat fetish these past couple of weeks and I caught him looking like a Gangsta with it on. Can you see the look of trouble in his eyes HEe hEe Hee!!! We had really yummy Dutch ove b-bq pork sammie's, good salads and for dessert.... Dutch Oven Cobbler and SMORES!!!!

JuSt An AdDiCtIoN Of SoRtS***

So I have this totally unfathomable addiction to pop!!! I'll admit it. I know a lot of you secretly do too. I absolutely love Cherry Coke and if it's not available I choose Dr. Pepper. I have had long periods of time when pop wasn't even in my daily agenda and times when caffeine was a huge no no and I avoided it like the plague. No so much any more. I love that refreshing first gulp of the yummy goodness it offers. Not to mention the little wake me up I receive and it's received every day unfortunately. So now you know why I can't run worth a darn any more and why my darn muffin top hasn't disappeared yet. So maybe one day soon I'll give it up .... Yeah I know Dad I'm not going to forget we have a year to train for that half marathon and I will be there come Hell or high water. So you'd better too.

Boys WILL Be BOYS!!!

So I had 2 totally silly, crazy boys yesterday. One wouldn't take his mp3 player off and looked completely like a total punk with a skull shirt and holy pants.(He's too young should I be scared. NOOO I don't think so.) The other one got him self dressed and if you'll take notice his shirt is on inside out and his pants are on backward. Too dang cute if you ask me. I finally however, got Gus to smile a normal Smile..... instead of some cheesy grin or angry face. Gotta love those boys. (They're definately all their DaDdy!)
