Getting Lost

Would you like some cheese with that corn?
Collin, Carly(aka Mom), Adon, Moriann, and Justin in the Corn maze. Aaron the photographer.

It was bright afternoon and the sun was in our eyes. Good thin I brought my way awesome Vroom vroom hat!

Sorry about the glare but this was too cute not to post. He had a blast on my back just jabbering and bouncing the whole way. That is until he realized that Daddy was not carrying him and then Collin wanted his daddy.

Aaron vs. Mini Maze

We all get our kicks in different ways. Nice heel click at the end.

Minature Maze

Hay mom where's the exit?
Adon wave for the camera!

Record time through the mini maze. Piece o cake!

Kiss Me Fool

This cut out picture was at the corn maze. We all had to try it.
What sports!
What a cute little toad!
Even Justin and Moriann couldn't resist!

Aaron likes Pie

We made Sunday pie. It was good. Eat your heart out. Aaron made the crust and I made the filling. It was good.

Primary Children

Today was our ward's Primary Program in church. Me being the chorister, I was center stage with my back turned to the audience. But enough about me; I just wanted to express my love for my calling and the people/children I work with. We have been working all year to learn these new songs. I love the messages in them about families, Jesus Christ, and following the guidance of prophets. The primary is a good sized primary and they are rambuctious country kids. Each and every one of them is precious and I have become close friends with many of them. I have tried my best to be what would be the "primary gospel doctrine" teacher. They are great singers and always try to please. Today they sang wonderfully and most of the kids had their parts memorized. After each song that they sang, I sat down so proud of them. They even learned to sign Families Can Be Together Forever. They did GREAT! I am so so so proud.
Thank you to each and every one of them. Thank you to the Primary Presidency and the Steak who support me in my calling. Thank you to my awesome pianists they are sooooooo needed and they are soooooo willing to share their talents.

Sing with me...

Adon doesn't really sing at all but this morning he wanted to sing to Grandma Egbert on the phone. So I gave it to him and he sung his ABC's with very little help. (The letter "E" is feeling a little left out but we are working on it.) It made grandma cry and me so proud. So I asked him if he would sing for the camera. At first he said no. Then he said he would. The first recording was sooooo quiet you couldn't hear it. He was a little frustrated that I asked him to do it again, louder. So its lost a bit of its sing song quality and you can tell he was frustrated when he got to the part that he needed help but at least you can hear what he is saying. Sooooo proud of you little man!

Thank you Auntie Rachel

Adon got these awesome spider man shoes from Auntie Rachel that were once TJ's. He is now finally able to fit into them and they are a big hit. He loves it that they light up and tells every one who is on his shoes. "Who is on your shoes, Adon?" "Spider" "Spider who?" "Spiderman!" He loves it!

Spoiled? Me?

Last night our power went out until about 2:30 in the morning. (Note: make sure all the lights are in the off position before going to bed or you will get a wake up call.) The boys had fun eating dinner by candle light and we went to bed early. We listened to the rain and watched the lightning. This morning Aaron got up with the boys and when I finally rolled out of bed I was swiftly ordered back. Aaron was making me breakfast in bed and the bacon wasn't quite done. Hey thats the reason I got up...MMmmmm BAAACCCCOOONNNN! Aaron had made pancakes, bacon, and hot chocolate for me, and brought it on a cookie sheet. Every one say it with me... Awwww. Maybe this had something to do with me almost killing myself and falling into a window well. Or maybe he just had fun when the power was out too.

"I Did It Auntie Kadie"

We all love to climb! He was so proud of himself.

The Fruits of Our Labors

To make a long story short... a few of our nice candles were melted to obliteration. I remelted them and remade a few (safer) candles. They smell too good to just throw away.
Mom and I have been busy this week. At home I did corn (12 bags), salsa (12 pints), and plum/grape jelly (24 bottles). I've helped mom with peaches and she got half ( 9 quarts). Her tomatoes decided they wanted to ripen this week so we made 6 quarts of tomatoe juice. Today we did 13 quarts of yummy pears.

Its beautiful. No?

Later this week, more corn on the way from Vernal. More jelly (gotta use up that puree), more tomatoes (mom's bushes are unstoppable), and more peaches if we are lucky. Later this month or maybe next PUMPKIN! I'm glad I decided to wait till next year to do pickles and garlic. LOL!

Collin in Grandpa Collett's Chair

My mother has this little wooden chair in her home that her father made in his shop. The back has the silhouette of the head of a bear.
Great Grandpa Collett passed away five years ago this Christmas Eve.


Here is my little posing boy enjoying his size of chair. Collin James Wilson age 16 months.

Collin's Little Personality

When we were in Mexico I made Collin wear this hat every where so he wouldn't get burned. When Adon wakes up he usually comes to our room and asks for breakfast and a movie. When Collin comes to our room he signs for his hat. His silly orange hat. When you give him his hat, he will then want his kitty. When he gets his kitty he waltzes around the house like this. This has become our morning ritual and it is so cute. His little creative personality has come out. He loves his hat, he loves his kitty.

Fifths Disease

Fifths Disease is caused by a virus. Adults and kids can get it. Kids can carry the virus for many days before a bright red rash forms on their cheeks. Once the rash appears then they are not contagious. No other symptoms are associated with this virus excep the occasional runny nose and sore throat.
Collin's rash looks a lot better today.

Once the rash appears it can come and go for 10-14 days. Hot baths and sun shine irritate the usually non itchy rash.

If adults get Fifths diseas it can be accompanied by swelling, especially in the knees and last for up to 3 months. Once you have this virus you produce antibodies for it. Women in the first trimester of pregnancy should notify their obstitrician if they come in contact with the virus.
