Pumpkins: The reason fall is so great!!

Warning: If you don't want to see a MILLION pictures of Caydence, don't proceed to read this post. I just couldn't make up my mind, they were all so cute!

Today we went to a pumpkin patch and hay maze with some friends and we had such a great time! The littlest things are so exciting to the kids, and I love that!

The kids had a hard time getting past the entrance because they all just wanted to touch this pumpkin :) P.S. This shirt is for you Nicki, it says: Cap'n Spooky's Pirate Academy, Surrender Yer Candy!, ha ha
This is Caydence's little friend Ali, she is the cutest thing ever! Her tongue is always sticking out :)

This picture is so funny. They are all looking to the same side, but I have no idea what they are looking at. It was nearly impossible to get a shot where they were ALL looking at the camera, so asking for a smile was pretty much out of the question.

The best shot of all of them looking at the camera. (It only took 500 shots)

My little sweetheart!

Caydence absolutely loved the maze and ran through it just laughing and screeching.

This was the sign outside of the maze, and I thought it was pretty funny. (Notice the tiny "A")

More fun in the maze.

Caydence and Ali in the wagons.

The best shot in the wagons with Ali and Adam.

Looking over her shoulder.

My favorite!!

I love this girl!

The best shot.

The majority of shots.

Cute Heather and Ali! Love them!

It was really windy, hence her hair. I really wanted a shot with her and her pumpkin....

...but she was more interested in eating hay.

So I took one last shot in her car seat :)

I love fall weather, fall food, pumpkins, Halloween, and everything about this season!!! Bring on the holidays!!

I need advice!!!

Babies are so confusing!! Here is the problem:

First Occurrence: While driving to our family reunion July 24th, about 45 minutes since we left our house, Caydence puked all over herself and the car. It was pretty much all curdled milk. (She LOVES milk and drinks a lot of it) We didn't think she was sick because she had no other symptoms, and once we got her cleaned up she was fine for the rest of the day.

Car sick?

Second Occurrence: After driving to the mall with my mom 2 weeks ago (also about a 45 minute drive) We shopped for about 15 minutes, and Caydence puked all over herself and her stroller. Again, all curdled milk. She had 2 big cups full within 2 hours.

Car sick? Too much milk?

Third Occurrence: She woke up and went straight into the bath, and had some milk while I finished getting ready (we do that often so it wasn't anything new) and then went to grandma's to have her babysit for an hour (only a 2 minute car ride, so I don't think it was car sickness). After being there for like 10 minutes she puked the curdled milk everywhere!

????????

She isn't sick, so this is really baffling me. Couldn't be car sickness, because it wasn't all from riding in cars. Couldn't be too much milk because the 3rd time was a routine we do often. Could it be an allergy she is now developing? But she has been fine until now, and it doesn't happen every time she has milk, and she doesn't have any rashes or anything. But the occurrences are becoming more frequent.

I just don't know!!!!

Any suggestions/ideas/diagnosis/comments/ or ANYTHING else is appreciated!! (especially if you are a Dr., ha ha)

NO CANCER!!!

That's always good news :)

I wasn't really too worried about "cancer of the finger," but it was a good feeling when the doctor gave me the pathology report that said my tumor wasn't cancer.

It's a good thing she told me that's what the report said, because I wasn't really understanding this: "Sections show a circumscribed proliferation of polygonal cells with admixed giant cells. The stroma shows hyalinization." etc. Ha ha, guess I'll never be a doctor.

It's a good day...

Oh no!

I just found Caydence in her crib diaper-less for the first time. Oh great....

And why was she sleeping with just a diaper on? She puked ALL OVER herself and her stroller while we were out.

It hasn't been my favorite day as a mother....

Surgery: Part 2

Sorry this is going to be short because I still don't have much feeling in a few of my fingers, but I just wanted to tell everyone that the surgery went great. It was fast and easy, and the healing is going well. I've got a big bandage on my whole right hand, and it has to stay for 2 weeks and it can't get wet, so it's a bit of a challenge, but everyone has been so great to help me. Things are going well and I just wanted to say thanks for all of the well wishes!

Surgery

So tomorrow I am getting what we loving refer to as my "6th finger" removed. I don't think these pictures quite do it justice, because it is huge.

I discovered it about a year ago, but it wasn't nearly as big. I figured it was a cyst because I've had one before. It took me forever to get into a doctor, and he made me go to a plastic surgeon, which was another long wait. So I am finally getting it taken care of. The plastic surgeon said she is pretty sure it is a giant cell tumor. I'm excited to get rid of it, because it is starting to really get in the way and it really hurts when it pushes on my finger.

I am a little nervous about the surgery, but then I remember I had a c-section, and it doesn't seem so bad. :) So wish me luck, I'll let you all know how it goes!

Sometimes I am crafty...

Sunday was Danny's mom's birthday and I always want to find unique and thoughtful gifts, so I am pretty much on the lookout year round for good ideas. I saw this idea on the abc 4 morning show, (I think it's called Good Things Utah.) I thought it was pretty cute, so I gave it a try.

The woman doing this demo was from Roberts crafts and she said you could get everything you needed there....not true. I went in to ask them what they used, and they had no idea what I was talking about. Apparently, the people who are on the morning show don't pass on the info to all their stores, which is pretty lame. So I looked at the ABC 4 website and they said the hanging frames for the pictures were jewelry pieces, so I went back and looked in the jewelry section and still couldn't find anything.

So Danny and I went to Ben Franklin searching for something we could use. We finally settled on these (they are glass circles) and they are actually Christmas ornaments, but I mod podged the pictures on the back, and they made nice frames. (And they were a little bigger than the ones they used so you can actually see the pictures.) I even hung them and curled the wire, put the wire on the top, and added the ribbon on the top.

I included a picture of Danny's sister's family, our family, and his parents. I really liked how it turned out, and I just had to share it.
