I am writting this Blog as a reminder to myself an to help others that may not know how truely blessed my family has been this week. By God's glace and answered Prayers a Miracle has taken place. And a truely great one my cousins baby still has life...if you saw him now you would never know a few days ago he drown. I know of a story of a similiar situation that turned out very differnet so i thought i would share that one too.
Brandon called me just before 5:00 at work. I just knew before getting the phone sommething had to be wrong for him to be calling me just over and hour before i would be home for work. I answered the phone. He didnt say HI Honey, how are you nothing like that. He said Please pray righth now for Noah, Amy found him in the pool, They are in the ambulance in route to the Hospital right now. I said ok, then i started to cry as i prayed standing in the middle of the pharmacy for all my co-workers to see. They all asked what was wrong, I told them all i knew. I saw a few of them that i know are Christian bow their heads for a few moments. Then i called me mom quickly so she could pray too.
My cousin Amy had been working in the front yard, then stopped to talk to a neighbor. Her second oldest boy took Noah (1 year 3 days old) into the house. After Amy was done talking she went it the house. Asked the boys where the baby was. No one knew. She noticed the back door was open and ran outside (they have a pool and jacuzzi back there) Amy pulled Noah lifeless body from the jacuzzi. Began CPR and called for the older boys the find the phone and call 911. They could not find it. Out of the corner of her eye she saw it next to her. She called 911 and told them what happened while still doing CPR on Noah. There was an Ambulance driving down the street right behind her house saving precious time.
Truely by the grace of God all these little Miracles added up to one GREAT one! Noah is alive and home now. He is doing great, his results came back fine on every test they did at the Hospital. Looking at him now you would have no Idea what his little body faced just a few days ago.
This all acured Thursday late afternoon in N. Las Vegas, now i'd like to share a very different story out of Phoenix. That happened the very same day.
Last night on the 9 o'clock news the broadcast follwed up on a story they had first reported Thursday night. I dont know as many details becuase of course i dont know the family and i missed the original broadcast. But it is a similiar story with a very different out come.
At a home in Phoenix at a single home residents a family had a family get together in the back yard. Shortly after sun down they moved the party inside because it was getting chilly. The mother of a two year old girl noticed he daughter was missing. Her older brother found her face down in the pool. The Paramedics stated she was probably in the pool for over 10 mins before she was found. There was a fence around the pool but the gate had been left open. The new caster was following up to let everyone know the two year old has now died!
Knowing the two very different out comes on the very same day make me forever grateful to God's Grace. All the Miracles that took place to protect and save baby Noah. I sit and watch my childern play in a way i never have before, as i am reminder that at any moment something could happen in my home and unlike Amy i would not know what to do. I cant believe the grate miracle of life that god gives us, how anyone could ever deny what he does for us daily. I am motivated by my cousin Amy and her family to take a CPR and First Aid class so i too can know what to do. Her quick thinking and know how saved helped save Noah's life. I wont have a clue what to do. Thank God she is a great mom and did know what to do!

What a Day
Today was Brooklyn and Lelands last gymcania for the season. They Both did so great. My dad works a rotating shift so he doesn't have many saturdays that the event is off. Some how it worked out that he got their last one off.
Leland rode Hoss thru all 4 events on a lead line behind My Dad on Moonie. I was really scared of the Idea at first. But He did great he is such a little pro. Before each event Brandon would set him up on Hoss and he'd sit there till it was time for him to go. Not quitely i mite add all the time saying the cutiest little things...."this horse is ready to go" poinnting to hoss. "That Moonie Papa's horse this my Horse" "My turn Papa lets go" of course not his turn still 3 kids to go before him. Then Hoss would move slightly pick up a foot or take a step forward and he start agian. "this horse scare me" " this horse make me mad not move." "Hoss not go yet" "oh it my turn now" it was so dang funny he was so excited he couldnt stopping talking about the silliest stuff. I sure love him. How Blessed I am to have the wonderful kids I have....that both know so welll how to melt my Heart.
Then right after Leland went Brooklyn on each event. She was not on a lead line like Leland. She had total control of Hoss herself. After Leland did lead line on each event Brandon would go in the arena, get Leland down, change their stur ups, set Brooklyn on Hoss and remove the Lead line.
Once it was all her turn she would follow my Dad on Moonie around the pattern. She would kick Hoss up to catch Moonie and to come home. I was so proud of her. Then on the Third event the Key hole. (which is really easy you go from one end of the arena down to a barrel at the other end go around the barrel and back to the gate) Brandon got her all set up to go. She turned and told Papa, "you stay here i can do it all by myself!" and away she went. Dad stayed on Moonie at the gate inside the arena. She rode down the arena and around the barrel. As she went around the Barrel she kicked Hoss to trot home. Hoss went alittle faster than she wanted him to probably because he wanted to back with Moonie. (Only a fast trot, he didnt turn the barrel and run home)Brooklyn screamed! She was scared and totaly forgot to pull back on the raynes and say hoo. Had she he would have slowed down, but she is still learning and has only rode alone a hand full of times. After she came out she looked scared and wanted daddy. (such a daddys girl) So daddy took her to the truck so they could talk alone because she did NOT want to ride the last event after that. I have no idea what daddy said but he got her talked in to doing the last event. Had it been me no way would i have gotten her to. Of course she let Papa lead and she followed every where he went on the last event, and even kicked Hoss up to a trot back to the gate. She had the Biggest Smile on her face when she was one she was so proud of herself.
They have finished the season with a bang both doing stuff today they have not done before. They will recieve a Belt Buckel on May 16th at 2:00p.m. Brooklyn is excited but alittle upset becuase we thought it was today she got her buckel. But waitng a few weeks and getting to go to the moutians for an award ceremony, with games and all the other kids and adults that ride...it will so be worth the wait!
