weekend shindigs and random thoughts

another weekend has come and gone. 
booooooo. weekends are my favorite. 
this weekend hubby spent 95% of the time working on the bathroom downstairs. (we're putting in a bathroom with a shower and a finished washroom and all the works.)
 you have no idea how happy i'am about this! i get to decorated my own little washroom. yeppie!
this weekend i also got to try "waffle love" for the first time. 
andrews not to sure about it (hence his face in the picture ha!) 
annnnnnnnd i'm not to sure how i felt about it. 
i'm glad i tried it because i have always wanted too but really $7 dollars for one waffle? insane. 
ha ha probably never do that again. 
andrew is scooting like a crazy fool. one second he's there and next he's clear over there. 
i'm worried about my christmas tree and my book shelves. i like my stuff neat and not touched. 
 ha ha send help! 
andrew's birthday presents are taken care of already... couldn't pass up on the deals.
 (spoiled little fella) ha ha and his christmas presents are almost done. i can't even began to say how happy i am for christmas. i will be honest all the christmas parties and making sure none fall on the same date at the same time kinda stresses me out. ha sometimes i wanna hide from it. ha! but most important to me this season is spend lots and lots of time as us 3 as a little family celebrating. i know andrew won't remember anything but it's important to me and i'll remember it. 
annnnnnnnd my cousin had her baby. can't wait to hold a tiny newborn and then hold andrew and feel sad that my baby is growing up. ha seriously how do you mama's deal with it? it just hurts my heart. 
anyways this blog post was lame. so sorry if you wasted your time reading this. 
but also thank you for reading this. 
happy week to ya'll! 

****OH AND HOW COULD I FORGET...**** 
my mother opened an etsy account. {sewshelliesews}
check it out and go get your christmas decorations or christmas gifts or baby shower gifts.
won't be disappointed!

halloween with a little fox!

halloween was lots more fun with a little one this year. 
little andrew was a fox! he was originally going to be a lion but before i bought it i saw the fox costume and i couldn't resist! he was so darn cute in it and he didn't even mind the costume. (win!)
this year we spent most of the whole day laying tile in the new bathroom downstairs. 
my brother came down and him and brandon worked hard all day and andrew had cousin time with karter! they were stinking cute together. 
later that day we got dressed and went to my mama's ward party with the siblings. 
it was a good halloween! 
^^next year i want to put more effort into hubby's and mine costume but this year we were hunters.
gotta hunt down that cute little fox!^^ 
^^CAN'T HANDLE THE CUTENESS!^^
^^Frankenstein cupcakes! so cute!^^
^^pretty sure this is the best cousin photo we've ever gotten!^^
^^half of my siblings. crazy bunch!^^
^^all ready to go trick or treating and yes he did go... had to get his parents candy. ha!^^
^^went and seen andrew's other cousins. :)^^
hope your halloween was wonderful and you still have tons have candy to eat!

my "why."

"there are two important days in a woman's life - the day she is born and the day she finds out why."
 -Elaine Cannon. the day little Andrew was born was the day I found out my "why."
being a mother is the most important job, calling, duty i will ever have. 
i'm so blessed to be his mommy.
