Halloween 2008








Halloween was tonight. Hooray. I'll let Megan tell everyone all about it, but since I took the pictures, I get to decide which ones to post. So this is all you get for now until Megan gets Audrey to bed. Oh, and can you guess what Audrey is dressed up as? You're so right!

Audrey is officially two years old






Audrey is officially two! I did not post anything on her birthday, because I have been so busy but here are some fun pics. Audrey turned two on October 19th and had a good time at the two b-day parties we had for her. One party was on my side with all her cousins, it was a bunch of fun because I found all this great Halloween party stuff at Target. Some of the fun stuff that I got was a ghost pinata, pin the nose on the pumpkin game, and cupcakes that had some fun Halloween decorations on them and a bunch of prizes and candy. I love that Audrey B-day is in the Fall and around Halloween because it is my favorite time of year and there is fun stuff to get for her b-day. We also had little birthday party with Sean's side and they got her a cake that was from Cold Stone Ice Cream and it was absolutely beautiful looking and delicious ( Thanks!). It was a cookie dough ice cream cake, if that does not tell you how good it was. Audrey was so excited when we sang Happy B-day to her and then she actually blew out the candles on her cake. I was so proud of her for doing that, she actually surprised me because I thought I would be blowing out the candles for her. She is definitely living up to being a two year old, she can throw a tantrum for at least fifteen minutes, it is not pleasant at all. She is talking more and more in sentences these days and says words that I did not even know she knew.... She really takes on to learning and count to ten, knows her shapes, some colors, and loves to sing songs all the day long. We are so proud of our little two year old and love her so much!

I've been tagged!! This is my first time, so here it is.
List 5 fears, 5 joys, 5 obsessions/collections, 5 surprising facts about you. Tag 5 people.

5 Fears
1. I have a phobic of spiders and I am deathly afraid them. I have hallucinated them before when I was like half asleep, so it was all in my head.
2. I have a fear of someone breaking into my house. Sometimes if it is a windy night and I hear strange noises at the window I get a little scared, because I think someone might be trying to get in to my home. I know I am such a wimp!
3. One thing that does scare me sometimes, is when my daughter has her holding breath spells. She will pass out and literally stop breathing for a few seconds. Sometimes I am scared she will stop breathing and then no oxygen will flow to her brain and that she could have a seizure. Thankfully, that has never happened before, it is a possibility though if she does not breath for a certain period of time.
4. I fear one day having a phone call that my husband has been in a car accident that has severely injured him, or him getting really sick.... I always think of worse case scenarios.
5. I fear of dying young, because I always want to be there for my husband and children. Especially when my kids are growing up, I want them to have there mommy around.
5 Joys
1. My baby girl Audrey is my pride and joy in life. She is such a character and makes me laugh almost every day, because of how cute her personality is.
2. My husband makes me so happy and I am so glad to have him in my life. He really makes me a better person.
3. I love my family on my side and on Sean's side, they mean so much to me and I don't know what I would do in life without them.
4. I feel so grateful to have the gospel in my life, because it gives me purpose and understanding of why we are here and to have that knowledge is so meaningful to me every day.
5. I love to exercise! It makes me feel so good to run a mile, or two and feel that burn during it to know that I am strengthening my muscles. I love, love power tumbling it has been so much fun to me this past year. I like doing yoga, kickboxing aerobics, pilates etc. Speaking of exercise I have been a slacker for two months, but for good reasons. I need to kick myself into gear.
5 obsessions/collections
1. I know this sounds weird, but one thing that I am obsessed with is having a clean nose. I could not tell you how many tissues I go through a day. I can't stand to have a runny nose, or anything in my nose for that matter, but who does.... I will have to use a tissue quite a few times a day, when it is not really that necessary.
2. I have to have clean hands and feet! I wash my hands a lot during the day, because I hate germs, so my hands are usually cracked and dry for that reason. If my feet feel dirty at all I have to go to the bath tub and wash them, it just makes me feel more clean, when my feet are clean.
3. I do not really have any collections, but my husband does. He has been collecting Garfield comic books since he was a kid and he has tons of them and he still buys them to this day. (I thought this is both our blog, so why not share something about him. =).
4. Every night when I go to bed I have to have a glass of water next to me, or I can not fall asleep. I get very thirsty in the night.
5. Well this is really sad I don't have any collections..... I guess I need more hobbies, but I just never have time for anything. Maybe someday.=)
5 surprising facts about you
1. I am still afraid of the dark, have been since I was a kid. I have gained more courage over the years, but I like to flip on a light so I can see where I am going and know what is surrounding me.
2. I can walk on my hands for a couple of minutes.
3. I was a twin when I was born, but my brother died before birth.
4. I am a night owl and I usually stay up until midnight every night.
5. I love to cook and create my own meals, I guess I am creative in that sense. Also, I have such a sweet tooth and I can not pass up sweets at all.
Okay enough about me!
I tag Alyssa, Maczil, Maggie, Morgon, and Terra!

Baby girl is almost two!!! Audrey growing up......



One fun thing about Audrey when she was a baby, she had four different eye colors. First Ocean blue, green (like in the picture to the side) hazel and then her eyes finally changed to the beautiful brown color they are today.





I can't believe how much my baby girl has grown! Time really does fly by so fast and I'm so grateful for the memories I was able to capture through photography. People always say cherish every moment while your child is young, because before you know it there all grown up and it is so true. I know she will only be two, but really the past two years of her life feel like a glimpse in
time to me. I thought I would put a some pictures of her as a baby to share with you, so you can see how she has developed.

Bath Time!


Ruby slippers

Audreys ruby slippers
Can you guess who Audrey will be for Halloween? If the ruby slippers don't give it away. I will give you another hint, she will be carrying a little basket with a dog named TOTO.
Mommy and Audrey hanging out at home.
This is my very first blog, so I decided to just post some random pictures of the family just for fun. Not a whole lot is going on in our lives right now, so I don't have a whole lot to blog about. Hopefully I will get better at it....... Audrey is basically the highlight of my life every day, I thought it would be fun to add some bloopers about things she has been saying lately. She is so funny sometimes and makes Sean and I laugh, because you know kids can say the funniest things. The other day I put Audrey down for a nap in her playpen and she was laying there for a minute and then I heard her say "Mommy! Daddy! Monster..... and she repeated it a couple of times until I came into the room and she just smiled at me and laughed. Thank goodness, she is to young to realize what a monster really is, because I would be up with her every night if that was the case. Well I actually can not think of any other funny things that Audrey has said recently, but I will post them if she does. Audrey is so cute and is already learning good manners, she will say "bless you" after someone sneezes, please and thank you, excuse me... sometimes, and other cute things. Some of the fun things Audrey likes to do, is dance, play pretend with her baby dolls, read books with mommy, and get into things she's not suppose to.... I am kind of a person that jumps from subject to subject, so I hope you can keep up with me....
I am so excited for Halloween, because my mother-in-law is making Audrey a Dorthy costume from the Wizard of Oz. I love the ruby slippers that she will get to wear and we even have the actual Toto dog in the basket, thanks to Sean's grandma.=) Well that is my first blog ever! Yahoo!
