I never realize how much time has passed until i look at the date of the last time i posted. doh!

i have been busy, but then again not busy.  I'm not sure how to describe it.

the thing i'm busy with the most right now is the baby shower that i am planning for my SIL for this Saturday.  I decided the 15th to do this, i got the invitations done and mailed out the next day. and now i'm collecting and making decorations and figuring out arrangements for the desserts and fun. 

I love throwing parties. i think it was 3 Sundays in a row we had some sort of party at my house. it was nuts.

One thing that i need to remember to not over look is the fact that my sweet little baby, well not anymore, will be turning 2 on Saturday as well. 

We are celebrating on Friday.  We are taking her to the children's museum in down town mesa for a day of awesome. I've never been myself so i'm super excited too! :) i can't wait to share the fun and excitement of her birthday with her.


How has your weeks been, thanksgiving? decorating for Christmas? ( i need to start that too)

my goals this week are:

-get all decorations (babyshower & christmas) up by Thursday
-take more pictures
-30min of exercise everyday
-drink 8 glasses of water a day
-smile & laugh a little bit more this week
-take my kids for a couple of walks
-watch a Christmas movie to get my holiday cheer going
and finally
-don't screw up the cake pops I'm making :)

have a wonderful Monday!!

who? what? where?

where oh where has my little dog gone?

wait uhhh, yeah sorry, i don't even have a dog, and if my cat went missing ..... uhhhh never mind.


but really, i've been off in another world it seems.

yeah no big deal, i'm just jumpin into the unknown, unexplained, and plain weird. it's cool, i pretty much belong there anyway.



now that you are all officially weirded out i give you this.....

you can oooo and awwww now its okay. hahaha.

this is where i have been,
-just chillin with my ladies. 
-babysitting for family
-planning my ATTACK for black friday.
-watching way too many episodes of awesomeness on Netflix (aka. desperate housewives(which i finished) 30 Rock, toddlers and tiaras, and the list goes on.)
-trying to keep the house clean, which has been pretty easy, but i just jinx myself.
-trying to make sick kids be well again.

and saving the best for last.....

-trying to keep up with my little attitude pants Amelia. Yeah she is two(deceber 3rd) and is full of sass and serious RAGE. i thought miss Evelyn was bad, but i'm in for an all new challenge with this little munchkin. Yes she is adorable, but she has looks that could kill, that is no joke, but it is still hilarious. :)

i wish you all a merry week, i'll see y'all just around the river bend.

he's back!

This last Friday my younger brother Taylor came home from his 2 year LDS mission in Uruguay. 

It's so great to have him home.

Evelyn and Amelia were so excited to see him.  This would be the first time Amelia would meet her uncle Taylor! It was so fun!

right before we left to the airport.

we parked in the wrong terminal(my fault) so we had a bus schedule(we rode the bus from 4 to terminal3) so we made an quick awesome sign out of it.  Evelyn was so excited to hold it up!

Yay! here he comes with two other missionaries! I didn't actually see this part i was too short. I'm glad chris is tall enough to get the good shots.

evelyn giving uncle taylor a big welcome home hug.

she was seriously so excited!

Amelia hugging taylor for the first time.  She was watching everyone else hug him and just had to get in on the action.

They love their uncle taylor.

He met 3 new ones.

Rigden on the far left in the hat.

Rylee the little cute nugget he is holding.

and of course Amelia.

After all the airport fun we headed over to Tia Rosa's for a delicious lunch. I haven't been there in forever and it was so delicious. YUM.

Now let all the parties begin.

So glad to have him back! It went by so incredibly fast!

the next day

I guess since it's the 1st of November the infamous Halloween post must be happening today.....


and yea verily, here is it!

Let me just say a few things before i put a few pictures.

This is the first time my husband has actually gotten a costume (on his own i might add) and dressed up with me and matched! i told him it was the greatest Halloween yet, and he said happy anniversary. hahaha. so every 5 years he'll dress up? it was well worth the wait though!

and last night i took Evelyn around the neighborhood, and then i hit up a werewolf bar mitzvah Halloween party. it was sahweet. i have no pictures but i'm sure i can share a link with you soon of the cool people that were there. i was so excited when i saw that Katniss and Peeta were there. :)

anyway, enjoy.
