Andy Update

This beautiful boy is so much fun!! We chase each other around the couch and he giggles and giggles until I think he could throw up.

He is so interested in everything and how it works. He tries to take things apart and put them back together, or put things inside of other things, which becomes a bit of a problem when he finds the shower drain or the heating vent!
Andy waves and says bye bye and hi every time he closes a door or puts a blankie over his head or hears the garage door... even cuter, he blows kisses when it's time to leave.... muahh!!
He likes to push his head across the floor, which I think is hilarious (and so does he... he gets a big belly laugh when he does it) because my sister's and I used to do this when we were little :)
Anyone wondering why I call him Monkey, well here he is climbing onto the table... he can scale anything, I swear... he keeps me so busy!!

SOME DAYS

some days I can feel the sunshine,
some days I spend all day trying to escape the dark,
some days are warm
some are so cold I can barely breathe
most days I live
but some I simply survive
some days I laugh
today I cried
and cried
and cried...
some days I forget
but too many I can't
some days I walk on
some days I can't move
most days I repair...
some days I am just too broken
but everyday... I love.

gimme a break

I know I have been terrible at blogging lately, but I barely have time to sleep anymore, let alone blog... here are a few pictures to hold you over until I can get a free moment.

Heaven Sent

Thank heavens for this sweet boy....

Creepy Chickens

okay, for those of you that know me really well, your probably thinking "what the heck are you doing so close to that chicken" Answer? I didn't know they were in there until I was locked in!! They jumped the fence, that's right, not flew over the fence, but jumped it, and scared the crap outta me doing so. And that cute guy to the right? Llama. Looks kinda like Nelson huh? hehe.


I found this adorable little place by my house that has a pond, adorable shops, and a petting farm. Even a baby cow :) Andy loved the animals and had fun petting them (grabbing mostly). That picture below... is a witch, a witch that happens to have a cat and mouse running in circles under her skirt. I know... weird.


And this is my ever so sweet boy... very sad that it was time to say goodbye to the animals and go home.

Hogle Zoo

We went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City on Saturday and had so much fun :) We call Andy our monkey... you think he looks more like that guy? hmmm.

A Tribute To Those Who Love Me

My AMAZING family... Who love me without conditions or promises of perfection. The ones who always have a comfy place to sleep, an ear at ANY hour, a sacrifice, kind advice, warmth, those who never judge me, always want the best for me, and love ME.

My WONDERFUL son... the reason I breathe, my everything, my life. For without Andrew... life has no meaning.

My INCREDIBLE friends that keep me laughing, understand me, care for me, keep me real, and never judge me.

And last, but NOT least, my hubby... The man I have been through the most with. The one that has seen me at my worst, and still loves me. The one that knows what I look like without makeup and curls, and still thinks I'm beautiful. The man that held my hand, my head, and my heart through my heartaches. The one I will stand by through all of his heartaches. My eternal companion, my best friend, my love.
