We are going to my parents home soon to spend christmas and new years, and also their 25th wedding anniversary, which has me thinking how awesome it is that my parents are still together and I am so lucky and grateful for that.
Being married and seeing the good and bad marriage can bring, it takes LOTS AND LOTS of work to make a marriage work, and although love is the main foundation to a marriage , love isn't going to "carry you through" like a lot of love songs say.
Andrew is so funny nowadays, he loves to dance, to every single beat and song. its so funny.
He is very outgoing once he gets comfortable he will be sitting on your lap if he likes you, and he loves the ladies. seriously anywhere we go he picks a pretty girl and sits with her... lord help me.
Hubs bought us a "family present" which is an xbox 360 with kinect! we have been having so much fun dancing to dance central and its quite a work out, the hubs and I SWEAT like crazy just playing that game! it should keep us entertained throughout this crazy winter.
I stilll have to finish laundry, packing, and a doctors appointment today. fun fun.

A day in the snow
Last week there was the first real snow fall of the year, as in snow stayed on the ground long enough.
Andrew looked out the window in awe of this new white thing falling from the sky, after all it was his first snow fall!
needless to say we didn't go out and enjoy it like you would have thought, we stayed home.
But today it snowed, and after church my hubs took andrew out to "play" in the snow.
My husband is from florida. Sooo you can imagine how much fun he was having * none* and then andrew didn't like it either, but he was brave and took some photos with us :)

Cherry blossom tree inspired nails
If there is one "beauty" type thing I enjoy doing is nails.
I love doing nails.
I have just been doing my nails since I was 9. I can't remember a time when I didn't do my nails.
Now that I am a mommy, and aside my regular mommy attire of pj pants and baggy shirts on an almost daily basis, my nails and occasionally my makeup are my only beauty outlet !
So here is my cherry blossom nails i did the other day!
Christmas seems to be creeping up to fast! truth is every night for the last week i've been drinking hot chocolate by my christmas tree just enjoying the cold nights.
BUT after all the holidays and such come new year resolutions and then valentines day, which i love,
but to be honest I HATED it when i was a teenager, probably for the same reasons every single teenage girl does, the lack of male attention on that day.
But now i have a permanent man in ma life ;) and he always follows through with something fun :)

A nice surprise!
No I'm not pregnant :op I can't afford that right now sadly :(.
BUT! I had a wonderful surprise in the mail today!
I've been blogging for about a year and I see bloggy friends send other friends things , and I thought how cool that would be!
Well I got something in the mail today from one of my bloggy friends!
She was suppose to send me a yo-gabba gabba CD * since we love them* and I got a few more surprises :)
Thanks so much chica!
See? The peppermint bark is AMAZING, and the ornaments match my tree perfectly!
Andrew has been sick this week, with a runny nose, that now turns into a stuffy nose which means 50 % of the day he's grumpy. blah.
But he is growing up so fast and is so cute. He says "woof woof" to almost all animals still, he's still not saying specific words but def making LOTs of noises and it seems more inclined to spanish sounds, its weird but there are certain sounds that come from the spanish language, we'll see what happens!

Normality and christmas time !
I am so happy to be in my home home.
I love my parents home, but since having to move to a smaller house it just seems crowded and I anxiously wait to go back home.
We had a wonderful vegan thanksgiving, it was fine I did smell the turkey but just kept STRONG! haha.
Anyways I broke down crying like a baby when we did a family circle "what we are thankfulness" time.
I just broke down due to my bffs mom struggling through cancer, and a new church member who I have known all my life just was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. I mean it was too much, I just felt EXTREMELY blessed beyond what I think I deserve . Anyways my husband said some amazing things about me, and I think its important to hear those things, sometimes through the business of the the week and life in general we don't have time to remind our partners how much we appreciate them.
We got home I unpacked * now i have like 3 loads of laundry again* and We put up our christmas tree right away. My husband thinks I'm crazy but Im glad he doesn't say anything and actually helped me put up things this year :)

Remembering My blessings.
Sometimes its so so easy to forget daily blessings.
Today during our mom time at church we had a massage therapist come in and show us baby massage and she shared the importance of touch.
The fact that I have a roof over my head.
Food to feed my family.
My own family
Generally good health in my family.
I forget those things.
I see my BFF suffer with her mom and her cancer and it breaks my heart. Sometimes i'm speechless all i can do it hug her.
Today during our mom time at church we had a massage therapist come in and show us baby massage and she shared the importance of touch.
And she talked about Gods amazing touch, how he healed, and i swear i felt so close like Jesus was holding my hand.
We were talking about parenting the difficulties and the challenges but all we can do it grab onto Jesus, thats when our FAITH is truly challenged.
So I pray God gives me the strength and remind me that he is holding my hand, my husbands hand and my sons hand as we travel through the journey of being parents together.

18 months
Dear Andrew,'
Today you are 18 months.
A full grown toddler. Adorable and funny, silly but serious at times.
Your laugh fills my heart, and your smile literally melts any problem I have away.
Just to hold you everyday is enough for me.
You are a fun little man these days.
You love to run outside. You love LOVE to be chased around !
You aren't saying any specific words but you "talk" ALLL Day long
You make my heart happy.
You love yo gabba gabba and you like to dance (ha).
You love to play on top of us and throw your self twirl and laugh.
You pretty much eat everything we eat, sometimes there are issues at eating times but for the most part you do pretty well :).
You love to sit and "read" and you continue to amaze me how long you can sit on the floor and pretend to do that.
You know how to "pray" mommy and daddy have taught you to hold your hands and bow your head, and you do that. We lower our voice when we pray and you do the same and whisper gibberish as we pray as well.
You are so funny little bunny.
You love animals and smile at them.
You love daddy and run to him when we go visit him at school.
You love me, your mom, and you grab my face and look at me, then hug me... I want to cry sometimes with the sweetness that is.
I just forget your growing, but your still small and a baby.
I need you to be loved and carried still! I'm going to soak up all the "baby" left in you.
So my sweet little babes, you continue to be the joy in my life. You are pure and innocent happy and you remind me of God's love everyday. That special gift God gave me. Through you I learn more and more about love and God's love for his children!
Te amo
your mommy :)
