Halloween 2012

By -
SO. Halloween came around, and for the first time in a long time... I had no plans. I kid you not, childhood, my parents always had Halloween parties, around the age 10, My best friend Ashley at the time threw parties... and if I wasn't with her, I was at Amanda's Halloween Party... and every year after amanda moved, I was back at ashleys... come highschool, I met my Best Friend Briana, and I've spent every Halloween with her since.. I mean, over 5 years of Halloween tradition, and that tradition... moved to Bellvue Washington this summer... 


which left drew and I plan-less this holiday,

SO what'd we do?... well, I made Breakfast after I got off of work, Drew helped by making Potatoes O' Brien... an all time favorite... and we had French Toast and Sausage... Followed by listening to christian music and watching the Food Network, yummy treats and delicious eats!!!


THEN... the magic happened, He handed me my belated (because it had to be shipped) Anniversary Gift... I got two things :] 

Thumb
A bottle of Dearly Beloved (which will probably never be opened,) I adoreeeee the Dia de los muertos skulls! (Go Drew!)

and... this book I've dreamt of ever since I was about 15 years old and met Annabeth Nickell!!! 
It's literally a hands on ridiculously expensive, no longer in print... super hard to find... Scrapbook of Audrey Hepburn's Life!!!

AudreyHepburn
the parts at the bottom... yes those are handheld replicas of things like callback sheets, rehearsal times, show tickets, her son's birth announcement, her wedding photography negatives... YOU CAN HOLD THEM!?
it's like holding a piece of history... we looked at the book together and Drew was in shock as I was the first time I ever got to see this book.. so amazing! thank you puffin!


BUT, the holiday was not over, we headed to TARGET to pick up snacks for the trick or treaters... Drew proudly handed out Pirate's Booty to a measly 5 children, though they were happy!!!
The greatest thing of all this holiday... The boyfriend bought me this pumpkin!!! AHHHHHH and so our Halloween Decoration collection starts.
I made Mojito Lime chicken street taco style Tostadas... fully loaded, Drew bought Pumpkin Pie Shakes... we watched FEAR with his mom...and ended the night with the Charlie Brown Classic " The great Pumpkin Charlie Brown"... it got no better.. and it was a Fearfully perfect night!
Drew's favorite part... Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Your ninth birthday

  Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. You are hilarious, beautiful, witty, intelligent, and passionate. You are so much fun. Today you’re 9 years old. A coworker stopped me and said, “I’m so happy you’ll spend the day with her tomorrow because when she’s 18, she won’t want to spend her whole birthday with you.” And that’s so true. I’ll have to share my time. This is your last single-digit birthday. You lost a tooth this week, and it wasn’t even a big conversation. You just lost it. When it comes to looks, Utah gave you freckles—they’re all over. Your eyes are still a hazy green, and your golden locks are growing browner by the day. You still have beautiful streaks of blonde, and I love them. You’re very tall but still in a booster seat. Maybe you’ll outgrow it by 10. I’m proud of you for letting me keep you safe. You started 3rd grade at an incredibly conservative Christian school that didn’t require anyone to follow biblical values except you—so we left. You joined your first charter school, ...

  Bryer boy, Bryer boy. I cannot believe you are two. I will never forget the night I went into labor with you. I went to the hospital around 10 or 11 o’clock at night on the 23rd. I remember thinking, I can’t believe he’s doing this to me. Your dad said you could come any day, and of course, you chose a day that will forever confuse me when it comes to your birthday and your actual birth date. But that’s just like you, full of surprises. And in these last 365 days, you’ve continued to surprise me in the best ways. I’m not shocked one bit. You are everything I didn’t know I needed, and someone I absolutely adore. You are completely obsessed with both of your parents. Audrey? That love is a little more conditional, but you love your whole family big: extended, chosen, and blood-related. You love to play and will play with anyone willing to join you. You spent most of the year reading books. Your favorite was Penelope on the Farm, a hand-me-down from your cousins Nick and Rylee. You ...

Your eighth birthday

  Audrey Kaydence. Today you are 8 years old. Holy cow kid. You made it to 8. Time goes faster than what I would deem appropriate but all in all you have had quite some LIFE in your years. Let’s recap the last year shall we?  You switched schools in February, which was a challenging decision, but a good one you were at a much smaller school now with a much smaller network of friends and it is healthier for you.  Your blonde hair is still blonde and your eyes are still this gray blue green. They change all the time primarily gray and green sometimes blue and green still very light still very curly. You have more freckles now than you ever have before and I am admiring watching your face with glasses as I know that contacts are coming soon to help with your myopia. You will always be my baby. I am excited to watch you grow up. You got to go to your first concert this year it almost became your entire personality. You have been a Taylor Swift fan since you were about two yea...
