MARCH 2013

Eating lunch on your little picnic table Daddy daughter date! Feeding the goats at the park Cheering Aunt Heidi on at her track meet Family bike ride Puppet show with socks:) Bentley and Bailey helping me vacuum Bentley being silly Bailey giving daddy hugs! Pictures from the Lehi days Rodeo: The new dog my parents got at the rodeo. His name is Rocky! my kids love play with him. Bailey's best friend Lucy! Playing house together. Feeding the ducks at the park! Jon and I surprised Bailey with two new little bunnies since she loved them so much at the rodeo... Well she loved them... too much... so we had to give them away after about a week of having them. She was really sad but we gave her some stuffed animal bunnies and doggies and that seemed to do the trick for now. Bailey is such an animal lover! We named them Pebbles and Roxy. I was also sad to see them go but I was so overwhelmed by keeping the kids away from them all the time and cleaning up messes that I just knew that we weren't going to be able to keep them. The Zoo with my cousin Jennifer and her boys Kyle and Nolan. We lucked out and got to see lots of the animals up close! The kids had a blast and Wyatt slept most of the time so it worked out well! Wyatt loves the bouncy horse and smiles and laughs when I let him up there:) Doggy sitting Rocky and playing in boxes:) Dental convention 2013. I loved having my dad and brother Chad there with me this year! We have been having trouble getting Bailey to go to sleep at night. We have tried everything!! Finally we got sick of fighting her so we just tried ignoring her and this is what happened...she fell asleep in the kitchen on the floor. It's like she wants to fall asleep as near to us as she can because we will find her asleep on her floor by the door too! Crazy little girl but we love her! Shopping and Splash pad fun with my friend Shaley and her daughter Lucy. Wyatt loving crawling all around the park hills and of course the table at home! Family bike ride to the park to play! Daddy jogged with the stroller, while mommy rode the bike with the bike trailer:) I let them stick their feet in and of course they ended up like this. Too cold to get in all the way! Wyatt playing in the play house. One of his favorite things to do! He will stand there and open and close the door while ringing the door bell! He also likes to sit at the little table! Water slide fun at Lucy's house Riding in the jeep. It scares me to think they will be driving before I know it! Bentley loves racing this little bike around the back yard My sassy/sweet princess Some pretty lilies Jon brought me home from one day:) Bailey got to hold this cute miniature yorkie/Chihuahua puppy that we saw at the park. She threw a fit when it was time to go! Bailey and Bentley at their friend Deans fun fourth birthday pary! can you guess the theme?.... Power Rangers! Backyard fun! Wyatt always climbs up the slide this way and the other kids like to slide down and knock him over. You would think he would cry but they all usually just start laughing! Best Friends Forever. Bailey and Lucy We also got to visit a dairy farm near us! The kids had so much fun! We got to pet and feed the animals, go for a hay ride, and eat delicious homemade icecream! We went with friends also so the kids played for awhile when we were done.

Wyatt turned 1!

Well the time came for Wyatt to turn one and I am not so sure I was ready for it! This year flew by faster than any other and so much happened... I had Wyatt, then I had surgery, then we moved to a new house, then the holidays were here, and with the new year brought lots of activities, sickness, and birthday parties to attend! My baby truly is growing up way to fast! Wyatt you are such an active little boy! You love to follow your brother and sister around and try to do what they are doing. You climb up slides, the playground equipment, the kitchen table, the blinds, the couch, and any toy! You like to climb and you start giggling to yourself when you get to the top of whatever you are climbing because you are so proud of yourself! Too bad it scares mommy so much and most the time I have to ruin your fun and take you down:) You have a very big mouth and when you laugh or mile it is open to the max each time. You melt my heart with your kisses and snuggles. You are trying to walk but always start laughing and fall over because you get too excited! You like to tease and take after your dad and grandpa anderson with that! You will only eat applesauce, mac n cheese, quesadillas, waffles, muffins, crackers, sometimes strawberries. I can not get you to eat any vegetable but we will work on that. You are in the 95th percentile for height, 50th for weight, and 75th for head circumference. We moved you to a big boy car seat because you have already outgrown your other one. You still love to nurse and I love it to :) It is our special time and I like to sing to you. You love your soft white blankies and you do the cutest thing with them... you like to nibble on the corners, rub the soft blanket on your face, and stroke it as you fall asleep.(you have to see it in person because my description doesn't do the cuteness justice) You love to play outside in the playhouse, ride the toy quads, and go for walks to the park. You will climb the big slides even at the park and you love to swing. You love to play toy cars and push the walker toys around. You also like to watch cartoons with your big brother and sister. You will say mama, dada, baba, and speak gibberish to yourself. You are sweet and perfect and we are so lucky to have you in our family Wyatt! Here are some pictures from your special day! I made you waffles to start, then we went to the park, then we had mac n cheese for lunch with grandma curtis, then we had pizza with your cousins for dinner. After that we had friends and family come to our house for cupcakes and an ice cream bar! You opened presents and had fun cruising around with all the kids. You also dove into your cake. The frosting was extra yummy because my friend Shaley made you a white chocolate, cream cheese frosting. It was delicious. You had a fun day and quickly fell asleep when it was all over!

Month of February! Valentines and our 8th Anniversary!!

February is a short month anyways but I feel like I blinked and it was gone. We still had a little bit of sickness floating around but overall we were able to enjoy getting out and enjoying the nice weather with friends and family! We made frosted sugar cookies at playgroup with friends. The kids were so cute and telling each other happy Valentines while pouring tons of sprinkles onto their cookies:) We were lucky to meet up with my good friend Kelsey and her kids as well. We had a fun chilck fil a picnic and then went to Kelsey's parents house to see her dogs 10 cute puppies. We also got to see and feed the horses which is always a favorite with my kids. We were able to help my mom frost her heart sugar cookies too! She makes the best cookies and I love to help her whenever she is baking. She is so sweet to let the kids help and is so patient and fun with them. I love this month and the cute sweets and love being passed around. Jon and I went to dinner and a cute love themed movie Valentines weekend. We are lucky to have each other and had so much fun... minus the food poisoning from our sushi:( We also got to celebrate our 8th anniversary and we went to dinner at Flemmings Steakhouse in Scottsdale for dinner. It was so nice to get out and be together. We love our kids so much but were grateful for the quiet break from all the hussle and bussle of life! Dinner was delicious and they even sent us home with the best tasting truffles I have ever tasted! Jon and I aren't perfect but we are perfect for each other. Jon is strong when I am not and vice versa. We are looking forward to spending eternity together and seeing what this journey through life brings. The rest of the month has just been busy celebrating, working, and just being busy with life. We hope to enjoy the warmer weather march brings and can't believe our little Wyatt will turn one next month!! He is all over and loves to follow his big brother and sister! He has six teeth and a smile that will light up a room. Bentley is riding his bike more and is doing so well at that and riding his scooter. Bailey likes to be a little mother to Wyatt and most times it isn't very helpful but I can see that she just wants to help. She wants to communicate so badly but just doesn't quite have the vocabulary. I always despise this stage because we have a hard time understanding each other but when we do it is so much fun. She has such a silly/ sweet personality and we love to watch her make up dances and sing. Jon is doing so much with his business and i am so proud of his creative, hard working nature. I am trying my best to get myself to work out but it is much harder than I ever imagined it would be. I envy all you cross fit junkies and runners who make it look so easy. One day I will be back in shape but for now I am enjoying my sweet little ones and all that our life has to offer:)
