Memorial Day Weekend

My in-laws were here this past week and we had a blast! We met Joey at work for lunch, went bowling, went swimming, walked around the lake, went to Chuck E. Cheese, ate way too much and played hard. Thanks for the great week Nonni and Bobpa!

Ahhh the Excitement!

So any of you with children know the "excitement" that can occur at any time, in any place! It's loads of fun, most of the time. Here are a few of our "exciting" moments from the past week.

This is Spencer and his puffy eye...he got a hold of a peanut and touched his eye! We have found out in the past few weeks that the boys are allergic to all nuts. Obviously, I need to do a better job of keeping the nuts away from the boys.




This is what happens when I ask Hayden to play with the boys for five minutes so I can get in the shower. She really needs a sister!




We have pasta a lot at our house but if this is how Spencer is going to look when we get finished, I may start making it a lot less!

It's only 1!

A lot of people have asked if we are only having one baby this time and it looks like just one! We were so blessed with the birth of our twins and we love them so much but I'm very excited to have just one baby to hold and love and not have to split my time and attention.

Meanwhile, Back at the Baby Factory . . .

One of the joys of having twins is that I got very stretched out with the pregnancy. My body has tried to slim down and I've held my gut in for far too long. We received the exciting news that we are expecting Baby #4 and I would have waited to spread the news but my belly is doing the spreading for me! Baby Anderson will make its arrival in early December 2009.

Fun in the O.C.!!

What a great weekend! Saturday we spent the morning with one of my favorite people! My friend Tawni had a birthday and we spent the morning at the beach. It was so beautiful and so nice to spend time with some of our best friends, the Franklins and Galovans. After the beach, Hayden had her first t-ball game. The schedule was messed up and there were three teams ready to play. Our team, the Cubs (sorry Anderson family!), played our own team. I think it was a good thing for our kids though. They were able to get a hang of what the games will be like and I think we are going to give those other 4-year-olds a run for their money!

Me and my honey!

Lincoln loved the water. This is huge progress, considering last summer he wouldn't touch the sand or the water!

I just have to smile when Joey does stuff like this.

Hayden and her friend, Sofia.

I love this picture!

Hayden was a star at her first game! (Okay, fine, we thought she was a star...her stats don't confirm that she was a star, but she was our star!)

Running to 2nd base...


...and a high-five from Dad!

Happy Easter!

I hope you all had a great Easter. We had a fantastic day! We woke-up and had a family devotional on the true meaning of this wonderful day. I know the kids were excited for the treats from the Easter Bunny, but I wanted them to remember that we were celebrating the blessing of the Atonement of our Savior. Joey always does a great job teaching our children, he doesn't talk down to them but he says things in a way that helps them understand. After our devotional, we headed downstairs to find the baskets the Easter Bunny hid. We had a quiet morning then went to church. Of course, the talks were wonderful and I'm so grateful for the knowledge I have. I feel so blessed to know about the Savior and his life. We came home to a feast for dinner and had an Easter Egg Hunt in our backyard. It was a great day!

Easter Bunny!

I took the kids to see the Easter Bunny yesterday. It was fun and they all look happy but Spencer's smile is only a reaction to me saying, "If you don't cry, I'll get you a treat!"
