A day with my Bubby!

I had the day off, which doesn't happen very often. It was a rainy day but I decided to take Anderson to the Library and the Duck pond. We had so much fun!

 After we were done playing I took him to IHOP for some Pancakes:)

Happy Valentine's Day

We decided to have a fun and simple Valentine's Day and we decided that Valentine's Day should be about LOVE and spending time with those you love. With that being said, we have decided to always include Anderson (and our other children) in our Valentine's day celebrations.

I had Activity days with the Girls in our ward. We decorated Cookies. Arent they Adorable!!!

 I came home and found these beautiful flowers and chocolate covered strawberries on the table. Patick came home from work to his fun loot as well. We took Anderson to The Black Bear Diner for Dessert. It was so yummy and just a fun and relaxing dinner.

 When we got home, We popped him in the bath

 We got him dressed and played with toys and hung out. I took these silly pictures of him.

On a side note, For Cooking Club, we celebrated Valentines day. So those coming were asked to bring anyting red, Chocolatey or Valentiney!
 Paul and Blythe had a Fondue Themed Valentines day so the day after Valentine's day, they brought us dessert. Cedric was intrigued!

Yardwork with Dada

There are going to be MANY posts about Patrick and Anderson working in the yard together. This will go down as a first of 2012:) I was making dinner. Patrick came home, took Anderson to his room, changed him into his Carhart overalls and headed to the backyard to get to work. I loved making dinner and watching from the window. Anderson was so cute as he tried to keep up with his dada who was digging and hauling dirt away to another location in the yeard. We have some BIG PLANS for the backyard this year and are excited about making it a fun environment for Anderson and a place we can entertain our friends.
 It started raining, but the boys didn't mind at all. The kept to their work.
 Anderson's hands were frozen and red by the time they were through.
 We brought him inside, got him showered and a drink of Mega Greens was in order:)

SO MANY PICTURES!!!

Too Many, Actually...I take TOO MANY PICTURES...(if that is even possible...which, in my world is not possible) I am so behind on blogging. Our computer has been acting funny and we are about to wipe it clean and upgrade to Windows 7. I have been reluctant because I don't want to lose any pictures and I have a system for blogging and don't want the upgrade to interrupt my blogging. So....here are a TON of random collages and pictures. HERE GOES.....

Anderson started getting really quiet and quit saying words and talking so I got him this sound box and microphone to try and encourage him to use his voice...Let's just say, there is nothing wrong with his voice and I have since hidden the sound machine....lol
 We had a play date with a bunch of boys in the neighborhood. It was a blast!
 Anderson LOVES his friend, Noah's Cozy Coupe!
 Our friend's Bill and Michelle just welcomed a new baby girl into their family. We love cuddling with Baby Annie and Anderson is so gentle and soft and loves to give her hugs and touch her.
 Just some randome faces!
 Anderson's favorite place to frequent is the Munchkin Playland Cafe.
 He worried me when he started to climb this "store"
 So I pulled him over to the bigger toys...he loved it!
 His favorites are the slides!
Patrick went snow camping with the boys in our ward for the weekend. Here he is all ready with his gear.
 He said goodbye to his Bubby:)
Anderson and I had fun on our first overnighter together. He took me on a date to Panera Bread. He loved eating his apple and we sat next to the fire and enjoyed our delicious meal!
 I LOVE THIS KID!


 My Guys!
 Patrick returned from Hoodoo and was Branded:)
 I finally got Anderson's wagon put together from Christmas. He and Nick LOVE IT!!! I love getting out and walking with the boys.

Auntie Cori Brought Anderson 2 Paper Jamz Guitars!!!..HE LOVES THEM...Here they are rockin' out!
 We watching my brother, Andy's Kids for a night. Anderson LOVES his cousins. We went to Krispy Kreme and had fun playing with all of their fun toys!
 Andesron and his buddy Nick love to snuggle and to make lots of noise. on this day we got out the pots and pans and had a noisy blast!
 We found this COZY TRUCK at Costco for an amazingly great price so we picked it up for Anderson. He loves to sit in it...and will do so for HOURS!
 It was raining and we decided to let Anderson walk on the wet pavement...we do live in Oregon after all and thought he should learn to love the rain and puddles as much as we do.
 He was only out for a few minutes before we bundled him up and took him on a walk to really stomp through puddles...He and Dada found a worm...He loved it and wouldn't leave it alone. HE WAS SOAKED BY THE END OF THE WALK.

Patrick and I love to tip toe into Anderson's room after he has fallen asleep and watch him. I usually always snap a picture. These are a few of my favorites:)
