Christmas tree

Looking for our tree in the woods in Portland is so exciting to me. It was a cold morning but we got our tree.Parker found our tree for next year!! Maybe it will be bigger

Thanksgiving 2011

Well another crazy holiday. We had just moved back to Portland and Grandpa and Uncle Jason came for a visit. I made Pecan Pie, Macaroni and cheese, turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. I had a salad but it never got made. Loving our new home.

Mac and cheese with butternut squash blended in to make it more healthy. Everyone voted for the unhealthy version better.
Adam's Turkey
Pecan Pie... Oh it was so good!!

Baby Boden and his first Thanksgiving

So Thankful to be back in Portland with friends and family, and thankful to have made new ones in Denver. Miss you Denver!

HALLOWEEN!

Halloween has evolved from doing nothing to full trick or treating. We were so sure we wouldn't do Halloween when we had kids, but this year was the first year Parker went full trick or treating and he LOVED it!Morning started off with a cupcake

And big baby smilesTrick or treating with a dragon and a giraffe

We went with our neighbor friends, Mara & Brenden
Parker ran from house to house!
Now we are in for it, he is so excited for next year already.
Happy Halloween!!

First Snow of the season

It snowed last week here in Denver and we decided to play a little.Parker all bundled up
It was about 6"
Boden's first snow,
I don't think he liked it as much as we did

Going to snow again this week.. come on winter!

Another Pumpkin Patch

We went to Anderson Farms this past weekend with Daddy this time. Perfect for our family, wish I had taken a picture in front of the sign.

So hard to get them both looking at the camera

Daddy and Parker in Jail

I tried to get Boden on the pumpkin like I did with Parker at his age


In the corn maze, man I hate those things we always get lost.
At least we didn't have to call 911

Boden is 4 months old

Baby Boden is 4 months oldHe is grabbing everything as you can see and rolling over and doing lots of babbling.
he is a big boy he weighs 16lbs and not sure of his length but I am sure it is long. He is growing so fast. Such a great personality, loves his brother and all his toys.

Auntie came to town

We were so excited that my sister Britt came to visit us. First thing we did was go out on a girls night and have fun. (As you can see I was pretty excited to go out with out kids!)

We went to a pumpkin patch, Parker loved cutting his own pumpkin.

There were lots of animals to see, you can't tell in this picture but they were there.
It was Boden's first Pumpkin patch too.

We had such a good time with our Auntie. Wish we could see her more often!
Thanks for coming and spoiling us all!!

Boden is 3 months

Our Big baby is 3 months old now!

He smiles all the time and is so good about being dragged everywhere.
No tricks yet, he rolled over once but I think it was a mistake.

He LOVES chewing on his hands, he has them in his mouth every chance he can.

He is 14lb and is 23in long. (Doesn't miss a meal)
we love our nugget!!

Parkers first day of school

Oh My little cutie started school today for the first time. I was a little sad to see him go but he loved it.

It is so amazing how fast time goes, it feels like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.
Love you our big boy!

Boden is 2 months old

It is so amazing to watch him grow. I cant believe it was 2 moths ago I was in the hospital. Time sure does fly.

I wanted to compare him to Parker at 2 months.

(Here is Parker at 2 months, they look the so similar to me.)

Parkers 3rd Birthday Party

I can't believe just three years ago we had our little nugget.
Here is a picture of him when he was born.
We had a great birthday party at Chuck E Cheese
Parker had a hard time waiting till the song was over!Chuck E is our new favorite friend!
Thank you everyone for such a special day, He loved it all!!

4th of July

I love the 4th, it is such a fun family day. We went on a picnic at some park (I can't seem to remember the name). We didn't make it to fireworks but we heard them after we got home. Maybe next year we will be able to make it.

Boden having a quick snack before we head out.
Boden slept through it all
Our first family outing just the 4 of us.
So much fun!

New Baby

We had our baby boy

Boden Asher Anderson

was born 6/17/11 at 2:45pm

He was 21.5 in long and weighed 8lb 4 oz
Birth was amazing, I went into labor Thursday night but it was not progressing so I was scheduled to be induced Friday morning so we went in at 7:30am.
I was given some drugs to help labor long, it worked right away. Got my epidural around 9am and relaxed for a few hours. Then I was ready to push, I pushed for 15 min. We were so amazed how quick and easy he came out just 3 pushes.
Our baby was perfect and healthy with tears in our eyes we welcomed our new little nugget or (I should say another mini Adam).

Shower Day

My Beloved friends gave me the most wonderful shower for my new baby boy. It was at a restaurant called Mothers. They did such a beautiful job decorating.

First to Angela's house

Waiting for all to arrive. The theme was Cirque De Bebe
With hot air balloons and all.

Beautiful prego Nicole Larson
