Family Picture

We were at a family Christmas party and thought, "lets go outside and get a quick picture of the family'.

Sounded easy enough...NOPE.

Oh well... We tried.

4th of July

The 4th of July is one of my most favorite holidays. Christmas is my favorite, but the 4th of July is pretty darn close.

This year we were so lucky to spend the 4th with Matt's sister and her family in Carson City, NV. They are even luckier to live about 15 to 20 minutes away from Lake Tahoe. We had so much fun. Our trip was filled with trips to Sand Harbor Beach, crayfish catching, paddle boating, Eclipse watching, Shopping on the California side of Tahoe, Firework watching, shopping in Reno, and last but not least tons of fun, eating, talking, laughing, and joking around. We really miss Trish and her family and wish they lived closer. My kids adore their cousins and wish they got to spend more time with them, but we are thankful they are only 8 hours away and that we are able to visit more then we did when they were in Boston.

Our camera is broken so Trish was nice enough to take tons of pictures and send me some. THANKS TRISH!!!

Here are some pictures of our trip.

I NEED A VACATION!!!

Soon we will be headed to see Matt's sister and her family in Carson City, Nevada. Let me tell you, I so need this vacation. I have been feeling so tired and rundown lately that this is exactly what I need. I mean seriously how can you not relax when you get to hang out here with some of your favorite people.




I CAN'T WAIT!

CUTE FACES

MK turns 5!

Our oldest turned 5 on Saturday. I still can't believe she is going into kindergarten in the fall. Seriously where has the time gone? I remember when I got pregnant with her. Matt and I had only been married for a few months when I found out I was pregnant. I was feeling really tired and was craving green apples and sour apple jolly ranchers. I told Matt that it was weird becuase I had never craved anything ever in my life. He said "maybe you are pregnant." I thought to myself counting in my head... Maybe I am. Sure enough I was and our little family began.

Makaylee has been a true delight in our family. She amazes us with her sense of humor and her abilitly to learn. She seriously absorbs everything she hears and learns and is really smart. She is my little helper but is definitly a daddy's girl. She is a wonderful big sister and truly is a blessing in our lives. We love her so much and are very proud of her. Happy 5th B-day MK!!

Here are some pics of her birthday party at Grandma and Papa Anderson's house.

EASTER TIME HAS ARRIVED AND SO HAS MY FAVORITE CANDY!

This is my favorite Easter candy. It has taken me awhile to find them in the stores. I have only found them at Harmons (thanks Aunt Shauna for telling me were to find them) and Target. I get a headache if I eat more then 3 at a time, but I LOVE THEM!!!
