Carlee turns 3

Today is February 18th and it is Carlee's Birthday! I haven't posted in over a month, so I thought I would plop in random pictures and trips we went on recently, so enjoy! Also, I didn't jump at the chance like I thought I would to post our latest news, probably because it wasn't what we expected. We have known the news for a week and I am wanting another ultrasound to be sure, but we found out that our baby might be another GIRL! Carter almost threw up when he found out, I wished I had filmed his reaction, it was priceless. Anyway, we are extremely happy to be having another baby and I know that we will love it so much, even if it's another girl. I love my kids and know it is a blessing to be able to have them in my life. I really love my mom and have a new profound respect for her being able to put up with 3 daughters and all the DRAMA girls bring. I don't know how she ever did it and stayed composed, most of the time.


Carlee turned 3! She had a fun little party at McDonalds

She was into the Doodlebops forever, now it is DORA ,so go ahead and
blow out your candles! I can't believe she is already 3!

I Love all the little girls expressions!

My friend Rach, shovin it in, YUMMY!

This is my friend Andrea with her little girl. Baylee and her daughter are best friends!

SHe LOVES her new baby! It talks and sits on the potty. You also can flush the toilet.

Carter did such a great job in the pinewood Derby! Matt "helped" Carter with his car. I think Matt was just as excited as Carter if not more! They had a few problems with the wheels and had to super glue them right before we left. We were so glad the car made it down the track, surprisingly his car did really well overall. Thanks, DAD!

His car was winning! You can really see the engine shine.


His car was black #8 and had the silver engine in the front.

We went to Vegas the end of January and had such a fun time. The kids love to win stuffed animals at the arcades. Matt, Carter and Baylee rode 3 different 3-d stimulator rides, Matt was a little sick, because they rode one right after the other.

We had fun at Excalibur at the FUN Candy Shop!!

We stayed at the Luxor! It really wasn't the best hotel for kids! Me being a paranoid freak I was nervous every time we left our hotel room because the balcony was open and you can see down 5 million feet to the bottom of hotel! Baylee even tried to look over the railing. It is a beautiful hotel, I just wouldn't recommend the pyramid side for families.

There was a fun shopping center we went to that had a really fun kids playground!

It took us forever to drive to the Cheesecake Factory and eat. We love to eat there! The kids and Matt really love the banana cheesecake.

Baby

I haven't updated in quite a while. My pictures on my camera somehow didn't turn out from Christmas, so we are sad to say we do not have Pictures this year. Carter loves his electric guitar, and the girls love all their makeup, clothes, and toys they received from Santa. We were really blessed this past year in so many ways. We are expecting our 4th baby the end of June, and I have been pretty sick this first part of the pregnancy, but I am starting to feel better. I don't remember ever getting this sick with my other kids. All of the kids are excited and I am actually thrilled because I know each one of them is going to be so helpful, especially because Carter and Baylee already do so much for me right now. Carlee says she is going to dress it feed it and change it's bum. I am sure she will be such a great help with the baby because she is so loving. We will be able to find out what we are having in a few weeks!

Thanksgiving in Idaho

We Had a wonderful time in Idaho for Thanksgiving. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I am so thankful for my kids and my wonderful husband that does so much for our family. I am not sure if I am going to get Christmas cards out, so MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS from the Anderson Family!

This is the DesFosses Family side

Kaitlynn is such a beautiful girl. Baylee just loves her. I can't believe Kaitlynn is in high school and a cheerleader at Century.

Fun Aunt Ginger and Baylee

What a good Grandpa helping the kids wash their hands.

Dylan and Carter had so much fun playing together.

Crazy girls

I know Twilight Stars!

I was able to meet Twilight Stars! I know everyone is jealous! They weren't the main stars, but it was fun. They were filming a new movie, which I was able to be an extra in, along with my mother-in-law and bro.-in-law! Crazy fun! Anyway this is Bella's stepdad, Phil, who also played with George Clooney in the Leatherheads. Below him is Mike newton, Bella's friend, and below him is a picture of one of the pirates from Pirates of the Carribean movie. So, now I really can't wait to see the movie Twilight!

HALLOWEEN

We have had an exciting last couple of weeks. Baylee and Carter have had singing performance at school, different Halloween parties and events, adopted a cat for 3 days, and Baylee had tubes put in her ears. On top of all this, it's that time of year when kids get sick, and at least one child has been sick everyday this week!! Sick or not we still manage to have fun.!

Carter's first choice of costume was Ironman, but it was way too tight and looked like it hurt in certain areas. Unfortunatly, the biggest size was the one Carter had, so he had to settle on an alien. Baylee was a pretty vampire princess, and Carlee was Snow White. We had so much fun

Carter Turns Eight

We have had such a crazy past couple of weeks. Carter has had a birthday and has been Baptized. Baylee had a cheer camp and performance. Although things have been crazy, I am so proud of Carter and his decision to be Baptized by his great Dad. Matt and I have been blessed with a wonderful family. We love them all so much! This family picture was taken by my dad, who had no clue how to use my camera. We were laughing and looking at someone else, that's why I look wide eyed. When I get a better family picture from my mother-in -law I will change it.

Carter had such a great birthday party at the bowling alley and arcade. He enjoyed every minute of it.
His Iron Man cake. I can't believe how good it was! Yummy!
