May 2009

Life has been so busy this past month. We have sold our home and moved- (which is not very fun doing in this heat and being very pregnant) We love our new house and all the room we have. We've had family and cousins visit us over Memorial weekend and Baylee had a fun birthday party at one of the water splash parks. The kids are glad that school is almost out-I am glad there is a new outdoor water splash park to take the kids to this summer. It's nice not to put a swimsuit on if I don't want to.

Some of their cousins and friends at the Birthday Party!

Cute little cousin Sunny

Skyler's swimsiuit is falling off and her look is so funny-nice red cheeks girls!

Baylee is in love with Taylor Swift and Twilight. She has watched the movie 5 million times. She loves all of her gifts she recieved especially the Taylor Swift doll- thanks Tammy and Brody!

I love this CRAZY life

I am finally convinced as kids get older the crazier life gets. People have been telling me this forever- "Life gets more hectic and expensive the older they get- now I am starting to understand. It seems like we are running here running there. There's football, basketball, dance, scouts, guitar, just to mention a few. Oh, and I forgot to mention homework every night. And this is just 2 of my kids schedules, I can't wait til I add 2 more into the craziness. I am not complaining because I love staying busy, I love my kids being involved, and I am so thankful I can be there to take them, but I think lately me being prego, things tend to get overwhelming and exhausting. life is definately going too fast for me. I guess I need to hang on for the ride and enjoy every minute with those I love.



The last few weeks we have had tons of our family come visit! It has been great! Here are a few pictures of all the fun! My kids love seeing their cousins, and can't wait to see more of them this week!

I thought I took more pictures of the cousins while they were here, but I only took a couple. I was trying to find a camera while Matt's sister was here as well, but of course I didn't find one and I didn't have mine. I wish I had taken pictures because we were having so much fun with all of them it was fun-anyway here are a couple pictues of my sister's kids and mine.

Carter does such a great job playing football. He made a great catch on this play. It is so fun to play on this beautiful new turf.

His Dad helping him practice, nice throw Dad!

This was at a Scout function. Carlee got right in there with the horses. Miss Cowgirl!

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.
