Anderson update

All buckled in ready to fly

The land is cleared, maybe there will be a house on it one day.

Spring is in the air

All the happenings

Our sweet Valentine!!

Future home of 16 Carina Lane and the site of our new house-

Cool men doing all sorts of stunts- but see that little contraption in the boys hand- we almost had a melt down because we wouldn't spend 25 dollars on a toy he would play with for 3 days.

Elephants- Parker favorite part

Body benders

The circus

I wonder what he wished for?

Birthday boy

For mom- A purse I made. I was helping critique a pattern.

7 months old!

A day of warm weather=playtime outdoors

Superman and Batman cape. I think every little boy would want one of these. He's ready to take on the world.

Thanks for the superman lunchbox Grandma and Grandpa! It holds all sorts of things.

The little bit of snow we did have. Parker was in HEAVEN! I kept asking if he wanted to come inside and he would always tell me no.

Oh the things I like to eat!

Meeting Santa

Santa arrived in town today at our local outdoor mall. Parker was so excited to go visit Santa, but he wouldn't even sit on his lap, not even for a lollipop. The only way we were going to get a picture was as a family.

See brother, Santa's not so bad....

Or maybe he is a little scary. Just don't look at him and everything will be all right.

Elder Rose is Home!

We are thrilled to have Jeffrey safely home from Argentina. We had a great day picking Jeff up at the airport and going to visit a member of the stake presidency for his release and enjoying dinner at home. We are looking forward to many enjoyable days together.

4 months

Where does time go. Emmy turned 4 months today!

What would you do with the Biggest Pumpkin?

According to Katie:

 

With the biggest pumpkin we could find at Wal-Mart this week I made pumpkin soup, pumpkin cake squares and pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie mix for the freezer--All of which were very tasty. Wish we could have shared some with all of you!

Bathroom Decor

 

 

So I'm getting close to redoing my bathroom decorations for just under $20 using stuff I already had, some clearance towels from Target and a little fabric. I spray painted some picture frames, covered them with fabric and made some flowers to add a little color, and made some curtains. Peter said it is a grandma bathroom because everything matches, but I think it is cute.

Fremont Peak Hike

The view was worth the climb.



Today we took a break from the laboring and went for a hike to Fremont Peak today. The view was nice, but the hike wasn't much. We probably only hiked up the hill about a mile. The trail was pretty well marked until we got to the last stretch and then we had to guess where the trail was. This place is located up above Pioneer Park in San Juan Bautista.

Dad figured out how to use the timer on his camera so we captured a shot of us sitting on top of Fremont Peak.

On a clear day you can see Monterey Bay in the background.

We saw quite a few of these little creatures along the way. The map did say we would see wildlife!

Blessing day

This one is from the other day, but it was too cute not to include.

Football

I didn't realize how big football is in the south until we went to the first game of the season. As we were driving we saw a lot of cars parked way down the road. They must have been a mile or so down the road. When we got to the game the stadium was packed. It was a sold out game- though we met some really nice people that gave us an extra ticket- who would have thought a 2 month old would need a ticket for a football game. Parker wasn't so excited at the beginning. It was NOISY- The loudest place I have ever been. They must really be in to football. Parker did enjoy the fireworks though, everytime our team scored a touchdown they would shoot fireworks off. We only stayed until half time since it was about 9:30 at that point in time, we had fun, but probably won't attempt it again for a while.

They had these cool caboose cars that people must rent out or something. They are equipped with a tv.

And just because she is so cute- Peek a boo.
