Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Hope this Valentino sweetens your day. 
We should have named him that:)

My new rashguard for Hawaii! And roses for the girls :)

For my sweet love's bar.

Baby has new kitchen utensils for his cupboard.

Nike Free Runs for the girl because she is not spoiled.

Super delicious. He always finds me something sweet!

Our breakfast... made especially for us from Ryan.

He didn't waste any time gobbling this down.

A latte to start us off right. We love our Nespresso!

Aren't these the cutest?

And the clownin' around begins....

Baby and I needed to go on our morning hike...and we made it!

It's a hard life!

Mr. Right!

What a beautiful day.

Time to play!

And as Mr. Andersen says...."Just because it's Valentine's Day doesn't mean I can't be productive.

So...we went to Home Depot and he installed a new security mailbox.

Happy Valentine's Day!

XOXO,

Tania

Brenden : : 14 Months

Happy 14 Month birthday my sweet love!

Stats Getting taller. And leaner. No exact numbers.

 

Favorite Foods

Fruit, fruit and more fruit. Loves, loves, loves blueberries and anything sweet.

Favorite Words

Others include 'uh oh', 'whoa' and 'hi'.

Favorite Toy

His cars and popcorn pusher. Loves reading!

Favorite Activities

Giving "mwah" kisses, dancing while stomping his feet, locking eyes and flirting with girls. He is such a goofball and clown...makes the silliest faces all of the time. Such a fun little guy!

 

Least Favorite Activities

Hanging out in his playpen and does not like us brushing his teeth. Hates, hates, hates it. But he will gladly suck on his toothbrush and pretend to do it himself.

Signature Moves

He has a few new dance moves including, The Booty Drop and Stomping Your Feet. As soon as I can capture them all on video, you'll see. So freaking hilarious.

Other 14 Month Notables

+ He has mastered what we call the "fake" laugh. He can't stand to be left out of any joke. If you laugh, he laughs and it sounds soooo sarcastic. He also has his real laugh. It's the best.
+ Breastfeeding in the morning, noon and night before bed. Also whenever he wakes up at night which could be anywhere from 1-3 times. Sigh. At least he stays asleep the whole time.
+ Has 8 chompers and will eat anything we eat. It's awesome. This kid has saved us so much money...no bottles, no formula, no baby food and he has used his infant car seat for 14 months.


XOXO,

Tania

Superbowl Sunday

It was gloomy and rainy all day, so besides Kylah's early morning practice...we stayed home all day. These kind of days are my favorite. I love when everyone is home together and we just do nothing. That makes me happy!

To get us in the Superbowl mood, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Ryan made us a Latte Macchiato to get us started. The baby stayed in his pj's all day. I made cookies, pizza nachos for lunch and meatballs, pretzel bites and not really mozzarella sticks (baked instead of fried and they melted) for dinner. But, trying to still eat healthy...I made a spinach, mango, banana and blueberry smoothie. Even the baby loved it!

Oh yeah, the game was kind of boring, but the halftime show was pretty good. 

Go Seahawks! 

 XOXO,

5 Things

We have been so busy around here! Here is what's been going on. 

Enjoy!

1.  Yes....it really is a truck. I have seen these truck parts in the backyard for years now and it is finally turning into a truck. All of the parts have gone away and are at the shop now. It is slowly coming together. My love is very excited about it all. He spends his Date Day Fridays at the shop helping them.  Hmmmmm.

  

2.  Volleyball Season has taken over and now my little guy loves watching his sissy play. We will be playing in Sacramento all next weekend!

 3.  Our little man is growing up so quickly. Our house is officially baby proof...with gates and cabinet and drawer latches. Somehow he still finds a way to get in. That boy is so strong and has a little temper. He has also upgraded from his infant car seat to his big boy seat. It took some time for me to find the perfect safest one. :( It makes me sad. However, at 13 months he got a lot of use of it. Kylah switched at 8 months. He is still a shorty.

4. Getting ready for our Spring Break Hawaii vacation!!! My little love and I go for a walk/run up this hill every morning with my friend Stacie. It is brutal because it is very steep and I have to push up 40+ pounds of baby and stroller...but when we reach the top it is amazing. The view is priceless and it gets our day started right. 

5.  Baby B is such a joy and loves playing outdoors. Oooh he is so energetic all of the time. Check out the last picture of him and daddy with their beer koozies. Yes, this is what I have to deal with. I can just see my future with these guys. Good thing I love them soooooo much.

XOXO, 

Tania
