Power tools and stuffed animals

The baby started off the day wanting to wear this hat, 

so he did...all day. 

He wore it during breakfast, to my office, playing outside, and even shopping.

I love this pic because he is using his power tool on a stuffed animal.

Hilarious! 

Such a boy.

 That and he looks freaking adorable with his long golden locks. 

I can't get myself to take him to get a hair cut. 

I love it.

Kylah :: 15 Years

I can't believe that Kylah is already 15 years old.

Soon she will be driving!

We went down south to visit family and celebrate early.

It was great to see everyone and that made it all the more special. 

She got lots of awesome presents

 and got to spend time with alot of the special people in her life.

We spent her big day relaxing and

 she got to open 15 presents throughout the day. 

It was fun! 

Lucky girl.

She also had a sleepover with her close girlfriends. 

They had dinner, tie dyed shirts, made smores by the fire, 

lit sparklers, danced, played volleyball and got no sleep. 

Til next year.....she will have her license.

 That scares me!

Yummy cakes! Thanks Annie.

My mom hooked us up!

15 presents!

Brenden was 20 months that day!

Posing before tie dying the shirts.

Sparkler time. You would never know they were 15. Oh girls!

Smores. Yum.

Baby just wanted to hang out too!

Her new babies! Thanks.

Cute Polaroid camera.

They turned out pretty nice.

Happy 15th Birthday Kylah and Happy 20 Month Birthday Brenden

Today I have a 15 year old and a 20 month old!

 Yes, that is crazy. However, I love it!

Brenden is getting so big, talking a lot, no more baby gates or high chairs.

 He sleeps in his toddler bed 

and ours of course...oh yeah we moved it to our room. 

His all time favorite thing to do now...watch cartoons.

 OMG! He wakes up, gets the remote, points to the t.v and says "toons."

 It's pretty ridiculous. 

He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, and Chuggington only! 

He still eats everything and is more of a goofball ever...

with his silly faces and expressions.

Since Kylah is not done with her birthday celebrations, 

I will wait til they are over and do a big post later.

Enjoy!

Kylah at 20 months. She looks so much older than Brenden now...maybe it was all of that hair.

 

Brenden at 20 Months

He smiles with his whole face.

Someone was all into blowing sissy's candles.

Summer Updates

It's been awhile since my last post! 

The Andersens have been pretty busy this summer.

 Ryan was on vacation for 2 weeks,

 my parents came to visit for 2 weeks,

 Kylah started volleyball conditioning for high school,

 and I am just trying to balance home, work and kids.
Oh yeah, and I have found Instagram.

 Whew! 

Also, lots of baby updates...

Enjoy!

He smiles with his whole face!

We joined the Country Club and have been enjoying every minute of it. Baby loves the baby pool!

Playing at Country Club daycare. First time ever with anyone else. He did great! We get a chance to workout at the gym, play tennis, hit golf balls, lounge at the pool, or just go to one of the restaturants.

First time on a swing!

Wanting to be a big boy and climb to the top!

Ryan and I are getting back into the swing of things.

Using utensils well!

Goodbye highchair!

Vball started so baby and I have been spending lots of shopping time in Napa.

Playing outdoors with Papa!

Family photo session

I love this picture! We went to take a walk through this sunflower patch.

Trying to get dirty... of course.

Real Estate has been so fun for me. I get to make my own schedule and stay home with the baby as well as just run down the street to the office anytime. Love it!

No smile here!

Happy 4th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary my sweets

 It's been a wonderful 4 years together. You are more amazing than ever and are the greatest husband and daddy

Thank you for my wonderful life.  I am the luckiest

Since my parents were visiting, we had some free time away from the baby. So, we celebrated today in Napa at Clos Du Val Winery and had a wine country picnic. The weather was beautiful and we even got great pictures. It felt like our engagement session all over again. We ended the day at a local Italian restaurant and had a nice dinner with my parents. And of course...had to finish the night off watching our wedding DVD. So sweet. It was a very special day!

                             

Brenden : : 19 Months

Happy 19th Month Birthday My Love... and Happy 4th of July!

+  Stats:  25 lbs... Thick and Meaty :)

+  Eats everything still. This month he loves mangoes, smoked gouda, and olives. Whipped Cream and marsh (marshmellows) are his favs.

+  He is into everything. Baby is dangerous... balances on chairs, tables, trucks....he loves his peddle car, tools, and his baby blue teddy bear. Loves to dance and put on a show. 

+ New words...wata (water), eat, sit, kiss, spoon

+  We transitioned his crib into a toddler day bed and transferred it into our room. Now his bedroom is another playroom. LOL. He loves to say Mama 24 hours a day....and only wants me! AHHHHHHH! Good thing he is so freaking adorable.
