Spring is in the air

All I want to do is to start packing for Kauai!

Can't wait to explore this new island with my loves.

But I can't complain, 

the weather up here has been beautiful 

and we have been spending lots of time outdoors.

From removing the rest of the pine stumps, 

planting lots of fruit trees, 

going on bike rides,

playing in the water, and

riding in the golf cart everyday.

AND...Kylah got her driver's permit!

I can't even talk about that right now because it seems unreal to me. 

Ryan is working so much over time working on this special project at work.

So much, they refer to them as The Money Team!

Work for me has been gratifying, I really enjoy it and love that I make my own schedule and am still able to be at home with B. 

Baby and I drove down south by ourselves 

to visit my grandpa after his hip surgery. 

The surgery went well and the baby was sooooo good on the drive. 

My parents loved every minute of being with him. 

He talks more and more everyday and is such a big boy. 

It's amazing watching him grow up and know that this time will fly by.

Enjoy! 

3 generations of Andersens

Playing in dirt is his favorite

Loves sitting on the fence

Checking out the freshly cut vines

Picking out fruit trees

And getting dirty of course

Lemon, lime and orange trees went up

We can't wait for the cherry trees to grow

Apricot trees are starting to flower

Sporting Daddy's money team hat

We love riding in the golf cart everyday!

Where's the baby? He loves riding around in this.

Such a boy!

Sunny days!

Happy St. Paddy's Day

President's Day Reno Tournament

We are back from Reno!

The drive up was beautiful and not much snow for this time of the year.

Baby slept the entire 3 hours...which was awesome for us.

We basically had volleyball all morning til 3 and then were free after that. 

That means playtime for the parents. 

It was fun!

Usually, we stay at the Atlantis which is connected to the convention center ...

so we never had to move our car. 

That made it easy with the baby!

But this time we stayed at the Peppermill, 

which seemed more like a Vegas hotel.

It was very Tuscany and spacious, 

but the convenience of not being so close was very different. 

I mean it was only down the road, but having to walk to your car 

and put B in his car seat every time got old.

So Atlantis it is for April!

Such a beautiful drive up!

Brenden do it!

First trip to Cabela's!

Camo everything!

Girls team dinner

Hanging out with the boys! His smile is hilarious.

This is what they do during games!

Suddenly, he loves swords.

Love him!

 

 

 

Life just happens

So much has happened just this month 

and I am finally catching up.

Ryan went to New York for the NYPD funeral and

even though he was sick like a dog, he got a chance to spend some time hanging out with his sister.

Baby and Kylah got sick for the first time in forever while he was gone

 and I really felt what it was like to be a single mom again.

Our trampoline has been so fun and gets used everyday.

Early stages of potty training have begun.

Club volleyball is in full swing and our schedule is very busy.

This season we are going to Reno 3 times and off to Florida this summer....

that means Disney World here we come.

So, my travel agent skills are really being put to the test.

Besides those trips, we are finally going to visit the island of Kauai

 for spring break

 and planning our first cruise to the Bahamas or Caribbean in the Fall

So like Ryan says, I have lots of houses to sale! 

He was suppose to go back to patrol this month

 and finally put on one of those uniforms, 

but he got pulled out to be on a special project...so in the office he stays.

I am not complaining!

However, he stays busy with house projects and always has a list.

We had a great time with friends at Justin Siena's crab feed and 

our 2 Monterey pine trees are being cut down today

 because they are basically dead. 

It's a sad day because they are 50 years old and so beautiful, 

but it was their time. 

Looking forward to our outdoor kitchen and cherry trees to replace them.

The baby is so busy and energetic. 

He talks to so much and has quite the personality. 

I don't know where he gets it from!

He is determined, stubborn, very silly, but oh so sweet and loves to learn. 

These days all we hear are....Brenden do it, Brenden big boy, no stop it!

 

Love him!

Super silly all of the time

Starting this

He loves jumping

Tot school

Goodbye trees

Last one!
