We finally made it to the Zoo

Well it only takes a half hour to get us all unloaded and out of the car, and we were off to see the animals....


Devron and Derek were worried about their ultra violet rays so they wore protective gear....


Then Ellie waited patiently while....


The boys and I rode the carousel! That was really fun for Owen, he giggled the hole way


The family measured up


Hung out with Gorillas


And almost got eaten by lions! Scary!



All in all it was fun, the kids has a blast and I was pooped by the end of the day.

Asher turned 4 Years old!!!

The morning started with Asher running outside and playing on his birthday present from mom and dad, Asher and Owen even got to eat Oatmeal on the picnic table under the fort.


The Lightning McQueen Birthday Party started at 4:00 and we played Red Light Green Light



Then we ate Hamburgers and Hot dogs with all our friends


We all took a few turns on the pinata before it busted


Then it was cake and Ice cream time, I have to say making your own cake takes alot of time, but I sure was proud of the end product.


Asher got a ton of cool presents from a remote control helicopter to matchbox cars and even play dough, he has played with everything non stop since his birthday


Then we knew the party was over when Cousin Tavin took his pants off!

Someone for hire....

Well I am lucky enough to know some pretty cool people in my life, And someone I have known for a few years now, is brave enough to show her talents, I have to say I am jealous of her, I wish I could take pictures like she can, maybe she will teach me...Camille....
Being a mom, there is nothing you want more than to capture you kids growing up, weather it be little everyday things or when you try to get some really good family photos.
Camille was kind enough to bare the 2 and 1/2 hour drive to do just that, and Kelly as well, he was kind of the go-to guy, he made Owen smile which I was doubting would be done. He also helped haul my whole family around the entire town, and it was about 100 degrees outside which didn't help anything.
Thank you both so much.





My kids really didn't want to cooperate, so seeing these pictures makes me think 2 things, I have really cute kids and I am really happy to have friends. If you want some really awesome photos I might give you Camille's number, she is thinking of making a business out of this.

A name and a blessing

What a lovely Sunday, We were at the church by 11:30 (barely on time) Devron gave the best blessing I have ever heard. Then Eliza's cousin Cooper was also blessed with her on the same day, in the same church! Fun!



Then we went over to the Mendon Station to have a great lunch of BBQ Pork and wonderful salads and desserts. Yummy Yummy!



But the fun didn't stop there, it was picture time! The weather was perfect and we had lots of family stay for the evening with us. It was a good time to catch up with everyone.



I think we were having so much fun that some of the guests, Molly and Abby Byrnes (2 of the cutest girls I know), couldn't resist a nap...



and at the end of the night, we enjoyed a story by uncle Mike and then I think moments later my boys were fast asleep.

Summer Time

Alright, it has been forever since I have wrote anything, and I am so sorry about that, this summer is flying by! We have been busy doing lots of fun things, these pics are a little out of order, but its the best I could do....I have 3 kids, I am busy!


Here is the boys at Bear Lake, we went here a few times this year, this is when we went with all the Andersen's. We had a blast with all that sand and water.


The boys went out and met a bunch of famous Real Salt Lake players, Here is a pic with Yura Movsisyan!


And here is a Pic next to the Rocky Mountain Cup!


While the boys went out, the girls stayed in, this is a bad picture but we painted our toes!


Here we are at Willow park Zoo, we brought some cousins along, Tiana, Royden and Gideon!

And here is Ellie, pretty in pink


Oh she is a cutie!

The much anticipated pictures

Alright, Mom I am sorry this took so long, but here she is. Eliza Jayne Andersen was born on the 16th! At 5:48 AM. She was 6 pounds 14 ounces, 19 inches long, She is such a good baby, she loves to cuddle, and she smiles at me sometimes (which I know she dosn't really have control of yet) but I just melt. She has one dimple on her left cheek, which is really cute! And she is just fun to have as part of our family.

I can't believe I have 3 kids! That is making me feel a little bit aged, but it was pretty funny at the hospital when I told all the nurses that it was my 3ed they all looked pretty suprized. Most of them had asked so is this your 1st? Oh, good times. Alright, enough about me, check out the pictures!

We can't name our girl!!!

We haven't named her, we barely agree on anything, and I am starting to feel like this...


So, it has come down to a vote, Devron and I have decided that we just can't decide. So I have narrowed it down to two and I want everyones help. Now I have to say that I feel really good about both of these names so don't tell me any horror stories or reasons to not name my kid that, because I don't let go of things like that easily. However, I would love to hear you tell us why you do like one or the other of these. And if you don't like either well then your crazy in my book. So this might help you vote, I do know that her middle name will be Jane so just imagine that to help you decide. Ok so it is between Ally or Eliza, and for short she might get called Ellie. Tell me your thoughts...if you don't have a blog account email or call us. We want to hear from you!
