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!

Easter Arrived!

The Easter Bunny Came! They got a wagon, wheelbarrels, shovels and rakes-and for 2 boys you couldn't ask for more- outside that is all they want to play with, a book a movie and tons of candy.


The Boys couldn't wait to play with their wheelbarrels, they wheeled those around all morning long!


Owen discovered the candy that was brought to him, and was pretty serious about not sharing, and eating as much as he could. If you look closely, you can see his secret pile of candy behind him.


On Saturday they had an easter egg hunt at the town square, it is really just a big empty field but for the little kids it is just right, but I think we should call it an easter egg grab, there was no hunting involved.


I was worried for nothing, Owen did a really great job, and got a ton of eggs.


After everything we played outside with our new bubble wands


It was so fun to hear their giggles and owen yelling BUBBLES!

We also frosted cookies, which I have learned my boys could care less about, infact Owen hated it, but Ashers cookie was cute even though he only spent 5 seconds on it. And we colored easter eggs too, that was really fun for the kids, I think we have a few scientists on our hands, they held the eggs really carefully and loved to lift them up out of the glass to see the color changes. It was allot of fun. We had a really good easter weekend!

Finally feeling like spring

Well it is getting warmer here in Cache Valley and you can usually find us outside! The past few days are actually over 60 degrees and it has been so nice to be in the yard. So Devron decided that we needed to build a shed, and of coarse the boys wanted to help out. They were being so cute I had to take some pictures!


Asher with his Lawn Mower


Asher showing me he has a cool shovel


Boys digging, they did this for over 2 hours!


Owen getting dirty


And of coarse Dev hard at work!

Shamwow! We are suckers!

First I will defend myself and Devron, and let you know that we never buy junk on TV, Second I think that Devron is a very clean person and cleaning things excite him, and me too alittle. Third, the commercial is really convincing, really really convincing.

So we bought Shamwow, patiently waited for 2 weeks for shipping and finally they came.....

Now with the 2 young boys that I have I am sure that you can imagine, we got using these things rightaway, with various milk spills, of coarse my diet coke, and just plan water. We followed the instructions, there are a few, and we do all the things they ask us to like don't dry them and what not.

Now here comes the disapointment, they suck, they don't even do as good of a job as my very own walmart purchased washcloths where you get 20 for like 5 dollars.

So I am putting this on here to vent alittle but also to warn all you folks out there that get sucked into the occasional infomercial that is so captivating. Don't buy Shamwow, it is more like SKamwow!

Now before I go the only good thing I can say is when there is nothing else they do work somewhat, but just don't buy them they are no miracle.
