Two Monkeys

That's right you read the blog correctly, I'm expecting a new addition to the family. I'm due at the end of August and we just found out that Anderson is going to have a baby brother!! Everything is going smoothly and the baby is very healthy. No belly pics to post yet, but I'll but sure to take some soon.

Coffeehouse Friday

By the time you get to Friday it always seems like a little treat is required. This morning Anderson and I played "coffee shop" for breakfast. All we needed was a little background music for ambiance.



We've also been pulling out our wagon whenever possible. Great-grandma gave us one that has a push/pull feature. So awesome. It's way easier to push Anderson and see what he's doing than tugging him behind me!

Camera Ready

It's been awhile since I've posted some Anderson pics, and here's why:

Before when you would tell Anderson, "say cheese!", you'd get pictures like this:



And now I get a totally cheesy grin!! Be on the lookout, I think I have a ham on my hands!!

Spring in Springfield

This past weekend we went down with our friends the Obrists to visit Davis (and his parents) for his 1st birthday. Last time these two guys got together they pretty much stared at each other from their tummies! How different it was this time -- they rode in the wagon together, played together and even gave hugs and kisses. We can't wait to visit again!!

must stop pit-stop -- Osceola Cheese!

who's driving this thing??

I don't walk anymore....just run

football anyone??

I'm not sure who enjoyed the swing set more, the kids or parents!!

Getting older

Anderson had his 15mo appointment this week, and I'm glad to report that he's doing great. Ok, minus the double ear infection we have. Yuck. He's in the 40% for both weight and height. Hmmm, I think he must be carrying some of that weight in his cheeks. :)

Apparently 15mo is the age when you have to start carrying your weight around the house. As you can see, Anderson has already been put to work on the dishes and is even having to help mom with the cooking. Yikes!

Birthday fun!

So I start a new decade today. Yikes! Of course I don't feel any different, but I could have sworn that something terrible was going to happen when I crossed that 30 threshold. What can be bad about 30 when you get cheesy moments like this:



We had such a great weekend! My amazing friends Ali and Debbie came up to help me celebrate. We watched the KU game, went to dinner and checked out the new Oread (of course we brought the men along). Anderson stayed back to hang out with his buddy Simon -- now the sharing part came later after Anderson got used to the idea of Simon using his toys. Then on Sunday evening Tim surprised me by having my brothers and Kristen and Holly come over for dinner and cake. How awesome! Surrounded by people I love all weekend, now that's enough to make a girl forget about the dreaded 30!!

Romantic Dinner

Nothing says "Valentine's Day" like a romantic dinner out -- plus one!
