Wet Boys

What do you do when your kids are restless but you don't have enough energy to take them to the park and the grass just finished growing in so you don't have a swing set set up yet? You let them strip down to their undies and diaper and "wash their car!"

They loved this and were at it for over an hour


Of course washing the car turned into splashing each other and emptying the buckets as fast as they could and asking for more water


They were giggling their heads off, it was so cute


I love that Evan is big enough now to really start playing with Christian, I can tell they are going to be good buddies

Summerfest

Oh dear Summerfest how I love you! I have so many great memories from high school spent at Summerfest and now have even more with my little family. We braved the weather and actually made it through without getting wet, we were at home for naps when it was raining. But we bundled the kids up and stayed for the parade and fireworks too. The boys loved the rides and couldn't get enough.

Don't you love Evan's face in this pic, he love ringing the bell. I think the guy who ran the ride should get a raise because all the kids loved the bells and I would have had a headache in about 5 minutes.


Me and Evan on the Ferris wheel about half way through the ride he was not sure if he liked it.


Dan sporting the latin lover mustache, as I like to call it.


Christian Boy


Evan Boy still trying to absorb everything.


Of course both of them loved the cars.


Christian was in heaven on the motorcycle.


Something I actually got really excited about along with the boys they had a helicopter and fire engine the kids could crawl around in, super cool!





Lots of fun, a little grumpy the next day but definitely worth it, can't wait for next year.

More Grass

Yes - we are that excited about grass that our last three posting have been about it. :)

itty bitty grass

It's been a week and we had a nice surprise after we came back from the cabin this weekend. Tiny blades of grass!! Woo-hoo!! We didn't kill it!

Yard Prep and GRASS!!!

Oh our yard! It has seriously been some hard labor!

These first 2 pics are of the yard right after we bought the house, check out the weeds! They were awful!


After much weeding,tilling, raking and more weeding, tilling, raking... we were able to level out the yard. My Dad is super awesome and told us the best way to get your yard level is to get a palate and drag it, who knew it would work so well! But you must be forewarned, you will burn some major calories in the process.



Ah, me and my endless raking!



Look our new tree is sprouting!


Yeah the Hydroseeder's are here!!! Christian was hilarious, he wanted to have the window open and the entire time they were here he was shouting out at them, "WOW! You guys are doing great! Good job you guys!" It was so funny. Christian is especially excited for grass because he knows once we have grass Grandma and Grandpa Anderson are buying him a "park" aka a swingset :)



Now we just have to keep the seed alive until it takes root, this means water 5 times a day for 4 weeks straight! But I'm not complaining, I am excited to have grass.

Wedding Bells!

Well my baby brother Davy and his beautiful wife Lara were finally married! They have been dating for years and she stuck around while he was on his mission. They had a beautiful wedding, they were married in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and had there reception in my parents back yard and everything went pretty smoothly. Also on a side note this day was also very awesome because it was the first time my entire family was in the temple together. My mom made sure we had a few minutes after the ceremony to recognize the moment and show our gratitude to the Lord.

The four sisters sporting their converse- Dave and Lara wanted everyone in converse for the wedding, kinda fun.



Humming birds even showed up for the event.


All the cousins on the Anderson side


Grandpa Olsen and Grandma Jo


My Dad working his coral Tuxedo and converse


The happy couple- don't they look great!


They had some seriously yummy food, I couldn't keep away from the cake pops.


The tables were decorated so cute.


Our little family.


Dan and Stephanie (sad that I lost my camera with their wedding pics on it) Christian adores them.


Me and Mom and the back of Lilly's head (Lilly is a good friend of mine and was the videographer for the wedding- she does awesome work!)

Love Hangin' with the Boys

Just like all Mom' s there are moments where you kids, to say the least, drive you crazy! But in general I love being home with them and just chillin'. Here are some pics of us just goofing around.

Dad: "Christian what did you make?" Christian: "Banana cupcakes!" ... of course :)



I don't know... do you think Evan is ready for a nap?



Christian came upstairs with the Cars DVD case around his head...He's a robot!... of course! What a funny kid.




Also a almost daily event, playing with play dough.




And don't you think it's funny how your kids hate being in the car seats in the car, but the second you bring them inside they can't seem to leave them alone.



Just a cute pic of Evan in the doctor glasses.
