Snow Much Fun!

We love winter at our house. There are so many things you get to do in the winter that you can't in the summertime. Things like snow tubing and snowshoeing...

Blessing Baby Copelin

Sunday December 26, my brother, Brian, blessed his sweet baby, Copelin. Don't they look so cute, Daddy and his little "mini me"?! Brian did such a great job with the blessing and it was so fun to see all the family that was able to attend. The bottom picture is all the babies born into the Anderson family in '09. Justus was first, then Ever (far right- 11 days after Monkey), Bella (second to the right) was four weeks after Ever, and Copelin rounded-out the year in August. Aren't those cousins going to have fun??? :)

Fun First Christmas

We had so much fun over our Christmas holiday, and it will take a few posts to get to it all, but first things first... Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house. My sister came up from Arizona so there were lots of fun cousins to play with. Christmas morning was a blast. Monkey didn't know what to think about opening gifts at first, but it didn't take him long to get into the idea. He had so much fun tearing off the wrapping paper and did he ever hit the jackpot! We went to my parents house for breakfast that morning and then off to Sherryil's for dinner. We tried to find time in between to play with all of baby's fun new toys. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

Happy Nine Month Birthday!

We have been having so much fun with our little monkey! He's having a ball learning how to walk. He takes more steps by himself everyday, I'm afraid he'll be running before too long! He loves to wave "hi" and "goodbye," and of course we think it's so dang cute! He is a little talking man, mostly jibber jabber, but he does say "Mom" and "Dad," which we love! This guy is keeping us busy, making sure we are paying attention- crazy crazy monkey!

O Christmas Tree

Every year I get so excited for Christmas, and first things first, I get the most excited about getting our Christmas trees up. We got them up a bit later than usual this year and I could list all my excuses as to why, but that's not the point. The point is, they are up!

Snow Angel or Jail Bird???

Really hard to say, but I'm going with 99% angel, 1% trouble maker... at least when he's sleeping! ;)

Big 8 Monther

We can't believe it's been 8 months already! Justus is getting so big, so fast. He loves to "run" around chasing his cousins (he's with them nearly every day). He officially holds his own bottle. He has since he was born (not exaggerating), but he wouldn't always do it, and not for the whole time, but he decided he's a tough guy and wants to do it all by himself now. He goes crazy if someone is in the shower and he's not. Makes it a little difficult to get your hair washed! He got haircut #3. The kid's hair grows so fast and it's really thick, so the spikes won't stand-up they just flop over because they get too long. Tooth #1 has proven to be a detriment to his crib. As we were rearranging his room yesterday we had him chilling in there and hear this scraping noise... turns out the crib is super fun to chew on. The whole inside of the rail is down to bare wood. Nice, bud! We have a little Aggie fan on our hands. We took him to his first (and second, and third, and...) basketball game. He has lots of fun, but it goes way past his bedtime so by the end, it is definitely time to go home. My favorite thing this month, he has become a dancin' man. It is hilarious to watch him get his groove on.
