11 months and counting...

You know those really annoying parents who think they have the cutest, smartest kid???... I'm definitely one of them! I can't get over how stinkin' cute my baby is! That little smile melts me to the core and I just have to think that they don't come any sweeter than my little boy. He's such a charmer, he's got both of his parents wrapped around that tiny little finger! This month he's been showing us just how smart he really is. He is saying all sorts of words, a couple of my favorites are "Justus," "turtle," and animal sounds, such as "moo," and "meow." He's fascinated with faces and loves to point out "eyes," and "nose." He points out the mouth, too, but hasn't learned how to say it, yet.

Did someone say, "Aggie Basketball???" We've had so much fun this season with Justus there to help us cheer them on. We're feeling kind of sad that the regular season is coming to a close, but then, we can't wait for next year! Our little Aggie will singing the fight song with the best of them by then!

A Little Summertime Winter Fun

On Martin Luther King, Jr Day, both Dustin and I had the day off so my mom invited us over for a little fun at the pool. This was the first time we had actually taken Justus swimming. As you can tell, he didn't mind the freezing cold water (the heater was out). He just chilled and slurped his toys. Brian, Copelin, Peyton and Jackson all joined in on the party. It was Copelin's first time swimming, too. What fun!

40?!

So my big sister turns the BIG 40 tomorrow and her sweet husband decided to throw her a surprise party. Big time fun, especially since I got to do the fun stuff- decorate! Jess (my little sis) was my co-conspirator and we had the best time... mostly because, if I do say so myself, it turned out FABULOUS! :) It was at Hamilton's Steakhouse and we had about 45 of her close friends and family there.

Little Walker Man

So what was Justus's biggest accomplishment this past month?

He is loving it, too!

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!
