Barretts Birthday

Well my boy turned one a couple Saturdays ago, March 13th! I can not believe that he is one and walking, kids grow way too fast. We had the family come over for a little birthday party on his B-day and here is a few pictures.

My cupcakes I made, I thought they turned out pretty good, better then I thought they would at least:)

Singing Happy Birthday, he got a little nervous at first when everyone just started singing!

Normally when kids see yummy food they just grab and put it their mouth but he did not want to eat it, it was pretty funny.

Brother and Sister

Getting ready to open presents!

Tannon kinda of took over in opening his presents but he didn't really care, he opened the first one and that was it, he just wanted to play.

David and I got him this tractor truck and he loved it, he likes pushing it more then sitting on it but when I saw it I knew he would like it:)

And Me with my birthday boy!

Thanks to all the family that came, we were glad you could make it and thanks for all the fun presents, he is having fun with them all:)

1st 10k

So my News Years goal was to jog everyday and I have been really good at keeping that goal, so I decieded to see how I would do if I signed up for a 10k. My cousin Ashley and I signed up for our first 10k, to be more clear we signed up for our first race ever. We ran Kiwanis/Litchfield Park 10K, 5K, 1 Mile Run on March 6th, I was really nervous cause I did not want to come in last place and I wanted to at least finish the whole run without walking.

Just after I signed in, and of course I get the #1 and I guess its like lucky if you get number #1 so a lot of the runners were making it a big deal, so that was kinda embrassing.

And the race is about to start, you can tell I am little nervous:)


And we did it, There was about 200 runner and I was 122 place so I didnt come in last and I finished the whole thing without walking, it was such a great experience and Im planning on running a lot more races, I got David to run the Pats run with me on April 17th so that will be fun! But Ash and I had alot of fun and we had al ot of support there to cheer us on :)

Cabin Trip

So a couple of weekends ago David and I decided we need a much needed weekend trip to the Cabin, so off to the snow and to relax:)

The kids on the way to the Cabin!

On are way to the Cabin we always stop at Walmart in Payson and we are so glad we did cause we got super good deals on Snow clothes, so when we got to the Cabin Tannon was so excited to put her stuff on, so they are in there new snow clothes!

The next morning playing in the snow, I was so glad there was some snow just right outside the Cabin cause if it got to cold for Barrett I could go inside with him and still watch Tannon and David.

Me and my boy:)

The Cabin stairs got covered with snow, so David smoothed it out and made a little slope for Tannon to sled on.

The kids going sledding with Daddy, they both loved it:)

My Pretty Girl!

Tannon finally decided to go down by herself, so here she is climbing back up to go again!

I love the snow, its so pretty!

After some morning Snow fun we headed in to Showlow and had lunch, went shopping and got some more good deals and went bowling, we had a lot of fun:)

On Saturday night Davids parents came up and joined us and on Sunday morning Tannon and Papa played in the snow forever they went sledding, built a snowman and made snow angels, she loves her Papa Anderson so much!

The Finished Snowman!

Tannons first time making a snow angel

We came home Sunday afternoon and when we got to the rim it was so foggy you could barely see, I tried to take a picture of the fog but it doesnt really show how bad it was. Well that was our weekend, we had a lot of fun and we got to have some good family bonding time, we always enjoy going to the cabin.

Valentines Day Fun!

Ok to start off last weekend all the boys in the family went hunting for the weekend and when ever they do, my Aunt comes into town and we craft, and here are the three crafts we made. Since Valentines day was the very next weekend we decided to stay with the Valentines theme. I think all of them turned out pretty cute, right now I am trying to find a St Patricks Days crafts so if anyone know of one please pass it along!

Then this last Saturday my Sister in law Michelle and I decorated cupcakes together, we took a cake decorating class together so we are all into decorating cakes and cupcakes right now, we had fun!

I tried to make these cute Valentine Bug Cupcakes but they didnt really turn out that well.

Then Saturday night David and I went out to dinner with the kids for Valentines Day to Red Robin and then out shopping, then we came home put the kids to bed and had my Parents watch them well David and I went to the 9:50 showing of "The Valentines Day" it was a cute movie! I dont think david and I have came home after midnight since we were dating, how sad!

Then Sunday Valentines Day, Tannon woke up to a Valentine from Dad and Mom hanging on her door and to a heart pancake breakfast before church.

And here are some pictures I took of my three special Valentines!

Love this picture!

My #1 Valentine, I love you Babe!

My two cute kids! It was hard to get a good picture of them both!

And me with my kids, I love them so much and I am so grateful for them and my wonderful husband! I hope everyone had a wondeful Valentines Day:)

My Cute Nephew

Here is a picture of my nephew Krew (thanks to Stephanie's sister for taking such a cute picture of him), he will be 3 weeks on Wednesday and I have been able to see him 3 times so far, the first time was just through a window though. This little guy has been through so much and he is such a tough guy. We love him so much and we are so very grateful to have him in our family.

This picture was when he was born, he was born on Dec 23rd, isn't he so cute?

David and I went out to visit him yesterday, he is out at St. Johns right now. Krew had heart surgery last Monday and he was such a trooper, he is doing really good and he has grown so much since last time we saw him.

Well just thought I would share my cute nephew with you, we love you Krew!

Gilbert Library

So yesterday afternoon we decided to take the kids to the Gilbert Library and walk around, to get out of the house for bit. It was a pretty day and the weather was perfect for an outside outing.

David was amazed by this duck in the above picture, he said he had never seen that color of a duck before so he had to take a picture. (Its the duck that is the color of the grass)

As we were walking around we turned a corner and we some some geese just strolling around, so that was excited for Tannon, there was another family looking at them and they were nice enough to share a cracker with Tannon to give the geese, I was very surprised that she actually gave the geese the cracker, cause I mean the geese made me nervous, so I stayed my distance.

Barrett checking out the Geese!

And my happy boy, he is always ready to give me a smile.

We had a good afternoon together, next time we go we want to have a picnic there and maybe I will remember to bring bread or crackers for the ducks and geese.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope everyone had a good New Years Eve. Ours was pretty low key, we went out to Dinner with our friends Dave and Katie and their kids and then went back to our house for some games, and that was about it, but we did make it to midnight.

Happy New Year!
