Quinn is 2 ~

Our spunky, energetic Quinn is now 2!  To start his day he wanted pancakes with chocolate chips for breakfast.  After that he helped me make his birthday cake and of course got to lick the spatula.  We had pizza for dinner and then he was able to blow out his candles (at least he tried ~ finally dad had to give him a little help) and then he ate his cake.  Actually he ate all of the frosting and then said he was done!  Bryce did a great job again decorating his cake.   It was a Hotwheels birthday and he couldn't have been more excited about his semi that can haul his cars.  After all of the gifts were open, dad helped the boys build a ramp down the steps.   

Corrigan's Dedication ~

On Sunday, May 20th we dedicated our beautiful Corrigan to the Lord.  We are so extremely blessed to have her in our life.  We are excited to teach her to follow the Lord and believe in all He has to give.  We are even more blessed to have so many people in her life that love her and will also help guide her in her faith as she grows.

Easter 2012 ~

Happy Easter Everyone!  The boys were really excited to color and decorate our eggs this year and Corrigan enjoyed watching her brothers.  After we got home from church, the boys had an Easter Egg Hunt and couldn't believe how many eggs they found.  They also enjoyed trying to find their baskets and even Corrigan located her's (with the help of Odin). 

St. Patrick's Day 2012 ~

Breakfast at Perkins ~ all tuckered out and the day just began!

We asked a woman at the game if she'd take a picture of us with

our phone ~ we have never laughed so hard. It took her 5 times to get

this blurry one. I'm going to guess that she had a few drinks in her!

I'm not sure why, but St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. We started our day out by going to breakfast at Perkins. After that we dropped the kiddos off at Grandpa and Grandma Anderson's and Bryce and I made our way to the Wild game in St. Paul. Absolute CRAZINESS downtown but we enjoyed our day together.

This year was by far my favorite ~

A Little of This and A Little of That ~

We went to the Mall of America to watch a short play on

"Llama Llama Red Pajama". This is one of the boys'

favorite books to read. (January)

Odin and Bryce went ice fishing in February

Quinn wanted Vikings horns from the balloon guy

(or was it his daddy that wanted them?) (March) The boys played in the backyard ONE time this winter.

Even this snow didn't stay long. (February)

Odin at the dentist for the first time (February)

Corrigan chilling on Great Grandma W's quilt (March)

Cartwheels, Handstands and Jumps, Oh My ~

"Just hanging around"

"Ta Da"

"The Headstand"

Odin has had a lot of fun doing gymnastics over the winter. It is great to see him get so excited when he learns something new. Here are a few snapshots of him and a couple of videos.

Christmas 2011 ~

"Seriously Mom, are you done yet?"

The Anderson Family...

Corrigan is as long as her stocking!
Quinn posing for a picture on Christmas Eve!

Odin wanted to know where "his Santa" was. We've had the same Santa since Odin was a baby up until this year!

I love my boys!

I feel like we are missing someone?!

Could she be any more precious?

The Anderson cousins ~ Odin, Corrigan, Quinn, Sam and Gus

I know I'm a bit behind, but here is a snapshot of the Anderson's 2011 Christmas. (This is as close as I'll get to scrapbooking for my kids so I need to get it all in)
