Snow is heading for Disneyland.

Finally I have talked Matt into going to Disneyland.  All I had to do was show him the prices and let him know that after March Tate would be all that $$$.   Matt said, "If you plan it before March we can go".  So disneyland here we come.  I am so excited.  Even though Tate keeps talking about seeing Mickey and Goofy I have to say I am the most excited of them all.  I will be sure to post some pics when we get back.  We got some great deals on tickets from ebay and I found a good deal on a hotel. Add in Matt's free gas on his work car and we are good to go. On the other hand driving that many hours with the kids may not be too fun...... Oh well, it's worth it.

Much Needed Sleep!

So Since I have had Addie I have really suffered from sleep deprivation.  We have had many nights where we (Addie and I) were waking up every 2 hours, NOT SO FUN!  I have had all the symptoms of desperately needing sleep.  Some of the silly things I have done is try to force Addie's Binky in Matt's mouth, even when he kept refusing.  I tried to open a glass cup with a can opener and recently I found myself trying to put on Addie's coat before heading out the door (This was at a neighbors house and my two friends were looking at me like I was crazy).
Well Finally Addie has slept through the night, 3 nights to be exact.  The first night I wasn't able to enjoy because Tate was up all night with nightmares or something, but the other 2 nights were heaven.    I just had to share my excitment!

World of Discovery


Addie is getting so big. She loves to look around everywhere we go. She also loves to stand. It's almost as if sitting is the uncool thing to do. She will hold onto mommies fingers and pull herself up on her toes. She hates it when I try to sit her back down. If only she would roll over or crawl, now there's something she should try.
Well I took some cute pics of her the other day and thought I would post them. Notice the bow....My sister in law taught me how to make them. I am so excited to make a huge collection of bows. Well that was my first one I completed. Just thought I'd show it off a bit. Addie makes it look a lot cuter then it is......he he he!

Little Dude and Melt Downs

So Tate is obsessed with purses and Matt is not to happy about the idea. I wasn't too worried either except he keeps getting so mad because he can't fit all of his trains and other favorite toys in it. Finally I had it, he kept throwing the purse across the room and did not understand that you can't fit everything in it all at once. So I decided to try to solve it by finding him a larger and more manly bag. I found an old diaper bag and brought it down stairs (it was all I could find). he was so excited and i thought for sure I fixed the purse problem and the melt downs............um.....no! So Tate took the purse and took one item out and was able to zip it, then he grabbed the purse and tried to stuff it in the diaper bag and zip it. Surprise, it didn't fit, so melt downs are still continuing and when Matt gets home he is going to be even more mad to find that Tate has his own collection of purses and diaper bags. I guess my idea wasn't that great. He got mad at me for the idea and hit me, so now he's in time out.......for the the third time today. Well wish me luck!

Christmas Day!


Christmas is so fun with kids.  I can;t wait until Addie understands it.  Tate loved coming down stairs and waking up to presents underneath the tree.  Pretty much we just opened presents and relaxed all day ling.  It was GREAT!

Christmas Eve



Every year we spend Christmas Eve with my family.  Matt's family always has there party before the 25, so it works out perfect.  My family always has their Christmas Eve dinner with a selection of soup and salad.  I always look forward to my Aunt Leslie's Cheesy Chicken soup, It is so good!  After dinner we all gather for the Anderson's Christmas Program.  This is where we have stories and music.  We also always include the nativity scene.  Usually Joseph and Mary is always the couple who has the newest baby.  This year it was Matt, me and Addie.  Tate was a wise man, although I think he disappeared and went off to play with toys in the middle of the play?  


This year was extra special because Santa Clause came.  This was always the tradition we had when I was young and living at home.  It was really fun to have Santa come back.  Tate especially likes Santa Clause.  He was so excited when Santa walked in the door that he kept tripping over himself to get over to greet him.  Tate was also very anxiouss to get his gift that Santa had in his big red bag.  Every time Santa pulled out a gift Tate was right there to receive it.  As poor Tate's luck had it, he was last to have his gift pulled out of the bag.  It was pretty cute though.  (I have this all on video I just have to figure out how to get the videos on my blog).

So it has been almost two years since I stopped mid sentence of my last post and write, "to be continued". So let's get back t...
