Newest member of the Anderson Family!

We are so excited about getting a little puppy. She was born 3 weeks ago and is so dang cute! I never thought that we would be a pet family, but Addaly loves puppies! This is a great opportunity to get one that will stay small and NOT shed. I don't do hair of any kind... eww... Plus did I mention that she will be FREE!!! This is definitely my kind of dog!!! We went to pick out which puppy we wanted last night. We held every one in the litter. She was so snugly and cuddled right up to all of us! We totally fell in love!! We get to bring her home in 5 weeks.
Now for the hard part we don't know what to name her! We keep asking Addy what she wants to name it and she says"Daddy" We want to give her a cool name. Last night we talked about Edna or Maxine. I really like the names Phoebe, Matilda or Penelope. I just have to get Doug to agree. So if you have any suggestions let us know.

Cabela's

Ok so I think that I am the only Utahn that hasn't been to Cablea's until this last weekend!! Doug has been telling me how fun of a store it is and about the huge fish. We decided to take Addy to see it. You would have thought that the girl died and gone to heaven! She loved the fish and seeing all of the other animals! She loved being able to play and run around!! Forget the zoo and the aquarium, I think that she has found her favorite place!

Moab

This last weekend we went with my fam to the car show in Moab. It was a total blast! We went to Arches (a first for me) and it was so beautiful! I love all the red rock! Addaly loved it! She hiked so far and wanted to do it all her self! Every time we would try to pick her up she would say " I do it!" It was so fun to sit on the main drag at night and watch all the hot rods cruise up and down. Addaly loved riding in Pa's car and pretending to drive it! It was especially lovely when she was honking the horn while they were giving out the awards at the car show!!! It was so much fun! Thanks Mom and Dad for a way fun weekend!

Happy Easter!

Easter was so much fun especially since Addy understood what was going on. She loved every second of it! Our holiday festivities started off with Doug and I coloring eggs with Addy. She was so much fun to watch, our eggs turned out so lovely. They were all different shades of brown and most of them cracked.
We woke up early Saturday morning to go to the SoJo Easter egg hunt. Great idea, but don't show up early and let your 2 year old play at the park first!! (her favorite place to be!) She did not want to leave the slides and swings to go hunt for egg-ies! Addy liked seeing the Easter Bunny at the park.... only from a distance!
Easter morning was busy, but so fun! We woke Addaly up early to have a scavenger hunt that the Easter bunny had left for her. She had a blast! She got all sorts of fun prizes. (that Easter Bunny sure loved the dollar store!) We had breakfast with Grammie, Pa, Kam and Keegie. Then off to Chrama Jackie's to have a yummy dinner! Chrama Jackie, Dirk and Trent had set up a fun easter egg hunt in the back yard. Addy had well over 50 eggs and still wanted to find more!
The weekend was filled with lots of fun and family!

What cupcakes? Dirk is very very "special"

Big Girl Ponies!

Ok so Addy's hair is finally growing and is long enough for "big girl" ponies!!! I know that it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but we are finally out of the mullet stage!!! I am so excited but a little sad at the same time. As I am looking at the pictures with her ponies I am realizing she is definitely not a baby anymore. She is a TODDLER! She is smart and is learning so many new things! She is talking in full sentences now and really loves the word NO.

Sun?

Nothing to much is going on in the Anderson household, other then having some serious cabin fever! I can't wait till it is at least 70 degrees for weeks in a row!!! Addaly and I are dying to get out and play in the sun! We have taken advantage of the few nice days we have had. We have gone to the zoo, wheeler farm and the park. Addaly has loved every minute of it!

Pictures

These are the most recent pictures of Addaly. I kind of waited too long to get her 18 month pics done. Rachel and I took the girlies to Gardner Village and Wheeler Farm and got some great pictures!!! Rachel did the best job of capturing the cutest moments.
