Adalayde rides her bike

Adlayde loves her bike! She is pretty good at it and she wants to take it everywhere we go. Today she even wanted to sleep with it during her nap. No, I did not let her take her dirty bike to bed with her but she was not very ahppy about it


Aunt Amelia can even ride Adalayde's bike!

Church







Adalayde does not always get to go to church because it starts right when she takes her nap. We have chosen to keep her home for the benefit of all that we go to church with because, she has been known to make church the opposite of Heaven! We love her so much but a nap is not an option for our sweet girl. So, on the rare occasion that she gets to go to church I love to take pictures of the two of them.
Anderson on the other hand loves church! He is so good during Sacrament meeting and he loves to go to nursery! Church is also during his nap time but he makes it through nursery because he loves it so much. He has been know to fall asleep in the car on the way home from church and yes the church is just one street over!


Swimming


Adalayde is one good little back floater, she can float for so long. Last week the teacher was having her float for so long that she started to yell at her. She was yelling so load saying I'm all done Richelle I already did abc song. She is a very funny girl with a lot of personality. Sometimes it is not as cute as other times but we will still keep her.

Anderson is very proud of his new trick!






These two LOVE swimming lessons, they love their teacher and they love the water. I have been asked several times this winter when we have gone swimming why the kids wear swim caps? They wear them because the keep their goggles on and that way I do not have to fix them a zillion times!

Anderson is THREE

Aunt Hilary made Anderson this cute sign. He loved it so much!
The amazing bowling cake that Aunt Liesl did for him! He is very lucky to have an aunt who loves him enough to spend hours making a very special cake for him.


Anderson at his Friend party. He invited 18 kids and would have invited even more if I would have let him.

With his big boy cousins that he loves!




Not only did Liesl make a bowling cake she also made a golf cake for the family party. She is one awesome aunt.





My Sweet boy!




No need for a fork.



Check out his outfit. He picked it out all alone.




Anderson loving his Aunt Tenley and Uncle Aidan.

Happy Easter









Toilet Trained



Anderson was so easy to toilet train. He woke up one morning and told me he did not want to wear a diaper. I told him that was fine but if he had an accident in his basketball shorts he could not wear them the rest of the day. I had not really been thinking about toilet training so we did not have any underwear for him. So for two weeks he has gone camando.

Well, that went great until I put pajamas on him. He had an accident in them and i don't clean up accidents very well so those pajamas went straight to the big black stinky garbabge can outside. Anderson was not impressed to say the least.

Total he has had about four accidents in two weeks and no accidents for a week. I should have thought of the basktball shorts sooner. I should have know that Anderson would not want to ruin his basketball shorts.

We told him he could pick a gift for his big accomplishment. He decided that he wanted bases so that he could play baseball and on Friday we decided he deserved them so we went and bought them.

We are proud of Anderson, he is saving his mommy some cash by not using diapers. Yay for BIG BOY ANDERSON!
