A few warm fuzzies from our day.

First one came after lunch and these boys were pooped out! They slept this way for about an hour. I was a little jealous because good snuggle time is hard to come by when boys get bigger - they're just too busy! :)



Second ones came from my boys as they prayed for our lunch and dinner.

First was Carter at lunch:
"Dear God, Thank you for this day.
Thank you for my mom, my dad, my brother and my sister.
Thank you for all the things we have and for our home.
Thank you for this food you have provided for us.
Thank you for the trees, flowers and bushes so that we can see you, God.
In your Son's name, Amen."

Then it was Jason's turn to pray for dinner:
"Dear God, Thank you for no monsters in this house. Amen."

Oh, my little boys. So fun to hear their thoughts when they pray. :)

Awww!

So, even though my boys will someday be totally embarassed by this picture, I couldn't help but share it. They share a room, and Jason's bed is a trundle that sits right next to Carter's. When Kenny checked on them tonight, this is how he found them. I'm sure Carter moved afer they were asleep, but still so sweet. What more can I say?

First Day of Kindergarten

Well, my big guy has officially started Kindergarten. So strange to think how fast the time has past. Carter has been counting down for about the last 8 months for school to start, and he was so excited that the big day finally came. Hard for me to let him go, though :( Now Jason is counting down for preschool to start.

We finally did it!

Well, we have had two very big events here in the Anderson household in the last two weeks! First, Kenny's parents came to our house and took care of our kids for 6 days while we went to Cabo. Second - our reason for going to Cabo in the first place.- we celebrated our 10th anniversary!! The pictures below are from our trip. It was so weird, and so nice, to do whatever we want whenever we wanted. We got to do fun things like parasail, ride a waverunner, swim in the ocean, swim alone in our pools, go to the workout room together, go on long walks without carrying anyone and hold hands, eat meals at nice restaurants... I guess I could make a really long list, but you get the idea. We had a great time together and each got to relax - something I didn't know I could truly do anymore. We were ready to come home when it was time - it was great to see the kids and Starbucks never tasted SO GOOD! I wish I had pictures of all the things the kids did with Papa and Nana - the list is huge - they did way more things that I could ever accomplish with the kids in one week. I don't think they even missed us - they had so much fun!! Thanks to Kenny and Ken and Kathie for making it all possible. Now that we know that it is okay to leave the kids, I think we should do it every year! ...okay, really I'll shoot for the 15th anniversary. :) Kenny, you're awesome and I can't imagine life without you. I love you, our life and the family we have together. Looking forward to the next 10!!!
