Jack Travis Anderson

First sorry for no posts in like the last 2 months, but what better way to blog again by introducing you to the newest member of the family..Jack Travis!! He was born on March 10. He weighed in at 8 lbs and 20 inches long. We went in the hospital that morning so Katie could be induced and then little Jack came around 2:30 that afternoon. Jack is as healthy as a baby can be and we are so grateful for that.Katie was up and walking around in the room 2 hours after the delivery. She is such a trooper! We were also very grateful that the hospital room had FSN Utah so that Jack could watch his first Jazz game a couple hours later. I know what you are thinking and we have not decided on what school Jack will be playing football and basketball at yet but Clemson and BYU did have some Scouts there checking out his stats! The big sisters love having a new little baby brother around the house. They are going to be great for Jack although I am dreading the day I come home from work and Jack is wearing some fairy princess dress.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Here are the girls doing snow angels!


Here's the best dad that always plays in the snow with the girls! Isn't he cute? Don't worry he likes to play in the snow more than the girls do.

The girls love being pulled around on the sled.





Here's taylor clearing off the car for us. She loved doing it and it kept her busy for a while.

Here's Peyton going down the slide that dad built! She loved it! She kept going down it over and over.

Taylor's Dance Recital

We put Taylor into dance this year and she just had her first recital. She did such a great job! Taylor is the one in the middle. The Bakers came to watch her dance and I didn't get a picture of them.

This is Taylor's good friend Mylee that is in her dance class. They looked so cute!

Taylor wasn't feeling very good the day of her recital, and she threw up 10 minuetes before we left and she danced anyway!

Peyton was so excited that Taylor was wearing a beautiful dress, and that she got on stage and danced. She cheered for her the whole time.

Here's the whole Anderson family after the dance. We love our little Taylor and we are very proud of her.

Gingerbread House!

My sweet aunt Cathy sent my kids this Gingerbread house kit. Here's TJ and the girls ready to put it together Monday night for Family Night.

Peyton got one look at all of the candy and she thought that she was just going to sit and eat all of it....so she was really excited!

Here's my sweet TJ concentrating really hard on making sure our gingerbread house look just like the one on the box.

The girls had so much fun decorating the house. Me and TJ had a lot of fun too.

Here are the girls with their house. We knew that it didn't look like the one on the box, but we thought we did pretty good.

When we were all finished I was taking a picture of the finished house and Taylor said, "it looks okay... if you look at it from far away."

I got Tagged, so here it is.

CornMaze Fun

Here in Utah there are about 254 CornMazes that dot the state. I don't remember any growing up in South Carolina. I guess I was deprived as a child! So we decided we better go see what this whole CornMaze thing was about. We packed up the girls and made the voyage 10 miles up the road(basically their life is complete now that we have been) We went there with my sister and her family which made it alot of fun. Taylor loved the huge slide they had there and Peyton loved getting into anything she could and testing her parents nerves!
