Idaho Family Reunion

Ok, so it's been awhile since I updated...I give everyone else a hard time, but never update myself. So I will go back a few months to do some catch up.

We went to Idaho in August for our yearly Anderson Family Reunion. This would be our first time camping with Dylan, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't extremely nervous for how he would do. We decided to sleep in a tent because there wouldn't be much room anywhere else for the Pack-N-Play, and if he was going to be waking up early I didn't want to wake up everyone else.

While we were there, we had CRAZY wind storms. At one point during the day, the wind gusted so hard that it blew our tent completely over. And the tent had suitcases, full bins of blankets, Pack-N-Play etc. all inside. Everything was completely upside down. Luckily Dylan wasn't napping inside at the time. I had to find the door, unzip it, and crawl inside and start throwing things out the door just so we could get the tent turned back over again. It was not so fun. When the wind was blowing hard at night (and I was imagining us blowing into the river) and the tent was whipping like it was in a hurricane, Dylan slept right thru it all - what a trooper. Guess he doesn't mind camping...Here are some pics of our adventures.

Baseball Game

My mom came to visit around Mother's Day, and while she was here we took her to a Las Vegas 51's baseball game. They are always really fun and the weather was perfect for being outside. It was Dylan's first real outing and at times it was really loud and sometimes he got kind of scared but over-all he seemed to have a really great time. Towards the end, he started getting a bit cranky, but it was past his bedtime - hehe. We are planning to go again next month...so maybe more pictures then.

Mother's Day Project

So this year for Mother's Day (for my mom) - we took Dylan to the Artful Potter to make her a gift. I love this place and me and my friend Cherie go all the time. They can do these great plates etc. with designs around kids hand or feet prints. I really wish I could have decided on a design that had a foot print, because when you force Dylan to open his hand, he very strongly refuses. Lucky for me, he fell asleep. Still, it was an ordeal. So here are the pictures from our adventure and the finished product.

Dylan's Blessing and Photo Shoot

Ok, so I totally apologize for not updating since...December? Yikes. I guess having a baby really is a full time job. So in case you didn't know, I had Dylan on Jan. 30th and it was a not fun labor, (guess that's why it's called "labor") that after 36 hours ended in a C-section. But, even though it was tough, I ended up with a very handsome little man. My niece Tasha, who is a FANTASTIC photographer...check out her page here...came to Vegas for a visit and took these amazing pictures of my handsome dude. There are also some from his blessing day in March.
