My baby is ONE!!!

Someone please oh please explain to me why time goes by so fast!! It just seems like there is absolutely no way Trever can already be 1!! His birthday was on June 10th but we were traveling so we celebrated late. We have always called him "The Baby Monster" so it just seemed fitting to have a dino party for the little man. We had a great time with all of our friends and family that were able to come celebrate with us!

Goody bags!

Pooey is his is dark :( But he is so sweet anyway!

I made little dino tails for all of the little friends that came to the party!


Dino fruit bowl my Grandma Sue made for us to enjoy!

"Wait! What is that attached to my bum?"



Grilling some drumsticks. I heard that is what dinosaurs like to eat!

Well, looks like this one likes beans!

THE CAKE! (the inside was sour cream chocolate with chocolate buttercream!)

Dino's everywhere!!








Happy birthday Trever man!!!

He approved of the cake!

Homemade ice cream anyone?


Grandma Martha, Grandma Sue, and Grandma Margaret

The longneck lost his head!!!


I hope a great time was had by all!!!

A camping we will go!

I guess this was kind of a late Father's Day camping trip. Since the boys and I were gone for Father's Day and we returned home on our 7th (WOW!!! I can't believe I have been married to the love of my life for that long!!) anniversary, we decided to pack up and head to the hills! I love being with just my little family! Makes my heart smile really really big!!


I like watching him drive....it drives him crazy ;)

So happy!


Roasting weenies!


We cooked up some smores and  Blake took one bite and decided he just wanted the marshmallow. Thank you Blake for giving me your chocolate!!

Family timer picture!

We had to run, by run I mean drive, to Lake City for some ice and found a park to play in for a moment. John and I dug real deep to find the kids in ourselves and this is what came out of it!

He can still jump really high and land like a pro!

I can still jump really low and fall like a 2 year old!
But the best part was we laughed really really hard at ME!
If you can't laugh at yourself then life in BORING!!!




Blake's first fish!!


Making some homemade ice cream! It was soooo yummy!

See!

Blake approved also!

Playing in the camper before bedtime!

Morning bike ride/walk!

We had a little visitor at breakfast....We threw him Trever's biscuit.



My boys fishing!

Riding on a jetplane!!

John's brother Daniel got married the weekend after my cousin Brianne. On our way home from Tucson my mom dropped the me and the boys off at the Albuquerque airport and we flew to Tennessee. So we drove 8 hours from Tucson to Albuquerque then spent another 6 hours in airports and airplanes. If you ever wanna wear yourself out completely, I suggest you try an adventure like that!!!

Get ready for a picture overload once again! We had a great trip and are so thankful we got to be there for such a special occasion!!

 Blake thinks he is so cool now that he gets his own seat on the plane.
 Eating TONS of blueberries from Mama Sandy's bushes.
 I thank God everyday for this Aunt Marian! She and Blake has a special bond!
 Uncle Wally rocks!
 I couldn't find Blake one afternoon! We were so busy prepping for the rehearsal dinner that Blake got bored and made himself a pillow fort and passed out :)
 We celebrated Trever's birthday!

Helping Uncle Dan Dan get his truck all purdy!

 I did the flowers for the wedding. Sandy (my super awesome mother-in-law) and I spent a day in Nashville and went to this wholesale place to pick up the flowers.  I could have moved right in! There were TONS of beautiful flowers and it really made me miss my past life of being a florist :(
 The house got turned into a flower shop!
 Alter piece!!!
 Bride's bouquet....wasn't quite finished but I forgot to take a picture of the finished product!
 I made 12 of these centerpieces...they were BEAUTIFUL if I do say so myself :)
 This was me hard at work!
 And Trever eating the greens all over the floor!
 Man, I love these two!
 Rehearsal dinner!
 Enjoying the awesome TN weather!
 Meet, Joe Cool!
 Couldn't you just eat these two up!?!?!
 Daniel and his wife are both in the Air Force. I had never been to a military wedding before. Very Cool!!!
 My Love was the only guy missing from this "Anderson Man" picture.

Nathaniel, Michael, Daniel, Bradley, Wallace, Papa Doc, Papa John
 This is John's Grandparents. Mama Frieda and Papa John. I love this picture!!!
 I am so sad that this is the only picture I got of the new happy couple :( She made a beautiful bride!!!
 The reception was at a Beechcraft Staggered Wing museum. Blake was just dieing to touch this plane so I told him to go stand there so I could take his picture with it....He posed himself mighty cute!!!
 Uncle Nathaniel was trying to teach Blake how to play!
 As if I wasn't exhausted enough from the trip, Trever decided that he needed to scream bloody murder for about 45 minutes our last night. I have no clue what his deal was but he finally fell asleep in my arms!
Eating trail mix and cucumbers from Mama Sandy's garden. We were so excited to be on the plane on our way to see Daddy!!!




Wow, 13 days is far too long to be away from Daddy!!!
