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!!!

On the road again......

So we got home from our Florida vacation on May 27th and on June 5th we packed up once again! Mom and I met up with my sister and her family in Pagosa Springs and caravaned to Tucson, AZ! We were attending my cousin Brianne's wedding. I wish we could have a family gathering this fun every 2 months!! That would be perfect!!! It was a 12 hour drive, unfortunately it wasn't the funnest road trip I have ever had. Trever had a fever the whole night before we left and the entire drive. No amount of Tylenol or Ibuprofen was taking this poor baby's fever away. It was no fun listening to him fuss the whole way!! I am not sure I was ever so happy to get to a destination!



This was Blake helping me load the car before we left our house. He loves to buckle himself!


We stopped in Showlow, AZ for a picnic lunch.

My boys were very happy to be out of the car!


I was so tired from taking care of my feverish baby my sweet Momma drove almost the whole way! What a champ!! I would be lost without her!!

This is the front of the house that we rented. My sister found this vacation house online. If anyone is ever in need of a house to stay in in Tucson let me know.... THIS PLACE ROCKED!!! I think we fit 20 people in here comforably!

A tour of the casa :)

Diaper babies!!!

When Blake gets sleepy he likes to pick one person out of the crowd and talk their ear off so that he doesn't pass out. This night he choose Mama Bobbie. He was telling her all about flying on the airplane to Florida and about the beach. So sweet :)



A couple days after Trever's fever went away he got this rash. It started on his hands and feet. I called my awesome doctor father-in-law and he said it sounded like hand foot and mouth desease. After Googling more about that nasty sickness there was no doubt that is what it was! This rash turned into gross blisters all over his palms, the bottom of his feet, legs, and in his mouth. They didn't seem painful but it was not a pleasent sight.




 This is the life!!!
Sitting in the sun during naptime!! AWE life would have been perfect if my Love could have come!!!

A couple days after Trever's rash showed up, sure enough, my Blakey Doo got the fever! This was at the rehearsal dinner and he was miserable. A fever boy and 100* weather don't make a good match!!
 I'm tellin ya, this house was awesome!!! We really loved having a pool!!


 We spent most of our time out on this beautiful patio! Lots of seating for lots of family!!


So hot!!!


Sweet Flower Girl, Millie!!



Not sure what Blake was talking about or thinking in this picture but I think it goes like this....
"My mom really needs to get a life and stop taking so many pictures of me, from now on I will not cooperate one bit and just make funny faces ALL THE TIME!!"

Trying to get Blake to dance but he was not into it one bit!

I don't think he was feeling up to par yet from his fever so this is pretty much how we spent our night on the dance floor!
 
All of the girl cousins except one! We missed Amie!!!


My sister wanted to go to this splash pad. It was pretty sweet! Too bad Blake is such a bump on a log and wouldn't even begin to enjoy it!!


"OH! A gun? Maybe I will give it a try! But I will only smile for a second then I will pout some more to annoy my mom!"


We had a super great vacation with all of my Mom's side of the family. Next time my husband will be there without a doubt!! I missed him soooo much!!!
