The Anderson Family

I am NOT a crafty person and usually do not enjoy crafts. Blake came home a few weeks ago with a project of dressing a penguin that they had made in class. He wanted to make his Robin because another little boy had made Batman. This was my worst nightmare--not only was I have to dress the thing, but I was having to make him somewhat recognizable!!

It was worth all the time it took. The whole time that we were working on all this Blake and Gabe kept bragging on me and telling me what a good cutter I was. It was so sweet and I was so proud of the finished product, I had to take a picture of Blake with his awesome penguin!!

Pulling up, a first haircut, and surgery

We have had a lot of things happening lately, although not all have been the greatest. Hallie had her first haircut and she is also pulling up now. This picture was taken the first time that we all saw her pull up on her own. She is very proud.

Blake had his tonsils out and when we went to recovery to see him, he was just down right mad!! All the nurses just loved his honesty. :)

Gabe's surgery

Gabe had surgery this week and I thought that I would put some pictures of him up at the hospital. The night before the surgery, Gabe got a Nintendo DS from my sister and her family and my parents. That was a total hit!! He was never nervous because he was so excited about playing his new video game.

Hallie and my mom went along with me to help because Jamey was out of town. Hallie loved being in the bed and playing. After the surgery, I think that Gabe loved the attention that he got. He got to ride in a wheelchair to the car and he got two popsicles to eat!!

My Little Gabe

Gabe likes to pretend that he is my baby too sometimes. The other day, as a joke, I put one of Hallie's diapers on him over his clothes. It fit!!! He has no rear----that definitely does not come from my side of the family!!

Basketball has started and last week was our first game. Blake did a great job and scored 4 points. The Chick-fil-a cow was there and got Gabe out on the floor during halftime. Gabe made a shot and also scored a free sandwich!! He was so excited!!
