I'll always be Irish!

3 out of 4 of us have Irish in our blood.  But the one who doesn't LOVES this tradition the most!

Happy St. Pattys Day Everyone!

Oh we have a really fun time doing this! P.S. Emarys hat is soooo cute!  She loved to wear it.  Bennett of course loved being an army man!

Number 1 Birthday - Hannah

.
We love you and hope you have a wonderful day today on your birthday.

Happy Birthday Hannah

I  have been in denial for weeks that today was coming.  I just can't get over the fact that this little girl is one.  She has grown up so much over the past year.  She is so fun and we all can't get enough of her.  We are so grateful that she joined our family.

Not Just Inside Our MINDS!

On Thursday we got to make good on our "Arts Gift" from Mom and Dad for Christmas. We went to the Ohio theater downtown and had a fabulous time.

This is the only picture of Spencer . . . that's why it's in this post.

The theater was beautiful. We had great seats in the Orchestra, but during intermission we ran upstairs to the balcony looking for a bathroom and realized how gorgeous the theater really is. Half the fun was being able to see such a beautiful location in our own Columbus.

The performance was good and it was a good excuse for me to spill all my musical theater knowledge and experience to Spencer. He was definitely impressed. He was also impressed by my encore performance of most of the songs from the show on our walk back to the car!

 

Thank you mom and dad for providing us with SUCH a great evening out on the town!

Our Little Two Year Old!

A little over due but here are Emarys two year pictures.

Emary is such a fun little lady.  I can't get over the fact that she is two.  Why do babies have to grow so fast!! All Emary does is smile and laugh! She really does bring so much sunshine into our home!  

She loves to pretend she is a cat- we will ask her questions and she will Meow and nod her head or shake it depending on if its a yes or a no.
She loves to say "Ah, thats better" after she fixes something.
She loves princesses and often asks us to refer to her as Elsa, or Rapunzel
She loves to play games
She is the best hider in our home- a little too good if you ask me
She climbs out of her bed every morning....we're deciding what we are going to do about this one
She laughs all the time.
She thinks its hilarious to put bubbles on Bennetts head when they are in the tub
She loves to be cuddled and give hugs- She still gives THE BEST HUGS
She loves to ask "Why are you laughing" whenever we are chuckling at something she does
Whenever she refers to something of hers she says, "my _______ is......uh.....Pink!  Everything is Pink.  She loves Pink! (and purple)
She loves to dress up
Playing with Bennett is her favorite thing- she loves to play guards, soldiers, captain hook and peter pan...it doesn't matter what it is as long as Bennett is playing with her.
Thats probably a good list right.

Her favorite things to eat are
Blueberries
Milk
Goldfish
Milk
Applesauce
Mac and Cheese
Shredded Cheese
Milk
Bread
Rice
Pasta
Corn

She is a tiny girl
We went to the doctors last week and she was
5th percentile for height and 23rd percentile for weight
She is a little peanut
We love you Emary Sue!!

Happy Birthday Seth

We started the Birthday celebration for Seth on Saturday by going to the playground inside the Provo Beach Resort.  It was a big hit for the whole family.

 We really had to work hard to wake him up on the morning of his birthday.

 

 We walked to and from church.  We took cupcakes to nursery to share with his new friends.

 What a cute and big 3 year old.

We ended the day with a Donald Duck cake and ice cream

February highlight

 The Highlight of February was our trip to Arizona.

We visited the Gilbert Arizona Temple

 The children were so excited to go inside

We visited with friends and Brittany Rowley and family.  We went on a hike, swam in the hot tub, enjoyed every second of the warm weather, and stopped at the Grand Canyon on our way home. 

 It was pretty GRAND.

 

 

The Andersons February

 We started off February by moving to Provo.  Here is the truck ready to be unpacked

 Our new lovely home

 We also made our final trip to Thanksgiving Point with our membership.  It was worth every penny.








 Of course with the move Elizabeth had to say good bye to her old school and old class



 Elizabeth's new classroom and teacher.
