About Us

My photo
The Anderson family began in July 2003. Our family of two, soon became a family of three when we welcomed our first baby girl in December 2004. Alexis was joined by a brother and sister in March 2007. Twinners Dane and Hailey graduated our family of 3 to a family of 5. In March 2012 our family was completed by the arrival of our beautiful baby Kate. We are a busy family to say the least, but the happiest family in the world! We couldn't be a happier stronger family!

My most amazing husband!!!!

This is my absolute favorite picture!!! As lots of you know, I am coaching club volleyball again. This picture was taken at a team dinner we had last month.
I am writing this blog to boast about my most amazing husband!!! This last weekend I had a volleyball tournament in Spokane. I had to be at the gym at 7am, so if I stayed at home and drove the morning of, I would have to leave no later then 4:30am. And with it being winter time, and lots of snow in the Spokane area, we didn't want to chance things, so Katie Mom and I stayed over Sat night in Spokane. Drew stayed home with all the kids! That's something I would be nervous about doing by myself!!!! I kept changing my mind, offering to stay through the night and drive up early morning, but he kept pushing me saying how it wasn't a big deal and he would be fine, etc. Not many husbands would sign up for something like this. I have about 3 or 4 more tournaments where I will have to stay over night away from home, and he is already encouraging me to coach again next year!!! He knows how much volleyball means to me, and I absolutely LOVE the support I get from him. HE'S AMAZING!!!!!

Way to go Drew! Hey Valarie, my dad sent me this forward from Nicole (Cameron's fiance), and thought you would like it. It's a web page she created to inform everyone about their wedding. Check it out!

I am way excited about it! I will take a TON of pictures, so you will feel like you where there (unless you want to travel to Texas for the wedding with three small children like we are doing!).

Story of the twins arrival!

Alright, here's the scoop. On March 31st, I was starting to retain a bunch of water in my abdomin and the previous day I was spilling protein, so the doctor wanted me to go up to the hospital to have a lab taken to make sure I wasn't developing high blood pressure ( preeclampisa). So I went to the hospital at 8pm. The moment they hooked me up to the monitors I started contracting! Every 5 mins getting progressively worse in that hour. The doctor came back in and said, well you are in labor, what do you want to do?? I looked at him and told him he either had 3 hours to get these babies out of me, or we were waiting another 24 hrs because I was not going to have these babies on April 1st! So the doctor said, how soon can your husband be here? We then started preparing for Dane and Hailey's arrivals.
I arrived at the hospital to have some labs done at 8pm, by 9pm we decided we were delivering, and Dane arrived at 10:09pm and Hailey at 10:10pm. Both babies were in the NIC-U for 2 days since they were so early (35 1/2 weeks) and then were released to pediatrics with me and Drew. We were all able to head home on their week birthday:) Both Dane and Hailey are doing extremely well, and big sister Alexis couldn't be happier! I'm just glad they are out of my stomach!
