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!

Hand me downs!




So, today I got home from volleyball practice and I walked in to see Hailey wearing an old outfit of Alexis'. I had to get a picture of her with her daddy in it!!!! I can not tell you how fun it is to find clothes that use to fit alexis that now fit Hailey! I don't know why it's so fun, or what the reason is, but I LOVE this outfit and I am so excited it now is finally fitting Hailey! Alexis wore this outfit from about a year old, all the until she was 18 months old! Hailey is almost 1, and we had to tighten up the length as far as it would go, but I can't wait till she is walking around by herself in this cute outfit! Yay! (Hailey is in the pic with Drew, Alexis is the solo pic :)

I agree Valarie. I just found a bunch of 24mo, 2T clothes of Kendall's and I had forgotten all about them and can't wait for Peyton to wear them come summer and what not. So fun to have the pics to compare too.

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!
