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!

Seats

I got this new toy organizer from Target the other week. I keep the babies locked in the living room so I can see them and watch their activity (Make sure they aren't destroying things). More and more toys are being brought into the living room for the kids to play with which makes my livingroom SOOOO messy. So I bought this organizer thinking it would help things out. Well it did the opposite. The kids now LOVE to play with the buckets that came in the organizer!!! The funniest thing is that Dane and Hailey (learning from alexis) now take the buckets, turn them up side down, and use them as seats to watch TV. So funny :)

It always makes me laugh at how creative kids can get. I remember being little and making forts out of couch pillows and cardboard boxes.

Thanks so much for the comments! I'm such a stalker of blogs myself, but am too much a fraidy cat to leave a message. That is a good idea to use a thrift dress. I also think an old prom dress would be fun. Katie wasn't too emotionally attached to her dress. I think she wants to have a 10 year wedding party and get a new one again!

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!
