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!

Gosh it's been a while

Alright, sorry for being gone for so long :) Here are some updates. Those of you who know Drew, know how incredibly close he is to his Grandpa Dan. Gpa went in for sugery last thursday to have a tumor removed from his bladder, and has not come out of it yet. The doctors are indicating that Gpa has less then a 50% chance of making it. This has been a very tough week for Drew and his family. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Also, we have a black female pug puppy that we are selling. She is 6 weeks old as of yesterday. We let a lady in OR use Pugsy as a stud, so she is the pick of the litter ;) She is super cute. We are selling her for $500, if you know anyone who is interested please pass the info along.

The kids are all doing well. They are LOVING that it's summer time and love playing outside and getting wet!! Here are a couple pictures for you to see!!!

I couldn't get a shot of the three together on my phone so I had to take two different pictures. It was so funny! And here's a picture of Aunt Katie playing outside with the kids.

did you order your plasmacar online? I hadn't seen them around until I saw them on the giveaway I won. Your puppy is so cute, but I don't need anymore dogs.

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!
