Post #7 My Big Boy Baby Tee

So this is my cutest, chubbiest baby! He is such a good baby and I am so lucky...I can't have a fussy baby....not when I still have four other "babies" to be taking care of. And to prove he is so good, he went into the doctor for a fever and stinky ears (ask me later and I'll tell you) and found out he had double ear infections! I wouldn't have known by is behavior....he was still so pleasant! I love this kid!

Post #6 My Lovely Adorable Best Friends Sisters...minus the lovely and adorable best friends sisters Emily, Heather, and Tiffany!

So this happens all the time...we get together and then we take pictures. We are ridiculed by our husbands for taking a bazillion pictures, but there is always something....my arm is fat against my side, my smile is weird, by neck has wrinkles, my booty is sticking out, my whatever is whatever....anyway...here is a couple from our Memorial Day impromptu photo shoot by the lake.

Even little Declan got to be in it!

(notice the hot body of a man peeking out behind Shanda's shoulder!)

Post #5 Hunk of a Hubby

So eat your heart out everyone!! This is my 38 year old stud of a husband (who would die if he actually new I had posted this) Doesn't he look phenomenal? Isn't he the perfect male specimen? Aren't you amazed that he isn't mauled by women every where he goes?

(and yes this needed its own post too)

Post #4 Muddy Kids of Mine!

So this is more from Memorial Day, I just thought it deserved its own post. Jett and Henry decided to start digging a hole...and dig they did! They got this thing so big and wide, when Jett was down in it, all you could see was the top of his mohawk!

The dirt that deep was BLACK, as you can tell from Jett's body...he was COVERED and mighty proud of it, too.

Even Avery and Josie got in on the action...but we not permitted to dig in the boys' hole. They had to dig on their own.

Post #3 Memorial Day

This is out last holiday in Florida before we move, so my parents decided to invite some good ole friends over to their house for a bon voyage get together. There was lots of food, fun, sun, and play had by all! We had quite a turn out...the Borchardts, Pratts, Sniders, Melicks (Linnea with her broken arm and all), Farnsworths, Sorroughs, Ryans, Sagers, Apontes, Bishops, Flores, Howes, Fortes...I know there were more, I'm just drawing a blank. And of course the family was there!

This is probably one of my new favorite pictures EVER! Emily looks beautiful and Jo is so darn cute!

Nothing like trying to take a picture of yourself. Hopefully Christine will be the next Munns girl!

We tried hard to get Josie and Chloe to look at the camera and smile...no luck. Daniel brought his air boat and was generous enough to let any and all go for a ride. Avery did NOT like it. She kept covering her ears whenever he would start it up. It does get pretty loud.

Post #2 Bed of Cousins

The Quigley cousins came over for dinner on Sunday and got to spend them night since Memorial Day was the very next day. Henry, Gordon, Jett, Aidan, and Duce all got into Grandma and Go-dad's huge bed to watch Inspector Gadget 2. Within seconds of laying down, Jett was out!

Post #1 Swimming With Uncle Jordan

So this is what my kids live for....going swimming at Grandma's house. And to make it even better....have Uncle Jordan get in the pool with them. He is so patient with all their demands for throwing and canonballs and dives and mayhem. And he can really toss them high!

Being the biggest, its a little harder to throw Duce high, so he settles for a good flipping

Jett can ball himself into the perfect cannonball and Duce has a pretty sweet backflip.

Summer Hawks

You know it's summer time when the Anderson boys sport their summer hawks!

Speaking of mohawks....what would you think if a new family moved into your ward and their two boys had mohawks??? Do we just buzz the boys before getting to our new ward or do we leave mohawks???? Will people get the wrong impression of us...think our kids are misfits? Or will people think, "Hey, they look like cool people. We want to be friends with them."?

The smell of clean

This conversation took place this afternoon while Avery was going potty.

Avery: "Mom, what is this smell?"
Mom: "What smell?"
Avery: "Did you clean the potty?"
Mom: "Yes, I had to wipe the toliet down with Clorox"
Avery: "I thought so. It smells good in here"

So thank you to my 4 year old daughter for recognizing a clean bathroom. I think that is the first time anyone has acknowledge a clean toliet. Made my day!

FHE at the HAUGHT'S

Kara & Sam invited us over for Family Home Evening on Monday night.

It started off with a little swing time! And moved on to bubbles. Next was some baseball. It was capped off with a teeny lesson and the weekly Haught family fhe dance party.

Now that's how to end a day!

The teams were split up as follows

the "A" team: Tyler-Erika-Duce-Josie

the "H" team: Sam-Kara-Austin-Jett-Avery

Duce was the first to slam it out of the park for the night's first home run!
