Crazy Month Catch Up

Well I don't know where to start, there has been so much going on. First off, Dallin has been doing great with his rotations. Now he is in Internal Medicine, it's basically working with old people yay! NOT! But he does has great hours! We took some pictures of Easton the other day out in the sunshine he is such a happy smiley boy we can't help but smile with him. I also took his 3 month picture, I can't believe he is already 3 months. Then next we went to this really nice restaurant called Spaghettini Grill and Lounge. It's in Seal Beach. They had a live Jazz band it was so much fun. It made me absolutely love Jazz music. Easton had fun too we got front row seats to it with dinner. Dallin got pasta of course and I got Sea Bass it was amazing but of course it doesn't look as good as in real life. I was trying to take a picture of the sign of the restaurant but I accidentally got this guy haha. Everytime I see this picture I can't help but laugh!! Next Jared and Danielle's family came to visit we had so much fun. We went to Santa Monica Pier one day it was beautiful warm and sunny! It went by way to fast. Easton absolutely loved Brooklyn, she was such a big help I can't believe how old she acts (reminds me of her mom!) We also went to the Fashion District in LA, definitely an experience;). I miss them already. Dallin's brother is getting married in April up in Rexburg so I will stop and see them in a couple of months. So on another note, Easton is getting sooo big he now rolls over all the time. But now we have run into a problem, since he has learned his new trick I can't get him to stay on his stomach to sleep. Any suggestions?? I have tried just letting him cry that only works for so long,he rolled over to his back then cried for an hour, fell asleep then an hour later woke up. Then I tried putting rolled up blankets on the sides so he couldn't move well he just scoots himself to the edge of the crib and rolls over. Let's just say its been a long week! But he is still the best part of our lives. We love him to death and I'm ok staying up with him as long as it's only a stage here's to crossing my fingers! Well I think I'm caught up now sorry for the long post. Oh well since today is Valentine's day let me tell you what we did. It was my turn this year to plan so I made Dallin an amazing dinner if I do say so myself. Rack of lamb with green beans and fingerling potatoes. For dessert chocolate lava cake. It was fun to make then we ended the night watching "Life As We Know It" it was a pretty good night. Thanks for being my Valentine I love you Dallin!

Easton's Blessing Day

Easton was blessed on January 2nd! My family came down on Thursday night and stayed with us for New Years! We braved the crazy world of Disneyland. But it was sooo fun! Dallin and Michael decided to go on Splash Mountain again with the strollor pass, then they text Zach while they were in line that they were going to take their shirts off!! So we had to see this. It was soooo funny we couldn't believe they actually did! We tried buying the picture but they wouldn't sell it to us cause they are suppose to keep there clothes on. Well it was funny to watch. Zach got an ok pic of it I'll have to put up later. It was a fun day. Eastons blessing day was so nice Dallin did a good job. Here are the pictures I made his outfit it was a little big but oh well he looked cute anyway. For Christmas we went to his sisters house 20 mins. away it was fun to kind of be home for Christmas!! We went to the beach it was soooo fun, perfect weather. Dallin got a air-soft gun for Christmas so him and his brothers had fun shooting at each other all day. I got some cookbooks I have been wanting soo excited to use! Easton gave us a whole night of sleep for Christmas and the few days before too. That was definitely needed. I loved seeing both families this year. We miss them already!

Easton is a Big Boy!

When Easton stands on my lap I call him a "big boy" he gets so excited and even smiles. I can't believe how much he has changed. He is past the newborn stage. He smiles so much and every once in a while even laughs. I love how active he is now. He loves it when I give him kisses he will smile so big but when Dallin does it, it's not the same. haha He already knows who his favorite person is :) He loves taking showers and baths. I love him sooo much he is my buddy. We hangout all day long and I couldn't think of a better way of spending my day. I love you buddy! Don't grow up to fast! We went to the Ward Christmas Party it was so fun Dallin and Easton matched even down to the shoes. love Christmas time everything about it the music, hustle bustle of shopping, making cookies, Christmas lights, trees, most of all Christ. I'm so excited to be home for Christmas with our little family. I hope you all have a great Christmas season.

Thanksgiving 2010

We went to St. George to see my family. Let me tell you we had a blast! I miss living close to them. They loved Easton of course! Oh and as we getting the suitcases out of the car we realized we forgot Eastons suitcase. Poor boy had nothing so he got all new clothes lucky! It was one of those times where I thought Dallin grabbed it and he thought I had. Oh well! We played pickleball, basketball, and football (well more like the boys) :) We took the Christmas picture for my parents. I miss them already but I'll see them in a month for Easton's blessing. Lindsay and I braved the Black Friday on Thanksgiving night, it was crazy but fun. Then Danielle and my Mom joined us for the morning of Black Friday. I think this season I have been thinking alot about my life and how thankful I am to have the struggles and happy times in my life because they have made me who I am. I love Dallin more than I ever have. Seeing him with Easton really just makes me fall in love with him all over again. I am so grateful I have the chance to get to raise this beautiful baby and that Heavenly Father trusts me to do this. He is such a sweet boy and so patient. I am so thankful Dallin is able to be in PA school and that we can be secure career wise. Thanks Dal for working so hard. I love you all. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Fall Baby!

Well our little Easton will be 3 weeks tomorrow, I can't believe how much he has changed already. It's so fun. I love all his funny faces he makes. He is so patient, even when he is starving he will just let out a little cry just incase I forgot about him. He is so sweet. I love him so much I can't even express it. I never thought I could love someone so much after such a short time of knowing him. It's amazing how much he has changed me. I tend to change the radio station if it's not a good song because I don't want him listening to it. Even though he can't understand it. You may think that kind of weird I know. Here are some pictures of him the first week he was home taking his first bath. Then the Fall ones are from yesterday. I can't believe the difference. Dallin is such an amazing husband and Dad. Easton loves his dad. Dallin rubs his back at night and he just lays there loving it. Dallin says he is a cuddler like his mom. :) He is such a big help around the house too. Anything I need he jumps up to get. We are sooo happy and love our little family. I can now understand a little of what pure joy is.

Easton Taylor Andersen

October 26, 2010 at 3:30 Easton was born he was 7lbs 3oz and 19 1/2inches. We couldn't be more thrilled! I still can't believe it. We love him more than we could imagine. It's amazing the sweet spirit he brings into our home.
