Anders 5th Birthday Party!

Anders finally got his first friend birthday party! He invited his friends to the My Gym in Layton (we are huge fans). They put together a "Super Hero Training Camp." It was such a hit. There was a very strict rule (set by Anders) that it would be an "all boy" birthday party. Luckily, he allowed Eva to tag along without a complaint. I had so much fun watching all these 4-6 year old boys having the time of their lives...especially Anders. At the end of the party, Anders gave each of his friends a super hero cape and a mask. Anders has declared it to be the "best birthday ever!" Success!

We consider our family to be luckiest family in the world to get to share everyday with Anders. He brings so much joy to our lives and the people around him. We are completely blown away that our "Big Guy" is really growing into his name. His quirkiness is so entertaining...most of the time. He has an amazing memory and is so patient with his sister. There is nothing that makes me happier than to see Anders with a big smile on his face. I love that it is not very hard to make him happy because he gets excited about everything. He tries so hard to cover up his smile, but sometimes it is just impossible. He is starting to push me away in public when I try to hug him, hold his hand, or give him a kiss. That's OK, at least he is still up for a cuddle and back-rub when we're at home. I feel like I am doing the world such a big favor when Anders is around because he truly makes life so much better! I love my Big Guy!

What it's all about...

I can't believe I never posted our family pictures. Ok (lets be real) there's a lot I haven't posted, considering that my last post was in February! Life just carries on, even if a blog doesn't. These pictures were taken in June by my amazing sister-in-law Amy. These pictures have so much meaning to us because they were taken on a farm that once belonged to my great-grandparents and now belongs to my grandparents. The amazing yellow couch even has a story! It is an antique couch that was my grandmother's aunt's. It is heavy and full of feathers. It's pretty impressive. Thanks again, Amy! You truly are the best!
