Makay Bryan Anderson

Happy Valentines Day- to our sweet Boys!

For a fun surprise, we welcomed our new little one to the world.

After a long night, we welcomed Makay Bryan Anderson to the Anderson family. He came in weighing 6 lb 14 oz & 19 inches long. Mom did a great job and didn't have to push too long. Dad did even better! We got an epidural at 2am and got to sleep off and on until about 6 am when they came in and broke my water. After that, the time really flew. He was born a little after 8:30am.

Because of a little complication, he and dad went to the nursery for some test to make sure everything was ok. He was with them for about an hour and a half. No one got to see or hold him until about 11 am. That was ok for me because I was exhausted & sick to my stomach. They gave me some medication and it litterally put me out until about 4pm. People came and left, but didn't remember much other than seeing our parents and the two boys (Taylor & Hayden). They we soooo surprised and soooo excited to hold the baby. I can't tell which one was more excited.

Makay is a great baby so far, but it is only day 2! Give us a bit of time. He and the boys will hopefully get a long great. Bryan is doing great, but had to go into work today to RC Willey because of the holiday. It will be a big day for him selling so he needed to go. The rest of the week, we'll see.

Happy Valentines Day to all of you that we didn't get a love shout out to. Thanks for all of your support and love. We couldn't do it without you!

Taylor's 7th Birthday

Birthday Taylor!

January 30th was the BIG day at our house! Taylor wasn't allowed to have a Birthday party this year (because it was an odd year.) but we decided to invite a few people who were available to come and sled with us up at Jolleys Ranch (Hobble Creek) canyon. Bryan (luckily) didn't have to work until later that day, so he got to come and spend some fun time with the Boys. A great time was had by all who came! I even tried to go down the hill a time or two until the tummy was getting tight!!

All bundled up ready to go!!!

They had so much fun, but after going sledding for a couple of hours we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Metler's House and ate pizza, drinks and had cake.

The night before we made the cake and all of the frosting that went on the cake. Instead of yucky frosting, I made "cream cheese" frosting, and boy was it good. It was probabally the best cake I have made in a while! Taylor chose to make a Transformer cake.

On Sunday, we had an Anderson family Birthday party. It was amazing! Taylor got to choose to have what he wanted for dinner, and he chose "Spaghetti". What everyone loves for dinner. But Leslie improvised and made "Manicotti" for the adults. I made bread sticks. There was quite a crowd there, but we had a ton of fun. Taylor got to play his two favorite games. BINGO, everyone wins, and then we got to do a pinata!

He is so lucky to have the aunts and uncles that have made his weekend the BEST! He had such a great time. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to love my boys soooooo much.

Our two boys are such daddy boys! The love every chance they have to spend with him. Which we lack just a little bit around our house because our work lives have been so busy.

Taylor is shown holding his new pillow case and wearing his new jamies! Grandma Anderson sewed him some new jamies, and he loves them so much. She has an amazing guy that does her digitizing! He is so good I can't even compare him to anyone she has ever had.

What a fun couple of days we had for Taylors 7th Birthday!!!!
