Family Pictures

My sister Meagan took some pictures of us while we were home. She always does such a great job. We are so lucky to have such a talented Aunt Meggy. Thanks Meg! I love the way the pictures turned out. I love how it shows each of our cute little boys personalities. I can't believe how big these boys are getting and how our family is growing.

Anderson Family Fall 2012

 Kelly Belly:

Kelan is one of the sweetest boys ever. He has the biggest heart. He is always wanting to cuddle and give those he loves kisses. He is such a great big brother. He loves teaching Beckham all he knows. He loves taking care of Crew unless it has to do with diapers. From time to time I hear Kelan counting "1,2,3... right now Beckham or you're going to time out!" He keeps our house in order... hahaha. He is a very shy guy. He loves learning! He always asks to do his homework. He is an amazing artist. He is our little sweetheart.

 Becky Boo:

Beckham is our serious dude. He has always been so serious since he was a baby. He kind of just looks at you from the side of his eyes and gives you a little grin if you're lucky. He is our little smarty pants. He has a memory like his daddy. He love love loves sports! His favorite is basketball but he really loves anything that has to do with a ball. He is our little social butterfly. He loves going to church to play with his friends. This grin says it all... he is our little goof ball.

 Crew-Crew:

He is getting so big! He is in the 60th percentile for weight and the 97th for height. I love Crew's fluffy blonde hair. It kinda looks like he stuck his finger in a socket. Hahaha, we love it. Crew loves watching his big brothers. He hasn't started crawling yet. He doesn't really need to because he lays on the floor and watches his brothers run circles around him. They adore Crew just as much as he adores them. Crew loves his food! There really isn't a favorite... he loves it all! He got his first tooth yesterday and wasn't a fan... no fun! Crew is such a happy baby and loves anyone who looks his way.

Love these boys!

Fun, FUn, FuN!

There are so many fun free things to do around the Bay area. We went to Crab Cove and had a picnic on the bay and rode bikes. It was so fun and perfect weather. Everyone says that the best weather is in September and October and so far they are right. 

Crab Cove Visitor Center

 Checking out the visitor center.

 Riding bikes... pretty sure Beckham and Kelan almost took out 5 other bike riders. They haven't perfected the whole watch where you are going thing yet. We made it home with no casualties.

 Playing football in the water.

 My three handsome fellas.

 Love these boys.

 Mr. Crewbers

Crew is such a happy baby. He loves being out and about and loves just watching his brothers. His favorite part about he beach was definitely the sand.

 They know it's party time when dad is still home in bed when they get up.

 Crew loves it when dad feeds him. TV+yummy treat+Dad = Nasty mess!

 Crew is not the cleanest eater... he loves to suck his thumb in between every bite. So it is pretty much everywhere by the end of his meal.

 Can't take a picture without Kelan and Beckham wanting to join in.

 Pooped! Beckham crashed out after he finished his dinner with his dessert in his hand. This was literally a minute after I gave him his cookie. Pretty funny!

Besties came to town...

When we left Omaha we didn't say goodbye to the Dunyon's we just said "see ya soon". When they told us they were going to come visit it was like Christmas! It was so fun having Josh, Dana and Bella come party it up with us for one last hurrah before Kelan started school. We did all the fun touristy things and had a blast doing it.

San Fran

So when we headed into San Fran this time we were a little more prepared than the last. 1 we drove and 2 we had a seat for every kid to sit in when their feet got tired. I will have to say it was a success seeing all the sites. We went to fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghiradelli Square, Golden Gate bridge and Lombard Street.

Pier 39... as you can tell by Kelan's nose plugging it was a little on the stinky side. 

 Doesn't it look like a PArTy! It will be a sad day when we no longer all fit. We love our Dunderson road trips.

 My Favorite Lady.

 Don't mind the naked mermaid in the back.

 Hanging Out

It was just like old times but even better because we got to have a sleep over every night. The kids partied from sun up to sun down.

 Bella and Beckham watching Monsters Inc. with their MIKES.

 The trip consisted of lots of Boyfriend/ Girlfriend fights and lots of kissing and making up. :)

 Fairyland

The kids thought it was pretty magical. I thought it was a little cheesy but they loved it. I think Kelan even said he loved it more than Pizza Machine.

 Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk

Beach + Good Seafood + HWY 1 = an Amazing day!

 We were trying to dig the biggest hole EVER... obviously we didn't get very far.

 Spencer and Josh

 Gave up on the hole and built some sand Castles instead. . . It was a lot easier!

 Me and the boys

 The helicopter ride. Beckham was looking pretty nervous.

 AT&T Field

Braves vs. Giants. It was a miracle the Braves won!

 Good thing Josh made it for the game. He is a way better companion for a baseball game.

 Oakland Temple

Thanks for making the trip out to visit us. Miss you guys!

Happy Anniversary

Oh how time flies... 7 years later. It is crazy to look back on the past seven years. Our family has grown from 2 to 5. We have moved 6 times. Spencer has been a student at 4 different schools. Kelan our oldest is now 5 in elementary school and our youngest is 6 months getting ready to crawl. Life is a little crazy but we wouldn't have it any other way. Thank goodness we have each other. Love you Spencer!

Cousins and more...

We have been having lots of fun living so close to family. It is so nice to be close enough to go home for special events and also being close enough for weekend visitors. Here are a few of our fun family events...

Mikey got baptized! He is such a sweet boy and it is so cute how all the grandkids look up to him.

 We got to have a baby shower for Meagan and baby Ashlyn arrived. She is so beautiful and Meagan and Dwight are the cutest parents ever.

 Matt, Angelica and their cute little family came to visit. This was a real treat for us and especially the boys. They all have so much fun together. It was a PARTY!

 The BART ride into San Fran... the kids loved it! ... but 6 kids + 3 adults + crazy San Fran = Never again! We will definitely drive next time, sorry kiddos.

 On Pier 39... and again 6 kids + 3 adults + crazy San Fran = a serious lack of pictures.

 Trips to the beach...

 Happy Crew

Sweet Baby

 Trips to the pool...

and Camping Trips (in the backyard)

 

Gotta Love Summer time!

Miss you Kelan

It's official Kelan is a Kindergartner... So far he is loving it! It is only day two so we'll see how long this lasts. He is getting so big and I am sure going to miss my good helper with the boys. I am so excited to see him learn and grow into our little man. We love this guy!

Kelan insisted on wearing this the first day because he said it looked super cool.

 This is his awesome backpack that he picked out. It's his favorite... LEGO STAR WARS. He said when the kids ask him where he got it from he is going to tell the Target... and you better hurry 'cause there's only one left! Hahaha.

 His teacher is Mrs. Reneau, she is so nice!

 Kelan is a little shy when he meets new people. I could tell he was pretty nervous. He was being so brave... he has been waiting for this day all summer. Every day we would get ready to run errands Kelan would ask are we getting ready to go to school!

 I think that his little brothers are going to miss him the most. Beckham is pretty jealous that he doesn't get to go. He keeps asking where his school is and if it got lost.
