Signage

Didn't anyone think to proof read this sign? I would have suggested some better wording.

Cute couple

Averie and L are best friends. They also love each other. They hold hands and hug and have so much fun together. As timid as he is about performing he was willing to do it for her.

Its mah Burfday

I celebrated my 23rd birthday last month ;) My cute hubby made me Kasi Hansen's pie which is a family favorite. It is smooth, creamy and SOO rich. If we ever make it for other people they don't love it because of its richness, but we never care because then there is more for us!

Then we went out on the town. I don't know if I've ever publicly expressed my love for, no not my husband, but our Vespa who we affectionately call Vespa-Ho. She zips us around town in no time and because of her we get to go all over the city when we are on dates. So for my burfday we went to Brooklyn for a wonderful organic meal at this place. Thanks for sitting Charissa! And happy 24 years to me! Wow I am getting old!

Thank you Paula Dean

I was watching Paula Dean while on the stairclimber at the gym, smart I know. She made these delicious looking cinnamon rolls that looked SOO easy to make so I went right home and made them and promptly ate most of them. (the reason my icing is brown is cuz I made it with Rapadura instead of powdered sugar and I cooked it too long so it got hard, but it was still yummm.)

My little teeanager

E is quite the teenager complete with the attitude and hormones. Sometimes though I just sit and look at her and think, its so sad how fast time goes!

My mom finally found her a pair of non prescription glasses, she wears them all the time! Here she is at Mia's with some of her shoes on :)

Anderson Family VACAY!!

The Anderson Fam took their first family vacation EVER!! We went to Disney World! It was so much fun and everyone was SOO good and happy and the best part, it was outside so that means no blinkety blinking in the pictures! Yay! FYI this is a VERY picture heavy post so if you are not a big fan of the Andersons and their cute widdle faces, I suggest you skip it all together.

Can't wait to get out of the city!!

Finally in Orlando, just waiting for the bags. We had a driver pick us up and drop us off at the airport! He held a little sign that said "Anderson" on it. His name was Paul and he was so nice, he even took us to get groceries! Oh and he offered to babysit our kids while we ran in to the store. No thanks Paul, we'll take the kids and our bags with our valuables in them thank you very much.

Clean sheets in a big bed, in a room that we can jump up and down in....heaven!! The first thing we did when we got there was yell and run around and jump on the beds ( we have very thin walls/floors at home so this was a treat)

Um yeah, I suck at dancing in all forms, even the easy setting on Dance Revolution.

Ready. Aim.....

Fire!

And miss, bummer. She still won a bunch of other junk though so don't worry.

The shows at Sea World were top notch and had the kids rolling in the aisles.....

The lady behind E thought it was funny too.....

The mornings were freezing but each day turned out beautiful. Don't I have the cutest kids?

Magic Kingdom! The lines were crazy everywhere......

But the kids made their own fun! (this was a pass needed for the ride and it proved to be quite entertaining)

This is my favorite pic of the trip! I just love E, she is so creative and spunky and comes up with the funniest things!

So, Alice was clearly rented out by this family but we took the opportunity to steal a picture. You can see how much Alice loves E.

OK, I know these people. I don't know how I do, but I do. I have a thing with faces and if I see someone I think I know then it will drive me nutso until I figure it out. I am 80% sure they are in our Stake in NYC. Anyone know who they are?

The Fairy God-Mother was really an old NYer in disguise. How do I know this? Right after this picture she scolded E for being in a tank top in that cold (65degree) weather. It was a dead give away.

These were not like I remembered them. In fact they were so gross I took 2 bites and threw it away. I never waste food, it was just that bad. It didn't resemble turkey at all. It tasted like a big fat juicy hot dog, and to top it off it peed on my leg. (if anyone has had one of these you know what I mean. its why they wrap them so tight at the bottom) Can apparently liked it a lot more than I. And yes K dawg, it gave me a headache.

The obligatory Mickey ears....now with sequins! She wore this for the next 2 weeks following our return, so cute!

Isn't my hubby so handsome? And look at those arms!

Bootylicious!

Scariest. Character. Ever.

Sea World was my favorite park, it was so beautifully done and the kids loved it.

I love dolphins. When I came here as 9 year old, we were allowed to pet the dolphins, that was the highlight of my trip. My dad still talks about how excited I was. I also got to participate in the Shamu show which my mom reminded me of.

I love this picture. I wish that the Orca's were clearer. But when you go up to the tank you really grasp their enormous size. It was amazing to watch them swimming around.

It was so neat being so close to the action.

We were at Sea World just 2 days before the trainer was killed. It was so sad to hear about her death. She had had a speaking part at the beginning of our show but she didn't participate in it.

We rented a car on Sunday and because of a mishap we got a free GPS and a free car seat, nice! We went to church and visited the temple grounds. It was so gorgeous and the weather was perfect.

And then we went to the beach.

And saw this guy, who really looks like Ben from Lost.....

Sea World again (they have a 14 day ticket that you can use whenever so since it was so close to our hotel we would just walk over when we wanted)

We tuckered these guys out everyday which doesn't happen very often! Thanks for a great trip Can!!
