This and That

A Night at the Mall

During soccer season, Kurt told the girls that if they scored a goal he would take them to the mall and buy them their own Cold Stone ice cream. It apparently worked and we all enjoyed the fruits of their labor. After ice cream we just hung out at the mall for the evening.

Trevors Graduation

It seems just like yesterday that we were feeding dinner to Trevor every sunday when he was a freshman at BYU. Now he's all grown up and graduated. We're happy for him but sad at the same time because in a few weeks Trevor, Heather and little Jacoby are moving to Indiana for Dental school. We're going to miss them.

Spring Soccer

Soccer season was a tad bit colder than the previous years: however, we still had a lot of fun. Kurt coached both Sadie and Jessica's teams which made it a little busy but still rewarding. The girls LOVE having Coach Daddy Kurt with them for every game.

Sadie's favorite position was goalie (because you get to touch the ball with your hands) and she was very good at it.

Easton, well, he just likes any kind of ball you put in front of him.

Maybe next year Cassie.

BJ & Susan's Wedding

This past weekend we were able to go to BJ & Susan's Wedding. We had so much fun attending the wedding and following activities. We left Jessica and Sadie in school that morning so we only had 50% of our children for the day. Later on that evening we took all four kids with us up to Heber for the reception then up to Malad on Saturday. Here are some of the 100+ pictures Kurt and I took.

Heber...

Malad...visiting Uncle Dave's farm.

And my new favorite picture

Sadie's Basketball Season

Another season over. Another pair of expensive shoes worn and put to rest until the next pair of feet grow into them. Another year of coaching for the coolest dad on the court. And yet another year of "Dad, why do you keep putting me in sports when all I want to be is a cheerleader!"


If you know our little Sadie...cheer leading is definitely more of her thing; however, she really is athletic and we as parents are just helping her develop some skills that may be helpful to her in the future.

This was a great season for Kurt as a coach. They had a winning team that pretty much dominated the 1st & 2nd grade league. Sadie did awesome!!! She was more comfortable this year out on the court and took more shots than she did last year. I think having Kurt as the coach really makes a difference for our kids.

We had a kid on the team who is every father's dream child. He literally can dribble better than any kid I've ever watched play. Kurt even says that this kid can dribble better than himself. We even had a coach from a 5th grade team come up to Kurt after one of our games trying to recruit him. Amazing is all I can say about this kid.

Here's a little story Sadie wrote about basketball.

We love you Sadie, way to go !!!

Ahhhhhhhhh, finally my Mommy went to the store and bought me a blue towel. Now I'll never be wrapped up in a pink girly princess towel again. Thanks MOM!!!!!!!!!!

New Camera

We finally got ourselves a new working camera, and I can't stop playing with it. Here are a few pics I took the other day.

Easton is sporting his first haircut in this picture. Definitely not perfect, but he looks sooooo much older now. I had to hold him pretty tight while Kurt cut his hair. He did not like the whole process, so a second attempt will be make shortly.

Yes you can say it....Oh sooooo cute.

Cassie looking so sweet and precious.

Happy Birthday Easton

Easton had his first birthday on Saturday February 27th. I still can't believe he is 1 years old. We took him to the doctors for his one year check up and here are the stats...

• weight = 19 lbs even 25%
• height = 75%
• head circumference 75%

He definitely is not like any of his sisters, they were always up in the 80-95% for weight. We blame this on lack of interest in bottles. Thankfully he now takes a bottle, but did not for 11.5 months of his life.

Easton is not walking yet but this accomplishment is just around the corner. He loves to eat anything I'm eating as well as his fruits and snacks, vegetables are not exactly high on his list of favorites. He has his two bottom teeth and his upper front two teeth are just about ready to break thru. He is an excellent shopper and keeps most of his opinions to himselft while being pushed around in the cart. If I have to choose a little one to go shopping with me he usually is the one to join in on the fun. He is very good at church and will sit on my lap for the majority of Sacrament meeting. His sisters think that he is the cutest baby boy ever, and I agree. Easton is just too much fun and we love him sooooo much. Our family just wouldn't be the same without him.

I think Easton's favorite birthday gift would have to be the Wii his daddy bought for himself in celebration of Easton's birthday. Other than the Wii, Easton also got a lot of styling clothes, new bedding, his own plastic golf clubs, a bouncy ball, a book, some keys and a bubble blowing lawn mower. Easton's pretty lucky to have his birthday around tax returns.

My Grandma Andersen also had a birthday on February 1st and turned 100 years old. We went to her birthday party along with about 300 other people and were blessed to be with her for that special day. We love Grandma Andersen and the special spirit she has.

Congratulations

Congratulations Kurt on winning this year's fantasy football challenge!!!

Even Little E was in on the celebration.

Thanks Heather for the pics, you're awesome.
