Sonja is 2!

I can't believe Sonja is 2. Crazy! She is such a funny little girl. She is quirky, sweet, sassy, tough, smart, and just fun. She is a little chatterbox and talks so well. Drake is her idol and follows him around everywhere. But she also knows how to push his buttons. He definitely is making her a tough little one though. Sonja is so full of life and happiness and she just makes Chris and I laugh all the time. We just love her so much! Our sweet, chunky little girl. (At her check up she was 20% height and 80% weight.)

Helping "make" her birthday cupcakes.

Birthday princess! She wanted a pink princess party. At least that is what drake convinced her that she should want.

Playing with drakes super hero costumes. She runs around saying Super Sonja. So cute!

Room switch...

For Sonja's birthday we got her a big girl bed. This week we decided to set it up. I can't believe she is getting so big! (Her birthday post is still to come). We moved her into what was the guest room and then put Lucy in the crib in Sonja's old room. It only took us till Lucy was 3 months old to put her in a proper nursery. Sorry Lucy! :)

I love baking with these two!

Field Trip!

Today was Drakes first field trip and Sonja, Lucy and I were lucky to get to tag along! It was a beautiful fall day, perfect for a day at the apple orchard/pumpkin patch. The kids had a blast picking their own pumpkin, going on a tractor ride, and playing on the hay bale. What a fun day!

Lucy Teisa Anderson

Since Lucy is 2 weeks old today I thought I should probably do a post on her birth.  Lucy was born on July 22nd 2013 at 12:11 P.M.  We had to have a c-section since I have had 2 previous ones so I got to schedule it for a week before my due date.  Both my other kids were born 2 days after their due date so it was so nice that I didn't have to deal with that last week of pregnancy.  Lucy was my smallest baby weighing in at 7 lbs 7 oz.  She came out screaming and I thought I was in for a fussy baby but after that first day she has calmed down a lot.  She is a really good baby actually (I forgot how much they sleep!).  She doesn't have to be held all the time (which is good because I can't really hold her all the time with my other two busy kids), she sleeps well and eats pretty well.  Like both of my other kids, she hasn't gained weight as fast as the doctor would like so we have had to go to a couple weight checks.  But she is fine, she just won't get chunky till she is 1 like my other kids.  Drake and Sonja love her (for the most part) and we are just trying to adjust to being a family of 5. 

The night before I had Lucy!

She is so sweet!

Chris's parents came out here to help out while I was in the hospital and when I came home.  It was so nice to have them here. The kids had a blast and I don't know what I would have done without them.  Now my mom gets here this weekend and I can't wait!

Drake and Sonja first meeting Lucy.

See, I told you she came out screaming.  She just wanted to stay in there I guess...

Lucy, I already can't remember my life or our little family without you in it.  We love you so much!  We are so grateful to be blessed with these amazing (and crazy!) three kids.  We thank God every day for them.
