Fall Photos

I went to Carli's class and took some fall photos for the class... this is what each kid took home (of themselves of course). Carli looks like a Jack-o-Lateran with all her missing teeth ;)

Peter Pan 360

We had a chance to see a truly amazing show last Sat! We all enjoyed a fun dinner out and then a night at the theater!

The kids outside Peter Pan

Dinner and a show

Carli also lost 3 teeth last weekend!!!

Bryce and his Weapons

Bryce always has a weapon on hand. He usually has a sword down his back but if that is not available he will find a replacement. He even sleeps with his sword "in case the bad guys come."

Our photo shoot at NB

Every year the Anderson side of the family heads down to Newport Beach for a week of family fun! This year we were lucky enough to have my good friend and amazing photographer join us for a photo shoot! We had so much fun and she got some great images. I enjoyed not being in charge of getting the shots for once... but glad to be back on the other side of the camera again! ;) Thanks, ERIN!

Bryce starts Preschool

Following with tradition, we went out for ice cream for Bryce's first day of preschool

Bryce thinks school rocks and

he thought preschool deserved 2 thumbs up!

He likes his "packpack" just like Jeremiah wears!

I think he looked pretty cute in his first day of school outfit too... yep I think we are all going to like preschool. Can't believe that I have no more kids in diapers and all my kids are in school. It is really cool and sort of strange. When you are in the middle of having babies it feels like you will never really be out of the crib, diapers, spit up days... but they do pass and not without a little tug at the heart strings.

Back 2 school and a look back at the SUMMER

Carli started 1st grade this year. She loves her teachers but thinks school is looong!

Jeremiah is in 4th grade now! He love his teacher and class too. He wrote a note to me for back to school night that said, "I actually want to go to school tomorrow." I think he is going to have a good year.

The last week of summer we went golfing, bowling, swimming and to the beach!

We took a trip to Torry Pines (one of my fav beaches) to visit a cousin I haven't seen in over 10 years!

We went with adventure group to Sea Life and the kids barely exscaped the sharks!


We made puzzles with Uncle Ry at the beach!

Won army guys and goodies at the arcade....

Jeremiah played video games while Bryce stayed by the ski ball


The kids took a ride on the merry-go-round....Bryce had to take his gun along... it comes everywhere with us these days!

We took a trip down to the dock to watch seals and birds

Did a lot of burying people in the sand

and making sand castles.

Watched the sunset at the beach while enjoying some food from Rubys

looked for shells by the seashore

Enjoyed some lazy days

and a day at the Wild Animal Park








We painted a fence.... and we wish summer could last forever!
