Happy Birthday Andy!

I don't throw birthday parties every year...I think I've mentioned this before. But this was the year for Anderson. Happy 3rd Birthday buddy!

The day started with the birthday boy...



and the invitations...

we threw in some entertainment...


and some friends...

a pinata (homemade out of a paper bag)...

and some cake.


It all made for a great birthday party! Thank you Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dick for the birthday bounce house! It was entertaining the whole weekend!

Did I mention that the high for the day was 90 degrees?

What did YOU do last night?

Our night went something like this...

Happy

How can you not love someone who's
this genuinely happy to see you?

Utah

Ooohhhh, I love where we live.
Technically, this is 4 hours north of us.
Nevertheless...

Next Stop...American Idol

I think it's pretty safe to say
he didn't get his dad's singing voice...
which means he must have mine

Do you know your ABCs?

Shout Out

This is a shout out to my graphic designer brother-in-law who volunteered to take our pictures last weekend while we were up in Provo. Or his wife volunteered him. But either way, we are grateful for his patience, willingness, and photoshopping skills.

This small version of the shot doesn't do it much justice. But I love the background and the warmth of the picture. Thanks, Chris and Heidi. You guys are the best!

And here are a couple more for your viewing pleasure.


And...who else could take this sweet-looking innocent picture (which I love)...


and turn it into this...

(who else except my 80s rock-loving brother-in-law. And who else would print out an 8x10 for his office...only his 80s rock-loving brother).
