Crazy Life!

Almost every day, I think about the blog and how I should update it, and then I don't...Lots has changed since the last post. We got a new car and we love it (but I don't have any pictures of it.) Mason has learned how to actually scoot forward and he is becoming very mobile. He also thinks that he needs to pull himself to his feet on anything he can. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring because we really want to go paintballing.

This is just payback for all the torture he has suffered!

Daniel can be such a funny kid sometimes! This is a new penguin blanket.

Mason really loves his payback sessions.

This is Mason's duck blanket...

Well, see you in a couple of months!

Monthly update!

So, I sit here and think to myself "I should really update the blog, it has been a while." And then I lay on the floor next to my beautiful baby boy and get attacked by my other beautiful boy...forget the blog. What fun being a father is!

Mason has recently started to really find his voice. Sometimes, it sounds like he is being murdered and he is laying on the floor playing with his toys. Daniel has really been able to make the little guy laugh alot and become vocal. I think Mason is learning how to get Daniel is trouble already. Watch this video and you will understand what I mean.

Yes, I still get toys for Christmas! Thanks mom dad and wife!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Andersen's!

Mason is learning how to roll over! Great action shot Kelli!

Look at that Smiley boy!


Daniel was making Gingerbread houses at school. (Except they were made out of Grahm crackers, so shouldn't they be called something different?)

Daniel was such a HUGE help when we were removing the massive snow from the Christmas storm!

Here is our family portrait from Christmas morning!

This is the Christmas play at the Pratt's house...Daniel was a lazy wiseman.

Grandpa on the guitar and...

Daniel on the drums...and we all survived!

Thanksgiving etc...

Mason's first m&m's.

Matt thought he would look pretty with earrings We finally got the tree up after Daniel kept bugging us for about a week

Such a cute boy

Thanksgiving turkey, has all that we are thankful for written on the feathers

Had to take pictures in the santa outfit now cause it won't fit him by christmas. Grandma bought the wrong size.

Daniel's play at school for their thanksgiving feast

Already a colts fan...just like his dad

GO COLTS!!!
So, I have gotten really lazy with the blog and it seems that the only time I am willing to update is after a holiday...:)

Halloween update!

So the pictures are definately not posted in chronological order (I was too lazy to move them around.) Daniel got a drum set from his father for his birthday. Luckily for us, he is willing to shut the door when he plays them and does not spend that much time on them.

Mason has learned how to smile and loves to smile at everyone!

We blessed Mason on November 2. He looked so handsome in his little outfit. Thank you to everyone that came and supported us and came to Daniel's birthday.

This was the more attractive of the two Halloween outfits that I wore. Funny thing is, I went to work and several of the kids there said I could totally pull the look off...maybe I should think about a makeover.

Here is the more embarrasing of the two outfit, do I really need to say more?

Kelli is a master pumpkin carver since we got the electric carver.

Mason has learned how to smile and is now smiling all the time. Even in the middle of the night when he wakes up hungry, he sometimes smiles when he sees you. Mason is also working on grasping things. He has started to reach for toys on his gym and other toys.

Daniel was so proud of this pumpkin. It actually has two faces, but I only put this picture on the blog.

Look at our two little boys! We had so much fun on Halloween!

Monthly update!

Yeah, it has been a little while since I updated. Crazy how busy things can get. Here are some pictures from the last month of the Andersen Family.

Daniel finally got hurt on his bike a couple of weeks ago. He took a header over his handlebars and cushioned his landing with his face...
Daniel had been begging and begging to feed Mason. Doesn't he look so happy?
I am holding up two fingers and Daniel is holding up one because that is the order we finished in "Memory." Yes, it is a humbling experience losing to a 4 year old in a game of memory...and I have a Master's degree?
We went to Vegas for Kelli's nephew's baptism. We spent ALL day at Circus Circus and this was just one of the many stops we made.
Daniel loved this little slingshot type ride.

Yay for bumper cars! Yes, this was September and we were swimming! Vegas is awesome for some things.

Here is the birthday boy!!

Look at our little man! He is growing so fast already. Oh, and yes, that does says Dad's team!

Daniel wanted to give Mason a horsey ride. Mason looks like he is having fun doesn't he?

Mason is so funny and starting to show his personality already! When he gets excited he starts kicking! We think it is really funny because it looks like he is trying to start a motorcycle. This clip actually shos him getting both legs in the action.

Mason's Little Cry!

Mason has been a pretty good baby so far. He rarely actually cries. I thought that I would post this video of what Mason usually does when he is hungry. We thought it was kind of cute!

Daniel's First Day of School and Mason's First Week

Daniel was so excited to to get to go back to school. He is only in pre-school again this year since he won't be 5 until November. He was so proud of his new Lightning McQueen backpack that we had to take a picture of it. Daniel is also very excited to have Mason in the family and asks to hold him on a daily basis. He also loves to stump his mom with difficult questions about why he can't help feed the baby (He doesn't understand why there is no bottle for him to hold) or about how the doctor got the baby out of mom's belly. He is curious and isn't afraid to ask questions.

Daniel loves his little brother! Don't they look beautiful together?
He is also a very curious boy and asks about all of the little baby parts.
Mason tuckers out his mommy...

Mason is such a good little baby and doesn't fus much at all. He cries very rarely and is a good sport about us picking on him.
