They turned out pretty good, with a few changes to be made...lookin' to win, but know there are a lot of cookoff veterans that will get in my way.<br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div>The deck is awesome. They got all but the trim done and we've gotten to enjoy a few cocktails on it. Can't wait till it's completely finished and we really get to enjoy it. Emmett and Jolene play on it almost everyday. It's kinda like having an extra room on the house. We've started pulling the weeds out in the yard, only to discover a large amount of grass growing beneath it. All the seed we planted last year is really filling in great. We are going to continue the back-breaking task of pulling the weeds so maybe we'll have a yard by the 4th. </div><br /><br /><div>We celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary while mom watched the runchkins. Luke and I got to try out an out of the way restaurant that is half way up the North Fork, called the Trail Shop. It was good food, good wine, a great view with great company. It was slightly raining and a bit chilly, so they had the fireplace burning...it was nice. We stopped in town for another cocktail before heading home to relieve mom. We've got two more events this week where mom is filling in. Luke has an cocktail/art event on Friday night and we have a BBQ with friends on Saturday night. Luke and I are living it up for our anniversary week!</div>Next weekend for Father's Day we are headed to Utah to visit Trish and Cody for a bit of camping. Mom and Chrissy are driving, from separate locations, and we are meeting there on Thursday night. Should be a great time, weather permitting for the camping part....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pnVA46b2Gs46v0mLPUNJSepOCEULRcWg8xYYha2JupHmpBv0kz-VCKw4Sdn0yCJkbK1aHNxJG6M9jsdvnqJDUe534cIeh1Z5LH8q3_IECf3Skily_f2TkSSBCV9ELBzAk4D35oxtlKbO/s1600/deck-almost+finished.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616406761518483154" style="WIDTH: 400px;

Emmett's school had a Parent's Day tea on the last day of school. Luke and I, with Jolene, of course got to meet Emmett at school and he gave us some homemade flowers and made us a snack of fruit kebabs. Mrs. McLain had sat each kid down and ask them a round of questions that she then lamanated into a placemat. It was pretty funny stuff. Emmett rarely came home with artwork, guess he's not much into drawing as you can see from his picture of our family. Can't wait to see what he learns next year when he's in a three day class!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoVZ9FQcOyE5485aINuuDgSpDuVsc9jJl50Yy-ChvSjzQ0u-vjoD122MRogttqlLZYrX5vYQZukLErmjzDWb4rpFvVluKHewuJfsBeOHwj_oL1LweQZJSo9ZUp3MnIwhP3-5qypzhX6Ku8/s1600/Parents+placemat.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608902223503265602" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 309px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoVZ9FQcOyE5485aINuuDgSpDuVsc9jJl50Yy-ChvSjzQ0u-vjoD122MRogttqlLZYrX5vYQZukLErmjzDWb4rpFvVluKHewuJfsBeOHwj_oL1LweQZJSo9ZUp3MnIwhP3-5qypzhX6Ku8/s400/Parents+placemat.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVQ5DsYvcRem64K8tnwX18SVAymVJV8Y7kzUlPB9zPEGDcz41I2vYi-2gDeUYx4R63UeBf0ZMi-W8tQwiXKVL51Ksu1HVkxkU3l5po81wMXnmPlczbn3yUNS19zu-_E_-YwxSOERfMOcU/s1600/Emmett+art.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608902213426130562" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 309px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVQ5DsYvcRem64K8tnwX18SVAymVJV8Y7kzUlPB9zPEGDcz41I2vYi-2gDeUYx4R63UeBf0ZMi-W8tQwiXKVL51Ksu1HVkxkU3l5po81wMXnmPlczbn3yUNS19zu-_E_-YwxSOERfMOcU/s400/Emmett+art.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-69234807343464461832011-05-17T13:14:00.006-06:002011-05-23T12:50:25.688-06:00High Five, Mouse!We had a great time visit with family and friends in the Springs this past weekend. We got in Friday after a pretty long drive with the kiddos and were treated to Deb's Swedish meatballs, along with a few glasses of wine(for opening night). Aunt Amy came down to visit while we were in town. It was good to get to catch up with her. Saturday, Mark and Deb hosted a BBQ, so a few friends could visit with us and the kids. John and Wendy came and made these awesome white cloud martinis! yum! Sarah, Ryan and the girls also came down. Always so much fun to get to see them, and the girls are instant Jolene watchers! Tim just happened to be in town after he completed a half marathon with his sister in California. The kids LOVE uncle Timmy cause he gets out there and plays hard with them. Lily and Anna kept choosing him to be the alien that was supposed to chase them. Poor guy, but you know he loves it! Lots of drinks were consumed and tons of games played. Amy, Sarah, Deb and I even played a drunk game of Sorry! We wound up convincing the Christensens' to stay a bit longer for dinner so the "kids" could all hang out longer. A great way to spend a Saturday, for sure. On Sunday, we went out for breakfast and met the cousins for a game of Bowling. This was Emmett's first time bowling and he did pretty well(considering he was having diabetes issues-crazy high numbers). He bowled a 73, with bumpers of course, and can't wait to go again. Monday, finally brought on some sunshine. Luke and Mark got to go golfing with Uncle Bobby, while Deb and I took the kids shopping. At naptime, Deb and I went out for a run, which wound up being a walk up a huge hill and a jog down the other side! At least we got some physical activity in this weekend. Another first for the kids, Mark and Deb too us to a Skysox game on Monday night. They are the farm team for the Rockies. It was bit chilly so we didn't stay for too long, maybe til the 5th inning or so. The mascot is a Fox and the kids were not sure of him at first, but by the end they were calling out to him and we got their picture with him. Jolene, I think, stole the show when she started yelling " High Five, Mouse" and " High Five Bunny!" Everyone around us was cracking up. Not once did she call him a fox. Certainly was the funny catch phrase for the rest of the trip.<br />Most of the pics were on Sarah's camera and Debbie's camera.....hint, hint, hint ;)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1_0KOHEAQaqIrGHJDJ8PsMrIGJlPaXGgL2W3OtLtMFVCyaEsSOmhMbCi81sdZLip114Sw7L7iczfaP7UsmzuHvSmyqHrp7Y9KG1wwhtqkrzK4DWcdj6okQNnhuQeMu55cdxzyf4uIX5Oa/s1600/start+of+drive.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608903697706677090" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1_0KOHEAQaqIrGHJDJ8PsMrIGJlPaXGgL2W3OtLtMFVCyaEsSOmhMbCi81sdZLip114Sw7L7iczfaP7UsmzuHvSmyqHrp7Y9KG1wwhtqkrzK4DWcdj6okQNnhuQeMu55cdxzyf4uIX5Oa/s400/start+of+drive.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuiBvenoOfBl93OKAopJqSW2BYaAe_zD7IVm0n2imDNK1oCJwlLogzZM7eZI25caImbiYce5Fzzm0CMDQCXSDR08MULLgXBnIg-iCS-L8ldgxc9apSG5vuIZqxSxQsGjXPxq-8xEM786LV/s1600/planting+with+gpa.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608903692292492562" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuiBvenoOfBl93OKAopJqSW2BYaAe_zD7IVm0n2imDNK1oCJwlLogzZM7eZI25caImbiYce5Fzzm0CMDQCXSDR08MULLgXBnIg-iCS-L8ldgxc9apSG5vuIZqxSxQsGjXPxq-8xEM786LV/s400/planting+with+gpa.JPG" border="0" /></a>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-21214230861898611432011-05-10T13:08:00.003-06:002011-05-20T13:14:03.492-06:00Pampered Chef PartyI got to host a Pampered Chef party on Monday morning. Lots of great women and wonderful conversation! It's been a while since I've been to a pampered chef party so there are some really great things these days. I wound up getting some great kitchen items and more off my wish list than I expected! Mom came for a bit, but was stricken with a sinus infection leading to an ear infection just a few days before she and Chrissy leave for Italy! Plus, with all the kids, it's a pretty crazy party anyway.....we are always outnumbered by the kids. Most of us have two kids, some with three....it can be pretty darn crazy sometimes! Mom leaves for Ft. Collins and then we pack up and leave for the Springs to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a long weekend. busy, busy, busy.Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-51991630299137876392011-05-08T12:57:00.002-06:002011-05-20T13:08:15.836-06:00Mothers day weekendI got to make the most of the Mother's day weekend. Starting with Friday eve, when Jessica and I got to drive up to Billings. We signed up for the Womens Run on Saturday morning and decided it would be better if we stayed in Billings the night before. What that translates to is "we get to go out in Billings without kids!". Jess and I had a reasonable amount of wine and made our way to about three places. We split the most amazing goat cheese and fig pizza. I could have one right now.....We got and ran the next morning despite the looming bad weather. It actually was not too bad until an hour or so after the race, when it started to drizzle. Jessica and I wound up being 40 and 35th in our age group of 400 + women, and running 2miles in about 19 mins. There was about 8500 women total signed up for the race. Pretty awesome to be a part of something that big. We got to do some fun shopping after the race and once again we were very excited to be sans kiddos. Jessica's husband and kids met her up in Billings that afternoon and I drove home to continue the great weekend. I awoke on Sunday morning to both kids in bed with a huge singing card and a new bead for my bracelet. They were pretty excited about the singing card. We spent Sunday afternoon at mom's for a nice dinner and a few glasses of wine. Nothing like getting to consume a whole weekend on myself!<br />Happy Mother's Day to you all!<br />Jessica has the pics from the race-since I forgot my camera! I will post when I get them.Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-39618933241634930592011-05-01T19:54:00.007-06:002011-05-01T20:57:19.838-06:00What a crappy weekend!The kids and Luke and I have been sick with colds but the kids seemed to get worse this weekend. The events start with Emmett and I going to pick up Grammy so we could pick up our Bountiful Baskets of fruit and veggies. The delivery truck was delayed so the pickup time was pushed back about an hour. Bummer. So mom, Emmett and I took my car thru the carwash and went back to her house for a bit to wait. Emmett started saying that he needed to go home and was acting kinda tired. Well, he had just gotten some new window stickers from Grammy and he just wanted to go home and put them up...right? Anyway, we load up to get our baskets and I realize that I have missed a call from Luke. It seems that the water canal next to our house is stopped up and overflowing and we now have a river flowing threw our backyard. Me, being the water master for the association, needs to work on stopping the flood. Luke thinks he's got it for the time being and says to get the basket then head home. Mom and I decided that she and Emmett will stand in line for the baskets and by the time I get back, they should be done and I/Luke will pick them up. I drop them off at the front door and head home. Mom calls and says that Emmett is not feeling well and no longer wants to stand on his own. I am almost home and send Luke with Emmett's meter, juice and other supplies to help out mom. Meanwhile I call my friend Brandi who I know is in line for her basket, and ask her to find mom and help out with Emmett. Luke and I trade off at home, he tears off towards the hospital(where our pick up was for baskets) and I load Jolene, who has woken up from her nap, and take off to shut down water so I may try to stop the flood. Crisis averted with the flood. I shut off water and cleaned out stopped up grates and get back to meet mom and Emmett coming up the driveway. Emmett's blood glucose number was fine, but he still looked terrible. It hits me that we need to check him for ketones, stuff we just learned about on Monday while at the doctor. Luke had earlier in the week picked up all of the prescriptions <em>except</em> the ketone strips(cause they are crazy $$$$) and figured we could look into where we might get them less expensive, thinking that we won't need these anytime soon. I take off for the pharmacy and empty my wallet for the strips and get back to check Emmett's blood for ketones. They are sky high, meaning something is wrong. By the numbers written down by the dietitian, if the number was over 3, we should head to the ER. It was 3.3 so I first call Jodie our dietitian to check and she gave us the steps to start to bring it down. I am on the verge of mental breakdown at this point. Literally the shit hit the fan in all of 2 hours. Emmett's numbers recover to a normal range. Once Emmett was out of the woods, Mom and I opened a bottle of wine and tried to recover from the last 3 hours. I finally know for sure that Jolene takes after me....she picked up my empty wine glass and tries to sip/imitate from the glass. Girl of my own heart-see picture below! Then, Luke drives in with his new truck. After he took supplies to Emmett and mom, he went to the Ford Dealership and finally got his new F-150 ecoboost truck. It's awesome, but very overshadowed by the crazy day. Mom heads home(taking the backroads I'm sure--we had a few glasses ;) and we all settle in for the night. Jolene goes to bed with a snotty nose and terrible cough, but with a little Advil, I'm sure she'll be ok. Emmett decides he needs to watch a movie. Whatever. About 9 pm, the phone rings. It's the asshole whose pipe clogged and flooded our yard. He's pissed at me for shutting down water and arguing with me about stupid stuff-I won't bore you with the details. I hang up the phone and lose it. Tears, tears, tears-maybe too much wine, but I'm gonna argue a really tough day.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95M8DXHl01GbbkZhqhdG90xmVSmjkUhyphenhyphenXyVbgU58ZzoMPiCel_euYt1s4rw0hnUlju4FyIe9-yl8tAun5_tt4kwsJk9nQx9_-gFSAec0Ds-8v_I3k-1sgbukSQvVRYXcDm34pBqnyDsxO/s1600/daddy+and+new+truck.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601936907762357762" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95M8DXHl01GbbkZhqhdG90xmVSmjkUhyphenhyphenXyVbgU58ZzoMPiCel_euYt1s4rw0hnUlju4FyIe9-yl8tAun5_tt4kwsJk9nQx9_-gFSAec0Ds-8v_I3k-1sgbukSQvVRYXcDm34pBqnyDsxO/s400/daddy+and+new+truck.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwN1YgIAO8V-87ALjqu9P-xdIOAmlvw6U8G71P5IxYLxoIAIDq12VWv6vJN_ehrAsRZlsVFwECljCwcQIK1Q6P85PXdsvoTXVuT16g4WoROFl_HNwB8W0psVM74OQqeOo7J8sz6JQW6fI/s1600/my+little+girl..for+sure.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601936910339524642" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwN1YgIAO8V-87ALjqu9P-xdIOAmlvw6U8G71P5IxYLxoIAIDq12VWv6vJN_ehrAsRZlsVFwECljCwcQIK1Q6P85PXdsvoTXVuT16g4WoROFl_HNwB8W0psVM74OQqeOo7J8sz6JQW6fI/s400/my+little+girl..for+sure.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Luke and I are up most of the night with Jolene who can't sleep cause she's so stuffy and of course worried about Emmett. The kids on Sunday morning both look ok, a bit rough to start, but then perk up when it turns out to be a pretty sunny day and we all go outside for a bit. The kids hopped in the bed of Daddy's new truck and played while dad played too- checking out all the buttons, etc. After awhile, we headed back in(it's still cold ya know) and Jolene wants to watch a movie. Whatever. Sick kids get just about anything they want just so they are comfortable and not whining. Luke, Jolene and Emmett wind up falling asleep on the couch. A much needed little snooze. Then Emmett wakes up and is roasting. 103. and the ketones are back. and he is almost in tears saying he doesn't feel good. OK- call Grammy in for duty one more time to stay with Jolene cause we are taking Emmett to the ER. They put in an IV for fluids, took some labs and then we waited. The doctor came in and told us that he had an ear infection in the right ear, which is causing all of the diabetes issues. Whenever a diabetic is sick, their numbers are thrown way off. We were in the ER for about 4 hours total. While Emmett is finally starting to perk up, Mom thinks Jolene is getting worse. I had to stop at the pharmacy, again, to pick up an antibiotic for Emmett to start in the morning and then head home to possibly take Jolene to Urgent Care to see what is going on with her. I just happened to text Brandi while I was at the pharmacy and she informed me that Urgent Care had closed five minutes ago. Poor Joey. More Advil for her and pray tonight is not as bad as last and I'll take her in tomorrow after Emmett's follow up appointment with his doctor. While driving home I called Chrissy to whine. I knew who hadn't heard my woes yet and would be the best person to call. And she was...always is. Doctor Chrissy prescribed at least two glasses of wine for my troubles. For once I will follow doctors orders!</div><br /><div>As I sit here in front of my space heater, just after reading Emmett night time books, sipping on my cocktail, it feels as if it was all a dream. Except that I am exhausted and drained and probably going to bed-once my cocktail is finished. </div>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-23096078704184179532011-04-28T19:46:00.000-06:002011-05-01T19:54:05.985-06:00t-ball team<div>Emmett went to T-ball on Thursday night and they got their team gear.

He is excited(only cause it's blue-otherwise I don't think he knew what was about to happen.) to have a "vacation" with just mom and dad in Billings and get to stay overnight in a HOTEL! Grammy stayed with Jolene so we could spend this time with Emmett and only focus on him while we were learning this whole new process. Emmett did very well during our two hour training and got to pick out a new toy afterwards and then treated to a boomerang burger at Outback for dinner. The first night was a bit rocky but went to the doctor the next morning and worked out the kinks-literally. It seems there were some air bubbles in the tubing that caused a lack of insulin which in turn caused high blood glucose numbers. Since then, we have not becomes pros, but are well on our way to making sure Emmett does not have four shots a day anymore! He is VERY excited about no more shots. We just have to change the site of his tubing every three days. He is very unsure about this and takes a bit of bribing to get it done. But if you recall back in September when all of this started, that was the case as well AND it was four times a day that we were bribing him. If you ask him what his favorite part about the trip was, he'll tell you that he got to stay in a HOTEL and eat breakfast in bed. it's the little things ya know?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrEoywXml-L554OpCsxmFsrdQUUyXC66mFJabBkJCt8hGFXLP0T3geNJDZX2cEShzhxmQhHZpGilHPSow8G_NfpwRlEySNki1XaaOCy4kMJCD59r8yFJiAsj-fXdbR_Vn9q3-G44NFzQt/s1600/new+pump+new+toys.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601927257155624946" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinrEoywXml-L554OpCsxmFsrdQUUyXC66mFJabBkJCt8hGFXLP0T3geNJDZX2cEShzhxmQhHZpGilHPSow8G_NfpwRlEySNki1XaaOCy4kMJCD59r8yFJiAsj-fXdbR_Vn9q3-G44NFzQt/s400/new+pump+new+toys.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-RHTMqDpn_2wduH1IkXoccZO3fWlUbkBaEQ3C98kCRDOZJAZWFuHOG7w4KzqRTbR4GYCz3YfSpDRZPkz2C4lDHU3fVPr4yqZx6euvGtFAVElai79MuE1fexmmiIxPQmXLN26x7XtbOMsI/s1600/new+shark+toy.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601927252845903506" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-RHTMqDpn_2wduH1IkXoccZO3fWlUbkBaEQ3C98kCRDOZJAZWFuHOG7w4KzqRTbR4GYCz3YfSpDRZPkz2C4lDHU3fVPr4yqZx6euvGtFAVElai79MuE1fexmmiIxPQmXLN26x7XtbOMsI/s400/new+shark+toy.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim7LRwM4wm7XldyjXqxfh9gYCqXpM8Ot6X14gr4ALdDrYhZUO4iO3IUxj_mDZdmGpJB7h6SsxkYoY-CdBf-aRJlQHIndGU3XeK9B1B74aElsApvhbVR1hqMKbWDMccleYurw_B8LJwKRg4/s1600/cereal+in+bed.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601927246176847090" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim7LRwM4wm7XldyjXqxfh9gYCqXpM8Ot6X14gr4ALdDrYhZUO4iO3IUxj_mDZdmGpJB7h6SsxkYoY-CdBf-aRJlQHIndGU3XeK9B1B74aElsApvhbVR1hqMKbWDMccleYurw_B8LJwKRg4/s400/cereal+in+bed.JPG" border="0" /></a>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-17549154130237809902011-04-26T20:30:00.010-06:002011-04-27T11:08:42.415-06:00Easter fun<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj43WEv1alSm3SLRSoHHxo9vtxURzJTZrWsQmkIbj_bgSYy40WT95hS_2SZPdYSzGWoYOA5Ozye5iW1okDZBidTuY5s9iH9WdCrImywwUhhlR-XlYsUbh1o0aIphjS8Abk-mlaGUlY8xPtv/s1600/family+easter.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600311381054157602" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj43WEv1alSm3SLRSoHHxo9vtxURzJTZrWsQmkIbj_bgSYy40WT95hS_2SZPdYSzGWoYOA5Ozye5iW1okDZBidTuY5s9iH9WdCrImywwUhhlR-XlYsUbh1o0aIphjS8Abk-mlaGUlY8xPtv/s400/family+easter.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>The easter bunny stopped by our home Sunday morning. He left an egg by each of the kids' doors and hid eggs in the house for them to find. They had a few pieces of candy, but this years he left coins and cash! Pretty exciting stuff. Jolene has a new found love for jelly beans. I caught her with an entire carrot that was once full of beans half eaten and she wasn't giving the carrot back until it was empty. So she sat in a chair next to dad and pretty much darn near finished the whole thing. Until she dropped it and Emmett swooped in and ate a handful! Probably saved her from a horrible stomach ache so we didn't mind. Most of the pictures could have some really funny captions. I'm sure you will see what I mean. Joey couldn't find an egg right in front of her and Emmett would find an egg, open it, scream with joy and finally move on to another hidden egg. His hunt took a bit longer than Joey's. Later for dinner we headed over to Grammy's for a ham feast and the few eggs that the bunny left there too. We pulled up to the house and Emmett was practically out of his seat screaming that the bunny had been here to and "give me my basket!" What a gorgeous day we had here. The kids got to play out back with bubbles and trikes, while we watched with glasses of wine. It was a great way to end the day.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7YwLBM6ZSiCzNauGxNvLT429sNc0W7IvUoNYeaCy7ZDVBe4ScReoTwTjA7gOPGImUXzdEY17-QlWh1OvQECOkkato-f6uZ7WHnEWqq_Gg8jNWzKiJgaHZ8Q6MvVrctVV_OhA15LMyvEG/s1600/emmett+with+egg.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600091224904513858" style="WIDTH: 400px;

Our trip was uneventful, but the boys had fun! Luke and Emmett joined some friends-Jaren and Tara, Justin and Judy and Jake and Morissa on their hike up Heart Mountain. Luke and Emmett went for as far as they thought they could go and made it to the big meadow before the mud and snow was just too much. Luke had brought the backpack to carry Emmett when he had had enough. Luke and Emmett went down and had lunch in the car and went home for naps. The rest of the crew made it to the top. They said it was thigh deep snow in spots but the view form the top was worth it. Mom and I got home just in time for Jolene and I to change clothes and join in their BBQ. The kids rode their trikes around and had a ball, trying to soak up the last bit of sunshine for the day.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6vs-8w5qj3OOhpTQD_vA7476N-Z47RwdOKTqxB6juw6InQTRAwPx3NBPeN5fbKHK6nW2JugCfr-y8VYRQwXCnva-Fssel7QZEnc3hti7J3t0kLMU1hMZNiKsA2RzwGnw4orkArcgQW8H9/s1600/trail+head.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599208772779172274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6vs-8w5qj3OOhpTQD_vA7476N-Z47RwdOKTqxB6juw6InQTRAwPx3NBPeN5fbKHK6nW2JugCfr-y8VYRQwXCnva-Fssel7QZEnc3hti7J3t0kLMU1hMZNiKsA2RzwGnw4orkArcgQW8H9/s400/trail+head.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2IiRnFb1aEZTnuww46KLLFerTeW-vq1F0sjFpB4iNcRTehr4yYvbWT28KgwmwRKwIG2EJZk3uLCaGzg2Me5wuXfJ-E-49d0laLuSf7zUbNyLuVusQXhmmlJvnwQhkrBYMckx_I-khyc6g/s1600/emmett+in+gear+for+hike.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599208766046544210" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2IiRnFb1aEZTnuww46KLLFerTeW-vq1F0sjFpB4iNcRTehr4yYvbWT28KgwmwRKwIG2EJZk3uLCaGzg2Me5wuXfJ-E-49d0laLuSf7zUbNyLuVusQXhmmlJvnwQhkrBYMckx_I-khyc6g/s400/emmett+in+gear+for+hike.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEgz9PxRN-oDsqkEo56pTpDXPBCdm7ztayRzAgf_6YVfzL9SjsRf22mZhTTrRrMJC7Ygcg98GonXgZkdl2HUaU-nDB1OpBHMwQTcOw5rBnPkRU45hRF2dTI59cdCFZ22Kjro26oS2o56xO/s1600/deep+snow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599208756908700546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEgz9PxRN-oDsqkEo56pTpDXPBCdm7ztayRzAgf_6YVfzL9SjsRf22mZhTTrRrMJC7Ygcg98GonXgZkdl2HUaU-nDB1OpBHMwQTcOw5rBnPkRU45hRF2dTI59cdCFZ22Kjro26oS2o56xO/s400/deep+snow.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQarATJV3NUNik6jUvCL2DvDV6LvgUUXPYclmyOT-b5o0UJZVbwlI-H1arl6C71t9ntrT_yBxE5gZfbL1eXxoqV4m_gQ2_4LkwlseTgJ8-jQ-go5X5qLWY194o1R-hGn2rOkp6tlJ9NnYM/s1600/e+hike.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599208760601537394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQarATJV3NUNik6jUvCL2DvDV6LvgUUXPYclmyOT-b5o0UJZVbwlI-H1arl6C71t9ntrT_yBxE5gZfbL1eXxoqV4m_gQ2_4LkwlseTgJ8-jQ-go5X5qLWY194o1R-hGn2rOkp6tlJ9NnYM/s400/e+hike.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4tl6y5k1eTWqPUg0Ttu8KB9jRbJF1aJD0Gw3NIKdW-FGnSOWKfexmTMVBb3It73GOYQ8YovAcK1bVgQtrQGCBQMOfHsjwyv0EQ461yMd0HuhyEhFiZrgr6Q_K0VqRZaspb1uLnnxQ50o/s1600/hike.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599208768251847426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4tl6y5k1eTWqPUg0Ttu8KB9jRbJF1aJD0Gw3NIKdW-FGnSOWKfexmTMVBb3It73GOYQ8YovAcK1bVgQtrQGCBQMOfHsjwyv0EQ461yMd0HuhyEhFiZrgr6Q_K0VqRZaspb1uLnnxQ50o/s400/hike.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71fhnAJpXj3fqVOt5UshKpGqBQ7SURGzDZ1TvW-S2ZZm9GKi3q4mRrZIkeAHCnZnAHc9QKXHB0hiPLvNJFCAn6fKuSvp7t4stJCKAzNFfX1Wv-oxBjHrpt-edsKQsHdYSwFNt5TiHwTtk/s1600/four+men+and+a+todler.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609981692092540354" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71fhnAJpXj3fqVOt5UshKpGqBQ7SURGzDZ1TvW-S2ZZm9GKi3q4mRrZIkeAHCnZnAHc9QKXHB0hiPLvNJFCAn6fKuSvp7t4stJCKAzNFfX1Wv-oxBjHrpt-edsKQsHdYSwFNt5TiHwTtk/s400/four+men+and+a+todler.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-8163948108688722922011-04-18T10:30:00.014-06:002011-04-25T10:27:10.372-06:00Chico hot springs weekend<div>The Christensen's flew into Billings and we picked them up at the airport (with cold drinks, of course!). With plans to spend the weekend at the hot springs, we stopped off at the grocery store to stock up on breakfast items, lunch stuff and mixers for the "gallons" of alcohol that Luke and I had packed for the weekend. Sarah started off her vacation with a bit of a cold but was such a trooper. We twisted her arm into a tall cold beer at Old C's for lunch. She and I got to catch up and Ryan and Luke got a round of golden tee in before we hit the road. (We attempted to get a photo of the four of us at each location we visited) Our first photo of the trip was at lunch and I set the timer and got back to the table. As we waited for the blinking light to stop, Luke proceeds to spill a beer across the table and hence the fabulous first picture of the trip. Ryan and I are smiling like nothing happened, but Sarah and Luke are a mess! Off to a great start since our sober driver has beer spilled all over his pants.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMgENxlNNkQvQne15CL6agCysGbqB9c_eMngY8WY49ps85WXeLwDtBxxQyHPWW_JFaJmylE-o3ARQ2tu_sd8JH0sO6dcd9WkwdXTtI-1DThJyBB5AbXhAt7I8P8IXDHQrmbYSkIPQbAaA/s1600/spilled+beer.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599201659916118994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 233px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMgENxlNNkQvQne15CL6agCysGbqB9c_eMngY8WY49ps85WXeLwDtBxxQyHPWW_JFaJmylE-o3ARQ2tu_sd8JH0sO6dcd9WkwdXTtI-1DThJyBB5AbXhAt7I8P8IXDHQrmbYSkIPQbAaA/s400/spilled+beer.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlMgENxlNNkQvQne15CL6agCysGbqB9c_eMngY8WY49ps85WXeLwDtBxxQyHPWW_JFaJmylE-o3ARQ2tu_sd8JH0sO6dcd9WkwdXTtI-1DThJyBB5AbXhAt7I8P8IXDHQrmbYSkIPQbAaA/s1600/spilled+beer.JPG"></a></div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Sarah, Ryan and I had a cocktail for the road which was fun until we realized we were going to be stopping every half hour to pee.

Needless to say, it took forever to get to Chico. We finally arrived and got checked in-straight to the pools! We filled our water bottles and off we went. Chico has a very nice restaurant that I has made reservations for dinner that evening. Showers, more cocktails, and two bottles of wine and we are sitting down to dinner. Ryan and I split some Oysters Rockefeller(?), I ordered the halibut special, Sarah had some amazing squash dish and the boys ordered steaks. We wound up back in the room for pj's and drinks while Sarah and I punished the guys in Battle of the Sexes. The next morning, we loaded up the car and headed down to the North gate of Yellowstone to sit in the Boiling River. It is where the Gardner River and a hot springs flow into each other and form hot/cold pools that you can hike/walk to. While the boys fully participated, Sarah, who lost her voice sue to being sick/laughing/drinking in large amounts, and I only waded in to our upper thighs. It was cold and windy and it didn't seem like a good idea to be really cold and wet for the 1/2 mile hike back to the car. Plus the buffalo started to make their way towards the path and it started to freak Sarah and I out. We got out of there, hiked back to the car and turned out the seat heaters!(We had swapped out cars with mom so she could have the car seats!) In the photos, you can spot Ryan's bright orange stocking hat! It was a great experience and can't wait to go back maybe in the fall, when it's not quite so chilly. </div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nt_t2vZPCX2yO6IEgMT4YaoLanpS4vBJF71f2HL3Ga_Zp623CBAXV5N2uYBLKQZWCjSspcQxGsC-xydiPcrQVO8i6HZZAW_1JtHaKvlZHI3cVwsg_zxUzJxzZyH8SgC3M-WgwmAWQRGV/s1600/boiling+river.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599200762853824994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9nt_t2vZPCX2yO6IEgMT4YaoLanpS4vBJF71f2HL3Ga_Zp623CBAXV5N2uYBLKQZWCjSspcQxGsC-xydiPcrQVO8i6HZZAW_1JtHaKvlZHI3cVwsg_zxUzJxzZyH8SgC3M-WgwmAWQRGV/s400/boiling+river.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9B2-zGfYit2l0O83l6EDiL-f5YwmigdT2qNFl81Nx7DoNL2fX5MQe_nss1_jh37zHmSuC1pK8lzTgSST93ziTiPKXEWAKuFFU5-OTekvVnW0Uz1w3oLRQOP2L7U19n-GmqG3SEAbtkkuG/s1600/luke+in+river.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599203241708289986" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9B2-zGfYit2l0O83l6EDiL-f5YwmigdT2qNFl81Nx7DoNL2fX5MQe_nss1_jh37zHmSuC1pK8lzTgSST93ziTiPKXEWAKuFFU5-OTekvVnW0Uz1w3oLRQOP2L7U19n-GmqG3SEAbtkkuG/s400/luke+in+river.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8b7x-auEXuQcw8jGxnJYOyA5BL_5gyEhYaOvqucr6XmXiavlq2v40BZ0drPr3qpyul2o8Ws_9OPvmxPr9SI64-zZqjNBjV2FzCdI9ElELFwI416iNna-DxNv8zwu8c79XbeBHcdiieDvl/s1600/karen+and+sarah.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599203237193091714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8b7x-auEXuQcw8jGxnJYOyA5BL_5gyEhYaOvqucr6XmXiavlq2v40BZ0drPr3qpyul2o8Ws_9OPvmxPr9SI64-zZqjNBjV2FzCdI9ElELFwI416iNna-DxNv8zwu8c79XbeBHcdiieDvl/s400/karen+and+sarah.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9B2-zGfYit2l0O83l6EDiL-f5YwmigdT2qNFl81Nx7DoNL2fX5MQe_nss1_jh37zHmSuC1pK8lzTgSST93ziTiPKXEWAKuFFU5-OTekvVnW0Uz1w3oLRQOP2L7U19n-GmqG3SEAbtkkuG/s1600/luke+in+river.JPG"></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24BDBCGcrig1J0kT5YhO9cz9a1EMeTBy9j4R_p0QF-OPgPmEQc8OJt_fL7et8HhmQHn83KtzG-qkpCm1bzrVIc28bYsizi0nXdb2ClyvVv4UdU5W6CfQU_hU0a2UiEsLJYPaweCQhdsuy/s1600/boys+in+river.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599203226463631106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24BDBCGcrig1J0kT5YhO9cz9a1EMeTBy9j4R_p0QF-OPgPmEQc8OJt_fL7et8HhmQHn83KtzG-qkpCm1bzrVIc28bYsizi0nXdb2ClyvVv4UdU5W6CfQU_hU0a2UiEsLJYPaweCQhdsuy/s400/boys+in+river.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GvTaBvBq7ARGcDP2lQwz0K3XH0EHunY1mRFWWct8c3jTFDX21pSfSeXIg5D_zIKK2VzKK3eb0nMjCo7hIttLJZSaTaFNJY0wDHqIFEZMr8tKTkdAVlGl-tYnBursIjhf8jANQcbmXmID/s1600/buffalo+approaching+river.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599203230329651218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GvTaBvBq7ARGcDP2lQwz0K3XH0EHunY1mRFWWct8c3jTFDX21pSfSeXIg5D_zIKK2VzKK3eb0nMjCo7hIttLJZSaTaFNJY0wDHqIFEZMr8tKTkdAVlGl-tYnBursIjhf8jANQcbmXmID/s400/buffalo+approaching+river.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />To make a day out of our road trip we stopped in Gardner, Montana at Red's Blue Goose Saloon for a beer and for Luke and Ryan to play Deer Hunter a few times.

I had been looking forward to some cheesesticks-probably due to being hungover and walked in and asked the lady behind the bar if they had any. She stated the did not but boy they sure are good. And then went on to comment of my "cute, little profile! When was I due?" REALLY?! For one, I had also just ordered a Bud Light. Two, I was so proud of myself for getting down to my (first of many) goal weight for the hot springs trip. and Three- she was probably 280 lbs herself and had no room to be pointing out my bloated belly! I thought Ryan was going to spew beer when he heard the ladies comment. By this time, Sarah is writing on napkins cause of her missing voice(see picture!). Ryan of course had made friends with Bert on the front porch of the restaurant by the time we left and Bert had decided to come and visit Luke and I in Cody some time....I won't hold my breath. I don't think Bert goes far these days.</div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9ppjmGU0dax_Itmd1YQa91K-O7XQrcoqXjeM0EZ6AxQLOpudXnDIEMo-mhSwkxkaBTPKp_LdEpJnax5zrYm4AdHVQ7nqZVdRI5MU9mv1DjbxEGov1oOfSN91t4PS445kYeeMV3bsMzlk/s1600/old+saloon.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599200770703316402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9ppjmGU0dax_Itmd1YQa91K-O7XQrcoqXjeM0EZ6AxQLOpudXnDIEMo-mhSwkxkaBTPKp_LdEpJnax5zrYm4AdHVQ7nqZVdRI5MU9mv1DjbxEGov1oOfSN91t4PS445kYeeMV3bsMzlk/s400/old+saloon.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCXV6TCdOvenShjhVcefgwl1SD8He1I9VFtC6YGUm68bAOp_tl7SQ6rsFg0kY5-c_wYTWT1SLvKSuiTYCqUQpElcLk6reoBrA3ypcCp_9rxujJ_zNr4RGNlr99VDRiJyyS-oTRckhsxV7M/s1600/bert.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599200752691775826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCXV6TCdOvenShjhVcefgwl1SD8He1I9VFtC6YGUm68bAOp_tl7SQ6rsFg0kY5-c_wYTWT1SLvKSuiTYCqUQpElcLk6reoBrA3ypcCp_9rxujJ_zNr4RGNlr99VDRiJyyS-oTRckhsxV7M/s400/bert.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLAxw-pizLHbiXQDn-9tszcO6jJXk1UDr2q3MZLFP2ia1Bj2sVqRzlsuAQL4YFkBF-yN6pfax7hxj74E1rA96cH-r7N4GHJB7C4zNg6LyVqfzxsLpo_HJqlvHsIyrpObS_fMVlK18GbXHY/s1600/prego+note.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599203248005329090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLAxw-pizLHbiXQDn-9tszcO6jJXk1UDr2q3MZLFP2ia1Bj2sVqRzlsuAQL4YFkBF-yN6pfax7hxj74E1rA96cH-r7N4GHJB7C4zNg6LyVqfzxsLpo_HJqlvHsIyrpObS_fMVlK18GbXHY/s400/prego+note.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We got back and jumped in the pools at the hot springs. It wound up being a bit much for Sarah and I so we headed back to the room for a quick siesta. Luke and Ryan said as to not wake up us girls, they went to the saloon til about dinner time. Hours later, Sarah and I are ready for dinner and wondering where the boys are. More than a few sheets to the wind, they were in the bar, very unaware of the time. We walked over for dinner at the small restaurant next to the pool for pizza and such. While the boys were up to no good, we ladies should not be left to our own devices! We decided there was no harm in seeing if there were any last minute appointments at the day spa at the top of the hill. As a matter of fact there were two spots open at 8am for the Chico Massage-citrus foot scrub and a hot rock massage for a little over an hour! Yippee! One last jump in the pool and we headed back to Billings for a fun lunch at the Montana Brewing Company and off to the airport. It was a fun filled weekend and can't wait to see them again in a few months.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcMLIbeie6GVMY3Dg84EfVyPKRFBduX1o180I1tpdALwnXOY3PsDmZQeN912GAIUvYYwRUf2ewwsNVuJonK8F7JSirKJvyiIG64A1aS_xgWO9sTANEQoaPrgqPF1iRrwvZSKwJpMmmX3a_/s1600/the+pool.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599203505632648450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcMLIbeie6GVMY3Dg84EfVyPKRFBduX1o180I1tpdALwnXOY3PsDmZQeN912GAIUvYYwRUf2ewwsNVuJonK8F7JSirKJvyiIG64A1aS_xgWO9sTANEQoaPrgqPF1iRrwvZSKwJpMmmX3a_/s400/the+pool.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-38530489102840543192011-04-11T20:23:00.002-06:002011-04-11T20:25:13.961-06:00Kodak momentA father and son sharing cookies and milk.

He loves it. Emmett had his glove sitting by the garage door about an hour before we had to leave he was so excited! Then he of course forgot his glove. I asked him a little bit late if he remembered it- aka we were at the park. Anyway, he got to hit the ball off the tee, field a few balls, run the bases and a bit of tossing the ball around. Emmett may be the youngest on the team...he certainly is the smallest. It really should make for a fun summer watching our "baby" boy play ball.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAopNCY3UgDemTimqZV46ubyEu8ZnVgTRQbgfzxe0-cYR2Z1T5G-sithLvo0nF5SArOkhjee3PKkj5HFe8McKIGlst-AaUGCIAHwov1GUa0qNMHzC48oQhmZ0DbEmBiGDNq4YwoiqeWH-e/s1600/e+team.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594510634718514178" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAopNCY3UgDemTimqZV46ubyEu8ZnVgTRQbgfzxe0-cYR2Z1T5G-sithLvo0nF5SArOkhjee3PKkj5HFe8McKIGlst-AaUGCIAHwov1GUa0qNMHzC48oQhmZ0DbEmBiGDNq4YwoiqeWH-e/s400/e+team.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr_QdaxrPvvku3_j5sKcqW4Cz_VVNmPiTG5M0s21zO-Pa0AfQZlGtLCZolf6gewpqGUsEDKBQRgst1LoAqHr8Ud9cwftCK58Ro34Gfl0ZOFJLVCzf93apX7nUQn61vkiqz0xQX923qy5sN/s1600/running+the+bases.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594510657105074946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr_QdaxrPvvku3_j5sKcqW4Cz_VVNmPiTG5M0s21zO-Pa0AfQZlGtLCZolf6gewpqGUsEDKBQRgst1LoAqHr8Ud9cwftCK58Ro34Gfl0ZOFJLVCzf93apX7nUQn61vkiqz0xQX923qy5sN/s400/running+the+bases.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwr5Ncho7DEWqHwUFjynzLLC9mA23cmIloaw6OcFRyjSdWqW4pGLP8kST2QFiE-xxNLBYOnAochkFeAxIDYorRLmU9lUr0qUbejIiVhSm4wplDpvDyhZUA2fBlSHcC_l9zKGMQ_h59_BU0/s1600/grounders.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594510649842399602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwr5Ncho7DEWqHwUFjynzLLC9mA23cmIloaw6OcFRyjSdWqW4pGLP8kST2QFiE-xxNLBYOnAochkFeAxIDYorRLmU9lUr0qUbejIiVhSm4wplDpvDyhZUA2fBlSHcC_l9zKGMQ_h59_BU0/s400/grounders.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoLNis4NFXyr-hnJcUGSHoSGZSSGdFDAyO0ShaUvKrPAEkJKCNonrDyLqhKT6wP798Fdqx4dk7v19WCf7Yx5IosWQ4HZiS7fkuwdaeUz4V_-ffx-msJl9vymw4Ll464M_oob0sP8gktiW/s1600/good+fielding.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594510641567007698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoLNis4NFXyr-hnJcUGSHoSGZSSGdFDAyO0ShaUvKrPAEkJKCNonrDyLqhKT6wP798Fdqx4dk7v19WCf7Yx5IosWQ4HZiS7fkuwdaeUz4V_-ffx-msJl9vymw4Ll464M_oob0sP8gktiW/s400/good+fielding.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSL7zQAsvZkYyim7RJy5D04p4QPmk6a6CaIhtJKwIYabbBZB5tO8vZPvboNknwuUaFFJBQsGd79dyazJD9lC0C3GvZVuFvHN_UQJKifzkL-Zoq_aNyHtP5ngqDpMiPQ3Uw0-KYcULr2wI8/s1600/nice+throw.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594510655332992882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSL7zQAsvZkYyim7RJy5D04p4QPmk6a6CaIhtJKwIYabbBZB5tO8vZPvboNknwuUaFFJBQsGd79dyazJD9lC0C3GvZVuFvHN_UQJKifzkL-Zoq_aNyHtP5ngqDpMiPQ3Uw0-KYcULr2wI8/s400/nice+throw.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEYsUDM2kKUgeQhy9pkcxSRUyCrpLO5XAxYvxcSPtzDFUmk_hGt3TFgMKl9Rb475cNKfklZr6XGvScFJlPcD4zMPSbWXN7xrMvJRzl4pRYcjQrkTfhh4rnVG8nbBGm83EdvATLAETKlJXg/s1600/jolene+at+practice.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594511050419521074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEYsUDM2kKUgeQhy9pkcxSRUyCrpLO5XAxYvxcSPtzDFUmk_hGt3TFgMKl9Rb475cNKfklZr6XGvScFJlPcD4zMPSbWXN7xrMvJRzl4pRYcjQrkTfhh4rnVG8nbBGm83EdvATLAETKlJXg/s400/jolene+at+practice.JPG" border="0" /></a>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-78607242337851904732011-04-04T16:12:00.009-06:002011-04-05T14:38:30.266-06:00just got back<div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>So I just got back from a visit to see my sister and drive back with mom from her trip. Chrissy and Mom picked me up from the airport on Thursday and we met up with a few friends for dinner. It was a great happy hour/dinner with everyone. A few people had to skip out and that was a bummer, but I had a great time catching up Sam, Jane, the Christensen's, Nina and Troy, and Julie with her kiddos. It was bittersweet seeing Julie because I knew I had to say goodbye for awhile. Carl and Julie moved to New Hampshire over the weekend. I am not sure when I will get out to visit, but hopefully sometime this year. I couldn't believe the kids! Sydney looks like Julie with Carl's skintone- and a stringbean! Jack was a mini-Carl- with awesome curly locks.(I thought we had gotten pictures but it seems not! I appear toasted in every picture, but I swear I only had 3 beers!) We drove back to Ft. Collins and got to check out Chrissy's new place. Perfect spot and a large space for her and roommate Jen. Chrissy took me on her 3.5 mile run on Friday after work. I would call what I did more like jog-catch breath-jog...etc. Not sure Chrissy even broke a sweat. I was worked. But it showed me the true difference between running on a treadmill and running outside. The porch was a super great spot to enjoy some wine on Friday night with friend Lori and her son, Ben. All the while, Mom and I got to have some fun shopping at Whole Foods and such on Friday and Saturday. I got to have lunch with Ken on Saturday as well. He looks really good and we had a really nice lunch. Afterward, Mom, Chrissy and I went to Dancing Pines Distillery. OH GOODNESS! They make an espresso liqueur that is so delicious and they have an upcoming release of Creme Brulee liquor that we got to sample. YUM. Mom got an espresso martini, I got a carmel apple martini and Chrissy got a bourbon something that was so strong she couldn't finish it(mostly cause she was driving!). Then, Chrissy and I went out for sushi on Saturday night with drink at a jazz club after. It was a great way to spend the weekend. Maybe a bit less wine after we got home on Saturday, since we had an 8 hour drive back to Cody the next morning- in the snow. Good times.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVZ9_m7req4WknPdBvbaejMHxUCpxKHPS4NiL8IiBOe3rnygM3XlxX9ASN4u9DvozVrWr1q5zlCSJc5T-5qFPCECk9QC-Abpoh0poa_hq_9ZePQ5v_ku9roET4GU0EHcNtonlBYnouyk36/s1600/Karen%252C+Lily+and+Anna.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592198959101018450" style="FLOAT: left;

It was a bit cold out there but nothing a cold beer didn't fix! Luke and I had seen a show about sandwiches and one of the restaurants, Primanti Bros., was in Pittsburgh. He went, he tried, and I think he's in love! Yes, those are french fries ON his sandwich. Now he is back to reality and perfect timing, as the kids have decided to be sick....Lucky guy! I have been up to my elbows in dirty diapers and soiled sheets and this is what he comes home to. I do have to say that I am so very excited to leave on Thursday for Denver!

We spent the greater part of the morning putting together the Bat Cave made of blocks. Later, that afternoon, was Emmett's pizza party. Pizza was good, cake was good, friends were present and of course presents were opened. Pretty uneventful really. Luke had the bounce castle up for about an hour before pizza was ready. What a blast! Then the request for pizza started rumbling from downstairs. The troops were getting hungry. We tried to hold them off with apple slices but that wasn't cutting it. I couldn't get pizza out of the oven fast enough. I made four large pizzas, but didn't time them very well. The adults were eating pizza as the kids were digging into cake. and I forgot to serve the ice cream! It was fun and a great group of kids. </div><div>This morning Emmett asked when he was going to turn five.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTO9_UzDiyBcQpXRC3DMtJu0_t7Chn8-VVgir9m59SOxYWjQOJZIFxGko0EGP5AytCiTh-t3CFW63yJUjGf0S4sJ9tPl4fLXmwcrJEKI6hIEQsU5YUcQuZ_P9Ob93R8xWuNRSRsi3P94q/s1600/batman+blocks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586604082342647714" style="FLOAT: left;

It was the UPS woman! It doesn't matter that it is a few days before his birthday, Emmett always asks if the package has his name on it. This time it actually did! Presents from Grandma and Grandpa. Of course- we used them to "eat a good dinner" and "open after a good bathtime". Then we called Grandpa to see if we were to open the wrapped presents that were in the said box. The answer was yes. He began tearing into packages and Joey was non-stop chiming in with "Happy Birfday!" Emmett opened a foam rocket that launches when you stomp on the launch ball/pad thing, a adventure land set(that is full of small pieces ;) ) , another rocket that needs to wait for a nice day outside and a flashlight in the shape of Rex from Toy Story. It roars when you pull the trigger and his mouth opens to shine the light. Jolene HATES it! She screamed and hid under the dinner table until it was put away. I think the greatest saying of all time came from our little almost 4 year old boy when he shot his first rocket. "Totally Awesome! That's how I say "Cool" in Spanish!" Our bilingual smarty pants! <div><div><div><div><div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzFQ7byc0f5oPSGV1SSKwUjli2crUgGzGRB_W7mJOSdX_Fot6v5Xe_nKIgdORWELorl_CFYBXWij3uHofSAotkQerSW7IjdCNJorIAEGV0wZd7geEv3Liqz3oSEM9s55xOdyILCjdY3b4O/s1600/presents.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584860888389674130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzFQ7byc0f5oPSGV1SSKwUjli2crUgGzGRB_W7mJOSdX_Fot6v5Xe_nKIgdORWELorl_CFYBXWij3uHofSAotkQerSW7IjdCNJorIAEGV0wZd7geEv3Liqz3oSEM9s55xOdyILCjdY3b4O/s400/presents.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6_KaFv4wjTvYd47gCcUGV2Q0kQqLzYS8IQ117eKfy5Xw6fhs40BvBWRq-USQa1id7t43LysnlEuxv5TMXW_SLcS3-U8GKbzYiXTo1YYRJDdCCH08Js2Vx0R-0vdrjonyYOdCssIf2McR/s1600/stomp+rocket.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584861087979645858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6_KaFv4wjTvYd47gCcUGV2Q0kQqLzYS8IQ117eKfy5Xw6fhs40BvBWRq-USQa1id7t43LysnlEuxv5TMXW_SLcS3-U8GKbzYiXTo1YYRJDdCCH08Js2Vx0R-0vdrjonyYOdCssIf2McR/s400/stomp+rocket.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKGpr084a8OjvG6yhyhj-t8KxhG6Rx31rU4QhkVF416JPgP1pMSpvGBdrVqV0lOZFHhbPS6PYJXBx6_INY4l3j8iIWTPRTyuT86NcCB8XiZYn1acABRpirKNjdny03SGAd_tzqfBcnU22B/s1600/adventure+land.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584860869907315346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKGpr084a8OjvG6yhyhj-t8KxhG6Rx31rU4QhkVF416JPgP1pMSpvGBdrVqV0lOZFHhbPS6PYJXBx6_INY4l3j8iIWTPRTyuT86NcCB8XiZYn1acABRpirKNjdny03SGAd_tzqfBcnU22B/s400/adventure+land.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbtxsapLPCC0Jqi_AK7Ylj0NPVah9wy1XGBKDVuOKjt5hmCDBU5xL66L-ojCYoFeVaBsXv821jBMHKINzseOBjkbcmiUO__ouX_um9nWY99Bq6QA97DcxrdVYNKqzi_-eViU6yUXhWJMDt/s1600/rex+flashlight.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584860891332045378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbtxsapLPCC0Jqi_AK7Ylj0NPVah9wy1XGBKDVuOKjt5hmCDBU5xL66L-ojCYoFeVaBsXv821jBMHKINzseOBjkbcmiUO__ouX_um9nWY99Bq6QA97DcxrdVYNKqzi_-eViU6yUXhWJMDt/s400/rex+flashlight.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIaFhyDssGEi2a16Kl8SgwWk4lhEG58sXRdYwiBkxU9F01Ayh_hwHcEdv0pkM3lfXdGTlC2OPH6h0FpNHEvRthmpKiSqLOrwDDb73bJbdwkySKDHWE1nhFK-YtQwBvRIatfBUiMrk55Mc/s1600/phone+with+gma.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584860874322985154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIaFhyDssGEi2a16Kl8SgwWk4lhEG58sXRdYwiBkxU9F01Ayh_hwHcEdv0pkM3lfXdGTlC2OPH6h0FpNHEvRthmpKiSqLOrwDDb73bJbdwkySKDHWE1nhFK-YtQwBvRIatfBUiMrk55Mc/s400/phone+with+gma.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgay4hIi1i7F8QK0LgkIyfbw03R7WLqWS7J-kE-1hMK6ObltKGEseuElfIslxwfBenhXE8vo9fBh8BVeKJ1UUm1pDONRBAOkMpJZLJxpSRgWaSFy6Ax8ZHOc5Ud3z2-mTmfIEe4lop6UO6U/s1600/small+pieces.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584860897184717554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgay4hIi1i7F8QK0LgkIyfbw03R7WLqWS7J-kE-1hMK6ObltKGEseuElfIslxwfBenhXE8vo9fBh8BVeKJ1UUm1pDONRBAOkMpJZLJxpSRgWaSFy6Ax8ZHOc5Ud3z2-mTmfIEe4lop6UO6U/s400/small+pieces.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-90487626729991513522011-03-16T15:43:00.011-06:002011-03-16T16:07:04.870-06:00Rainy day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-n5sfPmO1iEjRag4Z7emdrkmkGfowW5OkIA4o_O13oqcvBwXsYAydD5OkHl_rV8Q6Y98RNpdnqUwZQrChsiSnf54WpntL6-0pSdJvvO1PYWc3ND9ziqUevVQHq1E9AUwCK8YCayI9Hlk/s1600/rainbow+and+raincoats.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584800285046165058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-n5sfPmO1iEjRag4Z7emdrkmkGfowW5OkIA4o_O13oqcvBwXsYAydD5OkHl_rV8Q6Y98RNpdnqUwZQrChsiSnf54WpntL6-0pSdJvvO1PYWc3ND9ziqUevVQHq1E9AUwCK8YCayI9Hlk/s400/rainbow+and+raincoats.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Today started out as a rainy day but with lots of rainbows. So I naturally put them in their long awaited raincoats that have been stashed in the back of their closets and took pictures! The kids loved screaming at the rainbows...like they were gonna go somewhere. "MOM! LOOK AT THE RAINBOWS!!" It sure made for a long ride to MOPS this morning. Things have been busy as usual. We are gearing up for Emmett's big birthday bash on Sunday. I got the OK to buy a bounce house for "family use". We had to make sure Emmett knew it was not HIS and he had to share with his sister. Jolene won't even go near the monstrosity, so I don't think he has anything to worry about. She sat on the stairs the entire time, basically screaming over the blower. Good times.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7Om-56mfgwGTxMib315hiYt3Fok6xl1fvlXZksub9FuMAt9ajyrF_EgsuhCUguRPe4VCM8IbJ5Bly59WxnBERbSevPWs_keqYye7fCEL9ohPmk-Ub04o5xwDoBaBPZEKIANWyASNqA1p/s1600/bounce+castle.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584798227025483186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7Om-56mfgwGTxMib315hiYt3Fok6xl1fvlXZksub9FuMAt9ajyrF_EgsuhCUguRPe4VCM8IbJ5Bly59WxnBERbSevPWs_keqYye7fCEL9ohPmk-Ub04o5xwDoBaBPZEKIANWyASNqA1p/s400/bounce+castle.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvNFbTGCtERtXJUY5sBAogZ1_zOnLFaNTr-FbUcNpoBWmAdtGQx8exKw_cuGeotOY4shuC_oJ0QF93natbB22AWPEoba9tZEE22h99LyxvuAG4AzFc4vHXBiKsG7y2zgIr1xxXANG9_vJ/s1600/joey+on+stairs.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584798237853592818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 301px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvNFbTGCtERtXJUY5sBAogZ1_zOnLFaNTr-FbUcNpoBWmAdtGQx8exKw_cuGeotOY4shuC_oJ0QF93natbB22AWPEoba9tZEE22h99LyxvuAG4AzFc4vHXBiKsG7y2zgIr1xxXANG9_vJ/s400/joey+on+stairs.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I recently hosted a Philly Cooking Creme party from HouseParty.com. If you are not checking out this website, you are crazy. The send free fixin's to get the party started and they are normally pretty good. Besides coupons and cooking pamphlets, they sent me a Green Pan(skillet), tons of wooden spoons to hand out and lots of notepads. We had a great time. I turned it into a lunchtime playdate where about 10 of my girlfriends, whom all brought their children, ate and chatted while the kids ran the house. It turned out to be about 20+ kids! Again, good times! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglbPq8_lWlrAz4R4dI0CEDVQjjsyBU3CPdsL6-8dLeU5PJT_aehcTTjZVjQpuYf2AIJWXJr3DSj6BmfFL5w-XB4qJatSx4ZIAbi1F0ZI8QOhRq7tWE7EHt3HAuSLjl62No_FbiieR5p6hh/s1600/creme+party+girls.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584798250554188562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglbPq8_lWlrAz4R4dI0CEDVQjjsyBU3CPdsL6-8dLeU5PJT_aehcTTjZVjQpuYf2AIJWXJr3DSj6BmfFL5w-XB4qJatSx4ZIAbi1F0ZI8QOhRq7tWE7EHt3HAuSLjl62No_FbiieR5p6hh/s400/creme+party+girls.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpozakMrJPDQQlbi5IxXdciOXFueTZo5nyb3VFKWnqxSUgfaXbx-SaZEmT3XB0ZzYdaYYiiLB0r5NFRsw-sYG3bqwHrymsZMYwhVMIoChqW71l4wpPwi5Xx3I4dYyhVQSvq61mH9YkB1XN/s1600/philly+creme+party.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584798265488950530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpozakMrJPDQQlbi5IxXdciOXFueTZo5nyb3VFKWnqxSUgfaXbx-SaZEmT3XB0ZzYdaYYiiLB0r5NFRsw-sYG3bqwHrymsZMYwhVMIoChqW71l4wpPwi5Xx3I4dYyhVQSvq61mH9YkB1XN/s400/philly+creme+party.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>And then there was the 28 lb box of green beans!

I would run her back to the chair and nothing. After awhile, I'm irritated and still in the middle of flipping pancakes for breakfast. Jo tells me AGAIN that she's got to go. I take her, but this time I left her there for just a moment so I could flip the batch of pancakes. The next thing I know she's standing next to me, naked, with poop on her feet. UGH. So I pick her up and run her to the bathroom where she's gone potty, half in the seat and half on the floor. From what I can deduct from the incident, Jo pooped and stood up before she was done. The "half" on the floor had fallen from her behind and she then proceeded to step in it and walk to the kitchen. Needless to say, the "YUCK" "Ew, gross" and "Don't move, Jolene!" got Luke out of bed. He gave Jo a quick bath and I steam cleaned the carpets. What a morning. At least the pancakes with fresh mangos were good.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXlIJdpPJKGX90cdiR6vB8_ZssDJkrqflUGuHqcONcpYVAi_l-m1jgRBHeFgvYB9KNb5xEa6rQy8aaGwGj1wMZha8LpDbsAuiFOOniwGSnI8JgLNSdmaZDlhbsxVKLlMhqrqOicYjEpqaF/s1600/jolene+first+on+potty+%25283%2529.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_eWmCfHbdB2NROCEakSc0u2LUbVk1M998-sj5CCB44YlimVad20-u94ckESCi-dZkQEF2vQj5nsd76jKSFtEroj2vWfvMyFxps8WQXMXFelzxxQ22eDcD8z63T-OcPaYLeCJRNLIM-kvA/s1600/jolene+first+on+potty.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578849521367519042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_eWmCfHbdB2NROCEakSc0u2LUbVk1M998-sj5CCB44YlimVad20-u94ckESCi-dZkQEF2vQj5nsd76jKSFtEroj2vWfvMyFxps8WQXMXFelzxxQ22eDcD8z63T-OcPaYLeCJRNLIM-kvA/s400/jolene+first+on+potty.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Karen, Luke, Emmett and Jolene Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206484177413590811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019797991455067004.post-59663560723575547882011-02-28T13:24:00.007-07:002011-03-01T13:03:07.551-07:00Emmett's first time skiingHere is the visual diary of Emmett's first ski adventure.
