Getting ready for the reunion!!

Hey all. Sorry it has taken so long, we had some camera issues. We are getting excited for our big reunion at Bear Lake. In fact, we were surprisingly made the vice presidents at the last minute, and thank goodness that my wife is the way she is, because she whipped everything together lickety split. I am sure it will be stressful having that resposibility, plus taking our 2 month old on her first camping trip, but we will manage. Here are some new pictures of Zoey, chunking out and growing like a weed. At her 2 month visit she weighed 12lbs and was 24 inches long, so very impressive, we included a picture of her legs post shots as well. We love that little girl and they say and I tend to agree that she is looking more and more like her dad (probably only cause she is getting chunkier). I just finished football camp so it was a long week for Dacia with me getting home at 10:30 every night, but the guys looked great. We got 43 boys out, well more than they anticipated I could, and they worked their tales off and are beginning to buy into my system. How we will do remains to be seen, but we will work every down and leave it all on the field. Well, till next time, we will have some pics from the reunion, and for those that are going, we can't wait. Cya.

2 years, and Dacia still doesn't have regrets..... I think!?!

Hey All!! Dacia and I are actually in Boise right now on our anniversary, you don't really realize the responsibilities of a new baby until you take them on a trip. Speaking of a trip, the last two years for Dacia and I have been unforgetable, and we love eachother so much. As I have said many times before it is trully a blessing to be married to your best friend. Now here are some updated pictures of our little monkey including one with momma (they are both so beautiful and have a special bond already). She still has those big beautiful blue eyes and a little grin that makes dadda do whatever she wants, already! We hope all of you have a happy 4th and will talk to ya soon.

She is adorable.....and yes she does run the household!!

Hi all, I was so glad that many of you were able to make it to the blessing, we are very greatful for all of our family and friends and all they do for us. These are the updated pictures of Zoey, some with mom and dad, some displaying here cuteness, one with her cousin Olivia, my sister Lisa's third baby who was born exactly one week after Zoey. There is also a video of us trying to wake her up. This ritual takes about 20 minutes and it's like waking up a teenager. The way she grunts and groans about things she doesn't like has earned her the nick name "Growler Monkey" and she growls a lot. She is a really good baby, sleeping through the night really well with mom having to wake her up to feed. We love this little angel, and count our blessings each day. We will continue to update. Talk to ya soon!

Our little Peanut is here!!!

This is our perfect baby, Zoey Ann Andersen. She was born on Wedneday May 20th at about 2:00 in the afternoon. She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and was about 20 inches long. Every second she has been here Dacia and I have counted our blessing to have such an angel in our lives. I know I am biased but she has got to be the most beautiful little girl in the world. We can't tell yet who she looks like most but her body is tiny and she has long fingers and toes like her momma. I will post many more pictures to come, and videos when good ones are gotten. Right now here is your introduction. The next entry will sho pictures of the birth. We love our little peanut so much and thank all that have done so much for her first few days. Talk to ya soon.

OH NO!! ITS "The Belly"!!!!! (and the things inside)

This is Peanut from the outside....quite the change if you look at pictures from the archives!

These ones above are of her appendages. The first is an absolutley cute picture of her hand, to see it on the actuall ultrasound it is massive like her dads, but her arms and legs are long like her moms. She is definately built to be a volleyballer like her momma.

These are all pictures of her head. The first one is regular ultrasound, her face is just above middle and her arm is above her head. The Second two are side profiles in 3-d They are tough to see but her face is on the left and her leg is in front of her face.

Well these are the updated pictures. Mom and Baby are doing really well. It looks like right now that she will be a small baby, if she holds current growth rate about 6 and 1/2 lbs. which is good if you know how small her momma is. Her nursery will be done this week, and we will post new pictures of it this weekend. Talk to ya then!!

We are no longer in control!!!

Sorry all! It has been quite some time since our last post, but we have been extremely busy with work and student teaching. These pictures of Peanut are new to the blog, but are actually 3 weeks old. She is growing like crazy, weighing in over 2 pounds and is about 15 inches long. She moves and kicks like crazy and absolutely demanded that we put pictures of her room and furniture on the blog. Thats right she isn't even born and is running the roost. Dacia and I are doing really well. We spent presidents day and valentines in Boise, and enjoyed having nothing to do. We even hit the outlets and picked up Peanut some new clothes (but don't worry she isn't spoiled). The fish are growin, and Gus never fails to do his chores every day (which are eating, crapping, sitting on the leather couch looking out the window, and hauling milk rings to our bed) He always does his due diligence and isn't at all worthless. Well till next time, Peace out!

THE NEW ADDITION HAS ARRIVED........JUST EARLIER THAN WE THOUGHT!!!

Hey All,

Well big news!!! The addition our family has waited on for months is finally here! We purchased a 55 gallon fish tank! We filled it with rocks and 4 african cichlids. I have had this type of fish before, and Dacia and I both love them. The big blue one is named Silva, after Anderson Silva the UFC fighter, cause he beats up and has already killed our plecostamus named Oscar the Grouch. The one that looks like a giraffe is named Yogi after the great Jellystone bear. And the other two are a male and female that won't leave eachothers side, so we promptly named them Romeo and Juliet. As you can see Gus (our cat) is enthralled with the fish and loves to lean on the stand and try and paw them through the glass. On baby news we had an appointment and Peanut is growing up fast. All is well and Dacia has another ultrasound on the 3rd, so we should have new pictures soon. I have started student teaching at Twin Falls High School. It is fun, but a lot of work! Dacia presses on in the most frustrating job in education, special ed. It's not fun most days but has it's rewards. (when we find out what they are, we will tell you). Thats all for now, all is well. Cya Soon!
