New England Aquarium

I love the NE Aquarium because of the Penguins!!  I have only been once before {prior to living in MA} during one of my visits with Kris to see his Mom.  So with the weather being wonderful, Kris and I and his Mom decided we should take Nick!  Plus, we {Nick and I} are leaving for CA in a few days and we wanted to do something FUN with Daddy before we go! :)

Waiting for Dad and Nana to get the tickets

He LOVED this stingray outside ...still waiting for tickets (it was PACKED!)

Boston Harbor is behind Nick ...see that boat Codzilla ..oh yes, we will be tackling that SOON!

{ Codzilla is Boston's first and only high-speed thrill boat ride!}

Looking at some fishes

Loved them

LOVE my lil family!

haha LOVE drooly smiles :)

Daddy Nick and Nana

Nana and her bug at the top of the tank

WOW ...was his word as he saw the BIG turtle

PENGUINS!

Nick saying HI to the Penguins

Nick and Daddy at the touch tank ....didn't last long as he tried grabbing EVERYTHING  lol

I can't WAIT to take him to the Long Beach Aquarium in CA!  Although NE has the BEST Penguin exhibit, its really dark inside {as it can't be an outside aquarium due to snow in winter months} and Nick was not as interested in the exhibits that were not bright colored.  Plus, it was sooo crowded and they didn't have the sharks and stingrays out in the big tank (I forget why ...some bacteria I think) so the only sharks were in the touch tank :(  So I definitely think he will enjoy the LB one more!

But nonetheless, we had a GREAT day and enjoyed lunch at Legal Seafood's on the Harbor afterwards :)

Family Pics

My friend Heather from Cirasphotography {she did Nick's 1yr photos!} did a mini family photo shoot at Marshfield Beach for us a few weeks back!  What a FUN day we all had :)

Here are just a few (of many!)

Mama and her BOY

Our Little Family <3

LOVE this boys laugh!

LOVE my man!!

My FAVORITE!!!
{I love how she blurred out Kris and I so Nick is the focus :)}

 I realized the last time we had a family photo shoot done, Nick was 6 months old!!  I'm such a slacker ...he is now 15 months!! haha  

THANK YOU HEATHER!!

XOXO

Borderland Park

For those who have seen Shutter Island with Leonardo DiCaprio, this place might look familiar ...its where they filmed part of it! {the house where he lived with his wife and the pond where the children died}  Its acutally a HUGE park and a great place to walk/hike!  It is right up the street from where we live now, so we decided to take Nick!  There is also a huge old mansion you can tour, but it was closed for renovations when we got there, so we will go back again!  Its also a great park for birthday parties, however Nick was born in Winter months, so maybe the next kid?

The Old Mansion

Nick following Daddy in the woods ...but HAD to stop for a stick :)

I just LOVE...

this tired little face in the morning!!  Best start to EVERYDAY!

I swear he hears me wake up in the morning because as soon as I get out of the shower this boy is up in his crib waiting for me lol  He loves just hanging out while I do my makeup and hair.  And I love EVERY second of EVERY day that I get to spend with my little man <3

I have lots and lots of things to blog about but it is becoming so time consuming and there just aren't enough hours in the day :/  Soon...I hope!

The Girls have ARRIVED!!

My brother Gerry and his wife Nikki welcomed TWO adorable little twin girls :)

Alice Nichole and Colette Parker Anderson

born May 15, 2012 

at 7:00pm and 7:01pm

Alice was 6.6lbs 19in and Colette was 6lbs 19in

Both girls and Mommy are doing GREAT and home from the hospital!!  They are adjusting well to life as a family of FOUR :)

I can't WAIT to get to CA and hold my little nieces next week!!

Mama's Day

My day started off with a WONDERFUL breakfast homemade by my boys!!  Then after we ate I opened my cards (and I just LOVE that Nick signs them!) and opened my gifts!  I was VERY spoiled this year!!!  

 My hubby always gets me a Precious Moments and does the best job picking them out!

I always say Nick is my world, so Kris saw this and HAD to get it for me ...LUCKY ME!
{obviously that is not Nick in the frame yet}

Then I opened a necklace from Nick

It is a turtle shape that came with an oyster and then when you get the pearl out, it goes inside the turtle!
Cutest thing EVER!  

and also got another Alex and Ani bracelet {oyster shell with a pearl inside ...like how my necklace came!}, a Kindle Fire {perfect for Nick to use on plane rides too}, a girls day out, and a ton of other things!  (Not to mention my anniversary was just a couple days ago too!!)

I am sooo LUCKY my boys love me so much and LOVE to spoil me :)

But most of all ....I am sooooo blessed to be his Mama!!

XO

We then spent the afternoon enjoying the summer day bbqing, swimming and hanging out with Kris' mom and grandma :)

Happy Mother's Day!

 I sure am one LUCKY Mama being spoiled by my little man today :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day! 

Capron Zoo

We wanted to do something fun with Nick (as we try to do every weekend anyways lol) and since Mother's Day was going to be spent with family, we decided to take him the day before Mother's Day to another Zoo!  So I guess it was my Mother's DAY to spend with just my little family <3

My little family!

Me and my boy!

well HELLO!

LOVE these two!

Daddy and Nick looking at the lions (who were hiding in the back corner)

He's growing up so fast!!

Riding in the jeep with his jungle friends:)

Capron Zoo was just a little zoo (and I only posted a few pics too) but we had a GREAT family day!  Weekends are always my FAVORITE because we get to take little man to all these places :)

3 years ago today I married my best friend!!  So much has changed in these 3 years ....we've moved twice, welcomed our first baby boy and have had a blast doing EVERYTHING together! :)

<3 MY HUBBY

One of the BEST days of our lives!!
{celebrated with our closest friends and family}

3 years later and we are still going STRONG!  He is so sweet and good to me ...sent roses to work (the day before as I didn't work on our anniversary) and took me to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner!  He definitely treats me like a princess :)

Just a few from my gorgeous bouquet!

I can't find where I put the pics from dinner ...but this was taken just a few days before!

Me and Hubbs 3 years later!

And I can't WAIT to spend many many more with this man!!

Walking away into eternity with my man!

I LOVE YOU KRIS!!
