Montana trip and my Birthday

well we're getting ready for a lot in march. Kurtis is starting a new job on the 9th. I turn a quarter of a century old on the 5th we're speding the first week of march in Montana. so i figrued now was a good time to do an update.

Kyler. you actually see more of kyler than the rest of us but i figure that is normal for parents. He is growing like a weed. I just bought him a new car seat we are hoping to install in the car before we go to montana. He has 6 teeth. two on the bottom and 4 on top. they seemed to all come at once. He is now saying daddy, started giving you 5 and is clapping. Just last night we got him to lift his hands into the air and yell kinda like ye was saying yay. He is attempting to walk. He takes about 2 steps and then sits down. He has a cold right now and isn't feeling to well. But he is doing good. I think he will have fun in montana.

Kurtis. Kurtis is actually getting ready for his job change. He is a little nervous as he has only worked for joel and one other person. His last day is tomorrow and i don't think its really hit him yet. But he seems to be doing well. He just got word that he might be playing on an indoor soccer team which he is excited about. Other than that we're having fun working on the house and playing our wii and his xbox.

Me. well i'm diving head first into being a stay at home mom on a budget. I'm enjoying having fun with kyler and finding new inexpensive ways for my family to have fun and save money. I've been writing on my new blog samasecretlifeofastayathomemom.blogspot.com. I've been seeing what i can make new from what i already have to beautify my house and i've been learing the art of couponing and my newest goal is to make a full and complete beautiful dinner for my family every night for $5.00 or less. So far i've made some goodies but i haven't got them all posted on there yet. I've been testing my baking skills as i don't have the patients to follow directions so baking doesn't ususally go so well for me. Other than that i've that i've started a exercise regiment and am trying to eat better. I want to loose about 5 lbs by my anniversary next month. And i beleive i can do it becuase its really not that much for me to generally loose. and after that i'll only have 25lbs to go to be back to my pre birthcontrol weight and the weight i was in highschool. I know its sounds like a lot to loose but before i get pregnant agian i want to get down to at least close to it. Now doing go crazy i'm not getting pregnant any time soon. At least that i can see right now. Maybe next year. I'm enjoying my little boy as much as i can right now. Plus to be honest i hate pregnancy so its a deffering factor. Other than that just enjoying being here and living. Getting excited for spring. You all know how i get spring fever. I just love the sun. And i'm excited for kyler to be able to play this summer.

we're working on the outside of our house i'm trying to figure out how to get myself a garden and what to do with my saded dirt on our front porch as it doesn't get enough sun to do much with. Also we just finished fixing our gate to the back yard. We had someone letting there dog poop in my back yard when we first moved in so kurtis made a gate one night and just needed to fix it a bit so we did that last weekend. and we started a project to get our bricks by the gate all even.

Well i can't think of anything else at the moment hope all is well with everyone.

Love The andersons

Sounds like you guys are busy. I can't believe 25 is just around the corner. Doug makes fun of me when I say things like this, him being an old man and all:) Hitting 1 just as the nice weather rolls in is great--starting to walk when you've got nice weather to be barefoot in, starting to climb when its sunny at the park. Enjoy Montana. Hopefully we'll be heading that way in about a month and a half. Looking forward to seeing the house!
