Fun videos!

PPPPPEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

WWIIIII.......BAUX

Ok, so recently Cam has been saying "WEEE" a lot. We thing he got it from the stupid Gieco commercial with the little pig screaming "wee" all the way home, and was really cute but it got a little annoying after a while. As we were driving to Helena, Mike saw a sign for Wibaux, Montana, so he decided to say "baux" after every time Cam "wee." And it turned into a really fun game for us.

The Summer Events part 2

So the rest of the summer was just a blur. With the birth of Nathan we were running around like crazy (at least it felt like it) as we got use to having 2 kids around.

As you can tell, it didn't take very long.

In mid August, we took our chances and went out to Helena, Montana to visit with Dani's family. Both kids were really good for it...after we all got use to traveling. But it was still a lot of run!

Cam had loads of fun with his cousin Izzy!

Nathan enjoyed lots of quiet time with Uncle Landon.

Cam learned ways to comfort Nathan.

Cam love digging in to stuff at Great-Grandmas.

Cam also learned the joys of a touch screen computer. That was fun to teach him after we got home to not touch the screens of our laptops.

Cam was a big help with packing.

As you can see, they had a blast with Papa

Cam enjoyed video games! (Sorry still Uncle Landon)

And we all would love to go back and visit again!!

The Summer Events part 1

So this past summer was a very busy one. Especially, the end of July and the whole month of August. We are so bad at keeping this blog up to date and we feel so bad about it, but at least we can give a summary. Well to start off with Mike (Shorty) finished his first year of law with amazing grades and started an internship in St. Cloud shortly after the summer started. He was and is working for the public defenders office up there, and even though during the summer it wasn't paid, during the school year he'll get paid a little bit, don't know how much and I don't particularly care but at least it is some spending cash. Even if it is just for gas.

Cam got his first hair cut and was fascinated by the scissors. So the only thing that kept him from grabbing for them was to give him the comb, that he swiped from my hands.....such an interesting toddler I have...

Cam put on a dance show for me...

...spent time with the cousins...

...in the pool....

...at the zoo...

...and showed us that he's ready for beer...root beer that is!

Then, of course the highlight of the summer!! The birth of our second son Nathan Thomas, born July 18, 2010 at 8:39 a.m. Weighing at 6 lbs. 7 oz., 20 inches in length.

Cam just loves his brother!!!

And of course to end this post with Cam art!!

Swimming, Sunburns, Summer

...Alliteration in the title. I should have put "Sizzlin'" in there too. Oh, and I may be a bit biased, but that is one cute kid up there. So here's the lowdown from the Anoka Andrewsens: First off, I (this is Mike) finished my first year of school, and am eagerly anticipating a Summer of working part time for the Stearns county Public Defender's office. In the interview they asked me how I would fare with friends/family if I was defending potential criminals. My answer: "I kind of live in my own little world, so I probably wouldn't notice even if they disapprove." So I've got that going for me. As for news around the house, Grandma and Grandpa are out of their house and into ours, kind of. At least during the week they're staying with us (although Grandpa is kind of like a Superhero, and comes and goes as he pleases). Cameron predictably loves it. Every time the front door opens he drops everything and rushes to the stairs to see who it is. If Grandma tries to sneak downstairs he climbs down the stairs as fast as he can to tell her all about his day.

Replace the weird looking guy with the blindingly white legs with Grandma and his is basically what he looks like every night. He loves to talk with his hands. He gets into these rants where he sounds so serious like he is teaching you about the tensions of North and South Korea and then he'll start whispering--obviously to make sure Kim Jong Il doesn't pick up on his brilliant ideas. Then he screams. He loves to scream. To the people at church: Yes, the kid you can hear screaming from the other side of the building is ours. No, he is not unhappy. Yes, your kid is probably going to pick it up from him. We apologize.

So we've been to Lake George a few times in the last couple weeks, and Cam just gets braver every time. Not a lot to add (see the post below) except that we all got sunburned the last time. Cam wasn't so bad, he got sun screened. Dani got a bit of a burn. But guess who gets the worst? Something about having skin that is "white as the driven snow" and sun just don't go well together. Oh and we're starting to realize that another baby is really coming in a few months. Seriously crazy--definitely a mix of "What were we thinking?" and "Awww, let's look at more of Cam's baby pictures he was so cute and little and look how peaceful he was when he was sleeping." So that's been fun. What else? Oh, as you can see in that picture above (kind of) pregnancy still takes to Dani well. She's as beautiful as always, and is currently sporting Minnesota paraphernalia. I'm going to convert her to a Minnesotan yet. I've got two years left, so I like my chances. Also, she watched an entire baseball game with me today--without falling asleep! I've said it before and I'll say it again: She's a keeper!

Lake George

So the other day it was super nice! Near 70 degrees!! (or at least that what mommy told me) All I knew was that it was warm out and mommy took me to this BIG tub of water with all the friends that to play with. We splashed around in the water for a long time...that is till mommy took me out cause she said I was getting too cold, and that it was lunch time. I wasn't shivering that bad, honest! But it was still a lot of fun! I didn't go back in cause the water got cold on me after I ate my lunch and mommy said I was really tired. So we left after a hard day of playing in the water! It was a really fun day and I hope we can go again here soon!!

The Great Cam Detective!

These are the credits to "The Great Mouse Detective" in case you didn't recognize where the song was from. Cam is dancing a little homage to "Risky Business" and showing off to the little baby ladies.

Easter and a Crisis!

Easter! And we thought we'd share some Easter goodness. Cam has been loving life, and the warm weather has him enjoying the outdoors every day. We also have something of a terrible crisis: The name of our blog is "threeshorties" and we're soon going to have four in our family. Terrible, I know. So enjoy the videos, it's Cam practicing his directing skills.

New Baby!--And Cam news!

Since the last time we blogged... Cam popped some teeth I took finals we had christmas break bought a christmas tree decorated it put lights on it gave cam some presents cam sat in a sled indoors hated the sled outdoors saw Avatar (SOOOOO long) I went back to school Dani got pregnant Cam popped two more teeth cam sings cam dances we take pictures cameron laughs we blow up a bottle of root beer on the porch Dani started teaching primary at church Cam gets sick and is really cuddly then feels better and stops being cuddly--bittersweet feelings about Cam being sick lots of diapers are changed and plenty of clothes get dirty. So I think that about wraps things up!

I am currently on Spring Break so I actually have time to write something on the blog! More importantly, we found out what new baby is going to be... It's another boy! So we all excited and working on names and are pumped to already have clothes and stuff ready for the new little boy. And now it's time to stop talking and post pictures.
