Aniversario feliz mi amor

Today marks Bret and my 4th Anniversary! So, Michelle I think you had the under...you might need to pay up!!! Just Kidding! To be sappy I made a playlist of all the songs that mark our courtship and marriage..surprisingly Bret is a song dedicator! So enjoy the gayness....that's what you are supposed to do right?!? In commemoration of our marriage I decided to post some pictures from our wedding day. Enjoy!

I think Bret was a little scared! This is a picture of him while I was walking down the aisle. He totally shed a tear, what every girl hopes to see walking down the aisle!

Pops the preacher man!!! HAHA! Pronouncing us Mr. and Mrs. Andrus

Totally singing, can you tell?

First Dance as hubby and wifey to Kenny Chesney Me & You - we thought it appropriate since it was the Kenny Chesney concert that finally got us together! Long story.....

Me and My Andrus Girls. Michelle is totally going to kill me! Michelle just had Gavin a month earlier and Tiffany and Danielle were both pregnant. I love you girls!

Uncle Bert and Dallin - I had to post this picture because it is the very reason I was first attracted to Bret. At Michelle and Brady's wedding reception (I was working the reception at the country club I worked at, another long story!) I saw Bret playing with all his nephews and I thought wow what a hottie in that suave suit and he is so good with kids!

Bret's favorite bridal portrait, I guess it reminds him why he put my number in his phone under the Name BAMBI. Another long story!

Playtime

Where did she learn how to dance?

Okay, you'll just have to listen to Payton's answer. It is hillarious! Where do kids come up with this stuff!

Dylan - Where are you?

So during the Cinco(Quatro) de Mayo party, Dylan disappeared. Mark was taking a wander around the house to make sure he wasn't into anything. You know those kiddos often times when they are quiet they are into something that will take you a while to clean up! Well Mark decided to take a look in the pantry and this is what he saw..............................................

Dylan had managed to find some crackers and was eating them off the floor in the dark, shut in a pantry closet. Most kids would be scared, heck even my dog gets scared when I accidentally shut him in there, but not Dylan. He is content as long as he has something to grub on! Ambyr your kids are so stinking cute!

Uncle Brock - We Love You!

Uncle Brock - every nieces and nephews favorite uncle. For all the times you have babysat, hung pictures, rigged some pinatas for a party, shopped at hobby lobby for me, cooked up some crazy dish that taste amazing, and explained photons and many many conspiracy theories - thank you! I guess I must also give you props for getting me interested in the Book of Mormon. I will never forget it, I was taking Brock to the airport and he was explaining to me how something was just like the Nephites. I was like what in the world are you talking about??? I mean I was pretty smart for a 21 year old and I had never heard of the Nephites. Brock totally made me feel like I was stupid, saying "What, you don't know who the Laminities and Nephites are?" To this I responded, "No, should I?" And then he proceeded to tell me the story of the two and the Book of Mormon. Oh looking back now it is so funny how everything played out!

Happy 30th Birthday Babe!

So I would post the 30 reasons why I love my husband, but I am afraid I might embarrass Bret! So instead I am going to post my favorite picture of my two favorite boys! Yes I say boys because 30 is so young honey! I love you both to pieces!

Kicking it with Cash and Company

So at the Cinco de Mayo party we had on May 4th. Don't even make me go into that story! So apparently I am the whitest Mexican around. It all started when I invited Danielle (sis in law) to the Cinco de Mayo party and she told me, "I think that Sunday is May 4th."and I said, "Yeah Cinco de Mayo it falls on Sunday it's perfect!" So she then broke the news that Cinco de Mayo was May 5th not the 4th. I promise I knew that, I think it was a leftover pregnancy moment! So then to prove just how bad of a bean I was I then sent out invites to the Quatro de Mayo party to this Danielle later informed me that Cuatro is spelled with a C! So turns out I am going to order Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish, so I can still claim my roots!!

Here are the pics from the Cuatro de Mayo Party - sorry so late but I do run about 2 weeks behind on posts!

Bret the Meat Master

Dad thinks it's good!

Mom and Dad - How cute!

Tank begging for some good cookin' and Ethan wanting to take Tank for a ride

These kiddos wanted to have a family picture with Cash and Grandma.

Bret concentrating very hard on getting some air!

PayPay being cute as always - she was really hamming it up for the camera

Cash Cuteness!

Future Longhorn or Rockstar?

Several times both Bret and I have gone to wake Cash up in the morning and this is what we find....Hook Em Horns in baby boy's mouth! So cute! I have to say sorry to Jo and Diana (die hard Aggies)and any BYU Cougs out there, but my daddy is definitely proud!

Rice Cereal

So Cash went to the doctor last week for his 4 month check up can you believe it...time goes by so fast!!! So since he is now officially a 4 month old he can eat rice cereal, something my mom has been telling me to do for a couple of month now. Anyways, here are some pictures of the fun we have been having with eating rice cereal.

Now my laundry has officially doubled this rice cereal gets everywhere!

So after a week of rice cereal Cash got his first case of the runs! I have stopped the rice cereal because after looking into it further most doctors say to wait until they are 6 months old so that they don't develop food allergies. I guess every doc and kid are different. So now I get a break of baby food and get to enjoy the ease of only the bottle!

Just watching some Idol

So this has become our life....sitting at home watching American Idol, what has the world come to? Bret and Cash enjoying Simon's rude comments. Although I have to admit I miss seeing Danny Noriega! I have been told that we look alike and have the same personality....I got quite offended, but I guess I can see how Danny and me have some of the same head shaking skills!!!

For Danielle...and anyone who watches The Soup..."Some people ain't likin it!"

I love my MiMi

Hands down I have the best mom ever...okay I know that is a little biased, but she is so wonderful not only to me but to her grandson. I wanted to share because I truly do appreciate her and my dad and all the time they want to spend with Cash. So my mom's birthday was on April 4th. This happened to land on a Friday....so lucky! Everyone wants their birthday to land on a Friday. So she calls me early that week and asks what me and Bret have planned for Friday. I ask, "you mean what do we have planned for YOUR Birthday?" She responds with no I mean are ya'll going on a date night? To this I say, "Are you crazy it is your birthday you aren't going to babysit!" This is the end of that conversation because I thought surely it was just a kind gesture and now she realized it was her birthday and she would take advantage. So skip forward to Friday afternoon, I get a phone call from Mom, "I'm on my way, can you get Cash's stuff ready for him to spend the night?" To this I say, "No mom it is your birthday." And her response is, "All I want for my birthday is Cash, I just want to cuddle and love on him he makes me so happy!" What could I say to that????? Mom has taken Cash probably every Friday since he has been on formula to spend the night at her and Papa's house so that Bret and I can have alone time. We count our blessings often and are so grateful for all they do for us! Mom and Dad we love you!

Blake the Snake and Cash

My heart just melts watching Cash with his cousins, especially Blake. For some reason Blake just loves taking care of Cash. Everytime he is around he is always asking either Bret or I if he can hold Cash for us or feed him or even change his diaper. Even cuter is when him and Payton are together and then they play house with Cash. Payton is the bossy mom and Blake is the dad that doesn't quite listen!!! Here are some pictures from the other day when Blake was over....these pictures aren't posed I promise! He is so sweet to my baby boy I can't wait until they can play together!

When we walked into the room, Blake was cuddling Cash so cute when he fed him. How can you not love this kid?!?!?!?!


Bret happened to walk in during Blake's feeding time and wanted to tell him how much he loved him, another cute moment caught by the camera!
