EXCITING NEWS!!!

The other day at lunch Mac mentioned that his tooth was hurting. I just past it off and thought "Oh great another dentist bill" a few miutes later he came in and told me he was tasting blood. I looked and he lost his first tooth. Unfortunatley he swallowed it. But Abi helped him write a note to the Tooth Fairy and she came and left a little something. Abi also lost a tooth on the same day. We are all about keeping the Tooth Fairy busy! Mac informed us tonight he has another loose tooth. I can't beleive it they grow too fast. It makes him look older.

A beautiful view and kev captured perfect!

Fun times at the lake! We worked hard at the house all day and thought we needed a little fun. We had a little picnic and a nice swim in the lake. It was a beautiful day. It was one of those days that made us appreciate where we live and the family we have!

Testing the water, Abi's deciding if she really wants to atempt.

OHHHHHH WOW that water is a little cold that first time in!

Here's our little man watching the other swim. After this he came running back to me saying, "Mom you help me?" He is a little bit scared of the water. After a few minutes he was comfortable, maybe a little too comfortable.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

We just want to send out a very happy day to our dads! Kev had a good day. We just want him to know how much we love and appreciate him. Kev does so many things for our family and we hope he had a GREAT day!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN-JAMIN!!!!!!!

Out little guy was born on June 14th 2005. It is hard to believe that it has already been three year. Like the saying goes "Time flies when your having fun!" and we are having fun! How blessed we are to have three beautiful children. Benjamin had a great day. We decided to go to St.George to celebrate (really to pick things out for the house but hey what does it hurt to kill two birds with one stone?) Right when Ben woke up we had him open his presents, and he loved every minute of it. Through out the day he would say "Mom, mom, thant to for the presents, I ike em!" We had a great day and were able to accomplish many things.

Ben and I went to the store and he picked out his breakfast. He wanted cereal and doughnuts. So he picked out Apple Jacks and white powdered doughnuts. He thought that was GREAT! Needless to say so did his brother and sister. He had the special plate with his breakfast bowl on it because we were out of town for dinner and we wanted him to take part in the "You are Special" plate.

One of the best parts about St. George was going swimming. There is a great little swimming pool there that has a slide and other great activites for the kids to do. We all swam and all had a great time. Ben thought this was a great way to spend his birthday. He loved the slide he went on it time after time.

The day wore our little guy out! After swimming he just couldn't help but take a little nap before he had cake.

Benjamin knows that birthday means CAKE!!! He knew just what he wanted "Chocolate!" So after swimming we found an Albertsons and found him his chocolate cupcakes with "Hulk" colored frosting. They had little stars on them that he thought were great and loved being sang to.

We all enjoyed the cupcakes! Some a little more than another.

Over all it was a great day! We had a wonderful time together and created some good memories!

And the potty training begins! Yes he is playing a game while he uses the bathroom. He takes after his dad!!!! He is starting to get the hang of it, I do beleive if he really wanted to he would have it mastered. It just isn't always a convenant thing.

Mac and Ben are on the hunt. They saw a lizard and almost caught it. There is nothing they love better than being in nature and capturing insect for pets!

Kev and the boys went on a little hike to "The light house" The views are so great. We truly do live in a beautiful place.

Camping Anderson style!! Kev put Abi's little tent up in the kids room and they spent a couple of nights "Camping" Hey I love that it's that simple.

We started to summer off with a BANG! I headed to girls camp in Tropic Utah (by Bryce canyon) the kids went to Grandma and Grandpas in Beaver, and Kev had to stay home and work. We all had a great time (excpet for Kev he was lonely). This year girls camp was focused around out theme "Be Steadfast and Immovable always abounding in Good Works" The stake camp was Camp YOUGOTTAWANTA. The Stake had asked if each ward would come up with names that included the word "Rock" (you know being ROCK soild and immovable) Our ward was the "Rock Stars!" we had a great time with this theme. We have the best girls in our ward they are fun, full of energy, and a great example to all around. They truely are rock solid in their beliefs. Abi looks up to them all and I appreciate how they handle themsleves it sets a good example for her. It did get a little chilly. I think it dipped into the low 20's at night. I hate to admitt the leaders had a warm trailer (the heater worked GREAT!) The girls didn't complain they were good sports. Although I had a great time it was so good to see my babies and hubby I missed them so very much!

Here are my girls getting ready for their skit. We were the "Rock Stars" so all the girls were different "Stars." We had Madonna, Cher, Micheal, Tina, and "The Rock". We were pretending to put on a movie and all the stars would sing their hit song and try to get "The Rock" to go to this party. In the end "The Rock" is steadfast an immovable and doesn't go to the party and is the example to the other stars and they don't go to the party. They ended by singing "We are the World" I tell you what these girls can act. What a good group of girls.

Our little abi had to get new glasses. This is her second pair, but the first were not a necessity. Her eyesight was a little off but would be ok without glasses the doctor said it was up to us. We decided to get her glasses anyway. She was good at wearing them the first year, but this last year her precious little brother broke them so she hadn't been wearing them. When I received a call from the school nurse telling me she had failed her vision test (she also failed her hearing test, but that's another story) I decided it was time to get another eye test. Sure enough her vision had gotten worse, alot worse. I don't think she realized how bad it was until she put her new glasses on. It is funny to watch her take them off and then put them back on to see how clear she sees things now! She is near sighted.
