Laughed till I cried.

So the other night Abi, Kev and I were talking on the bed. Well I had just changed Maggie and when Kev stood up he had a little present attached to him. He didn't realize and started walking away. I tell you what we laughed so hard and every time I see this picture I still laugh. This might be a "Had to be there moment" but I wanted to remember it!!

This is what happens when your older sister needs a model for her to practice with her new camera. Poor kid, although he did enjoy all of the attention.

Just hanging out!!!

Today as I was bathing Maggie Mac asked if I use to take baths like that. I told him I did when I was a baby. Ben said, "Yeah that was back when the dinosaurs were alive." Oh well he keeps you humble.

We are loving the snow here in Page America!!!! So far this year we have had two snow days and several late starts due to the snow. We think it is fabulous!

It is hard to believe that our Maggie is old enough to start solid foods. Kind of makes me sad. I thought she would think this was the best thing ever, but no, she prefers the easy way. We will try again in a few weeks.

The other day mac said, "Mom I can't wait to go on my mission." I told him I was so excited that he was excited and then Ben chimed in saying he was excited too. I asked them where they would like to go and Mac said somewhere that they speak what we speak. Ben said, "Me too." Mac is going to have a little shadow.

So later we were waiting for Abi in the high school parking lot and I noticed a boy kissing a girl, well guess who else noticed, yep the boys. Both of them were just watching them. I told them that we didn't do that. Mac said "Ever?" I said well after your mission and you start dating. Both Ben and Mac agreed that would be a good idea. The next day Ben came in and said, "Mom I can't wait until my mission. " Again I said that is so great. He said, "yeah cause I can't wait to kiss a girl!" Oh how that boy is going to keep us on our toes.

And the resolutions begin!!!!!!!
For years we have wanted a "Total Body Gym," you know the one with Chuck Norris. Well we found a generic version. We did some research and feel it was a good choice and about 1000.00 cheaper! Coming soon: A buffer Anderson family!

Ben being the first to try it out.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!! We had a great New years Eve and day. We headed over to our friends the Larsons and spent time visiting with friends and had great Chinese food. Thank you Larsons for a great time. Then we headed home and played the Wii. All the kids stayed up till midnight, even Ben. Abi caught Ben falling asleep right before the ball fell and took a picture and that woke him up. They were all so excited about staying up and having the horns for them to blow was a real treat, (I am telling you I don't think they could have been any louder!!!)
In our house we have a tradition that Mrs. Clause comes on New Years eve. The kids leave their shoes out and in the morning they have a little surprise. This year she even left Maggie something even thought she didn't have a shoe out.

The kids having fun with their little surprise.

On New Years day we pulled out Mac's science kit and had some fun. We made some blood and learned how it clots.

Next we learned how the intestines work. I have to say this was beyond gross. The kids had fun learning how the body works, and why is it that boys think the grossest stuff is the coolest?

After the science we headed for a walk up potato hill. What a great way to start New Years.

She is just growing too fast. She had her first roll over right before Christmas from her belly to her back. She is as sweet as they come as long as she is being held. She is a little spoiled by all of us, and I hate to add that she can be a little sassy, but ohhh how we love her.
