Ohhhhh Nooooo are we in trouble!!! She is now pulling herself up to things and just wants to help. She loves to try to play on the computer more than anything. Oh I guess I need to mention, although I hate to because it is still a little bit of a bitter subject, but she did get a hold of one of my exercise DVDs and ruined it. Oh well she is going to keep us busy busy but we love love love her!!!

There is beauty all around! We took the boys to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa in Beaver and the morning before we left I was able to take a walk with my mom, uncle Brent, Aunt Kathy, and cousins. I was taken away by the beauty that surrounded me. I am a believer that when you are in nature you are closer to Heavenly Father. I was reminded how much he loves us and shows that by the beauties that he created for us to see.
I was thinking all this and then Uncle Brent found a snake. I know all creatures have a special purpose but even the tiny creepers make me jump out of my skin.

I have to say it did make me a little homesick.

Abi and I surprised Kev with a new lawn mower. It was so fun to watch him, he was like a little boy on Christmas morning. They really never grow up their toys just get more expensive. The lawn is looking great!!!!

We have ourselves a tree! We would like to introduce the newest member of the Anderson family. This is a Mexican Red bud. Kev would like to reassure everyone that it has all its papers and is legal!

Random pictures that make me smile!!

I do have to explain this one. As we were driving to Phoenix we look in the back seat and find pillow heads. Instead of using them to lay on the boys decided to put them on their heads and bug their sister. Abi didn't think it was very funny but Kev and I laughed right out loud.

Mac loves baseball! He had a great season and learned so much. Thank you coach Green!

His team, the "A's", took second place. They were really a good little team. It was fun to watch Mac.

He always had a good cheering section!

Mr. Nathan Anderson class of 2010!!!!!! We were so excited that we were able to attend Nathans graduation party. It is hard to believe that he is graduated and on his way to NAU. We are so happy for him and know that he will do great things!!

Although the kids were excited to be at Nathans party they were also so thrilled to be able to play in the pool. I am afraid we have water rats for kids!! Kev and I went and did some car shopping and everyone help watched the kids. We were so grateful for their help. The kids were even more thankful because they didn't have to spend time looking at vans and were able to spend the day swimming.


Mac and his love for goggles.

All Ben could talk about was getting in the pool. Look at his face and you can see pure happiness!!

Maggie spending time with grandma and grandpa.

After we put the grass down Joe told me he wanted to take me to get a patio table. I was so excited. We headed to Wal-Mart and found the one and headed home to put it together. I was so very excited!!!

The kids were even more excited! I think we have eaten out there nearly everyday. Thank you so much Viv and Joe we love our little table.

Dear Sewing Machine: Why can't we just be friends? Sincerely Jill I post this only because I want to remind myself in years to come that I am not, I repeat, I am not an advanced sewer. Macs teacher asked for someone to help sew signiture bears for each kid at the end of the year. Me, feeling guilty that I can't help in the classroom like I would like decided that it can't be that hard. Ummm I thought wrong! Thank goodness for a good friends that can sew and had a son in Macs class. It all worked out in the end.

Not only do we put Viv and Joe to work in the yard and on the patio table but here they are helping me stuff bears. We really did have a good time getting the bears stuffed, and I appreciated their help more than they know.
