Labor Day Holiday Weekend

Hello everyone! It has been at least a month since I updated our blog this last time. I think that I am getting a little better and faster at what I can do with it. The time before this I beleive it was a couple of months, so improvement is always better. Anyways, this past month has flown by so fast with everything that has happened. We started the month with preping for Check Outs again! It is never ending, so I will leave it at that. On the first weekend in August, the boys (Anderson Men) rode to Sturgis, South Dakota. It was almost a 13 hour ride. They saw all the stores, bars, events and even got a chance to go to Mount Rushmore! While they were there, they had a hailstorm that literally distroyed Brad's truck and Alan's trailer. Anyways they made it home all safe and sound.



The following Wednesday, on Bryan's day off, we took the boys and went to the Hogle Zoo. What a blast we had. Grandpa Anderson got the chance to come with us too. Not too many people were there, so it made the day a whole lot better.



On the 15th we celebrated Bryan's birthday. He turned the big 31 this year. He took the day off, but it rained the first half of the day. I had to work and go clean an apartment, but later that day we went to Ikea to walk around, picked up dinner at PF Changs and ate it on the way to the Demolition Derby held at the Utah County Fair grounds. I accidently forgot the tickets, so they ended up putting us right in the middle of the stadium on row 2! It was so much fun!!!!



Taylor started 1st grade this year! He is still going to be attending Noah Webster Academy, and his teachers name is Mrs. Rayes-Ciaro. Try getting a first grader to pronounce that name! I just told him to call her Mrs. Rayes. Anyways, she is new, just graduated from BYU and finished her internship as a teacher. Hopefully she does a good job. I haven't heard from her, but we have parent teacher conferences coming up at the end of September. Taylors favorite part of school is lunch time. He loves the fact that he can take his lunch and eat it at school. His second favorite thing is that they have lots of recess time! That was really funny. Anyways, getting back in the routine of waking up and getting breakfast and getting him out the door for carpool by 8:10 am has really been an adjustment from the summer routines. Even for me, at times, I just want to stay in bed and sleep. Lack of sleep has been really common lately!



Then last but not least, we had a fabulous Labor Day weekend. It was a HUGE weekend for Michelle and Leslie. It was their big Swiss Days weekend up at Midway. They always do such a great job, and sold a ton. Afterwards we took the boys swimming and stayed a the condo. They always really love to take a break from being at home all the time. Sidney had a really fun time swimming and checking out what the boys were doing in the pool. I think by watching them, it helped her relax a little bit in a bigger pool. What cute grandkids The Andersons have. Another really extiting thing that is happening this Labor Day weekend is that we have officially changed or moved our Labor Day to March 8, 2010. On that day we will be adding a new little one to our home. We are so excited and surprised about the BIG news. After so many miscarriges, this was really, really big. I have not been on any drugs or anything to keep this little one. We are officially 14 almost 15 weeks along. At the same time, we are really disappointed, the Anderson family was planning on going to Cancun at the same time. We had been looking forward to this trip for almost 2 years, being it would be our 10 year anniversary. We'll see! Anyways, it will definitely surprise you if you are reading this one. REMINDER: those that are reading this, should not tell those around them, if they have not read our update to the blog! Encourgae them to read it!!!
We love everyone and hope your life is as exciting as ours. Love, Bryan, Jerilyn, Taylor, Hayden and Baby #3.
