Happy New Year!

It has only been 4 months since we worked on our blog. Or at least posted pictures.

We had a great Holiday and New Years eve. The boys have been super busy playing with kids, friends, cousins and more. Here in UT, it has been extremely cold and Snowy! Too cold to go outside so it has been hard to keep the house clean.

We have many things we are looking forward to this new year. Bryan has been working too many hours during the holidays. During the week of Christmas, he worked at least 75 hours. Yep, we never saw him. We are currently in the process of looking for new job, exploring school options, and much more. Hopefully this year will be a year of a lot of good progress! I have been keeping busy working with Legend Real Estate, and doing hair when I get a chance.

Taylor has been a busy body. He loves the Wii, his new nintendo DS and playing with his best buddy Hayden. He is such a great kid and VERY smart too! Much smarter than both Bryan and I when we were his age.

Hayden loves pre-school, playing with his brothers Makay & Taylor and tries to be a big help to mom. We are currently working on his speech and is coming along really well! People are amazed on the progress.

Makay is my little crawler and monster. He likes to get into everything! He loves food and now has 8 teeth! Time to stop nursing him! :) His 1 year birthday is coming up soon. Can't believe that the time has flown so quick.

Life is good, money is tight, but the love in the home has gotten stronger! We love you all that have shown us your love and support in the past few weeks. We couldn't have made it without you!! We also love our Savior and all the comfort he has shown us in these trying times. We know things will get better with time.

Love,

The Anderson

Fall Pictures

Fall Pictures!
It has been a while so we thought it might be time to take pictures again. Bryan and I are missing, but soon we will get one on here of all of us! The summer few by really fast! The kids are now in school. Taylor in 2nd grade, Hayden in Pre-school, & so just a few hours a day, it is sometime just Makay and I and if we are lucky, Bryan gets to be here too!

Aunt Michelle took these pictures! She always does such a great job & people always ask us where we get them done. We couldn't look cute without her!

Last Week- Waterskiing Again!
The boys went waterskiing with a little help. They are getting better at wanting to get into the lake! Bryan had a great time getting them up. He didn't even fall! He even got up on the first try!!!!

SummerTime Vacation!

Our family took some time off the week after the 4th of July! We did so many fun things we have to share.

On Tuesday we went to Park City and rode the Alpine Slide & Coaster. The kids did a few other rides too.

On Wednesday we took the boat out to DeerCreek. We just sat in the boat, swam, waterski, wakeboard and ate. It was so much fun!

On Thursday we decided to Hike the "Y". Bryan decided to push the double stroller up the mountain. I kept asking if he was sure. He said "yes". OK!!! By the time we got to the top, we stayed for about 5 minutes and left! We won't do that again. After the hike, we went and took the boys to Toy Story 3. They loved it! On Friday Bryan and I got to go to the temple. It was so nice to get to go again. I forgot how much I missed it. After that we took the boys that night to the "Kangaroo Zoo" and then out for tacos! What fun. On Saturday we just couldn't get enough of the lake so we took the boat out again. It was a little more crowded and kinda crazy. Now we remember why we don't go out on Saturdays.

What a fun week we had.

Fun at the Scera Pool! Hayden had a get together with Kids on the Move, his speech learning program. We invited the cousins to come because Rob (my brother) and his wife, Ann had their twins, and Steve (my other brother) and his wife, Robyn, were on their trek.

We had a great time!

Swimming techniques are getting much better, and we are now not afraid of getting our faces wet!!! Swimming lessons start up the second week in August.

As for the rest of the summer, We are heading to Lake of the Woods the First week in August and Bryan will be going to Sturgis in South Dakota the second week in August.

Looking forward to the end of August when students check out and in and when we get the school year started again.

Mother's Day Photo! Gotta love the boys!
We went & took pictures for the grandmas for mother's day. The only problem, Costco messed up the order and pictures were not available until Monday the day after. Anyways, can't get enough of the handsome guys.


We decided that it had been a while since we went to JC Penney and got pictues. They did a good job, but not as well as my sister in law Michelle usually does. They turned out cute! We also had some cute one's of Makays Baby blessing outfit. We got the boys new suits for Christmas, and they all seemed super cute. Every time we go to church, people are astonished that they are so handsome!! A little biased...

Makay brings a sweetness to our home that I can't describe! The boys are a little more soft and sweet to each other. I give it about 2 years...then nothing but fighting, sword fighting, & wrestling!

The most handsome boys in my book!
Well, the spring has gone by so fast and school for Taylor is almost out. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. He will be in 2nd grade next year!!! Hayden is getting ready to start pre-school in the fall. We have been working on his speech and he has been improving slowly but surely. He tries so hard. Today he wanted to explain something to me so he said about 5 words slowly so that I could understand that he wanted more of something we ate for dinner. I was so excited to see what he said. He is growing up so fast! Makay is now 3 months and we finally got him on some medicine for his reflux. Once he was on it he has gained weight like you can't believe! He is starting to coo and smile and do all the things that mom's and dads giggle about.

Bryan is still working super hard at both jobs! In his spare time he has been working on my salon putting up the backsplash, fixing things in the house and now working on our back yard finishing a bunch of projects. It is a long process, but he has stuck with it! He has put up with me and my crazy work schedule. We lost a bunch of managers and now in the process of hiring more. I feel as though I get things working at work, and then something falls apart. I work from about 9am until about 6 or sometimes 7pm. In between all of this, try to be a mom too! I have been super blessed that my kids have put up with me and all the times we HAVE to go to work. A lot of playing doesn't happen much this past year with the kidos. Hopefully sooner than later they can be more of a kid and do what kids do.

The summer is coming up & we have a 10 day vacation planned. We are super excited and will keep you posted as it comes!
