Motorcycle Family Picture

Fall 2008 Family Picture. Bryan absolutly loves his motorcycle & has rode it almost every day. But he is not the only one! The rest of us love it too!!! The boys can't keep their hands off of daddy's bike, so we drove it up by Deer Creek to take a fun family picture. What a beautiful day. (I drove the car w/kids, he rode)







Halloween 2008- All Right! Who guessed it on our survey? We were the family of Super Hero's for Halloween. Bryan was Iron Man, I was Wonderwoman, Taylor was Wolverine & Hayden was Superman! We made the rounds, and everyone loved it. Half of them didn't even recognize us because we were so made up. The only reason was that they saw Hayden as Superman. We had a great time!


This past month in November we had a really sad thing happen! We made the decision that we needed to find our Skittles a new home. A lot of families and people came to see her, but we found a really great family from Brigham City that came down to see her and decided to buy her from us. We are really excited for her and will really miss her. The family keeps in contact with us and keeps us up to date with her progress. She will be in a really good home with people that will take great care of her. Oh how we miss her call and letting us know when someone is home or that it is time to get up in the morning! Our home is now a little more quiet!


So a little bit of exciting new in our family! This past week we finally sold our Buick LeSabre! Our little family is getting bigger and we are needing a bigger car, so we caved in and bought a Honda Oddesey. It is navy blue and really decked out. I love it! It will be an adjustment and make our budget a little tighter, but when and if we decide to have more kids, it will fit great. This next summer, we are super excited to go camping now, and many other things that will fit our family and our luggage. We love it and are having fun with it.

Just a little update on what everyone is doing: Bryan is currently still working at UPS in the mornings, & is killing him off. On his days when he works lat at RC Willey, I go to work at the Hair School so he doesn't get to sleep much on those morning. He is such a great man, and works hard for our family. What a Hero!!
I have been really busy in working with Management stuff, doing Hair at the home, teaching at the Hair School, being a mom and my 3 callings at church. Life is crazy, but definitely keeping busy.
Taylor is excelling so much at Noah Webster, he surprises us on a daily basis! He is doing addition (and is really good at it), very good at the arts, & loves to sing! He currently stays after school on Mondays because he wanted to learn Spanish. His new favorite thing is to help me with cooking. He is a great help with Hayden and loves to play together.
Hayden is our little monkey! He is definitely following Taylors footsteps. He absolutly loves his big brother and loves it when he gets home from school. He giggles because he is so excited to see him! He loves to give squeezers, and hugs. He is still working on kisses, they are still a little slobbery!!!! We are currently working with him to talk, but he has decided he is in no hurry. Only to make sure he keeps up with what Taylor is doing.

Christmas is right around the corner, in a couple of days! We want everyone to know that we love you and are thinking of you this time of year! We are so grateful for our Savior and everything that he did for us. The reminder of his birth is a great reminder of how sweet the Gospel is in our lives & that we know that we can return to him again some day. We look forward to that day when we can walk and talk with him again. Most of all to know we will see our friends, & loved ones again! Life is short, we live it with the fullest intent of excitement and love! We love you and hope you have a great Holiday Season.
Love, Bryan, Jerilyn, Taylor & Hayden

Yellowstone 08

In August, we decided that we hadn't taken a family vacation at all this whole summer because Bryan started working at UPS in the mornings, and can't get the time off. Before we went to Yellowstone, I went out and purchased a double stroller. One of those Sit n' Stand ones. I wasn't about to take kids and only hold hands. I felt much better about putting them in the stroller and buckeling them in. People always said it was a scary place to take kids. But, it was on my list of things to see in UT, ID, MT, etc. Yes, we made it to part of Montana. That is one more state I can chalk off my list to see. Nothing there really! Anyways, Yellowstone was absolutely amazing!!! We saw some of the coolest things.

Bryan took this one of the bears! Almost that close! He was crazy!!! The cars just stop to see anything off of the side of the road even if it is a bear! J/K. Anyways, we couldn't see why everyone was stopped, but Bryan told me to get the camera and go take a picture. I got about 75 or 100 feet from the crowd, and someone said there were bears. I was out of there. I took a quick picture and ran. I didn't want to get eaten!!! Anyways, I got back to the car and Bryan asked. I told him and he looked at the picture I took. He yelled and said that you can't even see them. They just look like part of the bushes. So he got out of the car and went to take a bunch of pictures. A little crazy!

We got over to see Old Faithful too! We waited to see it, out in the HOT SUN! Taylor kept saying he couldn't see anything, until it went off. Then he said that was cool, can we leave now? You know it lasts about 10 minutes. I thought it was going to be a quick spray and we had to take the picture quickly. We go to stay in a really cool, rustic cabin that was made out of logs. It had 2 double beds and a bathroom in it. We took coolers to keep all our food cool, and then we went out to dinner. In fact, we went out to Italian for Bryan's Birthday Dinner.

We had a really great time! I don't think we'll be doing it again soon, but we had fun.

Family Pictures

So we finally got around to getting some family picts. These are 3 of my favorite boys in the world. The only outdated thing in the family picture is that we have two dog instead of one. I thought that I would not ever own 2 dogs. But somehow I got talked into housing a second dog, and supposily fell in love. Well, Taylor is 5 in this picture and Hayden is almost a year. The rest of us, well, that will not be mentioned!

Kim Collings

Died Sunday July 27th, 2008 @ 30 years old.

Our dear friend! This past week was such a hard week as Bryan, our little family & his family, lost such a special friend. Kim was a close family friend that Bryan grew up with just around the corner. He took Kim to dances, sent her flowers, and all the sorts that a best friend would do! She lite up a room when she entered & one thing I will never forget is that she loved candy & made the BEST Ginger snaps, even I couldn't make for Bryan. Kim left behind a husband, Chris Collings, and a son, AJ Collings & family and friends. We will dearly miss her, but know and understand she has touched every heart she has come in contact with!

We love you!!!

I'm No Bully!

If you are thinkin' the same thought, I'm no bully is true, you are right. My twinner boys in their Pj's. Grandma Anderson bought them twinner pajamas, and they are soooo stinkin' cute!

Birthday Cake

Hayden loves Balls! So we did a birthday cake like a football and cupcakes like so many other different balls! It was great.

Hayden turned 1! I can't believe that this first year has flown by so fast. Time is so precious with my little ones!!! Thanks to Macey's grocery store, we got a free birthday cake for the person turning 1 year old! The lady wrote the frosting in BLACK. Just FYI, make sure it isn't black with your kid. It was fun watching him dig into the cake, but boy, it was sure messy to clean up. Thank goodness we were at the pool with a hose close by. We had a great time there with friends and a few family members. Nothing huge was thrown because that week we all had the flu at our house. My family (the Metlers) were all out of town. The Anderson family had a quick short BBQ and played a some fun games. What a fun weekend, after the long week with the flu. It was great to feel healthy again.
