Mikael's Scooter Accident

I have always been proud to say that none of my children has ever broken a bone. Well I can no longer say that!!! Mikael's first week of track off from school my friend Shelly and I decided to walk to the park with all of our kids on bikes or scooter's. Mikael stopped quickly, lost control, fell and landed on his wrist. He spent his 4 weeks out of school not doing many of the physical activities he enjoys.





NJHS



We are sooo proud of Makenzie! She works very hard in school and because of her dedication she was invited to apply to National Junior Honor Society. After writing an essay, doing 5 hours of community service and a letter of recommendation from her 6th grade teacher she was accepted into NJHS.

Makenzie's 13th Birthday!!!

We started the day by taking Makenzie to her favorite restaurant at P.F. Chang's

Mom & Makenzie headed to the salon for a new hairstyle and got her nails done!!!

Anxiously waiting to open gifts

How great it is to finally be a teenager!!!

Disneyland Trip!!!!

Ryan had a trip with work to California, so we decided to give the kids a gift of going along with him for a late Christmas present.  We spent 3 days at Disneyland and California Adventure.  We had a great time being together as a family, which can be few and far between these days with Ryan's heavy travel schedule. 

How did I get stuck riding the California Screamer!!

Ryan decided that KenaDee could not have a driver's license for a very long time!!!  I'm pretty sure he had whiplash afterwords.

Corbijn enjoyed all the great things he could touch!

The kids are in Jail!

Look at that face!!!

Ryan's fun trip to New Orleans

The day after New Year's Ryan, and three of his good friends from Parker went to New Orleans for the Utah vs. Alabama Bowl game.  They had alot of fun! I'm pretty sure they are the only 4 guys in our ward that are Utah fans!  GO UTES!

KenaDee Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel Solo

This year for the holiday's, KenaDee performed in the School Choir.  Here is a snippet of her singing away during Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel.

Christin and Ryan Ride and Strumming in Style

Christmas 2008 brought a new toy to the Anderson household.  

Ryan's job offered up a grand nugget if he hit a big stretch goal with his account in 2008.  As promised, they delivered.  Christin was given the choice and she decided to go for fun.  Now taking up residency at the Anderson house is a brand new Mercedes G Wagon.  It is a beautiful car and more than we ever deserved.  

Thanks PC and Bru!!!!

Christin also delivered to Ryan a life long dream....his very own guitar and amp.  Now it is up to Ryan to learn and have fun, probably more of the later.

Christmas Day 2008

As usual, tons of fun this Christmas morning.  As a family tradition, we sit down and split out the presents while we watch each other open them up.  The family is getting bigger, the in between time is getting longer and we enjoy the gift giving longer as well.  Here are a few pictures from this morning.  

Merry Christmas and have a great day.
