~Family Pictures~

My family had family pictures taken this past Saturday by Heather Nuttall, you can see her beautiful work here! She is fantastic at her art and lovely to work with..She made my family look so good.. sorry but it's true!! Here are a few....!!

(P.S. I can't believe that my brother got away with wearing his hat.. but that's my brother for ya...)

I played with this picture a little... :)

I love my Forever Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And yes.. this was the same day as Kelly's reception..hence the same shirt)

Babysitting

A few nights ago I babysat for Kath and Treven while they were trying to move into their house. (Which is beautiful, by the way) I took out my camera and started having some fun! I love these kids so much! (I messed with the pictures a little..)

Sweet Spencer

The other night my mom called me and asked me if I wanted to hear a cute story.. of course I did so she went on..
She told me that a mother of a boy in Spencer's class stopped her and told her this story. (this lady's little son has M.S.)
She saw her son running across the play ground at recess and he fell down because his muscles went weak.. as all the other boys were standing around laughing at him my sweet little brother Spencer went over to him to see if he was okay and help him get up. (Of course I cried) And it's not like he wanted attention or even thought that it was the right thing to do.. he just genuinely cared.
I love that my little eight year old brother has a huge heart and cares about others and their feelings. I love him so much and am so happy he is part of my family!

Birthday Weekend

So a lot of things went down for my birthday. It all started with my desk being decorated and my silly manager wrote out in play-doh "BAR-BIE" because I can go to bars now.. It took a lot of explanation for me..
Then my team.. kinda forgot a cake for my birthday which I cannot even eat, so they were going to get me some sugar free cool whip for me to have a bite of) haha! Well any who.. it became a huge spectacle and we went to the cafe and I opened the gift from my manager.. there is a picture below of the crew first sad cause we don't have any cake.. then just fine!


Then I went over to my parents house and had dinner and a Red Velvet Cake. Friends and family came over to celebrate..



I spent the night there and left for California with my mom, sister and Aunt Kathy.
We had a very pleasant time. We stayed with my other Aunt Lori. One of the highlights of the trip was when we all five went to Downtown Disney and then went to see Mamma Mia. We were laughing and singing the whole time after that!







Then it goes on.. I came to work on Monday and some friends took me to lunch at a really cool bar place and they had the waitress bring out Sugar free cool whip that we all shared! It was sweet of them!

New Mexico..not so bad

My visit was not so bad. I had a ton of fun with my aunts and mom. It was a real bonding experience! And I am so happy to finally be apart of this tradition in my family!! Here are some pictures to show you our travels.. and I was messing around "practicing" with photos because I want to be a photographer. Enjoy!

One Year

As of today it has been one year since the passing of my Grandpa Anderson. It seems to have gone by really fast to me. I really wanted my grandpa to be alive to attend my wedding but that didn't happen before he left. It kinda makes me sad to think about, but I do know that him and my grandma Wheeler are going to have the best seats in the house when that day does come. I am grateful for his great and loving example while he was here on the earth and know that he is looking out for us from heaven.

Realization

I have come to a realization... I am soo blessed it is crazy!! I have a fantastic family, a bunch of awesome friends I don't know what I would do without and they all mean so much to me!! I do really have a lovely life... not to brag or anything. :) But here are some pictures that are evidence of this Lovely Life of mine... Seriously.. LOVE MY LIFE!!!! I know it's random, but that's why I love it soo much!!

~Spencer~

I love my little brother Spencer so much! He is so cute! Sometimes he comes up with the funniest things to say and they just crack us up. An example was yesterday morning, he woke up and starting talking about a commercial about cows in a field, I won't try to recreate it cause it is just not the same. So it turns out that he just dreamed the whole thing.. But he had a whole story and it sounded real. Silly kid!! Oh and another cute story is a while ago he was drawing pictures then having dad write down songs that he would make up for them. one picture was a stick figure man with no face.. his song was, "I am a happy man, I am a happy man, I am a happy man, with no face!" It was sooo funny! Still is! Well I love him so much and don't know what I would do without him!!!

Welcome...

To the wonderful life of ME! Today I spent some quality time with my family at my little brother Spencer's birthday party. He turned 8 this past week, and we had a party for him today at one of those inflatable bouncer party places. My Aunt Kathy brought her 3 boys... Parks, Ev, and Fletcher. They are so cute, I just can't get enough of them. The party wss really fun! Happy Birthday Spencer!
