THANKSGIVING

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my kids and grandkids. We missed my parents and my sister this year. Everyone helped and that made it so much easier for me. Thanks to my sweet family for always making me so happy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Katie made me this beautiful, and yummy cake.




Jason, Mandie and kids gave me the DVD "Australia"



Dan, Katie and kids gave me these cute brown shoes and new luggage.



Beautiful Purple roses David gave me for my birthday

Haven't blogged for a long time. Alot has gone on. One of the latest happened about two weeks ago. David and I were at Katie and Dan's house tending the girls over night. We got a call from Bret, who was home alone. He was all excited and rambling about someone at the door, hitting him and him(Bret) beating the tar out of them. I guess someone came to the door. Bret opened it and there was a guy there. He said his car had broken down and could he use the phone. When Bret turned to get his phone the guy hit him in the eye. Those of you that know Bret.....Know he has a temper. Well, he came up off the floor swinging. He beat up the guy, his friend from the car came and help him to the car and they drove off. David went home, we had the police there and paramedic's there to check Bret out. Don't know who they were or what they wanted. We are just glad all turned out. Wanted to share Bret's lovely injury.

MEMORAL DAY FESTIVITIES

Took all the kids and grandkids to Golden Coral for a buffet breakfast. I've decided I am not a breakfast kind of gal. But we had fun. The we all went and saw the "Night at the Museum 2" It was A wonderful day.

Real Easter A Week Late

Had a nice dinner, an Easter egg hunt, then gave the grandkids baskets.

April Anxieties and Awesome adventures

Had a nice Birthday dinner for Katie's birthday she opened presents with some help from Hailey. I made her a scrapbook. For my non scrapbook talents it turned out pretty good. Hope you had a great Birthday Katie.






Must be a pregnant thing, she craves Pepsi, so here is her Pepsi cake (aunt Mel will love this)








Took Katie to BABBO'S for her birthday














Took Quinn, Hailey and Beau to see "Monsters vs Aliens" in 3-D Quinn has on his glasses see the glare? fun, fun, fun












Easter Eve - dying the easter eggs













Early Easter morning Beau was admitted to Del Webb Hospital. He is still there. Trying to figure out what is the matter. Happy Easter Andersons!

MARCH MADNESS

It was Dan's birthday. He loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Katie made him this white cake with peanut butter, butter cream frosting and raspberry filling. Looks just a sandwich but it tastes like a yummy cake. And for me to say it was good and not be chocolate is say something.













Little girls playing with bubbles.















Noelle's birthday, took her to "Build a Bear" she made Sally. We had lunch at the food court and went on the little Merry-go-round. Fun day!









HAD LUNCH TODAY WITH KATIE AND WHITNEY WHILE HAILEY WENT TO NOELLE'S DRESS UP PRINCESS PARTY. HAILEY LOOKS CUTE AS PRINCESS AURORA.

Making cupcakes for St. Patricks Day. Was a fun day.

Washing the cars

Have you ever had one of those great days? Yesterday was certainly one of mine. Katie and the girls surprised us and dropped in with chocolate covered marshmallow eggs in hand. We played out back they took a couple turns on the swing. Bret was washing his and Beau's car. Hailey decided she wanted to help, then Whitney wanted to get into the act. I thought these pictures said it all. Enjoy.

President's Day

On President's day we met all the kids (except Bret, he had a class) at Olive Garden for lunch. We had alot of fun. We love spending time together as a family. We sure wish Bret was there.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

We had a great Valentines day. David and I hit a movie and "Outback" on Friday the 13Th. On Sat. we had all four grand kids. Some one had heart attacked our house that was fun. We bought shirts for all the kids, of course Quinn had to have something a little different. We played then went to Old McDonald's for dinner. We were tired but had so much fun with the kids. We hope our married kids enjoyed their night.
