HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDEE GIRL

A year in the life.....

Happy first birthday to our little Andee girl!!!  You are an absolute joy to have around.  You have such a happy temperament and you are constantly smiling.  You love to climb, especially on the stairs, and you are always getting into every cupboard in the kitchen.  You adore your older brother and love to follow him around and get into trouble with him.  Every time he looks at you, you light up and grin from ear to ear.  Your favorite spot is your mama's hip and you insist on always knowing were she is at all times!!!  When daddy comes home you put your head down and crawl toward him as fast as your little legs will carry you until he scoops you up in his arms. Your sweet blue eyes are beautiful and melt our hearts.  You are such a blessing to have in our home.  We love you Andee girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANDERSON FAMILY 2012

I feel extremely blessed this Christmas season for my beautiful little family.  We have a roof over our heads, food on the table, good health, wonderful family and friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I am so very grateful for the opportunity I have to be a wife and a mother.  There really is nothing else in this world that brings me more joy than my husband and kids do.  Yes....there are days when the dirty diapers and dishes pile up and when the laundry seems never ending.  But, even on those days I consider myself blessed to be a part of their lives.  I am thankful for the perspective the gospel brings to me and for the peace it brings into our home.  I know that my Savior lives and that he made it possible for me to try and be a little better version of myself each day.  I pray that this coming year we can do more as a family to seek out those in need of our service and strive more diligently to do those things that welcome the spirit into our home.

ZOO LIGHTS

Last night for FHE we went and saw the lights at the Phoenix Zoo.

I was worth every penny.  Jace LOVED it!!!!
