A Day Off!

We got a extra day off and I know that you will never guess what we did! Yep that is right the Reid's were off in the Trailer with the Wheelers to go get dirty. We went to Miller Canyon, yeah, I didn't know where that was either. It is a pretty good drive up the middle of Utah, West of Delta. It was cold but not rainy, thank goodness, I can handle dirt and I can handle mud but not together. That will bring a side out in me that no one, especially Kent, wants to see.



We met up with friends and family from Cedar and Salt Lake. I was especially excited about The Hansen Family! They are a family of Boys ranging from 10 to 1! Zak fit right in and possibly picked up a bad habit or two (or maybe the other way around, My boy is knotty)but he had a great time.





The beginning of a long ride.....


The end of a long ride....



Here is the group that shared Memorial Weekend 2008 with us! It was a great time and I am already looking forward to next year, and already hoping for a few degrees warmer!

These are a few of my favorite things!

Next to Mom, Daddy and the Dogg-e the Wheeler, Juice and Cheeps are a close second as Zaks favorite things! We got him his own seat for the 4-wheeler and tried it out on Saturday. He had a blast! Dirt and Perma-Grinn all day long. Mom and Dad had a great time too. There is nothing like a happy kid!

Kylee's Triathalon





On friday kylee took 10th place in the 2nd grade triathalon. We were so proud of her in our eyes she took first:)

Gettin started on the family cabin



On Saturday Dad and I, Tianna and Beau (and Sam) went up to the property on Kolob to start clearing the land for the cabin. Dad was like a maniac with his new chain saw--chopping down trees dead or alive. Beau was a wild man with the mini-x breaking up the trees, pulling out stumps and stacking the wood. Mom and Tianna kept busy protecting Sam from the big bad machines. It was exicting to see an actual place where a cabin could be built. It will be a project, but it will be so fun tom have such a beautiful place for the family to gather.

Happy Birthday Dad



The Family went out to dinner this week for my dad's 53rd Birthday. With Tianna and Beau leaving the State we are using every excuse we can to get together. And true to Anderson form we have to have good expensive food. I thank my dad for that gene! Kent is never suprised that when we go out to eat I order the most expensive thing on the menu, it is what I want. When I am with my family so does my dad. So I like to go eat with him it makes me feel better, I am not the only one with expensive taste.
Tasha took a minute to write about what a great mom we have, I want to put a shout out to dad too!
Dad did have it ruff, as an adult and a Mother, can you imagine having 5 girls! Not to be mistaken the DAD of 5 girls, and I guess the best you could hope for is ugly ones, well that didn't happen to dad. I for one have forgiven him for alot of what he did to me growing up, I just didn't not understand why he had to be so controling, stupid, opinionated, what else did i think as a teenager....anyway you get the point, if I were him I think I would have locked us up in our room and never let us out, period! So needless to say we are all alive and happy well adjusted adults so he must have done something right.
Dad is funny (sometimes he thinks he is funnier than we do) goofy and would do anything for his girls. We may have heard "No" alot growing up, maybe not alot but some, but never when it mattered. Even now if i needed anything my dad would be there.
He has worked his life trying to provide for us. And what a job he did! Who would have thought that he would have a sucessfull business all his own, we did! He worked long hours with dedication of a man trying to take care of a large family and it paid off. He shows that dedication in his faith too and obviously someone else has noticed too! He is a man that could look around at all he has accomplished and be proud! We are proud too! We couldn't have asked for a better dad - We Love You!

Silly Bryson

This morning the first thing Bryson said after I feed Jaxon was, "Come on Jaxs lets play". Then he turned ran down to his room as Jaxon crawled behind him so excited that his big brother wanted to play. That was a hour ago and they're still playing away in the room.

Our great Mom!!

I know mothers day was yesterday, but I wanted to write a few words and tell our mom how awesome she is. First off she raised five daughters. Most of the time when I tell people that I have 4 sisters I hear "O your poor dad", But I say " O what an amazing mom I have". Between the hormones and all the cars we crashed she was always there. The broken hearts from those really stupid boys that didn't want to date us anymore, she was there too. And when we did stupid things that most parents would be so disappointed about (which I'm sure she was) she sat next to us and let us cry it out always knowing that she raised us right, and that we would figure it out. Now that were all grown up we all laugh at the fact if we go longer then a few weeks with out seeing our mom we make a point to make a trip to Mesquite just to say hi and talk about what ever we are going through, and just like when we lived at home she listens and lets us talk it out never telling us what to do just listening and loving us. So on this mothers day I want Every one to know that we have the greatest mom in the world.
Love you mom you are our best friend.

Super exciting you guys...

Hey I don't want to hear any more about how I'm such a bad blogger! Everyone needs to be better!
The most exciting thing going on in our lives right now is that we are finally landscaping our yard. It isn't finished yet, but already looks a million times better. Here are some pics of the beginnings...
