In Memory of Nathan Jordan

2011-10-08T08:50:00.000-07:00

Back in the beginning of married life, T and I made our first married couple friends in our ward. They are Nate and Kami Jordan, Spencer and Natalie Styer. During those first years we spent numerous accounts at each other's house, sharing dinners, watching unbelievable amounts of WWF and working out at the same gym. One of my favorite memories of first meeting the Jordans was of Kami and she had a pink streak in her hair and I thought, she's gorgeous I want to be her friend. She was sitting in front of me in Relief Society. She turned around and introduced herself and said something to the effect that we should be friends. I remember seeing them both at the gym we worked out at. I continued to think these 2 are an amazing couple and continued that thought over the last 10 years of being married. Since than we have all moved apart and kept in touch a bit over email, phone, facebook, etc but as life always goes we didn't keep in touch as good as we should have. On October 1, Nate passed away due to cancer. He had been fighting AML, a horrible type of Leukemia.

We planned the 5 hour drive to Riverton, WY to attend the funeral. As luck would have it we were able to meet the Styer's within seconds of each other a little over halfway into the drive. We a little concern over leaving our truck in the middle of nowhere we hopped in and enjoyed a couple hours of reminiscing over the good old days.
At the graveside we were able to hug and cry and of course leave it to Kami to make us laugh in the middle of tears. How we miss you Kami and of course will miss Nate for years to come.
Nate was a big fan of comics. He especially liked "The Punisher." After the grave was dedicated, Kami and Grace approached the casket. Kami let Grace put stickers on the casket, just like any 5 year old would want to! They put 2 small Superman emblems (for Grace & Scarlett), one large Superman (for Kami), and a Punisher (for Nate.)

We had to make a stop at the Jordan's gym, Ironworks! This is the place Nate was founder of the "half ton club." Basically means he was amazingly tough and could squat and bench 1,000 lbs. This is Natalie Styer and I trying to be half as tough as Kami has been through this entire trial. We love you Kami and you are an inspiration to us all!
Tristan and Spencer Styer and the Ironworks image that I have to admit resembles Nate a whole lot. Thank you Nate for the friendship and know you will be missed!

In the words of Kami, "Go home and hug your husband! Go hug your kids and your dear friends!

Cub River, near the top. Me and my girls
Our little family. I promise I'm not that gray, the ride was so dusty that our hair was grayish white.
Mylee and Jetta freezin in the ice caves.

On Saturday of Conference weekend our friends, Nate and Natalie Noyes invited us to their camp spot up Cub River. We spent half the day on a Rhino ride up to the ice caves. The girls loved it and Avery told everyone about the Ice Caves had REAL ice.

10 years

2011-06-02T12:44:00.000-07:00

We celebrated our 10 year anniversary in St. George with our little family and Chris and Karie's family. It was such a fun trip. So grateful for this awesome guy I married. I love him so much!

St. George 2011

2011-06-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

We made it our on yearly St. George trip. The drive down was miserable but the rest of the trip was awesome!! The girls did nothing but swimsuits and water. We hit the lake, the pool numerous times and stream. Avery and Mylee love the swimming!
Hudson and Marisa played in the sand forever!
Tristan and all his girls! Don't let him fool ya he loves every second of it.
Avery has turned into a little poser for pictures. It's hilarious! Mylee and Cord having a ball!
Karie and I soaking up the sun. It was such beautiful weather. Hudson and Marisa loved the inch deep water.
Marisa turning into such a happy little girl!

Dance 2011

2011-06-02T12:28:00.001-07:00

Avery's little dance recital this year they danced to, "Kiss the Girl" It was so cute! She and her friends had a ball and of course she loved getting flowers from her Daddy!

Soccer 2011

2011-06-02T12:24:00.000-07:00

Avery played her 1st year of soccer. She is such a timid little thing so we had to bribe her with a prize for either playing hard the whole season or scoring a goal. About 3 games in she scored a goal off the kickoff and we were all shocked. T took her shopping and she got a new barbie. The rest of the season she went back to playing timid. At least we know our child can be bribed!

Kindergarten Opera

2011-06-02T12:17:00.001-07:00

Avery's kindergarten performed an opera that they wrote, painted the scenery, than performed. It was adorable. Avery was a skunk and during her part would turn around and shake her skunk tail while singing, "Stop or we will spray you." It was hilarious! Cutest little skunk I've ever seen. Cordell was a bat and didn't seem too pleased to have to sing his part. He pretty much stood there with him arms folded looking around, but was of course stinking cute. The title was, "The Gingerbread Kids." Avery also drew a picture of the opera and hers got picked to be printed in the program. She was pretty excited about that.

Matching Girls

2011-06-02T12:13:00.000-07:00

The girls all dressed for Sunday. Sometimes I just love matching them all together. They are just too much fun to dress up!

Marisa 1st birthday

2011-04-05T10:40:00.000-07:00

My baby's 1st birthday. She actually wasn't feeling good so I was glad to get a couple happy moments. I was out of town on her actual birthday so this is the day after. I guess she won't remember anyway.
I love her hair getting a little curl. She such a fun little girl!
The cupcake was bigger than her head. She didn't know quite what to do with it.

Conference 2011

2011-04-05T10:36:00.000-07:00

Daddy and his girls enjoying conference. All they ever want to do is lay with Daddy. I think he's running out of room to hold anymore girls.
They wanted to watch the Prophet. They lasted a whole 2 seconds to say they saw, President Monson.

Crazy Mylee

2011-04-05T10:29:00.000-07:00

This is the perfect picture of my CRAZY MYLEE. Her crazy hair from being crazy on the trampoline. She's truly my crazy girl.

Sleeping Mylee

2011-03-22T14:03:00.000-07:00

2 nights ago I went downstairs in the middle of the night because Mylee came up crying. This was our conversation
Me - Mommy will come lay in bed with you
Mylee - (screaming, crying) Your bed
Me - You want to sleep in my bed
Mylee - No your bed
Me - You want me to sleep in your bed
Mylee - No YOUR BED
Me - You want mommy to sleep in her bed
Mylee - YES
So basically she was crying because she wanted me to sleep in my own bed. Man kid why did you wake me up in the first place. CRAZY Kid!

Valentine's Day 2011

2011-02-19T12:44:00.000-08:00

On Valentine's Day, Tristan came home with Pizza and flowers for each of his girls. It was super cute and the girls loved getting flowers from our lovebug, Daddy.

Future Aggie

2011-02-19T10:13:00.001-08:00

Mylee went with Daddy to the Aggie game the other night. She was so excited to wear her Aggie cheer outfit. She constantly sings, "Utah State, Aggies all the way, Go Aggies Go Aggies!!!"

When she got home this was our conversation
Mylee - Mom I hold Lexie
Me - What?
Mylee - I hold Lexie
Me - Who?
Mylee - Lexie the cheerleader I hold her and her pom poms. She pretty mommy

We might have a future cheerleader on our hands!

Crossfit Halloween Workout 2010

2010-11-08T13:07:00.000-08:00

The Friday before Halloween we had a Halloween Crossfit workout. It was hilarious! Everyone is crazy workout gear. Karie in her junior high cheer outfit. Can't believe she could fit into it.
Shaynna Lamb, Emily Chadwick, Jake Chadwick, Allyson Sorensen, Me, Karie Coats, and Burke Sorensen.
Note to self: Unitards are not breathable. I was sweating to death in that thing after working out.

Lagoon

2010-11-03T10:55:00.000-07:00

This year we went to Lagoon during UEA and Frightmares. Probably the most fun we've had with our kids! They had a ball. The weather was perfect and my baby was an angel. We went with Kristen and Cody Ralphs and family. This is them above getting ready to go on the Skycoaster. They are notably our craziest friends! Super fun to be with but always trying to make us do crazy things. Luv it!

Avery and Mylee didn't want to leave. It was always, "One more ride."

Dislocated Shoulders

2010-11-03T10:52:00.000-07:00

Finally a month after the accident I can put this picture on my blog and not completely cringe. It still makes me sick to my stomach but thought I better put it on now or never. For those who don't know. I dislocated not one but two shoulders working out. Haven't met a doctor yet that has seen 2 at the same time. Boy am I lucky!

Too Too Funny

2010-10-06T14:15:00.001-07:00

We had Cord and London over for an after school snack. They were being so silly that I was crying I was laughing so hard. These little chipmunks stuffed there mouths full of grapes and giggled their guts out. They are too stinking funny!

Grandpa Kim and his horses

2010-10-06T14:09:00.000-07:00

Grandpa Kim invited us to take the kiddos horse back riding. They wanted to go again and again.

Bridger never wanted to get off.

Family Night

2010-10-06T13:54:00.000-07:00

We had a family night of visiting the temple, going to Whittier Center Park, and Ice Cream. It was super fun. The girls were telling us who they were going to marry at mommy's temple. Avery of course will marry Dylan Ralphs. Mylee has multiple boys she has decided to marry. Some of the top choices are Brenner Lamb and Ryder.
They loved the flowers and the water!

Whittier Center Park is so much fun. If you've never been there you need to go.

1st day of school

2010-10-06T13:46:00.001-07:00

We made it to Kindergarten and I'm a little late on the 1st day photos but whatever. She loves school and things are going well. The night before school started Avery said, "Um no thanks I think I'll just stay home." I had to say, "Um sorry but too bad you have to go." She went and loved it.
Cord, Avery and London walking into their 1st day.

Mylee wanted to go to school more than Avery did. Oh the day she goes to school I feel sorry for those teachers.
Cord wanted to drive his motorbike to the 1st day but had to settle for giving everyone a ride around the neighborhood.

Who she loves

2010-09-01T13:23:00.000-07:00

Last night I was laying in Mylee's bed getting her to sleep and this was our conversation.
Me-Mylee do you love mommy?
Mylee-No, I love Daddy and Risa, oh and Aubrey, Cambry, and Chalisa, (she thinks for another minute and says) and Bret, Mommy I love Bret.
Me-What about Mommy?
Mylee-No Chalisa and Bret.
I'm glad to know she loves our neighbors!

Family Pics 2010

2010-08-17T12:53:00.000-07:00

My sister in law, Richelle took our family pictures for the summer. The ones of the family are just sad. Poor Marisa was not having it! Luckily we got some of just her alone that turned out cute.
Tristan, Mylee, Me, Marisa, & Avery. A whole load of girls!
Marisa and mommy!

Mylee is just too fun to have pictures of. I die over her sweet face!

Avery finally smiled good for a couple pictures. Mostly she gave this silly cheeser grin. She's so fun!

Had to get one of just the two of us. The beginning to all this craziness. Love you T!

Slip n Slide

2010-07-30T14:45:00.000-07:00

For our ward party we went to a slip n slide in Wellsville. It was seriously a blast. Chris and Karie came along. Karie was screaming before we even got going. I was laughing so hard and of course closed my eyes.

Avery went down with Marylyn Carroll and Aubrey Wursten again and again. Every time she would close her eyes and cover her face with her hands but she loved it.

T set the record for going the furthest. All the Young Men were totally bummed that they couldn't beat him.

The first time down we went with about 6 of us in a train. After that we were all taking care of some serious wedgies.

Wursten's Golf Cart

2010-06-30T11:09:00.001-07:00

Our neighbors, The Wursten's have a golf cart that they take my kids everywhere on, even to church. This is everyone all dressed ready for Sunday Church.
Chalisa and all the kids on a cruise of the neighborhood. They are so good to us!

Hogle Zoo

2010-06-30T10:42:00.001-07:00

Last week we had Avery's 6 month eye checkup at Primary Children's. Everything went well and she is actually improving a lot. We were pretty excited. We decided to make a day of it and meet Chris and Karie at Hogle Zoo for the rest of the afternoon. When we pulled into the zoo, Chris pulled in right behind us. Perfect timing. It was such a great day with all the animals out.

Marisa was super sweet the entire time. Being a little angel baby!

Avery Mae

2010-06-30T10:39:00.001-07:00

This little girl is her Daddy's daughter. She will sleep for 12 plus hours if given the chance and will not stand for anyone to bug her especially Mylee. If she does not like something she will refuse to do it but when she falls in love with something you can't get her to stop. She loves her baby sister and sings to her daily. It's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

Smiley Mylee or The Monster

2010-06-28T14:02:00.000-07:00

There are 2 names that describe this child to perfection. They are 'Smiley Mylee' since she is the happiest child I've ever know and 'The Blonde Monster' because she is pure craziness. I lose her on a daily basis. Luckily she can be found at only 2 houses, the Wursten's or the Cole's. She consistently walks right into the Wursten's house to find whatever she needs. She will find Jayden and say, 'Let's have a treat' or she will find Bret recently out of the shower and ask him to wipe her nose, and always find the Wursten women to carry her around, feed her, and play with her.

Getting Married

2010-06-28T13:40:00.000-07:00

Avery turned 5 this last week and suddenly looks so big to us. Every time we go to Grandpa and Grandma Anderson's house we have to drive by the temple. And every time we drive by Avery says, "That's where I'll where my white dress and marry Dylan. We hope some day that really happens. Here is Avery and Dylan at her 5 year birthday party. Don't they just look like a match made in Heaven.

Blessing Day

2010-06-10T12:18:00.000-07:00

On Sunday we blessed our little Miss Riss (her nickname given by Daddy). Tristan did an awesome job and Marisa was a little angel through the entire thing. It turned out to be a great day. She is starting to smile and coo at us so the pictures turned out so fun.
Granny Anne made her blessing dress. I could just die over how adorable it turned out. Good job Granny!

Marisa Joy

2010-06-06T21:15:00.000-07:00

Finally I am posting some pictures of my baby. I have to face it that I'm just straight up lazy lately. Anyway these are pictures of Marisa when she was about a month old. She hated getting them done so there are no pictures of the cute tutu that she is wearing but we at least got a couple good shots.

Marisa Joy Anderson

2010-04-03T15:25:00.000-07:00

Coming in at a fatness of 9lbs. and 20 inches long. This is our new little sweetheart addition. Marisa Joy Anderson. We had her April 2nd at 1:47 AM. Everything went super well. The epidural took a long time to kick in because he didn't give me enough according to my height but once in did I was loving life.
She's got this fat little face but skinny skinny legs and body. Don't know where she holds the 9lbs but believe me she does.

Her sisters are really excited! When they came to see us Mylee said, "Who that mom" I said "That is your baby sister, Marisa" She said "Oh" Than she looks up at me and scrunches her nose and gives me the thumbs up sign and says "Good job Mom" It was perfect timing and as usual for Mylee, seriously funny!

Finished Product

2010-03-27T07:42:00.000-07:00

I finally finished all my fun projects and am pretty excited how they turned out. The final touches are of course thanks to Richelle. Don't know what I'd do without you Richey. This is the baby's room. Hopefully that's what we end up naming her huh! The dots turned out super fun.
Avery's room needs a bit more decor but she loves having a big bed and a big room. Thanks Karie and mom for helping me paint when I couldn't stand it any longer.

How many beds do you sleep in?

2010-03-23T15:45:00.000-07:00

As for me I slept in 4 different spots last night. It wasn't just due to being nearly 9 months pregnant. It all started with putting Mylee to bed and she said in her sweet voice, "Lay by me mommy" How do you say no to that. I snuggled up to her in her little twin bed. Of course I fell asleep by her. Than I woke up and went to sleep in my bed till about 1 am. I woke to Mylee crying and once again saying, "Lay by me" so of course I did and fell asleep again. About an hour later Avery woke up coughing so I laid by her rubbing her back and fell asleep again. When I finally woke up I made way to my bed once again. At about 4 I was aching from being so hugely pregnant that I ended up on the couch where I slept the rest of the night till about 6:30. That's when Mylee came up and said, "Mommy I waked up I want a baba (which is chocolate milk) and watch Monsters." She is totally on a Monsters kick. I have to be grateful that I fall asleep fast right? I now need a nap any suggestions which bed to sleep in?

Too Funny

2010-03-18T10:14:00.000-07:00

Avery decided to paint my toenails for me since I can't reach that far. If by chance I go into labor I will have shades of reds, pinks, purples, and blues. They look awesome.

Conversation:
Tristan: Avery how was school?
Avery: Good
T: What did you learn
Av: I can't remember
(She can never remember)
T: What letter did you learn?
Av: y
T: Avery what letter did you learn?
Av: y
T: Tell me what letter you learned
Av: (A little louder) y
T: Because I want to know
Av: Dad not 'why' I learned the letter 'Y'
T: OHHHH
I was crying laughing at that one.

The bigger the better

2010-02-10T10:01:00.000-08:00

I am sticking with the motto, "The Bigger the Better." I think I have to feel this way because my husband makes such big babies. I like to blame it on him that I feel ginormous. I'm on the countdown. 7 weeks left!!

Superbowl

2010-02-08T14:34:00.001-08:00

Superbowl party at the Wurstens with the Lambs. Probably one of the funnest superbowl parties we've been too, included yummy food, fun friends, great game, and top off the night with a Just Dance on the Wii. HILARIOUS!

My girls love the Wursten girls. We'd be lost without them.
Shaynna and Carson have some serious moves. There were moments when I was crying I was laughing so hard.
The girls dancing their hearts out. They played forever. I'm completely exhausted after only 2 songs.

Sick Mylee

2010-02-03T13:40:00.001-08:00

Mylee has got to be the worst sick kid. She won't lay in your arms and snuggle you she just roams the house and cries. It's so heartbreaking sad. Last night I gave her a bath about midnight and for the life of me cannot remember how many baths she had taken that day or how many times I've washed her blanket due to throwing up. While in the bath I couldn't help but take a picture of her sweet sad face but than of course she loves the camera so she had to give me her award winning smile. TOO CUTE!

St. George

2010-02-03T13:26:00.001-08:00

We just got back from a trip to St. George. We went with the Strebel family who are totally a blast to hang out with. We went feeding crazy attacking ducks. Britney was a little afraid. We went swimming, shopping and out to eat a lot. It was a super fun getaway.

Avery kicked her flip flop into the water. Luckily daddy carries golf clubs everywhere and was able to fish it out. I was so hoping that T and Bob would fall in but Avery constantly reminds me that her daddy is the strongest and can do anything.

Avery next to the killer ducks. The moment we got out of the car they were swarming us. I guess they are used to getting fed.

First Timer

2010-02-03T13:07:00.000-08:00

This year our stake had a ski night and Tristan wanted Avery to learn. I was a bit hesitant but she stayed out there for 2 hours and actually liked it. If anyone knows Avery she'd rather be left alone so we were excited that she tried it out.

For the MOMS!

2010-01-22T15:15:00.000-08:00

This is for all you moms out there. I'm curious how everyone else handles their homes so I'm hoping I'll get some comments on this blog.
Do you ever feel like a lineworker doing the same thing over and over again?
How many times do you pick up the house?
How many times do you do dishes?
How often do you do laundry?
How many meals a day do you prepare?
What other things do you do throughout the day that are soooo repetitive?
Are you the type that just does one big sweep of the whole house after the day is over? Or do you do it again and again?
I'm just curious how some of us keep our sanity doing the same things over. Don't get me wrong for the most part I love it but some days I think. "Didn't I just do that!" I guess it's one of those days that you watch the snow and wish for that trip that I'm sure most of us are planning to get away from this weather.

Baby Movement

2010-01-14T12:38:00.000-08:00

Finally this baby is starting to make some serious movements. I thought she was going to be just like her daddy and just chill out in my belly. I was sitting down watching some TV since I actually rule the remote with Tristan out of town, and wow my belly was a moving to the sounds. I love to watch it and feel her going crazy. Sometimes it's super fun to be pregnant! I know in another month I'll be complaining because she'll be huge and pushing on everything but right now it's fun.

NICE

2010-01-11T14:55:00.000-08:00

I have to write this too while I'm thinking about it. A couple weeks ago Tristan was teaching a lesson to the Elders Quorum and talking about serving others and things like that. He brought up the fact that I've always heard, "Cami (my sister) is the nice one and where does that leave me as the fun one or as not so nice." I've never really struggled with it or anything because let's face is she really is the nice one. Anyway a couple of the men after church came up and said, "I don't know what you're talking about you're totally nice." Kind of fun to hear that I can be the nice one too. hehehehe

Sisters!!

2010-01-05T12:22:00.001-08:00

Such fun sisters these two are becoming. I love to watch them become fun friends. They are already excited about having a new baby sister to play with. Avery tells everyone that the doctor messed up and it was supposed to be a brother but we're getting a sister. Still she's excited about a baby in our house!

AWESOME PEOPLE

2010-01-01T12:30:00.000-08:00

I think awesome people come into your life at the perfect moment when you need them the most. I know about everyone else but being pregnant some days are not my best moments. It seems I struggle with silly things and get easily overwhelmed. I've been feeling that way lately. The other day I was out shoveling snow feeling sorry for myself when 2 neighbor boys show up and take over shoveling my driveway. I seriously started crying up. Thanks Nate and Jayden for being in the right place and the right time, you guys are awesome!!!!

My other moment with awesome people was 2 days ago. My neighbor, Christine told me her daughter's friend said to her, "She's beautiful." When she told me that I said, "Thanks I think Avery is beautiful too." Christine said, "No she was talking about you." Once again the tears started coming. I don't know about everyone else but I seldom feel beautiful being pregnant. Thanks for making me feel so good!

Christmas Eve

2009-12-31T11:11:00.000-08:00

On Christmas Eve Tristan's cousins who are hockey playing, figure skating legends rented the Ice Rink in Logan. I invited my siblings and their kids along and we ice skated for Christmas Eve. It was a ball! Yes that's me 6 months pregnant. I know I know only 6 months with that belly. I have to thank my husband for making ginormous babies!!!

Our little family. Avery has decided she wants to take lessons. Mylee got to cruise in the stroller on the ice and she just kept saying, "Faster mommy faster" I only fell once and it was slow enough I think my belly was ok.
Chris's family. Karie, Cordell, Bridger, and Hudson (man I'm in love with that baby)
Ryan's family. Richelle, Mykelle, Tyler, Maryn, and Troy. I had a picture of Cami's family too but now can't find it on my camera. I'm totally crappy at photos!!!

Best Daddy!

2009-12-31T11:07:00.001-08:00

Is that the funnest daddy picture ever? He's so much fun for our girls. All they say is, "Daddy let's wrestle."

Additional Photos

Birthday Pic

Since I'm now a professional blogger I had to add a picture that was a bit older. This was from my birthday in November. Believe it or not I am now 30. WOW! I think I just love this picture of my husband. He's awesome!!

Christmas Card

2009-12-31T08:21:00.001-08:00

So you can know how completely worthless I am I decided to not do a Christmas card. My sister in law, Karie was disgusted with me. She had us come to her house, she took the picture, she created the card, and even ordered the prints. All I had to do is pick up the picture from Sam's Club. Thanks Karie I couldn't and wouldn't have done it without you.

FINALLY!

I, Abbie Anderson am finally starting a family blog. I know it's surprising to many of you, I surprise myself sometimes. As my sister in law, Karie would name me the ultimate slacker I've set out to prove everyone wrong. Give me a break I'm pregnant I can be a slacker. As for my excuses for before I have none. My goal is to be good about blogging for at least 2 months until I'm so huge and 8 months pregnant I can no longer stand it. I've dubbed our blog the Anderson Alibi so you all can know who, where, how, when, or what we are doing at any given time. When our accusers come looking we have proof for claiming not guilty!!!
