The Real Thanksgiving...

Cute Baby, wtih the big eyes....

Today several of the fam got together in Salt Lake and had Thanksgiving Dinner with Robyn's brother Jonny, thanks to Marie Calenders. We had a wonderful dinner but were missing some family members. Some of us are not going to bed tonight but starting the black friday experience at Midnight tonight in Park City. Sounds fun? Robyn is babysitting but the baby and her will go shopping at 4:30 am, not quite midnight. She's too old for the midnight thing. But the cricut is on sale at Walmart and it's a good deal, can't miss a good deal. The big news is that Robert and Robyn are leaving on Saturday for the drive to LA then boarding the ship to the Mexican Riviera. A Family Reunion Cruise. Arvella and John, Neils and Susan, Delia and Alesha, Mark and MaryAnne and of course Robert and Robyn. So We will take lots of pictures and there will be updates soon. Sorry we didn't take pictures of Thansgiving the real one, but We have some more cute pictures from the last Thanksgiving....

Blessings Everywhere.

`Happy Thanksgiving We had a somewhat surprise visit from Ryan and Family and had a pre-thanksgiving dinner 2 weeks before thanksgiving. Ryan, Carrie, Kaydree and Carrie were in Provo, Ryan had a business client he was auditing. We were happy to see them. We had a surprise party for Afton and baby Brooks and then Thanksgiving on Sunday...Photo shoot after church. But the BIG NEWs was when Ryan and family got to our house they had us all stand around in a circle and look into a box. The box contained a ultra-sound picture of not just one new grandbaby, but Twins....On thursday we may know what they are...More news later.

Carver's Blessing in March






It was quite an honor for Ryan to be invited back to Rexburg to be a part of the business summit.



Ryan works for PWC in Dallas. He came to Rexburg to help with a summit. Ryan and Carrie's second child was born in January 2008, his name is Carver James Anderson. Their daughter is Kaydree Nicole Anderson.

She will be three in September. Carrie is a stay at home mom and does a great job with the kids. Kaydree is not only beautiful but a genius. Carrie also does a fabulous job decorating their home.

A big thanks to Jordan and Melanie...

5 out of 9. We had a great time. The kids loved the zip line and pond.

The rest of us loved getting to know each other all over again. It was great to see all of you and those who couldn't make it, we hope you get it on your calendar for next year because you were missed.






Kelan's birthday scrapbook page...















Ryan and Carrie took these darling Grandkids to the photographer on the 4th of July. What a precious pair they are. How cute is that. Thank you everyone for all the cute pictures. We have learned to copy pictures off of others blogs and E-mail. I wouldn't say we are computer literate but we're doing better. One of Robyn's favorite hobbies is scrapbooking. She has recently finished Spencer's mission scrapbook (at least until he comes back to help her finish all the way) and just completed Kelan's first birthday (picture shown) Next I hope to work on Ryan's graduation from Ohio State, from two years ago. She will never catch up but having her own computer has made it a little easier to store pictures. Blogging has added a new dimension to the scrapbook mania...

rob and rob by the banyan in Hawaii








In January 2008,
we had a wonderful
time in
Hawaii,
Robert had a few hours
of business.
making the trip possible.
It was sure
fun to get
out of the
snow. The new camera Robyn got for Christmas really came in handy. We are so grateful for Robert's boss Rich for letting us tag along. You can't believe how beautiful it is. We also saw Hawaii's desert and a place that reminded us of the Crater's of the Moon in Idaho. Of course it was a crater.




This is the oldest banyan tree known, planted during the civil war. It takes up the whole park that it is in. We feel very fortunate to have traveled to such a fun, and amazing place. Hawaii is almost Heaven on earth.
