February is a big birthday month!

Daniel loves to drink out of a big cup - then he won't let it go. It's definetly his, you won't want to drink out of it any more!!
My brother William's (with his son Zackary) birthday!
My sister Chelsea's birthday!
When the boys are on the ground first thing Daniel does is start to crawl all over them. Lately he's been attacking their faces and giving them kisses - it's so cute!

Random cuteness of Daniel

Daniel was just over 6 months during these pictures and I love how cute his personality is!! Just chilling, chewing on the thumb!
Sad:(
Happy:) He loves to stick out his tongue while he smiles.
So cute!! I can't help it.

A couple more things!

I forgot about a couple things that the kids did this week that was so funny.

Jacob and Michael had woken up earlier than me one day and they heard Daniel waking up. I heard the boys come in my room and Jacob said, "Mom don't worry, go back to sleep - I'll take care of Daniel." The reason this is so funny is because he knew if I stayed in bed they wouldn't have to start school yet and they could continue playing. It made me laugh!

We went to the library on Wednesday last week and checked out some books. The following morning Michael had a really worried look on his face and he had his flashlight out searching all of the nooks and crannies in the house. I asked him what he was looking for. He was looking for a library book that he thought he had checked out that he couldn't find. He told me, "They are going to arrest me if I loose my library book!" Poor boy. We realized later that he didn't check it out after all. Pretty funny!!!

I have gotten behind!!

It's crazy how fast time flies!! It's been a month and a half since I was last here!! I really need to make blogging more of a weekly habit!

This was New Years Eve at Sam's parents house. It was his brother's (Hyrum) idea to have a "contest" on who could last the longest with no soda at the start of the new year, so we could all be more healthy. Needless to say, everyone seemed to get their share of soda that night. So far no one has had a soda yet!!

Fireworks on New Year's Eve.
Daniel at 5 months! He is getting big.
So, we were at the store and of course the diaper bag with the extra outfit was in the car. When you least expect it a huge blow out happens! But, he is so cute with no shirt on!
One of Sam's new dreams is this boat the "Sun Tracker". He's just getting comfortable! Sam was going through this phase when he wanted Michael's hair to keep growing. It was kinda getting out of control! Sam asked Michael for the comb to do his hair and this is what it ended up like! Michael said he looked like the bad Peter Parker from Spiderman 3. It was really funny he was in character for the picture. He is such a ham in front of the camera.
I am one year older!

Any time that Daniel see's one of our phones he wants them so bad. He is making sure that he has a good grip on it.

He is now sitting up. He can't sit himself up yet, but when we sit him up he scoots very slowly on his bootie - it's the cutest thing.
My boys!
My Grandma came into town - this was her first time meeting Daniel.
Believe it or not - this was on Friday just past Tucson in Vail where my parents live. We are about 1 mile from my parents house.

Michael & Grandpa having a snowball fight!

The result after being hit by a snowball in the head.
Grandpa made Michael a "snowman".
This is a toy at Grandma's house. Buzz Lightyear's head goes right into Daniel's mouth! If he get's upset you know that this will help calm him down.
We got this hat when Jacob was a baby. Each of my boys have worn it. One of these times I will post a picture of each of them with the hat on. It is so cute!

Our Christmas!

Michael said, "Santa has to be real - because they don't make Bumblebee Transformers for the store!" He was so so happy!

Daniel's first time playing with a toy - so cute!Jacob got exactly what he wanted too! Yes!!
Superman!!Jacob's ferrari.
Ya gotta get the Hickory Farms!! It's the best at x-mas!Michael's star wars legos.

Jacob is a really good artist too - he got some pencils and sketchbook to keep him busy, and to keep his papers together!!

We had a great Christmas. The boys were happy and that made us so happy. They said it was the best Christmas EVER!!

Anderson Family Christmas 2007!!

Our family was all together this Christmas. My brother Nolan just got married in September to Keree and Daniel was born. Now Sandy is messing things up - she is due in May!! haha our pic won't be updated for long. Also my brother Bryan is engaged to Gabi who lives in Brazil. They are waiting for all the paperwork to process so she can come to the U.S. and marry Bryan.

This was a funny picture because we were kinda on a hill here and Sandy kept slipping down = we were all looking except Michael who was still smiling for Tania. (Tania took our family pic's on Christmas Eve - thanks!!)

Our first family picture since Jacob was 6 months!! How sad is that!! I think it turned out pretty cute despite the wind blowing hair around!

The boys.The grandkids/cousins. Daniel couldn't take it any longer. The thumb had to go in.

Christmas morning at 6am - craziness!! Heather and Nate had to catch a plane home at noon and still had to see his family too. Zack and his ching chings (aka. swords) watch out!!

Sam and Daniel exhausted!! We were up till 2 am then had to wake up at 5 to get to my parents.

Duron Family Christmas 2007!!!

Here is a cute picture of the boys we took after church the Sunday before Christmas.

Every year we get together with Sam's family on Christmas Eve. This year there was quite a crowd of people. Probably between 70-80 friends and family in all. It's fun to see everyone and my family is there too! Sam's family came down from Phoenix so it was extra special to have them there.

This is Meno trying to tell the rules for the white elephant game. It was very very hard for him to get everyone's attention. It was kinda funny. We were in Sam's parents garage. They had it decorated very nice.

Still goofing off during the rules!!

Here is my mom with Daniel.

Michael's silly face!

After the game Sam's brother Hyrum prepared a family slideshow from the year 2007 and we all watched it - it was hilarious again!! Thanks Hyrum & Alicia

Then we went in the house for the Christmas story and Santa's arrival. There was only one little boy who cried the whole time Santa was in the room! Funny

Jacob and Santa.
Michael checking out Santa.
Betsy with Santa. (Check out the shoes!! The boots didn't fit - so crocks had to do the job!!)
Sam's Uncle David had just proposed to his girlfriend Linda. She said "yes". Congrats.

Sam's Artwork

Here are some of Sam's projects that he has worked on during the past few years. I'm not sure how he does it - he has a huge talent!

This one was for his brother Ray for Christmas - he finished it in the nick of time - literally. We were a little late on x-mas eve in order for him to complete it.

This one was for our friends, Jeremy & Echelle Slade. It's pretty awesome!

Sam did this on his brother Hyrum's kitchen wall at his house.
