Some Stuff

Here are a few pics from November.
This is my cute niece, Maggie at Disneyland.. Thyssen was cracking her up and I got a good shot of her teeth!
oops... sideways pic! At Dland in front of the big Christmas tree
At the school across the street from Skip's parents... I have no idea what they are talking about, but Gina and Skippy look cute.
My niece, Charlotte. We took a walk to the park with her.. isn't she so cute? She makes me feel so special because she claps at everything I say!

Belen and Thyssen having fun at CA Adventure.

NOT on the Move!

THE NEW RUMORS ARE TRUE......

The Andersens are NOT moving!

On the Move

Yes, the rumors are true....

The Andersens are MOVING! I know, I know, it's crazy, but with Skippy starting law school in San Diego, we just got to go! We were going to try the long distance thing where he would come home on the weekends, but we decided that would be WAY too hard. We found a nice apartment with great amenities and it is super close to the trolly stop for Skippy to go down town to school. We are going to REALLY miss our family and friends up here and our ward. We'll be officially gone twoards the end of the month. We'll be back up here at least a few times a month to hang out.. so don't write us off completely! Here's a pick of Belen and Thyssen "helping" us clean things up and pack...

Summer Fun

We've been trying to stay cool this month..

Which means playing in the water every chance we get.

Thyssen tryed to get Belen....
Just like a good big sis, she got him back about a hundred times worse!

Youth Conference

Skippy and I were chaperones at Youth Conference this year. We were the parents of the "John Taylor" family and were in charge of 10 teenagers. It was held at UCSB and we stayed on campus in the dorms. We had a ton of fun, but came back exhausted! It was a great experience and it was fun to watch the youth have such a great time.
Skippy showed up the teens at the dance...

Bryce and McKenzie busted a move...
Our John Taylor children- they were a nice group of kids.
Making our neck-beards. John Taylor was the only prophet to have a neck-beard so we capitalized on that when we had to make up a song about him.
Me with some of the girls from my ward.

It was so great and I know that these youth will remember this weekend forever.

The Ponies Came to Preschool!!

A photographer brought a pony to Belen's Preschool....

I pretty sure I've never seen them happier...

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

I've always said that Regan knows how to party. This year for her 5th Bday, she invited Belen to get a Princess make-over at Disneyland! The girls couldn't have had a better time. They were pampered by Fairy Godmothers and Julie made them matching tutus. It was a little girl's dream come true! Thank you to Regan's Poppi for treating us! It was truly magical!

Check out Julie's blog for more pics, too!

Poor, Sad Maidens

Getting Started.....

Make-up time!! They also got to take home all their make-up!

A little sprinkle of Fairy Dust....

And we get a beautiful princess!!

The Happy Princesses!

Thanks again Julie, Regan, and Poppi! We had a GREAT time!

Belen's Birthday

I finally got around to sending off the thank-you notes from Belen's Birthday party (which was in January). That's just how my life is right now... I think everyone understands, right? I'm sure I'm not the only busy mom out there :) Here are the pics from her party- she had so much fun!! Thanks to all her little friends for making it such a great day!
