January 2010

I am going to update on a monthly basis this year, which means I'm going to have to be a lot better at taking pics of all our happenings.. so... here it goes!

Our January happenings (or at least the ones I got pictures of)

Popcorn for Family Home Evening Belen and Thyssen discovered our lemon tree in the backyard. We made lemonaid and of course Belen wanted to sell it. She made $2.70 from the neighbor across the street!

She's saving up for the Ariel/Eric wedding dolls.

Thyssen got a new hairdo ala Skippy
Gina got even cuter... Belen "babysits" for me when I am doing stuff around the house

It rained and rained and rained!

Thanks Julie and Regan for the fun rain gear!

Non pictured events: Thyssen started a gymnastics class, Belen started Ballet again, we had visits from Nonni and Papa, and I also have to add that I mowed the lawn for the first time in my life ever! I think it may have been my last time also.

December

I wanted to upload a few pics from December and didn't realize how much we actually did this last month! The only thing I didn't get pictures of is Christmas... I know, I know.. it;s kinda the biggest thing we all do in December but I went to get my camera out on Christmas Eve and the battery was dead.. so that's how that went.

Took a family trip to one of our fav's.. El Burrito Jr. in Seal Beach
Belen was a horse in the Nativiy scene for our ward party.. I made her headband- she was a pink flashy horse.
Gina was Blessed at the beginning of the month

Skippy made lots of fires to keep the house warm

We partied at Trena's house a few times.. Mama and Gina livin it up

Shannon babysat so we could go Christmas shopping...

Belen had her Brithday Celebration at Buca... they misspelled her name.. Pelen.. B sounds a lot like P over the phone- I can't really blame them. Last time she was Helen so at least this is something new!The Gang at Buca
Ricky and Shannon had a personal invite from Belen...

We babysat cutie-pie Charlotte..
Gina turned 3 mos. on Dec. 3rd
Nonni, Papa and Mama took Belen to see Suessical the Musical for her birthday
We went to our neighbor's Christmas Ice Skating Party.. Belen didn't get off the ice for 2 hours straight- not even for hot chocolate and cookies..

We had a very fun month!

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...
