How UNcool Can We Be?

We traded this....

For this! Now Chad gets noticed by the kids and not the chicks.

Amy's Kids

Roman loves being a true cowboy now that he has worker cloves

Ally turned 2 in August

This baby is well taken care of. I need an Emma! Grace is in training.

Roman is always the gentleman.

First Day of School

Grace started Preschool Sept. 1st and was very excited. Some neighbor kids are in her class which made it easy. I tried to say a formal goodbye the first day but she was too busy talking and playing. She even told her teacher all about a bee sting she got. Hopefully my social butterfly will learn how to spell and write her name.

Pleasant Surprise

Jake is growing up too fast. Today Chad was playing with the girls upstairs and Jake was on the main level crawing around. Chad heard him cry, but then he stopped and it got all too quiet. As Chad got up to check on things Jake came crawling around the corner. He climbed up all the stairs at 9 months old! I'm impressed because I haven't seen the kid climb a single stair at this point, not even 1 knee on the first stair. I'm very glad I did not witness the event.

Baby Sophie

Amy had her baby on Tuesday the 27th via c-section. Mom and baby are doing great!

Sophie Christiana Anderson, 6lbs, 18 1/2 inches




While we are introducing cute babies, here's Taylor, Tami's little girl, 8 months

A Summer of Highs and Lows

It's been one constant party this summer. Amy let the kids help on this cute cake for Justin's 36th birthday.

An especially fun trip to McDonalds

Grace spazzing out before going on a fishing trip on the river behind Grandpa Randy's house. She loved the boat ride and all the baby sharks Grandpa caught.

Just wondering the streets listening to birds chirp

A "wheeler" ride

Lots of sleepovers. Roman passed out early.

Clint playing with his kids until the Idaho fireworks start

This Summer has been filled with lots of good BBQ's. Tami's husband Jerod is the chef here.

Cousins take such good care of eachother

Lots of parks and fun


I don't even have photos of Clint and Mel's recent trip here where we went to Lagoon, the Lehi pool, jumpin jacks. It's been a fun and busy Summer. Chad started his own software business with a partner, Bonnie's visiting for a while, Amy is having her 4th kid tomorrow!

With all the blessings comes some sad times as well. Over the 4th of July weekend we learned that Chad's cousin had lost her little boy Max in a boating accident. Max's funeral was especially hard. He would have turned 10 July 8th and loved life and people. He was very talented in music, surfed with his dad, loved Star Wars and legos and was a joy to be around. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our hearts ache for their family. We love you Leanne and Ryan.

Our good friends Mardie and Danny moved to Boise and Chad's cousin Matt and wife Kliss moved to Las Vegas. When things change it reminds you of relationships that are important to you and why we live this life.

The Kids

"These are spiders, not olives!"

Kate's getting into everything. As compensation, she will play in her crib for an hour after she wakes up. It gives me just enough time to clean up and start over again.

She puts on underwear by herself

Whenever I try to take a picture of Jake he beelines it to the camera

He just put himself to sleep
