Shame on me! I just haven't been in the blogging mood. I don't even know where to start! I guess I will just say that the Hamblin family is doing really well. We are having a busy but uneventful summer. We would love to do some fun things but with Dave's schedule and lack of pennies we will just settle for hanging out at home. We have been doing a LOT of yard work....cutting down more trees; digging up stumps; raking up 'stuff'; chopping weeds; and hauling truck load after truck load to the hatch pit. When we bought this house almost 2 years ago (crazy!) we knew we would have lots of work to do in the yard. I swear that Dave is the hardest working man I know! He works 2 jobs and when he does have time off he is working so very hard in the yard. I appreciate EVERYTHING he does for our family. <br /><br />All the kids seem to be doing well. Hunter will be two in September and I can hardly believe it! He is the CUTEST little guy with his BIG eyes and ears that stick out.....such a fun little person and we have loved having him in our family. Slater boy has been having some struggles lately. This last January we ended up taking him to Primary Children's Hospital because of blood in his urine and he was urinating 25-30 times in one day. Many test were run on him and all came out normal.....ok.....blood in the urine is NOT normal. He could potentially have a certain disease (don't know how to say it or even spell it, sorry) but doesn't have most of the symptoms that normally go with that disease. So....we left the hospital with not much in the way of answers. For the last few months he has been acting normal but the last week or two he has had blood in his urine again and sometimes he has a difficult time getting the urine to come out. We are planning another trip to PCMC on the 29th and this time I want more tests run....there has to be a reason for his issues. I hope that we can find out the problem so that it can be taken care of....poor little Slater!<br /><br />Ellie and Emma are having an ok summer. They have taken on the responsibility of caring for our new dog BUSTER BROWN MOOSE CABOOSE. He goes by Buster and the kids have LOVED having a dog. For a long time I have NOT wanted a pet but the kids have begged for so long and the minute I saw Buster I melted (dang it!). He is pretty cute and it really has been a fun thing for our family. <br /><br />Dave and I are doing really well. We are very focussed on our relationship and and taking care of each other. We have experienced some great blessings lately and have been so grateful for our friendship and marriage. I am blessed to have a good man and I love him so much! <br /><br />Guess I will stop for now. I hope this update will be of interest to some of you out there. Maybe soon I can post some fun pictures of the last 8 months or so.Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-2234765474918019212009-11-29T19:16:00.006-07:002009-11-29T19:39:19.388-07:00Happy Thanksgiving!Thanksgiving was awesome!

I am such a bad blogger that it has taken me forever to get this up for all to see. The week before we went down to Utah for the yearly Halloween party at Grandma Jean's. It is fun for the kids to be with their Utah cousins and they always have a great time. Thanks to all of the family for a fun time. We enjoy going down to visit.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SxMnZCbPOzI/AAAAAAAAAss/kix_vTIK81w/s1600/party+at+gmas+09+225.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409710888503425842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SxMnZCbPOzI/AAAAAAAAAss/kix_vTIK81w/s320/party+at+gmas+09+225.jpg" border="0" /></a>Here's all the Hamblin grandkids in their costumes.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SxMnY4qqyFI/AAAAAAAAAsk/QL_7n0Klb2Q/s1600/party+at+gmas+09+220.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409710885883791442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SxMnY4qqyFI/AAAAAAAAAsk/QL_7n0Klb2Q/s320/party+at+gmas+09+220.jpg" border="0" /></a> Mr. Hunter was the cutest little alligator ever!

Can you believe it? I surely can't. It's kind of sad because we celebrated our last baby's first birthday. Hunter has been such a fun kid and we are thankful that we were blessed to have him come to our home.

We picked about 3 wheelbarrow's full of the good stuff. It was a lot of work but so much fun. I think we came up with about every corn joke out there. Good times! I am thankful to have a freezer full of corn. Thanks mom and dad for planting it, watering it, and weeding it so that we can eat it! Oh, by the way, if you have never tried it.....put a thin layer of mayo on cooked corn on the cob and sprinkle it with parmesean cheese.....reallly, really, really good! Try it and you will like it!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/Sq522IV-IHI/AAAAAAAAApk/ymq9Q_yUEPI/s1600-h/sept09+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381369277078970482" style="DISPLAY: block;

Time to go to bed early; time to get up early; and time to get in to a routine. I may have said this before but I have a love/hate relationship with school starting. I love that the kids have a routine; I hate that our late nights hanging out are over. I love that the kids are excited for school; I hate the fact that I will miss them while they are gone. I love that the kids will be learning new things and working hard; I hate that the lazy days of summer are over!<br /><br />Miss Ellie will be going in to the 6th grade and I can hardly believe that. She has grown up too fast and I miss my little fiesty baby girl. She is growing in to such a beautiful young lady and I am proud of her. She is a good girl with lots of talent and smarts! I hope she has a great first day! She has been so worried about what to wear for the first day...I have been trying to help her understand that whatever she wears will be awesome and that she needs to worry about what's inside of her and not the clothes she wears. I hope to teach both of my girls that clothes and such are not what makes a girl popular and cool; it's how they treat other's and their examples that will make them likeable.<br /><br />Miss Emma will be starting 4th grade. Oh my gentle Emma! She too has grown up way too fast! She is such a sweet little thing and also one of the funniest people I know. Just this morning she asked me why I wasn't in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and I told her, "honey, have you heard my singing voice? That's why I am not in the choir". She cracks me up. She and Ellie have been such good helpers with Hunter and I will miss that. Emma especially has been fond of Hunter and I know that she will miss him too.<br /><br />Slater boy is now a big boy! His first day of kindergarten is tomorrow and I am so happy and so sad all at the same time. He has changed a lot the past year; his speech has gotten better and he seems to be doing better at lots of things. I am sad to see my little buddy growing up so fast. Thankfully kindergarten is only a half day so I will get to enjoy both of my boys before the girls get home.<br /><br />Ok, enough sentimental journeys. I just love those munchkins and will miss them!Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-42201056452194760912009-08-22T01:58:00.003-06:002009-08-22T02:26:20.340-06:00We are alive.I sure haven't been in the blogging mood lately. Actually, I haven't been in the mood for much of anything. Our family is doing fine and we are having a good summer. The kids and I have been able to go camping a couple of times. Dave has had to work and hasn't been able to go with us which has been such a big bummer! A couple of weeks ago we had a ward camp-out which was great! The kids had a fun time looking for and collecting snail shells by the creek. That was the highlight for them. We all had a good time and the ward was so awesome at helping me with the kids. Last weekend the kids and Iwent camping with my friend Becky R. She has a nice camp trailer that has everything; a sink, toilet, AC, cook stove, couches, etc. She found a nice place in Swan Valley that had a playground for the kids. We all had a great time! About 3 weeks ago we went to Lava Hot Springs and had a ball! We found a great camp spot about 1/2 a mile from the swimming pool. Lava is such a great place to swim and I know we will go again. <br /><br />It's almost back to school for my kids and we have been trying to get ready. We were able to get most of their supplies the other night. We first went through their old supplies from last year which was awesome because much of it was still good. I was grateful. The girls were able to get some cute shirts, a couple of jeans, socks, and undies for school. I have mixed emotions about the kids going back to school. For one, I will miss the girls helping me with Hunter and the laundry. They are so good at helping me carry the laundry baskets up and down the stairs. My back is still bad and they are such good helpers. They are also so awesome with Hunter. Sometimes they change is bum and feed him and I appreciate them so much. They will be missed! My Slater boy will be going to kindergarted this year and I am kind of sad about that. He has been my little buddy for so long and I will miss him so much! He is such a big boy and he is getting excited to go to kindergarten. Can't believe he is old enough to go. It will be fun to hang out with Hunter, he will be my little buddy now.<br /><br />Life is crazy, you know? There are so many ups and downs and sometimes the "downs" get old. I have been having a lot of experiences lately that have been helping me to see the good that is around. The last year and a half for me has been pretty difficult with some health issues but I am trying to be more positive in my attitude and trying to make the best of some situations. I have been doing a lot more reading in the Ensign, scriptures, good books, etc. Reading always helps me and I am grateful to be able to read inspiring messages. I have also had the opportunity to be a member missionary and that has been so cool. A good friend of mine is very interested in joining the church and will be taking the discussions soon. She has a blood clot in her brain and some other problems and I know that she is really thinking about her mortality. What an awesome exprience it has been to be her friend and share with her my testimony. <br /><br />I have such a wonderful husband that I love and miss. He works SOOOO hard for our family and I hope he knows how much I appreciate him. Sometimes he comes home late at night after working 14 hour days and I have hardly done anything at home and I feel so guilty. He truly loves his family and takes good care of us. He does NOT like working two jobs but does it because he loves us. He is a good man and I am so lucky to have him as my husband. <br /><br />I guess I have rambled on long enough. It is about 2:25 am and I am not even tired. I really should go to bed but have so much on my mind. I hope to be better at posting news of our family. I don't know how many people read this blog but I will try to do better at posting, no promises though.Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-72959797505023362412009-07-20T22:52:00.004-06:002009-07-20T23:21:30.956-06:00Some 4th of July highlights.We had a great 4th of July weekend with Dave's family in Utah. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SmVON_0RJrI/AAAAAAAAAmI/l7eo3vuy0Fs/s1600-h/junejuly09+150.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360776933830370994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SmVON_0RJrI/AAAAAAAAAmI/l7eo3vuy0Fs/s320/junejuly09+150.jpg" border="0" /></a> A pic of me and the kids at the fireworks in Kaysville.

Monday was the last day for Slater. I have some mixed emotions about school being out. I am happy that the kids get a break and that they can play outside more and stuff like that. On the other hand the kids will be home ALL DAY LONG! Don't get me wrong....I love my kids very much but there are going to have to be some rules that we establish or it will make for a very long summer. I will be making chore charts and we will have to have some "down" time every day and of course the kids need to be outside. This will be our first summer in a "home" with a yard (which is still being worked on) and I want the kids to have a good time being outside. I am grateful to have this wonderful home and good kids and a hard working husband. I hope I can be patient with myself and with the kids. I have pretty touchy emotions lately due to continued health problems and I don't want to let that spoil my summer and the kids' summer. So, here's to hoping it will be a fun summer filled with good times!!!!!!Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-39432374041734342022009-05-22T08:16:00.006-06:002009-05-22T08:34:40.138-06:00Crazy is as crazy does!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/Sha3Te35Y4I/AAAAAAAAAjQ/6NHlQ9Pz5vE/s1600-h/aprilmay09+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338655953627210626" style="DISPLAY: block;

It's just been a weird few months around here. We are all doing fine though. The kids are healthy, Dave has been working like a mad man, and I have just been trying to stay sane with some health issues. I won't even go into that. Just thinking about my health makes me crazy and frustrated. <br /><br />I am loving the great weather today. It was a beautiful Sunday. We went to my cousin's homecoming talk and it was great to see family. I miss getting together with the family like we used to in the old days. I have such great Aunts and Uncles and cousins....it is always good to be around family. I truly feel blessed to have such good family. <br /><br />Right now my parents are in Utah spending time with my Grandma Smith. Yesterday was her 75th birthday and oh how I wish I was there to celebrate. She is an amazing lady and I love and miss her to pieces. She is my hero and such an example to me. I love you GG!!<br /><br />Last week on Mother's Day I had the opportunity to talk to my little brother who is on his mission in Mexico. It was so good to talk to him. I miss that boy! It was just great to hear his voice and know that he is well and happy. Can't wait for him to come home. He will come home to 4 new nieces and nephews.....Creiden, Riley, Hunter and Cy. <br /><br />We feel so blessed as a family to be where we are right now. We have such a great neighborhood with awesome neighbors! I really feel like we live on the quietest street in IF. Our ward is so great and I love all of my new friends and neighbors. We have been working on our yard like crazy, well Dave has anyway. He has dug out by hand all of the tree stumps and old roots. Sometimes he will work on one stump for up to 4 hours. He is amazing! Our house was vacant for almost 4 years before we bought it and it was so completely overrun with trees and bushes and it looked awful! The poor house and yard just needed some TLC and I guess we are the right family to do that. It will be so great when we have the yard finished and the inside of the house painted. We love our house!<br /><br />Well, I guess I ought to go feed little Hunter.......who will be 8 months tomorrow! Where has the time gone? He is growing up so fast and is such a great little guy. He has been such a joy to our family and we are grateful to have him. <br /><br />I will try to post some before and after pics of the house soon. Take care and I hope to post more regularly.......we shall see!Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-1756267910786712072009-05-01T10:11:00.000-06:002009-05-01T10:12:27.536-06:00This is blog worthy...I lost 8 lbs. in 5 weeks!!!!!!!Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-66089860343709746692009-04-29T17:36:00.006-06:002009-04-29T18:06:36.126-06:00Not in the blogging mood lately...sorry!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/Sfjq5zL6VLI/AAAAAAAAAhg/N1LUZkiKs0Q/s1600-h/marchapril09+333.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330268437706593458" style="DISPLAY: block;

Lots of things have happened around here but I haven't felt like sharing I guess. We are all doing fine at the Hamblin house. The kids are healthy and busy and Dave is working hard as always so that I can be home with the kids. My health has still been a little up and down. I have good days and bad days and hopefully the good days will continue. In the last couple of months we have had some birthdays: Ellie's in February; Slater's in March; our anniversary in March; and Dave and I had our birthdays this month. I will post pics of the b-day people. I don't have any of myself because my friend took the pics but I will post pics of everyone else. Also, enjoy a few random pics from the las few months! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-9842679308726060012009-04-20T21:30:00.001-06:002009-04-20T21:30:35.387-06:00Blogging and pictures coming soon!!!Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-18667221116344980962009-02-11T08:48:00.003-07:002009-02-11T09:04:39.260-07:00We have a movie star!My Miss Ellie will be a movie star...well, sorta. Right now she is in Park City with the opportunity to be an extra in a movie! She is so thrilled and this is a great opportunity for her. Her good friend Abby was invited to be an extra and there was room for one more girl and Ellie was invited. We got her ready in about 3 hours which was crazy. She had to take all of her winter clothes and needed a few other things for the movie. We got her all packed and loaded and off to Park City she went. She will miss 3 days of school and I am ok with that. What a fun thing for her to do. Little sister Emma was not even jealous...she was happy for her big sister to go and do something fun like this. I will miss Ellie while she is gone but hope she has a wonderful time. She also gets to make lots of money which will be great for her. She really wants to buy a dog. I will post what movie it is later on and when it will be released. I hope she gets in lots of good shots. Maybe they will take notice of her and offer her a million bucks....she would totally be worth that but I think her beauty and spirit is priceless!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SZL0SVSRYgI/AAAAAAAAAfs/qdDb88TzjfY/s1600-h/IMG8725_202.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301568307157099010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SZL0SVSRYgI/AAAAAAAAAfs/qdDb88TzjfY/s320/IMG8725_202.jpg" border="0" /></a> This was her first time singing solo on stage for a ward talent night few years ago.

My kids are so creative. We don't have TV so the kids find all kinds of fun and crazy things to do. Why do we not have TV? For one thing, I will not pay for cable. There is so much junk on TV these days that I don't want it in my house and don't want to waste my money. I have no interest in all of the sit coms and everything else that is on. I guess I feel like I waste my time when I watch TV. So in turn I waste my time on FaceBook! My husband on the other hand would love to have cable so he could watch his BYU Cougars. Anyway, back to the kids. They love to make tails and pretend to be different animals. Sometimes I have found them all decked out with tails, ears, noses, paws, etc....all made out of paper. This first picture is of Slater. He was so proud of a tail he made for himself. It is so small that you can't even see it. Silly boy.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGUWeYDFI/AAAAAAAAAfM/vQeoKQVAbZc/s1600-h/jan09+274.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298984489510767698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGUWeYDFI/AAAAAAAAAfM/vQeoKQVAbZc/s320/jan09+274.jpg" border="0" /></a> The girls have a few dress up clothes and it is fun to see what combinations they come up with.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBegXPQI/AAAAAAAAAfE/JlQ1-ieX8tM/s1600-h/jan09+108.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298984165249072386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBegXPQI/AAAAAAAAAfE/JlQ1-ieX8tM/s320/jan09+108.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBWryGXI/AAAAAAAAAe8/Zd04GmJBzPQ/s1600-h/jan09+107.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298984163149486450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBWryGXI/AAAAAAAAAe8/Zd04GmJBzPQ/s320/jan09+107.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBSzAECI/AAAAAAAAAe0/GYJ03ja7Mz4/s1600-h/jan09+105.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298984162106019874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBSzAECI/AAAAAAAAAe0/GYJ03ja7Mz4/s320/jan09+105.jpg" border="0" /></a>This is GG Smith. She is my dear Grandma....one of my hero's! I love her so much and it was fun to visit with her a few weeks back. She lives in Utah and doesn't get to see family too often.

She is 90 something and seems ageless. We love her. I love this picture with all of my kids and her. She is a great lady and is a spunky one. She also lives in Utah and we were able to visit her too!<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBJ64GNI/AAAAAAAAAek/lYTeG48wuxE/s1600-h/jan09+052.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298984159723133138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnGBJ64GNI/AAAAAAAAAek/lYTeG48wuxE/s320/jan09+052.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-20130370374673569562009-02-04T09:37:00.001-07:002009-02-04T09:41:54.788-07:00Still cute after the hair cut!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnFAA0I9CI/AAAAAAAAAec/UGX43a_mHfE/s1600-h/jan09+117.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298983040587461666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnFAA0I9CI/AAAAAAAAAec/UGX43a_mHfE/s320/jan09+117.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnE_1I73kI/AAAAAAAAAeU/DkAHCLXGSEY/s1600-h/jan09+167.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298983037453459010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnE_1I73kI/AAAAAAAAAeU/DkAHCLXGSEY/s320/jan09+167.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnE_9R1-OI/AAAAAAAAAeM/P7s062xituY/s1600-h/jan09+199.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298983039638304994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnE_9R1-OI/AAAAAAAAAeM/P7s062xituY/s320/jan09+199.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnE_3NAW_I/AAAAAAAAAeE/uYohrjoT37E/s1600-h/jan09+253.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298983038007401458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnE_3NAW_I/AAAAAAAAAeE/uYohrjoT37E/s320/jan09+253.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-45888183397519364982009-02-04T09:17:00.003-07:002009-02-04T09:28:04.910-07:00Two inches.....gone!This is what I looked like before my mom got to me.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWhqPeZI/AAAAAAAAAd8/UEmuujitV2A/s1600-h/jan09+079.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298977929803299218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWhqPeZI/AAAAAAAAAd8/UEmuujitV2A/s320/jan09+079.jpg" border="0" /></a> If my mom wanted to she could put little pigtails in.....not!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWsM71YI/AAAAAAAAAd0/UJkNGt0Llig/s1600-h/jan09+082.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298977932633167234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWsM71YI/AAAAAAAAAd0/UJkNGt0Llig/s320/jan09+082.jpg" border="0" /></a> Mom, whatcha doin to my hair?<br /><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWYkjkQI/AAAAAAAAAds/-Ddn_kkPnEM/s1600-h/jan09+083.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298977927363531010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWYkjkQI/AAAAAAAAAds/-Ddn_kkPnEM/s320/jan09+083.jpg" border="0" /></a> Now I look like my big brother!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWbYd2wI/AAAAAAAAAdk/irT1Xmsc6jI/s1600-h/jan09+096.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298977928118131458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_B0om9DiClmw/SYnAWbYd2wI/AAAAAAAAAdk/irT1Xmsc6jI/s320/jan09+096.jpg" border="0" /></a> Ta da!

My girls said, "What? She is your age and collects those? Cool!" Then Emma says, "You mean she's an old woman like you?" I laughed and laughed. I thought that was one of the funniest things she has ever said. I say it's great that I have a friend who collects those and I guess you are never too old to collect toys.Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163070650221959886.post-63062438345362998032009-01-12T18:20:00.004-07:002009-01-12T18:30:13.163-07:00Bald is beautiful!Today was the day that we cut little Hunter's hair. His head of hair has been out of control since day one. I have loved his hair so much! He has gotten a lot of attention. In fact, when I was walking down the isle in sacrament yesterday holding Hunter a lady told me later that as I walked with him his hair would kind of "bounce in the wind" with ever step. Dave was home today and we pulled out the clippers and buzzed it all off! I almost cried as I did it but survived! He looks like such a big boy now and it is totally blond instead of all the dark stuff he was born with. A very bitter sweet day. I will post pictures later. Need to go and make dinner for the kids and hopefully get a batch of bread made tonight. Ta ta! <br /><br />P.S. I called my dad and had him guess who was a bald boy thinking he would guess Hunter and I think jokingly he said, "hm, let me guess...Dave?" Ha ha ha, I told Dave and I don't think he thought it was that funny. Dad really was teasing and it gave me a good laugh!!!!Andrea (Annie)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02783427763645391825noreply@blogger.com4
