Blaize is 4 months old and loves to laugh!

Here is the wings haircut requested by Connor. If you want an appoitment give me a call!

Blaize in his best suit!

Blaize was blessed July 6th. We think he looks very wise in this shot. Grandma and Grandpa Anderson think he resembles Spencer W. Kimball. ian, blaize, corryn, chynna, and connor

Smiley litle guy!

We captured some of Blaize's smiles for you all to see! He's such a funny little boy. We hope you can all come to his baby blessing on July 6th.

Baby Blaize growing and changing!

Blaize is almost 2 months old now. He eats and sleeps very well (sometimes through the night!). He is about 10 lbs. He smiles a few times a day, and if he is in the very right mood, he even will laugh. I am enjoying him so much. He has been so fun for me. The rest of the family enjoys him too, of course! Ian and Blaize at thetop and here he is with Grandma Allen.

New Trampoline!

Just in time for school to let out, we got our trampoline! The kids have spent hours jumping and flipping. It has been our favorite toy. The kids saved up their money for about 6 months and Shaine and I just pitched in a little. We were really proud of their efforts to save.

Anderson boys at the SHAC triathlon

Shaine and Connor and Ian completed their first triathlon last saturday. They had a good time. My dad and brothers Skye, Shaun, Colin, and my brother-in-law Corbin also did it.

Blaize is Two Weeks Old

Blaize and Chynna

Chynna and Corryn are such sweet big sisters.

They're always ready with the pacifier or to turn on the vibrating mode on his seat!

Finally the pregnancy is over!

Little Blaize Colin Anderson arrived April 8th at in the afternoon. He was 7 lbs. and 19 1/2 inches long. I was able to carry him 39 weeks and go into labor on my own, which was my preference! He has been an absolutey sweet, easy baby. He definately looks like he fits in to our family. He is very blond and reminds us a little of each of the other kids. His brothers and sisters adore him. Thank you to all the friends and family that helped our family survive the bed rest and arrival of little Blaize. He was certainly worth it!

Corryn's 7th Birthday party

Corryn had a half sleep-over (all wore p.j.'s and we played sleep-over party games, but everyone sleeps at their own home). We also made sock puppets and ice cream sundae's. It was wild to put it mildly!

Trick-or-treat

Chynna's birthday party and jack-o-lanterns

Saturday, we had Chynna's princess party. She got dress ups from Shaine and I and she wore some of them to her party. We played ghost, ghost, goblin (aka duck, duck, goose), musical chairs and pin the nose on the witch.

Last week we carved our pumpkins. One is a bat cave and the other a cat in a moon. They are starting to get soft and yucky. We should have waited a few more days.

Cute hair!

I told Corryn that I wished that I had hair as nice as hers, and she said why don't I just go buy the wig that they make out of her hair.

Corryn's haircut

Corryn decided to cut 10 inches off her long, lovely hair and donate it to locks of love for cancer kids. I cut the hair, but then Natalie Marshall shaped it into the cutest A-line! Corryn really likes it. By the way, Shaine's eyes are getting a little better each day, but his vision is still fuzzy and obstructed. Evidently this is normal for the PRK eye surgery.

Chynna

This is Chynna. She is 3, almost 4, and the baby of the family for about 6 more months.

Corryn

This is Corryn. She is six and in the first grade.

Here is how our kids are growing!

Below is a photo of Connor (9) and in 4th grade. To the right is Ian (9) also in his grandma Marshall's 4th grade class. Above is Corryn (6) and in 1st grade, and at the top Chynna (3), our pre-schooler.

We have a blog!

Hey friends and family, We decided to join all of you bloggers by getting our own. It seems like a better idea than always emailing pictures, don't you think, so here we go. Shaine had laser eye surgery yesterday in St. George and is doing very well. He can actually see very good, although his eyes are irritated because he had to have the PRK and it is harder to recover from. I am making him stay home from work today; he wants to go. At the same time Shaine was getting surgery, I was coaching the Panguitch girls cross country team at the state competition at Sugarhouse Park in SLC. We ended up fourth. I felt really good about the girls efforts.


The kids are all doing well. Chynna turns four this month on Halloween. She has put much thought into her party for the last 3 months or so. I hope we don't dissappoint!


I am now in my second trimester of pregnancy and finally feeling better. Not perfect, but better! Love, Anne
