A Snowy Day!!!!!

It It happened! The cold, snowy weather that everyone has warned us about. October 11, 2008, we received 3" of snow. We woke up on Sunday and had a foot. Wow! The kids tried out their snow suits and the sleds and pulled each other around on the four wheeler. The cold didn't slow down these St. George natives.:)

Toree's First Haircut

Finally the day has come and Toree has enough hair to have a haircut. Yeah!!! Oct 2, 2008.

Stacey the Ladybug

Toree has found an new facination for ladybugs. She found one and named it Stacey. Oh how she loved Stacey. We hauled her around town with us for a couple of days and she slept next to Toree on her paper plate and we fed her too. Despite all of our efforts Stacy didn't make it.:(

Boy did we have a sad three year old on our hands.

First Day of School

Hey everyone! Just an update on the Andersens. School started for the kids on Sept 2. The day right after Labor Day, so they get a really long summer.:)

Lainee is now in 1st grade. She is not very excited to be in school all day.

Cole is now in 4th grade. He is loving school in Pinedale.

Although the first day he came home and said, "Mom, I thought you said Pinedale was a cowboy town. I was the only one wearing wranglers to school."

The first week seemed to go well until Cole broke the news to me that we needed to do something about Lainee. All she does is BAWL! All of the way to school and back and at recess. Well that broke my heart. I asked Lainee what the deal was, and she said that school was so long and that she missed me. How sweet! We had to give her a rock to put in her pocket and whenever she missed me or got too tired she would rub it. It miraculously healed her. Now she is being tough and not crying anymore. Thank Goodness!!!
