THE NEW JOSH

Can you pick out what is diffrent about Josh? Look close!!!

THATS RIGHT, the braces are off. Oh my Gosh is this a handsome guy or what? OK, i am the mom but that was money well spent!!

Quick Funny Story, The minute he got them off, he took a picture of him self with his phone, and sent it to every girl at West View High School. (Not a shy guy at all) with in seconds the thing went crazy, beeping off the hook. My brother in law who is our Ortho, was trying to finish up and laughing at the same time at the flood of texts that kept coming in. I am going to be fighting off the ladies real soon I am afraid.

Christmas Card Pict's

How completly painless!!!!

It seems like every year christmas card pictures are torture!! Someone gets dirty, Someone is crying (Abby). So with in 5 minutes we were done. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all my Heavenly Father has blessed me with in my life. Truly, I have an wonderful Husband and father, great children, and an awesome extended family and friends.

This year we divided our day with my family and his. Of course the food was fabulous as always, and we really enjoyed our day.

This is how the girls ended it!!!

MAGIC NUMBER 4!!

This is Abby's fourth birthday on the 7th. She thinks it is the best birthday of all!! I am sure i thought four was the best also. We had a combined birthday sleepover with Aspen this year, Abby couldnt wait until her real birthday to celebrate so why not. Hannah, Amanda, Hudson, Sydney, Makenna, Breckyn in spirit can for the big night. They had so much fun until 2am!!! That is when my fun ended and they finally crashed. Of course Abby asked for another "Baby", and skinny jeans!! (Do you think she listens to her older sisters?) But she sure does look cute in them. I'm sure everyone feel the same about their youngest, but I love her more than anything heavenly father was sure right when he didnt give up on the promptings to get her here. What a Blessing!!!

HALLOWEEN FUN

Happy Halloween!! We had such a fun night this year. The Andrus' has their annual party and Paul & Diana's house. We has chili & hotdogs, nacho's and lots for dessert even before trick or treating!! Lots of our family and friends joined us to make it alot of fun. After dark, all the kids loaded up on the hay trailer for a trick or treating hay ride to all the neighbors! Boy were they generous with the candy, the weather was perfect, no jackets needed this year.

Look who's 42

Steve has also grown a little older and wiser and grayer tooo!!HAHAHA I sure hope it was the calling and not me that made that happen. I decided to surprise Steve with an old fashion dinner. I cooked bbq ribs in dutch ovens and potatoes and bacon!! It was so yummy! Hope I didnt clog anything with all that grease. Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and father we love you!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE PUMPKIN

I cant believe Aspen is NINE years old. I really can remember the day I got the Relief Society newsletter that welcomed a new little pumpkin to the Andrus home. She was soooo cute with the cutiest chubby cheeks. Really she was 9.1oz with huge cheeks. Just like a pumpkin. Boy did she have us fooled with that weight. Im not sure she weights much more than that now!! Aspen has the greatest personality, bubbly and outgoing and going she never stops doing gymnastics even though she hasnt taken class for about a year, she truly loves it. She also is such a book worm, recently at parent teach conf. her teacher said "you have truly done a fabulous job raising this little girl, not much more you could have done." I am blessed everyday by her presents in our home. I love you sweetheart, Happy Birthday.
