Girls' Night Out

...at The Melting Pot!

Do You See The Resemblance?

A couple of days after the 4th of July, I found these cute little Americana rag dolls at Marshall's on clearance for $5. I thought they'd look great in our Americana family room, so I snatched them up.

Logan really likes them and, for some reason, calls them "the girls." He is constantly taking them down and playing with them even though I tell him that they are just for decoration and not to play with.
A couple of days ago, I was putting the dolls back up on the mantel for the millionth time, when Andrew said, "Did you buy those dolls because they look like you and your Mommy?"
I was a little confused. "What?"
"Didn't you notice they look just like you and Nana?!"

HaHaHa! They really do! Do you see the resemblance?

I Honor of "Breaking Dawn's" Release

I was looking to change the background to our blog when I came across this background. "Breaking Dawn" will be released in just a few hours. I am very excited, as are Summer, Jenny, Danny and Brooke. Summer will have the book two hours before the rest of us. No fair!

So in honor of Breaking Dawn's release I chose this background (I will change the background as soon as all of the above have finished the book)

Andrew's Birth

Andrew Bryan Anderson was born on January 4th, 2002. He weighted 6lbs. 20 oz. and was 20 inches long. He was born in Ogden, Utah.

Andrew is our first grandson. It was a great experience being able to see Andrew be born. While Summer was in labor, I looked over at her, and instead of seeing a grown woman I saw a little girl. It was so strange to think how everything had come to a full circle. Me having her, raising her, she getting married and then watching her deliver her first baby. Wow! Life is full of so many blessing!

Summer had a pretty easy labor and delivery. Bryan was in worse shape than Summer was. He had been admitted to the hospital a few hours before Summer for extreme dehydration and vomiting. So he spent a lot of Summer's labor in the bathroom. We had to call him out of the bathroom so that he could see see Andrew being born. But he was a real trooper. Luckily it didn't last to long, and no one else got his bug.

Logan's Birth

Logan Mac Anderson was born on April 20, 2005. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He weighted 7lbs. 7 oz. and was 21 inches long.

Bryan, his mom Nancy, and I were able to watch Logan be born. Watching the birth of a baby is always an amazing experience. It is such a blessing to have babies come into this world without any problems. It is truly amazing!

I brought Andrew up to the hospital to see Summer and Logan. But he was more interested in playing with the rubber glove balloon, than seeing Logan.

Hannah's Birth

Hannah Lee Anderson was born on February 14th, 2008, Valentine's Day (she has a cute little heart shaped birth mark on one of her legs). She was born in Ohio. She weighted 7lbs 1 oz, and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has lots of dark hair and dark eyes. Hannah was born with some breathing problems, they called it a type of pneumonia. She had to stay in the hospital for about 8 days.

Bryan took me, Andrew and Logan up to the hospital to see Summer and Hannah.
Summer really wanted one of these giant cups. At first she didn't think that she was going to get one, but they finally brought her one! I am sure Summer will be thrilled to have this picture posted. Hey, it's history! Right?
Hannah was in the NICU so the boys couldn't see her. But they had fun playing in Summer's room watching TV, playing with the bed, and eating Valentine's treats. Summer and Bryan were able to stay at the hospital with Hannah. That was a real blessing. I was at their home with Andrew and Logan. It was a hard week for us all. Hannah was given a blessing and she began to improve.

Hannah came home while Andrew was still at school. So that gave Logan some much needed one on one with Summer, Bryan and Hannah. Kitty wanted to see Hannah too.

When Andrew came home from school he wasn't to interested in Hannah. But later on that night he held her. Hannah has her brothers wrapped around her tiny fingers.
