Baby Demi's Baby Blessing



This past weekend, Jared and Heather blessed our baby Demi in, Heather's mom and dad's ward. Not only did they name baby Demi but Heather's brother Brady and his wife Jill named their new daughter Hannah also.
Jared named our little angel, Demi Mae Anderson. She was blessed in her big sister Elle's blessing dress. Demi looked so Beautiful. She did so great up there while Jared gave her a very special blessing.
After the blessing, we all headed out to the Middle school for a luncheon. They served BBQ'ed chicken, (Daren's favorite food) funeral potato's, and many salads. It tasted so GOOD! Good job all of you who helped make the food!
All the grand kids were able to spend some time together playing with each other. And sweet little Demi was very much kissed and held by all! She had many aunts,uncles, cousins, & friends to help share this very exciting day with her and her family.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter Everyone!

We just got done having our annual Easter Party at Grandpa & Grandma Anderson's House. We had such a Great Time, even though it was very short and Cheryl and the kids couldn't come. (We sure missed you guys, NEXT YEAR for sure!) We ate some really good ham and chicken for our lunch, and Grandma Sherrie made you DELICIOUS Baked Beans. Grandma Glade brought her famous potato salad, I brought a summer salad and Heather brought her famous chocolate sheet cake. It was SO GOOD!!! We all decided the first spring lunch, has to be the VERY Best!! After eating, the Easter Bunny had stopped off and gave the kids an Easter Egg Hunt! It was so fun.

Here are some fun pictures of everyone on the HUNT! Here is a small video of a saying Elle told her mom about "Grandpa Johnny." It was so cute that I knew we needed to post it on the blog! Its Grandma Sherrie telling Grandpa Johnny.







Here is some fun pictures that we got after the "Hunt" was over!

Here is Tazj with his Pinwheel Grandpa and Grandma Anderson gave all the kids. He thought it was the neatest thing EVER! How it turned in the wind!

Here is Grandma Sherrie with our newest addition, Little Demi. She is growing so fast, she is so much fun. Isn't she So CUTE with her flower bow?



Here is Rhett and Tazj looking for eggs in the pine tree in front. Tazj was not very happy there was "NO" egg up there for them.

Family Catch-up

Well, it has been a while since ANYONE put something on the family blog, so I thought I would put something.
Well, for mom and dad they are going full swing in taxes. Us kids don't usually see much of them during this 3 1/2 month working process. Usually the only way to talk to either of them is to call them at the house then dad usually says, "just call through" tax code to us kids that he is with a client, call back and mom will answer the phone. The one thing about living close to the house is that I can look out the window to make sure he is telling the truth, and not just wanting to NOT talk to me, huh dad? I know though with me, I am ALWAYS glad to get this time of year over, so we can go on rides or work on yards together and actually see my dad and mom!
Poor Jared, is just the Coach of the Year, and more than that Heather should be named Wife of the Year. This poor family not only just had a brand new baby, but Jared went from girls basketball straight to boys baseball without even a one day break!! Heather told me, she feels like she hasn't talked or see him for months! Their four children are growing like weeds. Little Demi, is smiling and cooing at people, Elle turned the "big 5" years old last month, Shea is thrilled baseball has started and cute Avery is reading books! We love them all so much!
As for Daren and myself, well the last few weeks we have been working hard to get our basement finished. We started it, three weeks ago, and we are ready to paint hopefully tomorrow or Monday. I am so EXCITED to have more room. Daren has worked so hard each night after work and long days on Saturdays and Sunday. When he puts his mind to something, he gets the project DONE!! That's what I love so much about him. Our three boys are keeping us all a hopping and I am not even kidding. I think the BIGGEST news for our two boys is that baseball should be starting up here in the next few weeks. They BOTH are so excited and anxious to get those bats a CRACKIN'. I am really excited cause they are on the same team this year, and get to play with each other. It will be so FUN! Little Tazj is starting to really say alot of words and phrases. I think my favorite one he is saying right now is, "Woooh, that was close" and he wipes his forehead as he is saying it. It is the funniest thing ever to watch!
Blair is keeping busy over at the Merc. It has been a slow winter season at the Merc, but it is starting to really pick up now that the weather is showing signs of spring. He is also busy going from ballgame to ballgame watching Jared's baseball team. I think he is their Biggest Fan! He also, keeps himself busy beating Rhetter in pool tournaments over at the Merc!!
Rhett and Michelle are keeping busy trying to get school finished. Rhett is just finishing up his student teaching at Gunnison Elementary and hoping there will be a job somewhere for him when he is done! Michelle is just finishing up her pre-requisites in dental hygiene. She hopes she will be able to get in the Provo program sometime next year. Their little dog Wrigley is growing so fast too.
Well, that should get you all caught up in the life of Anderson Clan for now.
We ALL are so ready for this summer and to get some camping in HOPEFULLY! We are very excited for the ANDERSON FAMILY REUNION! We hope you all have a GREAT EASTER!
