Anderson Family Craziness

Every weekend for the past couple months we have spent outside moving rock and dirt.    We also leveled out ground to prepare for a yard upgrade.  On October 27th we were finally able to pour concrete for a driveway up the side of our house.  This past weekend we tried to get our gates up, but it took a lot longer than we thought.  Our house is now the cool house and all the kids from the area are riding their bikes and scooters up and down the new driveway.  It's kind of crazy!

October 18th and 19th was Fall Break.  Branden took both days off to be able to head up to Sevier County to visit our family members.  The work in the yard took all day Thursday and Friday.  We left here at 8:30 pm Friday night.  We had a few projects to do at the rental house and we thought we'd be done in a few hours.  It took a lot longer than we thought it would.  We spent most of Saturday over getting things done.  At 4 pm Braxten and I went with my brother, sister, and their families to the area pumpkin patch.  We got one big pumpkin, 3 small pumpkins, and a bunch of gourds.  After that we headed to Pizza Hut for dinner.  It was a lot of fun, but I forgot my camera.  I only got one photo with my iPod and can't figure out how to rotate it.

 

 The night of October 27th we had a ward party.  It was a pot luck dinner and talent show.  Braxten had signed up in Primary to play the piano, but their paper wasn't turned in.  They had to go sign up with a member of the Relief Society presidency the night of.  As soon as he learned that he was up there signing us up to play a duet.  He was excited!  He played his part perfectly.  I'm so proud of him.  A lot of people told him how well he'd done.  He was so proud of himself.  He's funny because he wants to challenge himself and move forward, but he's got a lot to learn before he gets to that step.

When we're in St. George we try to get as much done as possible.  One day we were getting our grocery shopping and a few other things done.  I knew Old Navy was having a sale on Maternity clothes and I needed a few things.  I talked my guys into stopping there.  It was fire safety day so they entertained themselves while I was waiting in line to check out.
