Good times were had by all!

This past weekend we got to spend lots of time with the whole (minus 1 brother-in-law) Anderson clan. My sister Kari and her two boys (Logan and Kodi) flew in from New Jersey last week to spend some time visiting and to go to Disneyland/Calif. Adventures. They went to CA at the beginning of the week with my Mother, and came back in time for my oldest brothers son, Spencer's baptism on Saturday. My brother Kendell and his family, and my sister Lori and her family also came over from California for the baptism, so we were all together for some good times! Among the favored activities that took place were going out to eat (always a treat with that many people), Guitar Hero 3 & Ice Cream at Richard's house, visiting at Grandma's, and of course the Baptism, which was followed by a family photo shoot in front of the church. Unfortunately everyone had to go back to their lives, but it is always so fun when we can all be together! Love and miss you all! Thanks for the good times!

How fun! Although I'm sad that Kari was here and I didn't get to say hi. But I know family time is very important! How is she and the boys? And the rest of the fam?
I can't believe Spencer is already baptized!!! I remember when he was born....seems like just a couple of years ago!!

Everyone is doing really good. The strangest thing to me is that Logan is 10. He is so big and smart. It's amazing how fast they grow. I don't know if you have gone to their blogs from mine, but Kari has some pictures , and Lori has one of Thomas. Did you ever see Thomas before? He is a cutie!

FAMILY PHOTO SHOOT HUH? no comment.

It's pretty funny that you bring it up. After I asked you, I decided to just forget about it, because my SIS wanted to head to the restaurant right after the baptism, so we wouldn't have had time at the church for pictures. She suggested just taking some at the rest. but I was wanting nice picts, not just snap shots. But, after the baptism everyone was sticking around anyways, so we just had someone take some snap shot photos. Nothing like what you would have done I am sure. That is why I asked you in the first place. But I really do think it would have been a little awkward. I know you are over things, but I am not sure about everyone else.

O.k., I just looked at Kari and Lori's blogs, and may I just say WOW!!! Their kids are getting so big! When was it allowed for Logan to be 10 already? And Kodi has super long hair. And Thomas, he is all Anderson!! Very cute little man!

I'm just giving you a hard time. I'm glad you guys got some shots of your family.

Did you still want to try and get together for date night soon?
Let me know. I've sent you a couple e-mails.

Thanks for your words of sympathy on my frustration yesterday!!!
And about date night, I just found out that my Aunt and cousin from Iowa are in town and we're supposed to have dinner together tomorrow....nothing like last min. info!! But next weekend would work better for us now. Sorry if that's inconvenient for me to ask you and then ditch out like that!!!
