Swimming Lessons

All 4 kids took swimming lessons in April. Emma & Dallin are already great swimmers thanks to gym class at Lincoln in Argentina. They really enjoy the water and swim like little fish.
Ginger and Annie were a little more hesitant in the water. But by the end of the 2 weeks they were really enjoying the class and happy to put their faces in the water.

Happy Easter 2010

General Conference was on Easter Sunday this year, so we didn't actually go to church but got to watch it at home. The week before the girls got matching dresses and fixed their hair the same to celebrate Easter. I think they are so cute when they let me do this (I know in a few years they won't want to look alike anymore).Yummy, yummy! Easter morning! The kids all got their baskets and began raiding them for candy. We couldn't leave out little brother, so someone plopped him into an Easter basket.

Hyrum at 1 month

This is our little Hyrum. He's about a month old here. He has lots of nicknames (Hy-hy, Himes, Bubu) and we all love him. He is very easy going and waits his turn! He has 3 little mommies (Emma, Ginger & Annie) and always has someone to take care of him or make him smile. He's our little blessing.

Welcome: Hyrum Michael Anderson

We welcomed our new baby boy, Hyrum Michael Anderson, on Monday March 22nd, 2010. He shares his birthday with his Grandpa, Harry Anderson (aka Papa). Everything went well with the delivery and we are so happy he is here. He looks alot like his big brother Dallin.

Our Ballerinas

Annie (3 years old) and Ginger (5 years old) were in a ballet class together last fall. They went 2 nights a week at the local community center and learned the basic steps of ballet. Annie followed along with all the other 3 and 4 year olds, but Ginger, being the oldest, was a leader for the class. Here is their rectial from November of 2009. We were so proud of them!

St. Patty's Day 2010

This is Annie's playgroup. The kids had a Saint Patrick's Day parade with their trikes and bikes. Here she is with her friend Rylee Busse.


Cheese! The kids got to dress up their bikes with balloons and stickers and streamers. Later they had a snack of green rice crispie treats. It was a beautiful day and the kids had fun being together!

Ex-Pat Friends in Argentina

We've been away from Argentina for about 6 months now, but I am thankful for the internet and Facebook so we can keep in touch. Here are some pictures of our friends.

Above: a dinner/party at the Rands' house. These are the women that became good friends of mine during our 2 years in Argentina. (Jaclyn, Angela, Holly, Me, Lisa) I think there were about 17 kids running around the house that day. And the husbands were all in the backyard, grilling and shootin' the bull.

Below: this is the Sunday before we left Argentina. We lived about 4 blocks away from the Argyle Family. They were serving as mission presidents. They were great examples to us and they even let us borrow their daughter to babysit our kiddos!
