Christmas was so much fun this year! Kelly, Mary, Claire, Nikolas and Jake came to our house on Christmas Eve. We ate yummy food and told the Christmas story. Everyone went to bed early - it was awesome. Christmas Day, I heard movement upstairs at 6:17 AM but no one ventured downstairs until 7:00 AM - on the dot! Zach and Logan each got a basketball, a Wii game and Legos. Hayden got a Wii game, Playmobil knights and a ball. Bailee got a fun toy that blows balls out and she has to put them back in. Everyone got pajamas and Sunday clothes. It was a great Christmas. I love waking up at my own house - sorry grandmas! Everyone played with their toys for a while and then we packed up and drove to Grandma and Grandpa Andrew's house. Everyone in Brian's family was there and it was fun to spend time with them and let all of the boys play. Kallee went through the temple on Saturday - it was awesome. I have never been to the Twin Falls Temple before. It felt like home. A few people that I knew where there and it was nice to see them. We left for home on Monday, but after stopping in Burley, decided to spend the night and play some more. It's nice not to be on a schedule and have a good boss who let Brian have another day off. We got home last night - later than expected but home. It was snowing and the roads weren't great and traffic was slow. What a great Christmas vacation!
Our family was established June 20, 1997. After eleven years, we are still going strong. Brian is an irrigation engineer and works for Hansen, Allen & Luce a small engineering firm out of Midvale. Molly is a domestic engineer and deals with a range of issues at home. Zachary will be in third grade this year. Logan gets to go to kindergarten and just can't wait to get there. Hayden will start preschool in August. Hey, wait.... does anyone know what Molly will be doing with four free hours a week..... I'm sure she'll find something. She found it! Bailee is the newest Andrew Family member! Molly is now filling her day holding her brand new baby girl. Could life get any better?
Brian & Molly
We seem to keep busy just chasing everyone around. It could be Gretal one minute and Hayden the next. We are always on our toes! Brian is the Elder's Quorum secretary and Molly is in the Young Women's presidency. Life really doesn't slow down much. That's good because we wouldn't know what to do if there was nothing to do.
Zachary
Fall 2009
Zach has just grown up this year. I find it fascinating to watch him and listen to everything he thinks of. He is very driven and doesn't give up easily. He is experiencing so many firsts right now. He is the first to buy a suit. He is the first to get baptized. It's hard to be the oldest. Training parents is never an easy job. Zach is doing his best!
Logan
Fall 2009
Logan is a ball of energy. His smile makes me melt and he does get just about everything that he wants. I love to watch as he helps Hayden do things. I think Logan has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Now, don't get me wrong. When he's playing his DS, his heart hardens just a little.
Hayden
Fall 2009
Hayden is no longer the baby of our family. He is a big boy and he will remind you of that every time you look at him! He loves to wrestle and play Wii with his brothers. He is so much fun. He loves his thumb, his blanket and his DS.
Bailee Lynn
Fall 2009
Bailee joined the crew on June 17th. We are so excited to have her here. She's happy and healthy. Her brothers are absolutely in love with her and chances are good, she's going to be spoiled!
Gretal
March 2008
Gretal is our trusty miniature schnauzer. We adopted Gretal last September and she has been a fun addition to our family. She loves to go on long walks in the morning. Her greatest skill is getting out from under Hayden when he "loves" her.
