Nathan Daniel Anderson!!

Guess what!?!? It's baby central here in my family. I know I just posted that my sister had her baby but...on October 14, 2008 my brother and his wife, Rachel, welcomed their first baby. He is so adorable and looks just like Danny. It's so funny though because I thought he was going to have dark hair...but no...his hair is WHITE!! That's so crazy. He was 9 lbs. Poor Rachel. But he is the cutest little boy I have ever seen in my life...well, next to Jackson of course. My kids are going to have a lot to live up to!!

Anyways, here are some pictures of him. He is SOOO precious.. I went to see them at the hospital and of course I forgot my camera, so here are some from Rachel's page!!!

Rylee!!!!

Yesterday was Rylee's birthday. My baby turned 2!!! I can't believe how big she is and much she has grown in just 2 years. She is at such a fun age!!! Anyways, so for her birthday she spent the night with us and Matt, Steve, and I made her a cake and sang Happy Birthday to her.







She is SO freaking cute!! Then after a sleepless night, thanks to my little angel girl!!!,I did her hair while I was getting ready for work!!





She's so cute....I just cant get over it. I never thought I could love a little girl like I love her..well, she is up there with Madison!!! Matt went to Stephanie's house to get something and she followed him around saying "Me bye-bye Matt and Mama!!!" And when he told her that I wasn't mama i am aunt Cristi...she said "No" and then cried some more and said "Please?" Oh..and she absolutely LOVES swimming. Here entire face lights up when you ask if she wants to go!!!!

Madilyn!!!!

Today is much better than yesterday. I have found lately that I am very depressed. I don't know why and I don't really know how to fix it. I am really lagging in the gratefullness area. I am very thankful right now that I have a place to live. I am grateful for my friends and loved ones. I know that sometimes I don't act very grateful for family...but I know any day at any time that they would walk through fire for me, and I would do the same for them!! I am SOOOO grateful for the knowledge that I have about th church. I know so many people that don't have that...and my heart aches for them, on the other hand I know lots of people that do know and don't care. That don't do anything with the priveledge, and for them, I feel NO pitty.


Well, enough about that. My sister Sara had her baby!! She is SO beautiful!!! She looks just like her big sister, and her brother. Her name is Madilyn Dee Lines! She was born on Saturday September 27, 2008. I am so excited for her!!! I am also really excited for Rachel and Danny to have their little boy soon. I went shopping and bought a couple onsies!!! They are really cute!!!


Here's a picture of my newest, most BEAUTIFUL niece!!!

This one's a LAME one!!!

So...I know. I've been a slacker. I haven't had internet or time to get on and post anything, so this may be boring. Matt still isn't working and it seems like I am ALWAYS working, I feel like even on my day off I am working...oh wait, that's because I do. I always seem to get called in. Anyways, not much is going on here. We are still trying to get things cleared up so that we can move out to Florence in March or April.

On another note...I miss my family. Matt and I are primary teachers and one of my favorite songs is I Love to See the Temple. It has always been one of my favorites, but a couple Sundays ago we were singing and I started crying. I felt really pathetic, but it made me realize that I miss my family. I also miss Matt's family. I know they live really close but it seems like I never get to see them either.

Anyways...so that's all. I will try and update more often!!

What have we been up to?

Well,

Matt and I have not really been up to anything exciting lately. I have just been working like crazy. Working as many hour as I can. Matt on the other hand...hasn't had any luck finding a job. He finally found something that he is SO excited to do. It is called SaladMaster.

In other news, Matt and I decided to stop trying to have a baby. If it happens then we will be so excited, but since it's not...it is too hard for us. It seems at least for me that I have somewhat been happier since making this decision.

Other than that, We have not been up to very much.

All you can do is live tomorrow like there was no yesterday!

I don't even have a title for this post because I think that in order for something to have a title, it should be happy. Well, this isn't going to be an all happy note...so read a little and then stop if you don't want to read what's coming.

So this morning started off really fun. Josh,Aimee,Matt and I all went to the sonoran living show this morning. It was really fun!!! Then...we had some fun in the car because Josh almost killed us...or we couldn't decide where we were going to eat. We ended up eating at Denny's and it was SO fun...Matt embarrased us because he was wearing a really goofy hat. I'm sure Aimee loves us enough that she will post the funny picture. I know it's coming Aimee, so thanks in advance! Then we went over and spent the day helping Aimee and Josh move and clean. It was as fun as it could be for moving.
This is where you should stop reading if you aren't interested in hearing me vent!!

Ok...so please just let me vent. I had a really fun day and then I came home and I feel like my whole life is falling apart right in front of me. I mean, I have a good job and I LOVE it. Honestly, I love what I do...but sometimes I feel like it isn't enough...I need more. I would love to go back to school and get a degree in Interior Design...it's another ambition I have...but I know it will never happen. I just feel like I am missing so much in my life. I have such a desire to have a baby. I know it is old news...but I just can't get over it...I want one SO bad. I must say though that I am REALLY excited, Matt and I finally got a new calling after 2 years of...could have been better service as ward missionaries(please add an emphasis on could have been better because we NEVER did it!!! Hey...I'm only human!) Anyways, our new calling is going to be in the primary...which is like...something I have always wanted to do. I love working with kids...sometimes I get overwhelmed...but I love it. There is one thing that makes me so sad though. Something that only one person knows about and she should know who she is.

Anyways, Thanks to all of you that waited through this!!! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and I will forget about all my problems from today!!

Randomness

So...this is going to be short, but I thought it was really funny and really random. So Matt and his dad were out doing something with his car..and I guess a package came for me. So I was all excited and I opened it...and it was baby formula. My first thought was...is this a cruel joke...cuz it's not funny!!! But then I just had to laugh. So I was telling Matt that it wouldn't be good by the time we had kids. So Matt's dad told me to check for an expiration date...so I did..and when I saw it I told Matt that we better have kids by then. The expiration date is 2011. I am planning on breast feeding, but I figured I would keep it just in case I need it...which hopefully I won't...but you never know. So...I got regular formula and soy formula. Isn't that really random?
