What Do You Think?

Yesterday Rachel Anderson Fawcett sent me a Facebook message (for all of you out there NOT on FB you should totally join! I know it's the big craze and lots of people don't want to jump on the band wagon of something that gets so much hype, but it really is fun and a great way to reconnect--if you want to!) about the possibility of a 15 year class reunion next year. At the 10 year, I was involuntarily put in charge of the 20 and I've had that in the back of my mind for future reference. I was/am okay with that. Now, one Mr. Jeff Olson has brought up the possibility of a 15 year reunion to one Mrs. Rachel Fawcett and she got in touch with me. Now, I'm getting in touch with all of you! What are your thoughts? Would you rather wait until it's time for the 20 or are you dying to meet and greet all of us at a 15 (which would be next May, I presume)? Please let me know either here or on FB what your thoughts are so we can start thinking ahead to next May. Here's the deal though, if I end up putting together a 15, we are FOR SURE voting someone else to be in charge of the 20, or someone else can do the 15 and I'll stick with the 20.

Thanks!

Just an FYI.....

Tons of our classmates are on Facebook, if you haven't noticed. It's another great way to keep up with everyone. So if you don't have an account yet - think about it!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I just want to wish everyone Happy Holidays. I hope that you all have a wonderful safe Holiday season. This is a picture of my little family at my daughter's school program for Veteran's Day

Layout

I just want to give props to Laura (Cook) Nicholson on the layout of the class blog. She did a great job!

Thank you Laura.

Home at Last!

Matt is home from Iraq! It has been a long 15 months for our family and we are glad to be together again!

A First For Me

Well, I'm sure many of you have done far more, but I have recently starting running and just completed my first 10k! I was slower than tar and came in like 178th out of 193! But I was pretty proud of myself for not stopping even once. I'm trying to work on speed now...maybe a half marathon in the spring? There's nothing like running and sweating to make a great picture...ugh.

Did anyone ever notice?

So I was flipping through the channels the other night and Back to the Future III (I think, the one where he goes to the Old West) was on. Well, I guess it's shortly after Marty's arrival in town at the big town gathering celebrating the clock, right before it shows ZZ Top (another thing I never noticed) and there is music playing - does anyone know what the melody was?? It's to the same tune as the Manti High school song! Wow!! Who knew? I sure didn't ever notice but I thought it was kinda funny so I'm sharing my pointless information with the rest of you.

You are welcome! ;)

Music Memories

If you'd like, leave a comment about any song you remember from things such as 8th grade high school recognition, our graduation song, etc. and I'll add it to the music. I have apparently blocked all of that out cause I can't seem to remember!!

I added electric slide cause I remember having to learn that (along with the Chicken Dance)! Thanks Mrs. Reid - that was awesome.

THANK You!

.... GO UTES!!! Football seasons here!

LeAnn's Update

Hi everyone!  This is a great way to catch up on old classmates!  I love seeing the pictures of pets and children and what everyone is doing these days.

We're living in Norfolk, Virginia, right now.  It's such a long way from home but we are really enjoying it here and making lots of new friends.  We moved here in December after a short stint in Manti (for the kids and me) while my husband was at boot camp and tech school with the Navy.  I kind of feel like we got on the boat (~wink wink~) a little late but he's working hard and moving his way up fairly quickly.

Here's a picture of our 9 year old Tyler.  He played soccer this spring and keeps busy with Cub Scouts (we're his den leaders).  He'll be heading off to 4th grade in just a few weeks.

This is a picture of Colin (2 1/2) and our baby Kirsten.  She's going on 5 months old now.  We waited a long time for our little Colin to join our family so we were quite shocked to find out that I was expecting Kirsten after not even trying!  SURPRISE!

I get to stay home with the kiddos and love it!  I used to do lots of things like scrapbooking and cardmaking but who has the time these days?  I'm up to my elbows in diapers and Hot Wheels.

Well summer is almost over and we thought that we might post since we have been slackers since February. Everybody is doing well. Savannah is getting more cute and fiesty everyday. I would be fiesty too if my teeth were breaking through. :) Abbey and Annie love the outdoors and would spend every minute outside if they had the chance. Nicole has continued to be the great mom and supportive wife that she is. I am just finishing school which hopefully will be done with my Masters in Education with emphasis in Administration by next summer.

We have been pretty busy with baby blessings, family reunions, camping, and holidays this summer. It seems like I get more of a break during the school year. I wish we could have made it up to the Scandanavian Festival this year. Everytime I read Rachel's post about the finger lickin' turkey my mouth waters. Anyhoo, I hope that everyone has had a great summer and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Come and visit my blogspot

Hello everyone. I hope that you are all having a wonderful summer. I have been working hard at learning how to blog and I would like to invite you to visit my site and see what my family is up to lately. http://cnfawcettfam.blogspot.com
I have had it pivate until now but I think that it will be ok to make it public since most of my family and friends have theirs that way. So come visit and let me know what you think.
Enjoy your summer!

Blast From the Past

Here we are 13 years ago! YIKES!

And Thus it Begins

How lame of me to say, this is my very first time posting a blog....ever. But, here goes. I am super excited that so many people are using this, I am loving reading about all y'all. (Sorry, I guess people in Utah aren't allowed to say y'all...)

Quick update on me, I work from HOME now! Yippee! I have been self-employed, processing mortgages for the past two years, but just moved my office home 2 weeks ago and I am LOVING it. The puppy appreciates not having to stay in her kennel all day as well (Mountain Jane)

Jeffrey travels for work but when he's home he's having a lot of fun with his on-the-side job, promoting and doing book signings for his book (check it out at seeyououtthere.com) The photo on that website was just the beginning of his long hair and beard phase. It got a lot....bigger....from there. He definitely looked like a mountain man. Gratefully (on my part) he got called to be the mission prep teacher and had to shave it all off!

The picture of us is from right before we headed down the Grand Canyon in February... 3 days later when we climbed back out, we weren't quite so cute! It was 15 degrees that AM and there was snow on the trail for 3 miles - but it was a great trip. We went with my dad and Dave, my brother.

This picture of Jane is from an overnight backpacking trip to Blind Lake in the Boulder Mountains just a couple of weeks ago. We hit the lake right at ice off, which apparently is great for those of us who fish (not me).

Who Remembers This?

I don't know how many of you that read this blog actually came to our 10 year reunion, but I was going through pictures on my computer and thought this one should be somewhere on our blog, so here it is!

Sanpete BBQ Turkey

Hey everyone that comes to Ephraim this weekend come say hi to me. I will be cooking BBQ turkey as usual with my (entire) Anderson family. You can't miss us just follow the smoke and the long lines. It's finger lick'n good! We have been doing this for almost 20 years now. I am looking forward to being there since I missed it last year. So if you're in town come say hi on Saturday. (Oh and if you want turkey come by right after the parade before the line gets big!)

Scandinavian Festivities!!

So, just curious.... is anyone heading down to Ephraim for the big Scandinavian Festival? I'm not sure if we are at this point but it's always a good time and who doesn't love the Anderson Family bbq turkey???

Hey did I get this right?

Hi everyone! I don't know if this will work. I am not very good at blogging. But I am willing to learn. So cool to see how you all are doing. So many cute kids, I can't beleive it. Well I have four kids of my own, Katherine, Abbigale, Madelyn, and Thomas (who was born Jan 5 2008). We are doing well. We just moved to Richfield, Utah from Las Vegas. Woah culture change. But I am loving it. We live right by one of the elementary schools so my girls are always over there playing on the toys. My baby boy is growing too fast. He is almost 4 months old. My husband is a civil engineer for Jones and DeMille engineering, and I am a stay at home mom. This is a great idea, it is nice to see how you all are doing!
Later

A Surprise Visit

Matt came home for his 18 days leave last month. It was a great surprise for the boys. We had a great time being together as a family. We vacationed down to Zion's but mostly just enjoyed everyday life together. He is half way done with his deployment now, only seven months to go, hooray!
