WeeZer ConCErt

The WEEZER Concert was on October 7th 2008. Cutie Jeffrey was nice enough to invite all of us Frandsen's to come and got tickets sometime in september. I was really excited to go especially since the last one I was excluded. Jeffrey kindly agreed to be the backdrop so we could take a family picture and show mykita what her first concert was.

...never knew devo was really a rock star hu?

Jeff was lOVinG it!

Devn, Abby, and me all super stoked for weezer to start...
Why? you might ask am I making a peace sign...well somewhere in my little brain I thought that would make up for Cody's head. He had some huge medical school test and since the first band totally sucked he left to the hall to study.

just proof that cody did actually watch some of the concert with me!

The rest of our group...jeff, date, paul, christine and christine's fam...

Canning AppleSauce...

Last weekend, I went to Idaho Falls and canned applesauce with my mother. I think it is so fun to be all domestic --plus homemaid applesauce is the BEST!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Here is our baby girl. Cute hu? You can see a big head for all the brains and a well developed four-chambered heart. The Dr said that everything looked good and the baby is supposed to be healthy. We still are praying a lot that everything will turn out perfect. So this is the cutie's little foot. This picture was taken a little late --21 seconds earlier the foot was pressed up perfectly against the ...stomach. Anyway, I think she has my feet! ...and my bum!

This is the Place Monument

A few weeks ago... Mom came and visited Cody and I at the University Village and we went up the road only 1/2 a mile to the "This is the place" monument. We have a special place in our hearts for this monument because are super awesome great...something relative we believe was the first to see this valley. (note: see video for the full Anderson account). We had a really good time at the pioneer village. Of course mom loved the old fashioned quilts... and I am excited because I learned how to make rag rugs... and Cody was fascinated by the old carpenter shop... I just think it is fun to see how the pioneers survived. I always wonder if we lost all of our modern technology (and grocery stores) if I would be able to survive? Thus, I love learning how the pioneers did everything. Anyway, our trip was cut short because Mom had to get back to IF but it was pretty awesome. SO if anyone wants to go sometime Cody and I live very close ! :)

WHat does Pearl Jam have to do with Avocados?

Last weekend Jeffrey made some amazing 7 layer dip and as we were about to make guacamole I realized a surprising correlation between his shirt and the avocados.Then Mom and I felt bad we didn't have a shirt either...

dabbling in photography....

I love taking pictures, but unfortunately I am not that good. I was really flattered (and surprised) when my husbands cousin asking me to take her engagement pix. Since I am mostly out of town these days, timing wasn't that great and we had to take them monday afternoon when the lighting really isn't perfect...but after a little photoshopping I am actually thinking these turned out ok...

I am a SECOND Time Marathon finisher!!! woOt woOt

On the bus heading up Ogden canyon... It is an interesting trip because we love heading up hill but when the bus heads down my heart sinks because I know in a few hours I will have to be running uphill...eekk.Paul's ready...warming up by the fire (yes -- we are just a bunch of homeless peeps)STRETCHESsupporting little MareBear...we are SUPERSTARS!

The big crowd is off..a typical marathon outhouse...

This old guy and I swapped cameras so that we could take pictures of each other running. This is on mile 16 right before the throwing up episodes started...
Paul, Cody and I all ran together for 25.2 miles and by that time Paul got frustrated with my throwing up ( i accidently hit him once) and sprint off with out us.
The Frandsen marathon runners! How cool are we?! So I was thinking about it and I think that possibly I am the first frandsen to ever run a marathon. Pretty darn cool if I do so say myself! And even cooler that Paul, Mindy, Cody and I can all run together!

GROSS... i know but this is all part of the adventure. I have about 5 "code browns" on the way home to IF. Cody and I have gotten very good at the pull-over-on-the-side-of-the-highway thing.

In preperation for conference...

I got an email telling me to watch this video and I loved it! I think it is quite the testament of our Savior and the pictures go along with my favorite hymn. I was crying in my office watching it at 11pm and a custodial guy came in...i think he was a little confused :~ I just think this will help bring in the right spirit for conference!
