Office Supplies

Yesterday I took some photos at work.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Two Christmas's ago my sister Lauren and I searched all over for a swedish waffle maker for my mom. Mom wanted Lauren and I to be there when she tried it out so Mom, Dad, Lauren, and baby James came up to visit me. We went out to lunch at Butterburs and then spent the rest of the time making Krumcaka! It was fun and the waffles were a big success! Thanks for a fun day!

New Arrival

Not another photo this time. Sorry about that. I do have some news though. Kelly and I are expecting a baby in mid-June. I am really excited! Anyway, I should have a camera by Christmas!! I am really excited for that too!

New Job

Sorry no photo, but I thought I should make an update on of the things that have been happening. First of all, I was called to be the 2nd councilor in the Young Women's. It has been fun so far and I seem to fit in because all the girls think I am sixteen and a Laurel. And for number two for the past two weeks I have been working a part time job at Great Harvest. It has been fun and Kelly and I have been enjoying the free bread but I just go a job offer at Washington Savings and Loan. Which means more pay and.... I will be much much closer to buying a digital camera!!! Hurrah for me!

Elizabeth's Bridals

On Saturday Kelly and I went down to Salt Lake for Lib's shower and bridals. We also had a big dinner and Family Home Evening with the family on Sunday that was so fun. (Kelly just said "It was fun!") This image was one of my favorite, but there are lots for her to choose from. You are gorgeous Lib!

Elizabeth and Mike

Lib is getting married on the 9th of September! We are so happy for them. We took some engaments and they turned out great!

Baby James Again

Since so many of the photos last time were out of focus (I was getting to close) Lauren and I decided to take some more. He is getting bigger and cuter every day.

Pioneer Day

Kelly and I spent the 24th of July weekend down in Salt Lake. We went to Becca and Jared Belcher's wedding and saw lots of friends. Monday we went to Mirror Lake to have a picnic and canoe. We really enjoyed it and decided that when we can, we will buy a canoe as well.

2nd Day at Yellowstone

Uncle Tom's Trail


View on top of Mammoth

Our second day we went to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and Mammoth. Really hot and lots of walking but I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to go again. Thanks Mom and Dad Anderson.

Devils Thumb

I had never been up to Mammoth. It was interesting and fun to imagine what it would have looked like in it's prime.

1st Day a Yellowstone

We just got back from Yellowstone. We went with Kelly's parents and had a great time! It was really hot at Old Faithful but we got to have some ice cream after it blew. I also got an interview at Wells Fargo. Over the two days we were there we saw all but 6 of the fifty states license plates and 10 different types of animals.

Flying Kites

Dad and Lauren

One of the last thing we did in Oregon was fly kites. It was so much fun to fly kites that actually looked like Mary Poppins kites. One of the kites we fly wasn't balanced so we tied strips of black garbage on the tail and do all sorts of things nun the less we had a great time. I hope we can go back sometime.

Sand

My Uncle Jimmy told me once that I should come take some photos of sand on the beach in San Diego. Maybe this is what he was thinking of ? And maybe not...

Low Tide

It is really fun to go to low tides. The one down side is that we had to get up early but it is well worth it. The Sea Urchins photograph is kind of in fond remembrance of Jessica Whitton. Man, I will miss her.

Portland Chinese Gardens

I particularly like the Chinese garden because we got to learn a little bit more about Chinese culture and style. I didn't know that Chinese people don't like to see the whole view rather they like to see a little bit a time. Also they belief that demons can only walk in strait lines so they have zigzag walk ways so philosopher can think and ponder. I think this last photo looks like wrapping paper.

Oregon Gardens

We stopped by the Oregon Gardens in Silverton. They were very beautiful but ended up making Dad, Kelly, and Lauren sniffle from the pollen.

Crabs

At Newport we went on the ship Discovery, a commical boat that gives tourists the opportunity to go out on the ocean on a crab boat of sorts and look for whales, sea lions and other things. On the way they show you how to fish for crabs. The first photo show my sister Lauren and my brother James holding dead fish to put in the trap. We caught several and played with them. Later in the week we brought one home and ate it. The legs are the best part.

Cape Perpetua

This Cape was named Perpetua because when Capitan Cook was sailing around the west coast they got in a storm and they perpetually came back to this same Cape. I am sure they got really tired of seeing it.

Sea Lions

On our first official day in Oregon we went around to many of the Parks that included the biggest Sea Lion cave in the world. It is normally packed with them. You can't look into it directly unless you are on a boat of course so they built a elevator so you can view them in the cave. They don't allow flash photography and you have to shoot through a changed fence but I kind of like the long exposure. I wish I would have had a tripod....

Hailey

On the 15, the Thursday before we left for Oregon I spent the day with my niece Hailey. She is 5. We had a great time. We had lunch, played clue with some new rules that I didn't know, played on PBS kids online, put make-up on each other (as you see in the first photo) and swung on the tire swing. I get sick on them so I did the pushing. She got a little sun burnt and cried when she play anymore.
