Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day!! I want to tell everyone why I think my mom is so great! First off, now that I'm a mom, I can't imagine how anyone can have three of four kids yet alone eight kids!! (She even had us all natural, without any drugs!!) She got married right out of high school and started having us, even though she was the valedictorian of her class and had a full ride scholarship to any Wyoming school! I remember when we were younger dad was busy with his construction business, on the school board and bishop all at once!! I don't know how mom didn't have a mental breakdown trying to handle all of us; me ex specially cause I was (probably still am) such a brat! She was always home when we got home from school, usually with homemade (healthy) cookies or something good! I remember growing up I was so scared at night, well OK in the day also, and I would lay in my bed in the middle of the night and yell "mom" cause I was too scared to go to her room, so she would come to mine. She was a 24/7 taxi to us all until Travis could start driving (even then I would still opt to have her give me a ride cause he was such a crazy driver!) I could go on and on about all the many things she did for us all! Now that we are all grown up she continues to help us all out! She came and stayed with me when we were building our house, she painted, cleaned windows, helped me move and even cleaned my dirty rental. Then she came and stayed with me for about two weeks when I had Thayne. Recently she was in Utah helping Tiff move and in Colorado visiting Trav all in one week! She is so dedicated to the church with a strong testimony and is willing to accept any calling. I think one of her great qualities is unconditional love for everyone even when they don't show it back! I am so glad I have such a great mom and wonderful example. I know no one is perfect, but she is close! Here is a cute picture of my mom and dad, he gets a shout out for being a bachelor when she's always gone!


This is Codys cute Mom!

Update

I thought I would put on some wedding pictures...we have been married two years on the 8th!! I can't believe it!! Baby Thayne as Peyton would say......We can't believe how much he has changed! This is the cute birth announcement Tina made for me!! Tina has found a new hobby of taking pictures and making everything you could imagine and we love it!! But notice in this picture he has no eyebrows.....He woke up one morning with eyebrows and Cody thought I was putting makeup on them to make them darker.... Cody is totally in love with his baby boy!! He gets up in the night and brings him to me to nurse and then I can hear them out in the living room playing...that's a habit we need to break; no playing in the middle of the night!!
Tina took the rest of these pictures....He's not quite three months, but close enough! Notice the eyebrows!!

This is the cute snowsuit Jamie gave him!! Thanks Sorry it took so long to update...I still haven't bought a new computer so Tina has been helping me do it. It was crazy when we had Thayne...the second night in the hospital Cody got sick and thougt it was from the hospital meatloaf..He finally listened to me and went to the emergency room and had his appendix out...We were both patients in the hospital at the same time! I went home and he had to stay. Thanks to mom-on-wheels- she came to the rescue and saved me. Cody was still sick and had an infected blood clot (so they think) and had to go back to the emergency room and they took him to Ogden. I was a little stressed not knowing what was going to happen and a two week old I barely knew how to take care of! I think everything is back to normal!! Thanks to everyone who helped us out!! And for all the cute baby stuff!!

Our New House

Here are pictures of our new house! I just realized that I don't have any pictures of the outside of our house but here is a peek at the inside of our sticks for all those that have been anxious to see it. Come visit us anytime!

Cody Thayne Anderson

Baby Thayne was born on Saturday, January 12, 2008 at Logan Regional Hospital. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and is 20 inches. Here is a sneak peek for all of you....Tracy can post more pictures when she gets home and settled. He is such a little cutie pie!

This is less than a half hour after he was born. This was our very first look at little Thayne. We were all waiting in the waiting room and Cody came up to the window in the nursery and showed us what he looked like through the window. The glass was thick and we were trying to ask Cody all the details about how much he weighed and how Tracy was.....you should have seen our sign language because we couldn't hear each other!!! Cody is such a proud daddy and so cute with him. (Sorry about the bright glare, as I said it was taken through the window).

Here is the proud mommy. She is going to be such a good mother! Tracy and the baby are doing well.

Sweet Thayne....

Dressed in his first outfit. Isn't he the sweetest thing ever?
