Thanks again for the gifts, both from Mom, Dad, Kyle, and Kendall!!

Ry - Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it SNOW!!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!!

Holy Cow!! Talk about a BLIZZARD!! We got dumped on in Cedar City... about 7 inches in one night!! It only took me... um.... 1 1/2 hours to shovel our drive way and sidewalks. Here are some pictures of the "snow-eeg" and some recent pics of Jase & Co.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Ry & Meag

Just wanted to post this. We saw this clip on the news and found it on You Tube. Check it out... it's about 3:45 long... but really interesting.

WE ARE EXCITED THOUGH.
I HAVE BEEN GETTING BACK INTO RUNNING SINCE I HAVE BEEN SICK AND I AM GETTING READY FOR BOSTON TO TAKE DOWN LANCE. AMY STOMACH IS NOT FEELING THAT GREAT EVERYDAY SHE WAKES UP AND I THINK SHE MAY BE USING IT FOR AN EXCUSE TO GET A BACK SCRATCH OUT OF ME AND BREAKFAST AND BED. I MIGHT HAVE TO DO SOME BACKROUND CHECKS.
WE HOPE THE END OF SCHOOOL IS GOING GOOD FOR MOST OF YOU.
REALLY QUICK UPDATE THAT I JUST SHARED WITH RYAN THAT I AM UPSET ABOUT IS BRONCO MENDENHALL, THE HEAD COACH OF THE BYU COUGARS IS THE LEADING CANADATE FOR THE UCLA COACHING JOB.

I hope everyone is getting their Christmas Shopping done!! It's just around the corner... CRAZY!!

Ry - Trip with Dad to Boston!!

This was an awesome trip! We had 2 days out in Boston for my interview at Tufts... so we packed all we could in. We got to see the Bruins Hockey game, Celtics Basketball game, and just walk all over Boston. The weather was freezing... but we threw on all the warm clothes we had and enjoyed every minute of it.

Ry

We've got a new link off to the side. Click on the "Scott & Shellie" link to see pictures of Avery!! She's the cutest!!

NEW UPDATE: I just found out Chris and Rachel & Rick have websites so check there blogs out as well!!

Ry

Kyle & Amy "Dental-fied" our house after hearing the great news!! They wrote the letters out with toothpaste... very creative. I just scoop a little off the poster each morning onto my toothbrush to keep my "pearly whites" clean.

Meag and I are so excited to go to Boston... and are relieved someone actually wanted me!! ha ha. We have been very blessed these past couple weeks... 1st a baby boy, an acceptance to dental school... and lastly, finals are over for the semester... so bring on the holidays!! Thanks everyone for keeping us in your prayers.

love you guys,

Ry

PS Ill post some pictures Dad and I took of us Enjoying Boston soon. We had a blast out there!!

DAD

Ryan CONGATULATIONS, you're offically in !!!!!!

Ry

Thanks Kyle for the post. We just got into Boston and are heading off to bed. Everybody keep your fingers crossed... or say an extra long prayer tonight... I need all the help I can get.

I'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow.

Love ya guys,
Ry

GOOD LUCK TO RYAN

WE WANTED TO WISH RYAN GOOD LUCK THIS THURSDAY AS HE GOES IN FOR HIS INTERVIEW. WE ALL KNOW HE WILL DO GREAT. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS.
....but then i think we all should go out for dinner, those who stay in utah cause we all have to be jealous of ryan and dad going to the celtics game. that should be fun.
well school is ending and i am still not going. you would think with finals coming up i would have some kind of motivation but i just don't have it in me. give me a b-and we will call it even is my motto.
anyways just wanted to say hi to everyone and tell them good luck at the end of the school year and to look forward to christmas. you know where to find us when you need us......bagging french fries.
love kyle

GOOD LUCK TO RYAN

Jase

I don't want to make this the Jase blog so I will try and not post too many pictures of the little guy, but I wanted to get a few up there with his eyes open. He is such a cute little kid. Meagan and I are learning how to become parents... this stuff is tough. It is the coolest thing ever though, I love it.

One more week of school. Dad and I head out to Boston this week. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that I ace my interview out at Tufts

Dental School. After that... and a few reports, tests, and presentations... it'll be time to enjoy the Christmas Season. Wahoo!! I can't wait.

Love you guys,

Ry

Ry

I put up Crystal & Jakes, Amy and Jeff's, Craigs, and Christian & Julie's websites up on the right side of this page. You can click on them to see what they are up to also!!!

More Pictures of Jase!!

All these pictures were taken on Jase's first day of life!!

He is the cutest little kid. We have pictures of all you guys holding him. We'll get them developed and get them to you guys.

Love ya guys and thanks for all the help,

Ry

Ry, Meag... and Jase-a-rooney!!

The day finally came! 6 lbs 13 oz, 19.5 inches tall, born 11/27 at 5.36 p.m., and poopy diapers that will make you run for your life!! Meagan did awesome throughout the entire delivery and labor process. Contractions, shots... even the epideral was nothing. She really handled everything so well and we feel so blessed that everything went smoothly. I'll stop talking because I know its all about the pictures, so here they are:

Kendall- JASE'S FAV AUNT

sorry Nikki and Amy I'm Jase's favorite aunt! Even ask him haha!

the mistro and his wife

we just wanted to say congratulations to the new member of the family, the mighty Jase, who was born at 5:42 p.m. on nov the 27th. welcome to this world and know one day you will come flip burgers for us. we love you

THE MISTRO VANILLA ICESTRO

HI GUYS. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WEEK AT ALL. THE ONLY THING THAT IS EXCITING IS RY AND MEG HAVING THEIR BABY. RYAN AND I HAVE TO READ A 200 PAGE BOOK BY THUR NIGHT AND HAVE A TEST ON IT AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT AND DON'T REALLLY CARE AND THEN WORK IS NOT GOING TO BE FUN CAUSE BRENT HAS HIS WEEK OF VACATION AND HE IS PISSING EVERYONE OFF AT WORK SO IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, I HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT AND THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING BY ANY MEANS.
AMY AND I HAVE BEEN WRAPPING PRESENTS AND WE ALSO BOUGHT OURSELVES THE CRIB FOR BRIELLE. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DECORATING THE ROOM AND GETTING IT READY. WHEN AMY GETS TO WORK FROM HOME, I SOMETIMES STOP AND THINK ABOUT GETTING PREGNET MYSELF, BUT THEN REALITY STRIKES IN AND I REALIZE I WOULD RATHER BE A GARBAGE MAN WORKING 18 HOURS A DAY THAN HAVE A BABY. WOMEN ARE DEFINITLY A LOT STRONGER THEN US WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.
WELL I DO HAVE SOME SENSE OF PRIDE AFTER BYU PULLED THAT OFF AGAINST UTAH AND NOW ARE 19TH IN THE NATION. CHRISTMAS IS ALWAYS THE MOST FUN SEASON AND IT IS ALWAYS SO FUN TO GET STUFF FOR OTHER PEOPLE. OUR FAMILY IS THE BEST AND IT IS SO FUN TO ALWAYS HANG OUT WITH EACHOTHER WHEN WE ALL GET THE CHANCE. HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEK. MOM AND DAD, KEEP UP THE RUNNING AND DON'T STOP CAUSE IT IS TOO HARD TO START BACK UP. RY AND MEG, I PREDICTED SUNDAY BUT NOW I AM SAYING NEXT SUNDAY. (ON THAT DAY, GO FOR A LONG WALK) NIKKI (AND KASEY) QUIT FALLING IN LOVE SO FAST. CHAD, SCHOOL SUCKS, DON'T GO. KENDALL, I BETTER HAVE THE BEST SUPERPOWER IN YOUR STORY. LOVE YOU GUYS
MISTRO OUT

Ry - Happy Thanksgiving!!

Good Luck to all you shoppers this weekend!! I decided to brave the crowds at 4:30 in the morning... who'd of thunk St. George would be up this early?!? I made my way over to the new Staples in town and waited for the mad rush at 6:00. The doors opened and it was a mad scramble over to the cheaper than cheap laptops. Wheww!! I actually got what I was going for. There were some great deals... even a 42" High-Def Flat Screen LCD TV for only $750. I was going to call one of you guys up to see if I should buy it for someone... but I thought no one would be thinking clearly that early in the morning to make a decision like that. Oh well... I got the great price on the laptop.

Our Thanksgiving was great. We ate til our hearts content. Nice job Randy and Beth!! There has also been plenty of football on TV to last us until next year. I'm excited for the Big Game!! I've been wearing BYU stuff all week long. They better beat them this year, although I heard that Max Hall may be injured... ummm... not good!! Thanksgiving morning Randy, Joe, Kyle, and I went golfing. Kyle smoked all of us. As soon as I get home and take a napper, Joe and I are going out into the wilderness to cut down a Christmas Tree. He's got the tree permit and everything... just like old times of chopping one down ourselves.

Now that I think of it, a nap is out of the question. I am over at the house hanging with Roxy and waiting for some tickets to go on sale... ahhhh, the life. Yeah ummm, about Roxy... she managed to get out of the kitchen and has not been able to get back in. I don't know how long she's been roaming the house... but I'm sure the stench after a few days will determine it for us. No access to doggy door = many poops in the house.

That's it for now. Hope all your Thanksgivings went well and that you are still full from yesterday.

Love you guys,
Ry

Kendall

All I can say is "wow! Me and Kyle are the most attractive kids in the family!!!!"

Meagan

Hi Family- Everyone say YA!- for my second post ever!!!! Sorry I'm such a slacker. I'm sure once the baby comes, I'll have more time at home to keep posting. Thanks mom and dad for the fun day in Vegas. I was a little worried about walking around all day, but thanks to The Wheelchair & Co.(Kendall, Kyle, Ryan, and mom) service, I made it through BIG feet and all. We got a good start on shopping and I had a great time. THANKS!! Nikki, since you gave me some ideas and then... bought them...I'm going to need a few more. Chad- we are glad we got to spend sometime with you too! We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving- by the way- Kyle and Amy you guys are more than welcome to bring Brent and come to Thanksgiving with us if you'd like. I know my mom would love that. In the mean time, we'll keep everyone updated on the latest with Jase's arrival and hopefully it comes sooner than later:) Love you guys!

FAMILY

Ry- Jase's Room

Ry- Jase's Room

Ry- Now 5 of 6 Wheew!!

Being that I have 4 of the last 5 blogs on this thing, I am starting to wonder if I am the only guy in the family with time on his hands... huh, that will quickly change when the little guy gets here.

Well, good news for us... we are finally getting hooked up to this new thing called the internet. Yeah, they said I could actually get online at my house and check my emails and stuff... I know it's hard to believe, but I really think the future is here. Welcome to technology. Until then, I will be driving down to SUU to check my emails. I guess I can't complain since the school is a whopping 3 1/2 minutes away.

A lot has happened since the last post. Kyle and Amy found out that they are having a girl. Meagan and I decided on the name Jase Ryan Anderson... and not a minute too late being that she is due 10 days from now. AHH!!! How crazy is that! Also, Kyle and I won the Football Intramural Championship... again. This time it was a blow out... none of those close calls that we've had in the past. Now we're on to basketball with, already a win under our belts. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, I have a dental interview from the loyal Tufts Dental School. I knew someone would want me somewhere. ha ha.

Meagan and I finally finished Jase's room. It looks awesome... which is more than we can say about the rest of the house. We just moved into this place 2 days ago right?? Man time has flown by. Who would have known stepping over boxes for a month and a half could be so much fun??

Anway, I'll get some pictures up for everyone to see the baby's room. Mom, you still need to come see it firsthand.

We'll see you guys soon. We're looking forward to Saturday to do some shopping. Everyone better have their lists ready because whoever Meagan and I get for Christmas may only get one shot at Vegas before we are home-bound. In the meantime, we'll keep pushing on Meagans belly and going over big bumps to see what we can do to get little Jase out on time.

Love you guys,
Ry

Dad,
I found that video clip I was telling you about. Check it out and tell me what you think. It's a good one!

Momsers

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Well, once again, we are loaded with 25 bags of candy (and the big candy bars for the neighbors), and getting ready for Halloween night. It just feels weird that all you guys aren't coming down!! Whose gonna eat all the pizza and pumpkin pie? Actually, Nik and Kacey just volunteered to come down, so we said Heck with the Pizza, we're going Chinese...Panda Express anyone??! Ahhhh, that got Meagan's attention....
This is the first year Kendall has hung up her trick or treat pillowcase and has opted to stay home...sigh...I'm getting old. She went to school today as a beat-up trashed U of U fan. Oops! Sorry Amy...hee hee. Hmm...she looked vaguely familiar, like the "sacked quarterbacks" of old, only with a University of Utah shirt on, and torn to ribbons. Add a few bandaids, blood, and bruises and she looked the part! Anyway,....glad to hear the Halloween party went so well--it sounded like lots of fun! We're hoping to make it up for the big football championship tomorrow...so, if you need anything brought up, better speak now!
Happy Halloween to you all and lots of love,
The Mom

Ry - Everyone Has to Watch This!

You've got to watch this. Click on this link and scroll down and click a couple times on the video. This is insane!! It's only 1 minute long. The team that has the ball was down by 2 with only a few seconds left. This is the longest play in FOOTBALL HISTORY! Check it out.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=3086283&sportCat=ncf&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab4pos1

Ry - Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!

I didn't have a picture of Nikki and Kacey on my camera... Kyle... put theirs up when you get a chance. The party was awesome!! Lots of food and laughs.

Our flag football team has made it... yet again, to the Championship Game. We are 1 of 3 and surprise surprise, are playing the exact same team that we have played the last 3 years. We'll get 'em this year! The Championship Game is at 5:00 on Thursday... wish us luck!

Ry

Meag sent this to me. Click on the link and then wait for the video to load up at the top. It is only about 45 seconds long. It makes you sit back for a second and realize how blessed our family is and what really should be important in life. Check it out, pretty interesting.

http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/viewmovie.html

Mom and Dad. Hope you guys are having a great time out there in New York. Get some pictures up when you get back of all the cool colors of the trees out there. With how many trees that are out there, it probably looks amazing.

Happy 29th Anniversary!!

To our family: Thank you so much for all the awesome gifts you guys gave us for Meagan's... or should I say Jace's (Jase's) baby shower. His room is really coming along and we'll get some pictures up as soon as we get it finished. Really though, thank you so much for all the nice things. I told Dad, I'm thinking of putting out flyers for Ryan's baby shower... clothes for a 26 year old. Amy and Kyle, thanks for putting in all the time to put it together. It sounded like it turned out really well.

Love ya,

Ryan

Pops!!

The knighting of President Eyring! You may have missed this in the conference when everybody laughed, but the camera wasn't on the prophet. Hinckley's such a stud! It just tells me that Heavenly Father must be laughing all the time too. This was extra awesome because President Eyring just met with us as a stake, just six months ago. I shook his hand and talked with him, so this was extra special to see him become part of the first presidency. My take on the issue, he'll be the next president of the church, after President Monson. It was awesome to go with everybody to the UNLV game. We missed Nikki and Kacey, but we were envious of the pre-Thanksgiving dinner they were having. Remember Pops loves left-overs. Mom keeps him on a low food diet. The donkey needs friends in kitchen places. Donkeys need love too. (and food). Keep crankin'--'specially while mom and I are vacationing and partying in New York...hee hee...sorry to rub it in. Love, Pops (Nikki, this isn't short for poppy-seed....)

SNOOP DAWG

HOLA MI FAMILIA!

okay so i haven't written in a long time! lo siento! But check out my picture i posted! Yes...mom, dad...this is my first real meal i've ever cooked! HOly cow, im a big kid now! I made poppyseed chicken (without the poppyseeds-i forgot that ingredient at the store..go figure), corn, and that stuff in a bowl.. yes that would be apple pie that i made! Okay, okay...it was made outta ritz crackers and not real apples, but it tasted like the exact same thing. Then mom i made one of those fat free key lime pies you always make in the grahm cracker pie shells! man, are your guys' mouths dropped open yet! haha! and the crazy thing is, it was actually good! AH CRAZY! Kacey liked it so much he was willing to take me to vegas and get married right then. I told him, if you think thats good wait til' i make french toast the way my mom makes it! wow, he'll be on his knees after that. haha (dad dont freak out, it was a joke). So anyway things are going great! School depresses me every other day, but im getting through it! anyway, I hope you guys had fun at the BYU game and california (mom and kendal)! so jealous! well, today Kacey and I our carving pumpkins we bought yesterday, and then we going to drive up the canyon to look at all the leaves changing! Im excited! okay, love you all! -nik

KYLE

K IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME BUT I AM BACK IN BUSINESS AND NOT THAT THINGS ARE CALMING DOWN, BUT I AM MANAGING MY TIME A LITTLE BETTER. WE WENT TO THE DOCTORS LAST WEEK AND FOUND OUT THAT WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE BABY IS ON OCT 22ND. WE ARE PUMPED. AMY WENT TO SALT LAKE TODAY FOR WAL MART MCDONALDS MEETING AND GETS BACK TONIGHT. I HAD MY DAY OFF TODAY AND PUT UP ALL OUR OUR DECORATIONS. I AM SURPRISING AMY WITH THIS. WE HAVE TO GET BACK ON EVERYONES CASE ABOUT WRITING CAUSE IT IS FUN TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE IS UP TO. WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE RYAN AND MEG AND JACE AS COUSINS. WE ARE OFF TO SALT LAKE ON THUR NIGHT TO TRY AND MARRY OFF MATT TO KIM. SORRY I CAN'T MAKE PRIESTHOOD DAD BUT I AM EXCITED TO SEE CONFRENCE. THE MISTRO IS SIGNING OUT.

Ry - What the Dee-Lee-O?

I was just wondering if everyone (excluding the mother) forgot the password to this thing. Regardless, I thought I'd throw my 2 sense in for the day.

We are down to our last week in this apartment. This will be the 4th place Meagan and I have lived in... in the past 4 years. We move about every year. Fun Fun! Meagan is also LESS than 2 months from having the baby. That is so crazy to think we'll actually have a little guy runnin' around. I guess he won't be running quite yet, but he definitely will be playing basketball NO LATER than 10 minutes after birth. I'll lace his shoes up for him, and we're heading straight for the B-ball court. None of this "nursery" or "incubator" business!

Seriously, we are so excited to have that coming up. Actually, with the holidays, parties, birthdays, moving, BYU games, and baby showers, I feel like our lives are a little hectic. We've got a lot of big things coming up and can't wait to get the ball rolling on all of them.

Lets get a few entries from the guys in the back who haven't showed their faces for quite some time.

Love ya guys,

Ry

MAMA MIA!!

Well, it's been a fascinating week....I'm still trying to figure out where it went. Between not sleeping on Tuesday and driving to Nephi on Friday, then Provo on Saturday...I'm pooped... I thought I had it made on Saturday cuz dad said he was taking grandpa to the BYU game. He actually even left the house and set out for Provo on Saturday morning.. He said good-bye to me and all...and, I thought, man this is gonna be good...I'm gonna sleep til noon, shop til I drop, eat ice cream and pizza.... You can imagine my shock, about an hour later... "What to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh (red jeep)... and a man drinkin' beer. (okay, okay it was diet pepsi...sorry, it didn't rhyme) What the heck??? He returned!! I guess he called grandpa from the road, and grandpa stood him up!! So, he drove back and dragged Kenni and I outa bed! What's the deal??? Anyway, we were recruited, and off we went to Provo....We did the drive, even though we had just did the drive, the day before (try saying that ten times fast...). Kenni went to the game with dad, and I at least got a little shopping in and a small cone from Arctic Circle...Not bad, not bad. Dad and Kenni got poured on at the game. They had their ponchos so they stuck it out almost until the end. Kendall's a die-hard fan!! She also rocked out the whole way up and back playing songs from Dashboard Confessionals, Edwyn McLean, Fray, Goo Goo Dolls,...and now dad and I know all the words, and will be looking for future concert tickets....(I'm leaning towards Edwyn McLean). Why is it when all you kids hit around the age of 14, you take over the radio controls, and dad and I are at your mercy??? How are we suppose to have a conversation??? hee hee... Okay, enough blabbin'----Here comes Monday....Have a good week! Love you guyz, MOM

Ry

Once again this is turning into Ryan's Journal. C'mon people.

Lets Go Goo Goo Dolls!!

It will be fun to have everyone up for the concert. Everyone better have listened to their CD's. If I don't see you singing a long, I'm going to come over and pound you. On that note, I hope they sing at least some of the songs we had on the CD.

Love ya guys,
Ry

Ry- Meag Did It!!

We went in to have Meagan's blood taken. She was frieked out of her mind... recalling "the moment" she had with Kyle and I at the doctors office the last time I went in with her to get shots.

To make a looong story short.... she did it. No running, screaming, kicking, bribing was involved whatsoever. She just layed down and took it like a man... eghemm, women. I thought back to the days when Mom would take us in for shots and she would always buy us a toy or ice cream after. That trait must have been passed down because my initial instinct response was to ask her if she wanted to grab ice cream because I was so proud of her. Of course, she declined... it was 8:30 in the morning.

Anyway, I had to give an update on the shot process and the HUGE improvement from the last tramatizing experience... traumatizing for me that is. ha ha. Love you Meag.

Ry

NICE JOB SNOOPY LOOPY ON YOUR ORGANIC CHEMSITRY TEST!! 1 DOWN.

SNOOP

OKay there needs to be a serious clarification right now about this whole "return with honor" issue. For the last time, boys just need to listen to girls and this world would be a better place...i had no part in picking to go to that movie, my vote was for Becoming Jane...but no, Kacey(newly returned missionary) and Ryan-uh who knows what his excuse was-just had to go see this fantastic missionary movie on a good ol' friday night. Wow! OKay Mom, Meagan, Amy, and Kendall we seriously need a smart girls night(cause i feel dumber ever since Friday night) and have to go see "Becoming Jane" or something....i dont know maybe we can paint eachothers toenails, hehe, okay im done!Amy and Kyle we missed you guys this weekend, but hope Salt Lake was fun! SOrry you guys always have to be on the go! drive home safe! Love you all!

Ry - Before you go see "Return With Honor"

If your still thinking about going and seeing "Return With Honor" watch this movie for at least an hour and a half. If you are still excited about watching it, than you might like Return With Honor.

Ry - Read Before Going To The Movies

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should anyone in our family go see "Return With Honor." I know the title sounds enticing, kinda draws you in... makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside... uh uh. It was THE worst movie I have ever seen in my life. It makes Napoleon Dynamite look like a billion dollar platinum movie. Nikki turned down "Running with Jennifer" and "Beefing up Jane" to watch this one... terrible. From here on out, I think Ryan should choose which movie to go see.

Love ya guys,
Ry

THE MISTRO IS BACK BOYS AND GIRLS

well we arrived in slc today and went to the olympus game and for the first time i saw a game get rained out. it was one of the hardest rain falls i have ever been in so we just hung out and now matt and i are off to play madden 08'
actually i need to get some sleep cause i am suppose to wake up tomorrow morning early to buy tickets but it is going to be my first day that i have had in 2 1/2 weeks to sleep in past 6:30 so i am still debating. tomorrow they are finishing the high school game that was cancelled, then we are going to the utah vs ucla, (lets go bruins) you guys look for me i will be the one in gold and blue in the middle of a bunch of red, and then i am watching the cougars at 7 so it is a complete day of football. today i was in drive thru and i dropped a ranch packet out the window and so i was going to go get it after a few cars went through, but when i reached out to give the bag to a customer, his tire hit it and shot it all over me. i think my drive thru days are over and i think i am going on to ticket broking.... well i bombed my test, but lets be honest, the day i get a higher score than ryan is the day i cheer for the utes. well nikki i am so glad casey is going to be my brother in law. i knew it all along. dad don't you worry i am now looking for car insurance and phone options so i will be a free man. thanks everyone for helping with moving into our house. we get internet on oct 2nd so from then on i will be a avid writer, but until then, whenever i get a chance away from work and can get to the library i will type away. well the mistro has to go take care of business in madden 08 love you guys and talk to you soon. ryan call me as early as you would like if you don't call me back tonight.

From Meagan

Hi Family- Okay, I know I've never been on this before because I guess I thought Ryan's blogs would cover my bases, but after the chastisment from Nikki, I've decided to try to be more like the "Golden Child" and start blogging. So what's the latest on my life? There's not much news actually, just the same routine of work and sleep. The little guy in my tummy keeps me pretty tired after I put in 8 hours at work. Luckily Kendall has turned me into a little bit of a book worm with these Vampire stories that I can read away and relax after work all the while enjoying the crazy lives of Edward and Bella! Thanks Kenz:). We are excited about moving into these new houses in Sunset Ridge. It will be nice to be closer to family and ... Wal-Mart (not to mention the extra room). I am getting really excited about the baby and can't wait to see his little face. He sure is kicking a lot these days and gets the hiccups often too. I told Ryan that sometimes my stomach feels like a bowl of jell-o in an earthquake:), but it's so fun!

Well, I just wanted to take this chance to tell everyone how much I love you guys! I couldn't have asked for a better family to become of part of! Thanks Greg and Kristan for everything you do for us. It has been such a blast being a part of the Andersons and experiencing some of the funny stories and memories.

Ry- Great Story

I didn't see my name on Nikki's list of people who had to write.... but... I thought I'd do it anyway.

I just had some door bell ditchers hit our door. I didn't catch them the first three times, but after that I had my window open and blinds drawn so I could see when they were coming. The fourth time I flung open the door and saw them just as they ducked behind my car... I was onto them. I ran out there and called them out from behind my car... two 7 year old MISCHIEVOUS girls appeared... and they were scared out of their minds. I was just running out there to tell them they were pretty good door bell ditchers, so I gave them high-five and told them how sneaky they were. They reminded me that they were the two girls I helped teach how to ride the wave board... funny little girls.

Anyway, they went on to tell me that they also door bell ditched my neighbors door also at the same time they rang our door bell, you know the "Ups" lady. Well, I told them that if they tried to door bell ditch me again I'd be ready. Sure enough, two minutes later, as I'm peeking through the peep whole in my door, they come up and one of the girls rings my door bell at the same time the "Ups" lady gets her door bell rang. I FLING OPEN THE DOOR and yell, "You guys are too slow!" They stop and are just about to come talk with me again when the "Ups" lady flings open her door completely FURIOUS she has been door bell ditched 5 times now. She runs out of her apartment yelling, "YOU GIRLS GET BACK HERE," just as the two girls take off sprinting around the corner. Needless to say in all the commotion, I slowly shut my door before the "Ups" lady sees that I am totally having a blast trying to catch these door bell ditching girls. Meagan and I were cracking up about the whole thing.

Anyway, sorry so long. Lets get some more posts on here... keep this thing rockin.

Love ya guys,
Ry

SNOOP DAWG

Mom you are outta of control....should we put in my speech that it is not proper to throw flour and water on your date, who made you a banana cream pie? wow dad was quite the charmer wasn't he??ummm.....how can i talk on this subject if i have no example to look up to? Parents i hope that you are happy cause i apologized to my science teacher today. i seriously think that all teachers know who i am and they are all scared of me. But this teacher cant be cracked...he shows no mercy. i might just be joining Dani next year in Hygeine School. Dad.... you are right, i will just have to marry a really rich guy. So i did some research and found out that Kacey is pretty serious about being a doctor and so i told him that as soon as he shows me the acceptance letter, it is a sealed deal. But i did promise him in return that he would be that happiest man ever. so whoever said that money cant buy you happiness, didnt marry a rich guy. Well family, love you all!! Peace.......p.s. if your name is chad, kyle, amy, meagan, dad...or anything close to that sit your booties down and type a 15 second blog, haven't heard from you guys in a while.

I'm usually not on the computer but lately I have been discovering the ins and outs of "dating etiquette" ...ask Nikki....so I have been waiting for you guys to drop a line on this and say What's going on???! What's goin' on here is....Young Women's is killin' me...too many meetings!Ahhhhh...... Kendall took dad and I on last night in a little one on one basketball....Skunked dad big-time....I just cried "no mas" and became a cheerleader instead. Chad escorted the "rodeo princess" to a dinner dance last night...Yup, I think between this and the country concerts, Chad's gonna start wearin' those big silver belt buckles pretty soon. Grandma Myra turned 75 yesterday...a quarter of a century...give her a call today if you can (949) 858-6653....go granny go!! Well, that's it. I have jogged for 3 dayz straight now. Let's here it for the mom!! Let me know what's up with everyone. Adios and muchos love, Mom

Its actually a cool video of when Kyle, Amy, Christian, Julie, Me, Meagan, and Chad and his girlie went to the Harlem Globtrotters for Valentines Day. One of the guys does a flip over someone else then dunks it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

That was fun having you guys up in Cedar and having the whole family there. My stomach hurt from laughing so hard at the stories.

We'll be down in a couple days to clean up for the party.

Love ya guys,
Ry

P.S. Mom- I think everyone said something about how awesome you looked! Also, Casey's poem was great. Kendall, you two need to make some kind of book of poems. You two have some pretty good poems!... and thanks for bringing up that book for Meag!

Kendall

CHECK THIS OUT!!

Every COUGAR FAN must click on the link below. It's only 51 seconds... of sheer happiness. This gives me the chills everytime I watch it.

It's COUGAR time........ http://youtube.com/watch?v=RnJbeswDpVg&mode=related&search=

DAD, did you get the memo to bring up your "ridin' vehicle?" I took my scooter for a spin today and about slammed into a 10 foot tractor tire trying to get across an intersection. Who would have thought there were more guys like Dad that like to drive tractors in their free time?? Who knew!

MOM, nice job on conquering the blog!! See, electronics arn't so bad right? It's good to see we have yet another blogger on our hands. I was beginning to wonder if this turned into the Ryan & Kendall blog.

Have fun up in Provo. I'm pumped for the game........

GO COUGS!!!

MOMSERS!!

Yes!! After 20 minutes of "trial and error", I finally MASTERED the BLOG!! Wahoooo!! This is my first entry. Well, unfortunately, I was so interested in figuring this out..I didn't really think about what I had to say. It is after midnight and dad is turning off all the lights and I will soon be sitting here in the dark...so, I better think fast!! I've been having a great "pre-birthday" so far. Dad has been my 'handy-man slave' for the last two days and has been fixing things like a "mad-man"..Here is great news...WE ordered carpet for our stairs!! Yup, miracles never cease to exist. We also took down the "circus clown" curtains in the family room, and have really cool metal valances up instead. OHHHH, you want to see them, huh? Well, all you Cedar City-ites are just gonna have to come on down. Okay.... enough...You know, I've been known to write a book when i get started..I better quit now...Tomorrow we get to see what BYU is made of this season...yeah! Go Cougars! Bye cute kids and studly husband.....Love, Momsers

Ryan

Our blog went from Top 10 most used to... barely making the Top 100. What the heck?!?

Kendall, I think you put that quote up because you were thinking the same thing as Whoopi. Is that true??

As for Meag and I, I am back in school... and its such a blast. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else for the rest of my life!! Work, vacation, playing with friends and familiy... these are all distractions from the one love I have in life........ SCHOOL!

Seriously, it's not too bad. I've had harder years. Nikki assures me that this is how it is supposed to be. If I have an easy schedule, I have more time to tutor O.Chem.

Snoop, good luck with that!! One more person to feel the pain Kyle and I have had to go through.


Meag and I went walking the other day and walked by this guys house. In his front lawn he had mowed the BYU symbol "Y" with a circle around it. It looked just like the logo. Wahoo!!! I'm so excited for football season!! Go Cougs!!

Everyone better still have their home pages set to our website. It is the only way to keep everyone posted and constantly checking out what is going on with the family. Mom, I need to teach you how to post something.

Talk to you all soon.

Love ya guys,
Ry

Kendall's cool quote!

Ry

It happend!! I got my first Pepper Spray Sale!! That's just enough profit to buy half a sandwhich at Subway, WAHOO!!

I just thought I'd fill everyone in on my new business. It may be short lived if that is the only sale I get, but I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed.



Kyle and Amy! Good luck with running the McDonalds. Hang in there, it's gotta get easier.

Ry -Latest on Hurricane Dean

The Hurricane Dean story is the front page of Yahoo.com. They have now said that it is larger than TEXAS!! Holy Cow. They have all kinds of video clips on this thing.

Ry

I've been reading and watching things on Hurricane Dean. They said by the time it hits the Yucatan Penninsula (where we were), it will be considered a class 5 hurricane. To put that in perspective, they followed saying that other recent class 5 hurricanes were hurricane Emily and HURRICANE KATRINA! Isn't that crazy!!

They have brought in more flights that will leave Cancun before the storm hits, but even with that they said there will be a ton of people that don't get out in time and will have to wait it out. It sounds like this thing is going to be crazy. All the videos show the storm going straight over the Yucatan Pennisula. Anyways, I'll keep ya posted.

KYLE & AMY, GIVE US A CALL TODAY SO WE CAN GO SEE YOUR PLACE. WE GET OUT OF CHURCH AT 4:00.

Love all you guys,

Ry

P.S. DAD what were you trying to post just before my post?? It is labeled "Yahoo Mail business55555@yahoo.com and has a link? Let me know. I clicked on the link and it took me to a page that wasn't working.

AMY AND KYLE

today was our last day in salt lake..... we think. we never know what is really going happen. we are going to the skyline vs bingham game tonight which is suppose to be one of the biggest opening games of the year in high school football. when we got off work the other day, we went to the moives and we saw rush hour 3. chris tucker is now my favorite actor of all time since he is the funniest man alive. we will be moving into our place in a week in all goes right, but on the 27th we have to leave for denver for a 3 day class so we might not be in there till the begginging of sept. our house has probably sold which is really good news, but it sold for really cheap and that is kind of a bummer cause we were planning on getting a certain amount of money, but i guess that is the way it goes. ryan and meg, i think we can only give you $700.00 but i think that is still pretty good and hopefully you guys are happy with that. so now we are going to go pack the car up with more stuff and continue hauling it down to cedar city. we don't actually take over mcdonalds till the 23th. i see some very busy days ahead and i am hoping we are lucky and ONLY have 70 hour weeks.
love the mistro and pbc

POPS: '"IS IT ME??"

The week poll's answer was.....POPS!!!
It was a trick question. If you read closely you will come to find that it is actually a person telling a story about Chad, so cleary this indicates and eliminates Chad from the poll. When Dad was telling this exaggerated story he said Kenney's chesnuts instead of just Kenney Chestnut like Chad said! What a turkish weeny huh? So all those that put POPS good job!

The Cancuneers

Here are just a few pictures to show you some of the things that we did! We were walking around doing some shopping and we were sweating to death, so we stopped in for an ice cream. As we were walking in... we just had to take a picture of this guy that was standing at the order counter. Click on this picture and examine. Read what it says on the door then see how "literally" this guy took the guidlines. We were laughing for hours!! This may very well haunt me in my sleep for the next 3 months.
Nikki also got to swim with the dolphins and pull the Superman with two dolphins pushing her across the pool. Look at some of the beach pictures. The water was just about as warm as our swimming pool in our back yard. AMAZING! We'll tell you guys more when we get home.

We hope school is going good and that everything is going well for everyone. We are excited to hear about the new Junior High'er, the Senior Year, the "new crib" as pops would put it of Kyle & Amy's, and to see if mom is still alive after yet another round of Dental Applications (I owe you HUGE Mom, thanks).

We're getting up at 4:00 a.m. to catch our flight into Dallas, TX and then we'll hang there for the day before heading home. We'll see ya soon.

Love ya guys,

Pops, Ry, Meag, and Snoopy

P.S. Meag says: I hope your feeling ok Amy. Hang in there!

Here are a few of the things we've been able to do. 1st off, WE SWAM WITH THE SHARKS!! There were five types of sharks in the tank, 10 sharks total. We even fed them It was crazy!! We also went and climbed up the Myan Temples and entered the Holy Room on top. We had a dinner above all the stores under tiki candlelight. On our last day in Mexico, we found a restaurant that was just right on the beach. We hung out there and then snorkeled some. We saw huge turtles, Sting Rays, Sea Cucumbers, and even an eel. We really packed it in!! Every night we came home exhausted.
