East Coast Family

When the family gets together......

Scenes by the pool. Never a dull moment with this crowd. Beth put together a special lunch-birthday for Halle and me. Halle turned 8 years old on Sept. 8. And of course, no body let me forget my birthday, this day, Sept 11th. I try to be quiet about it, but I really do appreciate the well wishes. Thanks to everyone.


I was very excited to see Beth's mom, Kitty, and her sister, Colleen. They are sooo cute.

Pool Time

Beth and Tim had a pool get-together. They have a new beautiful pool. When I grow-up I really want one. It was a beautiful day. Couldn't ask for anything better. Everyone had a great time!

Grandma Anderson's Hip Replacement

Spring Mill in Phoenixville

She's on the mend.....

On September 3, 2010, my mother had hip surgery in Paoli Hospital and then on Sept. 7th she was transported, by Dad, to Spring Mill Rehab Center in Phoenixville. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I to go to Pennsylvania and visit my parents, siblings, and their families. I really wanted to be with my dad while mom was in rehab.

We got to visit everyday and hear about the improvements that mom was making. She has physical therapy and occupational therapy everyday. Yes, in occupational therapy she got to make crafts. I think they did that just for her. They must have know she was coming.

She is doing well and hopefully will be home this next week. We love you mom!!!

Labor Day -- AF Canyon

Tibble Fork Trails

On Labor Day afternoon Nathan, Kyle, and I headed for the hills. Kevin had football practice so he missed out. We went up towards Tibble Fork Reservoir and went on the trails. We took a trail we've not taken before. On one of the trails we found an old shack. Kyle wanted to go in, but I encouraged him not to. I was afraid what was in it or if the floor would even hold him.

On another trail we found some stranded 4-wheelers. A man and his wife from Murray, Utah had slid off the road and a tree was the only thing keeping their 4-wheeler from going down the hill. Nathan immediately got out his tow ropes and wench to assist to their rescue. After many tricky maneuvers and slippery moments we pulled the bike back onto the trail. I honestly don't know how they survived this one. The bike was pinned against the tree and tipping on two wheels. Pretty scary. They weren't doing anything very dangerous. Just riding the trail and hit a real soft spot the wrong way.

Rexburg Visit

Recently we went to Rexburg to visit Paula. While there, we went to the Rexburg Temple. We also got to see Paula and Nathan's old bishop from El Centro, CA. Bishop and Sister Lusk met us there and we were able to perform temple work together. We are so blessed to have temples all around the world.

Yes, I had to get glasses. I'm not too thrilled, but I sure can see better. I need them to drive and to read. What a humbling experience. I still think "they" are making the print too small these days.
