This is one of the first things Massey will see when he's born: a gift from his abuelo Garcia.

This is me and Micah about to get beaten in camel racing at the Circus Circus.











Esther is modeling the beanie I made her for Christmas.











I was guessing what Ruth gave me. She didn't want to open a gift on Christmas Eve because she put all of mine in one box and I wouldn't have had anything to open in hte morning.And she gave me just what I wanted!













And she got just what she wanted (I think).














All of the family that came for Christmas got to see the house in it's latest stage of development. Scout is off to the side taking a nap.









This is the video that Jordan took of G-ma and G-pa's new Anderson compound. This place will be the best. With all of the drywall up, it's easy to see more what it will be like when it's all done.
Here is some more of down stairs and in a view of the house from out back.

Ruths Birthday

Our 11 month anniversary

This is my favorite picture that we took tonight. We set the camera on automatic and the flash off. I like the way the lights jump out and fade into each other.

This is what we woke up to on Mom's birthday and today it did a bit more snowing and probably wont melt until next week.
Here's the picture that our waiter Juan took of us at the Olive Garden were we went for the anniversary. Ruth had never gone there before and it had been a while for me, long enough I guess.

I've never liked winter so much..

So far I have loved this winter; baby on the way, beautiful wife who makes my lunches for work, and Reno is treating me pretty well.
Darin and Ross and Toby came over last week to share a pizza, coffee cake, ice cream and root beer with Ruth and me. Things got kind of wild when we started playing Apples and Apples. I won of course.
We also discovered that Toby doesn't like flashes, just like uncle Jordan. He just couldn't get his hand up fast enough.

I just really like this picture of Toby

Friday Snow

This Friday morning Bryce Prescott and I went to the UNR computer surplus sale (where I got some awesome stuff!) and when we came out it was snowing!
Here's a picture of Ruth and me later on that morning...
It was a fun day.

Work si goot

This week has been ok so far. I was sick on Monday evening and all Tuesday so I missed work but yesterday and today I was fine. It must have been a short thing, my muscles felt like I had the flu but my nose and throat were fine. I stayed home and worked on a couple of hats for people's christmas presents.

Pilgrimage Scrimage

We had a great thanksgiving even though we were abandoned for Utah and a little Scout. However, we still had a great time here in Reno at our Mexican-themed thanksgiving dinner with hot sauce on the turkey and a salsa dance after eating.
Here is the Pumpkin pies and Sweet Potatoes and Mashed Potatoes that Ruth and I took for our feast.

Friday

Well, we've joined the masses and decided we should make a blog. We know we're having and boy in Feb. and the due date is on the 27th. Babies are unpredictable though so he could be born on the 29th (making him a leap-year baby, sweet!) and that would make him special right off the bat.
Not too sure how often we will update this but since this is the first time I write I should add some photos also. Maybe I will in a few minutes, Frazier is on and we love that show. Kelsey Grammer is a comedic genius.
