Two Amazing weeks in a nutshell

I cannot express how blessed I feel to belong to such wonderful families. I'm sure that I have the most wonderful parents and siblings in this world. Also, when I decided to marry Jordan I didn't realize how lucky I would soon become, for I would be part of his family. An amazing family which is not only composed of people whom I deeply love but admire as well. I feel truly blessed to have wonderful blood sisters and amazing sisters-in-law whom I love very much. It's been a week since Hannah and Camille went home to their families. Melissa and her family also came for a couple of days and it was awesome seeing them almost every day. Sarah and Britta were the only ones missing. Maybe in the future like Camille said, all of the Anderson girls can get together and do something fun for a couple of days...just the girls! Anyways, these last couple of weeks have been amazing and I can't possibly do justice to the many funny/tender/poopy/special moments by way of writing, so I've selected a few of my favorite pictures hoping to recapture some of those special moments.
No puedo expresar lo bendecida que soy al pertenecer a familias tan especiales. No tengo duda de que tengo los mejores padres y hermanos de este mundo. Tambien, al casarme con Jordan nunca me imagine lo bendecida que seria al convertirme parte de su familia. Una familia tan maravillosa compuesta de personas tan especiales. Me siento tan bendecida de tener hermanas tan maravillosas y cuñadas tan buenas a quienes quiero mucho. Hace una semana Hannah y Camille regresaron a Utah con familia despues de pasar dos semanas aqui. Tambien Melissa y su familia pasaron unos dias aqui. Sarah y Britta fueron las unicas que faltaron. Fueron dos semanas super divertidas ya que me la pase con ellas casi todos los dias. Tome cientos de fotos tratando de capturar esos momentos tan especiales.

A special birthday party for a special boy
Nigel was one day away from being 1 year old, so a special birthday celebration was done in his honor. My family was invited and the food like always....was simply amazing.

The view from Stone Hill is indescribable. My dad thought so too.

King Ranch
I told Camille about this one Mexican market called King Ranch on Wells street where chilles rellenos were sold and she was totally excited so we went one afternoon and it was lots of fun. Maisy and Laurel were just adorable, I think that Maisy learned to like me. I'm sure she thought I was weird because it took her a couple of days to smile at me.

Cute Laurel and Massey
Sewing Party

Hannah and Camille are super good at sewing, they even had a sewing party that lasted several days. Here Maisy and Laurel are discussing measurements and sewing patterns.
These are the pants that I made for Massey with the easiest pattern in the world!
Thanks Hannah
Massey started doing this. It must have been his tooth trying to come in.
Massey empezo a chuparse el labio de arribo, pienso que era un dientito que le empezo a salir, se veia tan chistosito que tuve que tomarle una foto.
Massey and Nigels' first conversation

We spent the night over at Stone Hill on saturday so that we could go to church on Sunday with everybody. The next morning Massey and Nigel woke up acting extra cute. It looked like they were having a very interesting conversation.
Nos quedamos a dormir el fin de semana con mis suegro para ir a la capilla con ellos, y el primito Nigel y Massey se despertaron bien platicadores. Y parecia que estaban teniendo una conversacion muy interesante.


Camping at Tahoe
Trying to bury Jordan in the rocks, we all gave up. It was too hard.
Fuimos a campar al Lago Tahoe una noche con mi familia y unos amigos del barrio de mis papas y Jordan y yo nos divertimos muchisimo con mis hermanas. Tratamos de enterrar a Jordan pero fue casi imposible, solo habia piedrecitas.





Raquelita loves to draw and she is so good.
My mom brought her easel and she looked too cute!

A Raquelita le encanta pintar y mi mama le trajo su caballete.
Se veia como toda una pintora

Ruthie,
I thought I left a comment on this but just realized that I didn't! I loved this post...MAN, we had such a good time. Sometimes I wish I could either just beam you here or just beam myself there for a day. You are one of the greatest blessings in our family. I'm SO glad Jordan was smart enough to marry you!
