To State!!!

My volleyball team got to go to State this year, our first year in the UHSAA 2A State Tournament. Yeah! Our season ended 1 - 10, but in my defense we had the hardest region in the state. 3 of the other 5 teams took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the State Tournament. They played hard and they really progressed throughout the season. My best player is unfortunately graduating this year. She was a fantastic player & a great leader.

Our State Tournament was at UVU with 4 courts set up all at the same time. I think my girls got a little intimidated. They've never played any where close to that. Shoot, we don't even have our own gym yet! It was great experience for them for next year though. We lost our first game then we almost won our second game, in fact we totally could have! That was the frustrating part. They have had communication & hesitation issues all season and we've worked on it so much. Anyway, I'm happy with our progress (we closed the gap, point-wise, every time we played the same team) and glad we got to go to State. It was a good season. You can see me here at the State Tournament tossing the balls for warm-up :)

1st Annual Anderson Halloween Party

This year I put together a little party for us kids. We had a little costume contest. Who do you think won? Ah come on, it's easy!! My costume pretty much rocks it! A creepy track coach. Haha! Snowb inspired me, cause she's creepy :) j/k

Then we did a little pumpkin carving. That was slimy fun. I put a cool stache on mine to match me. Dexter's is ingenious, Lisi's & Artisto's is well, amazing and Snowb's is HUGE!

We unfortunately didn't have any candles to put inside them, so we improvised with some left over sparklers from the Fourth of July. I'm tellin ya what?!! That was the best idea EVER! It was so cool. We'll be doing that every year from now on.

Plus we had a little fun with 'em as well :)

We took some other HILARIOUS pictures with my goofy goggles, but Snowb would KILL me if I posted them! Ha, oh well, I don't care! Take a gander.......Oh man, it's too much!!

We had such a riot that night. I LOVE getting together with my siblings. We have so much fun together. Love you guys!

Hallowen Fun

So I've always wanted to go to the famous Cornbelly's mostly because my sister Snowb always talks about it. So my roommates and I all got together and went on a group date. They have a giant corn maze and then lots of other little activities and games like the picture shows

It's a great time. Here's some pictures of us on the Jumping Pillow and at the end of the maze - longest one ever! Haha!

A week or so later we went to the pumpkin patch to pick a few pumpkins both for carving and for making dinner in a pumpkin, made by my roommate Allison. Dee-liscious! We look pretty funny in this picture....on the move!

More Wedding Pics....by Will Duris

Mr. & Mrs. Loño

Believe it or not Elise & Erik (click for pictures) are now married - for a month now! Wahoo!! They got married Oct. 10 and it was a wonderful day. Family and friends were in attendance from all over and it was a nice chance to catch up and see loved ones again. It was nice to just finally enjoy all the wedding stuff and not stress about all the little details. I didn't even help that much, but just hearing about it was enough :) Elisey looked gorgeous and Erik as handsome as ever!

I LOVE this picture!!

What do you think? Do I look like my Aunt or Uncle at all?

So funny story. On the way to the luncheon after the wedding, my Dad and I was following Snowb in her Rodeo on the freeway. Well, she had a pretty low tire and I could see it just getting lower & lower. She was in the far left lane going pretty fast so I told my Dad to call her and tell her to get to the right lane asap and slow down. Well just as she got there, her tire started smoking and then it blew! Here's the proof.... My dad in his brand new suit and Sonya in her heels. Needless to say we were a little late to the luncheon. Oops.
The reception was at Highland Gardens such a cool place, filled with loads of people and loads of fun. Got to see old family friends and eat good treats! Erik's sister made the cake, beautiful eh? The spongy one on the left is a groom's cake.
The time came for the throwing of the bouquet (stampede of females) and there was some tough competition! Elise's friends and current students as well as us sisters. Who was going to catch it?! I decided to put my game face on and catch it regardless of the outcome to the others :) aka getting hurt. Craziness I tell you.

And the lucky winner is.........!!This was probably one of the most amazing receptions I've been to and I'm not just being biased because it was my sister's. To end, Lisi and her old ward members performed Thriller for old times sake as well as had little dance party to celebrate.

And of course we had to decorate the car :) Nothing too drastic..... We are talking about high class people here......haha
