We were sitting in church watching all the little kids run around, and started to wonder what our kids will look like someday. I kept trying to picture the little boys with Benjamin’s hair. When we got home, we decided to get onto one of those websites where you can upload pictures of two people and they create a baby based on the two pictures. We chose two pictures of our faces and waited for our baby to be born. Here was the baby it came up with….
I just thought I would post an update on our schooling. We have about 4 weeks left in this semester.
Amy is taking:
Benjamin is taking:
This is my last semester of classes and in the Fall I will student teach at a local high school.
Benjamin is tutoring General Chemistry this semester, playing in the pit orchestra of school musical Children of Eden, serving as vice-president of the Pre-Med Society,teaching guitar and bass lessons, and playing in the the Rexburg Orchestra. He is taking the MCAT in May and applying for Med school early this summer. He has one semester left and possibly and internship.
Here are a few pictures of us this semester:
Benjamin being silly on the guitar.
Benjamin attacking the celery. He has been so nice to make dinner so often this semester. He is a pretty good cook.
The bulletin board I designed for my Health Method’s class.
Valentine’s dinner with a couple from our stake.
Benjamin and I took Emily and Joe sledding at Sugar Hill. It was fun. When we were finished, Emily and I played in the snow for about another hour. Here are some pictures of the day:
Emily and I were making a snow fort by filling this big Rubbermade with snow to shape the bricks.
Emily and I hiked down to the Willows at my parent’s house. Quite a work out.
There were animal tracks all over down in the Willows. Emily and I took pictures of a lot of them. We made this one and took a picture of it to try and trick my brother Joe, but he didn’t fall for it.
But we almost got him to believe that this one was a Pterodactyl track.
A few weeks ago Benjamin and I went to a ward dance. The theme was famous couples in history. Benjamin and I have always been awful at coming up with costumes. We usually don’t dress up or find something at the very last minutes that ends up being kind of lame. This party was no exception. We had lots of ideas but we kept finding one persons costume, but not the other. For example,we found a Princess Lea costume for me, but couldn’t find a Han solo costume for him. We were almost Joseph and Emma Smith, but I couldn’t get my hair to do the ringlet thing. So we settled on Alfalfa and Darla, which was kind of pathetic because my hair would not curl that day and Benjamin had just barely cut his hair, making it to short to stick up. We made it stick up a little bit, but you can’t see it in these pictures. He looks kind of scary, but you should see him try to sing like Alfalfa.
…I think I do. I just have to brag about the cute litte girls that have been born to my sister’s in-law in the last couple of months.
Introducing Kalina Johnette Romney. My former room mate and now my sister in-law Kylie, just gave birth to little Kalina. And let me tell you, she is a doll!
Just a few months before, Lila and Ruby were born. These cousins will be such good friends.

My Grandma had so many fun appetizers and desserts at her house for Christmas eve.
My brother Riley came home from the Army for Christmas. He gave this sword to the whole family to hang in my grandparent’s house. It is the kind of sword that our anscestors would have used and Riley had it special made. It has the handle with symbols of our name: Andreasen. There is also a family crest embroidered with gold that hangs from the sword. My grandpa was so excited. It was a neat present for the whole family.
My side of the family has a family tradition: Every year on Christmas Eve everyone eats a little cup of pudding. One cup has an almond hidden inside it. Whoever gets the almond is dubbed the king or queen of Christmas. On Christmas day they get special treatment and don’t have to do the dishes or clean up wrapping paper or cook and so on.
Benjamin’s reaction when he found the almond in his pudding.
After appetizers at the Lawrence’s and treats at my grandparent’s we had a fancy dinner at the Romney’s. It was such a fun night. Thanks everyone!!!
Every year before Christmas my parents rent a suite at a condo just out side of Driggs. It is a lot of fun every year. My brother Riley got to come home for Christmas from his army base in North Carolina.
My little brother and sister are being silly with the sparkling cider.
Emily and Benjamin playing the game cube.
Benjamin took Emily and Joseph on a hike through the woods around the condo.
