It seems like whenever I post something on here it always seems to have something about William. Not that the rest of us haven't done anything noteworthy-he's just the main humor in our lives at the moment...
So he comes home from preschool the other day with a cute book his teacher had made claiming him as the VIP for the day. It had pages all about him in it. Well, as I was looking through it I get to a page where the teacher has written his full name in apparently after asking him what it was. In colorful marker it says William Butch Anderson. No, Butch is not a family name nor a name we felt inclined to give our child.After picking myself off the floor from laughter I realized why she wrote that. For some reason all of my kids one time or another have gotten confused about their middle name with one of their siblings. Heck, Mitchell was Mitchell Diane for a while until we finally got it through his head Diane was his sisters middle name not his! :) Anyway William says when asked his middle name is Birch-which Is Mitchell's middle name (my maiden name). William doesn't say his R's so yes I could totally see after hearing Birch thinking it would be Butch when it is said with no R's. He has been known as Butch around here lately always with peals of laughter as we say it.
By the way, William's real middle name-Fredrik!:)

What is Happening
It's what the 12th of January? Ok so as we are not too far into the New Year I thought I would share some things from the past year-especially as I never did Christmas cards-sorry! Never got put on my list so it never got done!
Anyway, as most of you know Kirk has been in school at the University of Phoenix on-line and had his first break in a year when he had his 2 week break during Christmas. He is majoring in Business Management and will have his Associates at the end of this July, take a couple week break and on to his Bachelor's. It's definitely a commitment of time and money but we both have felt very strongly this is what he is supposed to be doing and he is where he is supposed to be. He is still with Lowe's and that again is another one of those things that we seriously didn't think he would be there that long and thought of only as a temporary place but as a year is approaching we feel again that is where is supposed to be right now for all reasons not known to us at the moment. It's sure as heck , most definitely not for the money but we are blessed with the things we need. He is still over the elder's Quorum at church.
I still am working part-time for IRI which I love and works well with our schedules as I can basically work when I want to and I usually don't work over 10 hours a week. I am still the 2nd counselor in the young women's at church over tthe Beehives-which I love-but I actually am just starting with a new Presidency. Then with any other time I have I being a wife, mom etc... Life of course is not perfect but I am at peace and I have joy.
Mackenzie is 9 1/2 and in the 4th grade. She is doing well but we think is already starting to go through the teenage angst trying to figure out why she is feeling this way etc.. We love her and that she is our daughter. She is a lot of fun. Oh and did I mention how tall she is? She is 5'2" and now wears the same show size as me-size 9. yes, she definitely takes after Kirk's side!
Mitchell who is 7, is in 1st grade and enjoying school. He is in between soccer right now but still manages to exert all his energy somehow, somewhere! He turns 8 this October which is a big thing as he will be baptized. I can't believe how fast my son is growing up!( all my kids actually)
William is 4 and in pre-school. He will be 5 in July and will be in Kindergarten this fall. All my kids will be in school-what a different time in life that will be! As you can tell from the other posts, he is our entertainer and keeps us laughing a lot.
