Help-- Please!!!

This spring our family is headed to Torreon, Mexico for our spring vacation. We'll be part of a group of 28 which includes four families traveling together as part of Family to Family Humanitarian Expeditions. Torreon is located in central Mexico between Mexico City and the US/Mexican border. While in Mexico we will have the opportunity to live in the homes of local saints.

During the day our main objective will be to build a home for a family in desperate need. The local Stake President said of this project, "I will not rest until this house is built." The Stake President asked all of the high priests under his stewardship (40 in the whole stake) to donate $40.00 each to go toward building supplies. A fortune for them.

There is also a need for dresses, white shirts, and ties.

In the evenings our group will provide mini-firesides and classes on music (playing, singing, leading, making drums, etc.), crafts, dancing, sewing, sports, magic tricks, etc., etc., etc. We have much preparation ahead of us. Preparation that, I'm sure, will be time well spent.

We are very excited about this opportunity. Our WHOLE family is on board (even our newly married daughters and their husbands)! But we need help with donations. Look around. Ask around. See what you can find in the way of dresses and white shirts and ties that you or others may be willing to donate. Of course, $$$ is always appreciated. Our group is trying to raise $3000 toward the building of this very humble house, which to these people, will be more than their dream home.

Our spanish is poor, but our hearts are full as we look forward to our time among the saints of Torreon, Mexico.

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
