I'm Green - It's actually my favorite color.

Debby, your true color is Green!

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum ­ reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

Craig is BLUE!!!

Craig,
You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

I guess this fits me pretty good.
We love and miss you all!!!!!!

New Room/New Teeth!!




I am definitely feeling the wait of the world on my shoulders right now with basketball season, high school, and teenage mood swings. But I have to keep reminding myself that I have much to be thankful for; particularly my own room and no braces! :)

Anglesey Antics






Take this test!


You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

May The Moose Be With You

By Braeden

I had a dream last night that went like this.

I'm in some very dusty ancient ruins with my cousin Tanner (He's in almost every one of my dreams) And I get attacked by some Star Wars characters (you probably wouldn't know) I fight them off then receive a message that my best friend and his sister and all of my family are touring "Flapjack City" (It's up in these really high mountains and there are mountains everywhere and everything is covered with snow and the city is built on this big red Frisbee thing that is very bendy) And the "Frisbee Thing" is going to slide off the mountain. So I have to fight a couple more Star Wars characters off and then some aliens from Halo until finally I have to hike the Machu Picchu trail but at the top is Flapjack city. The "Frisbee Thing" has already started to slip off and everybody is screaming so I jump and grab it with my cousin Tanner (He's been with me the whole time) while it's on the edge and we pull it back up with the help of some Sporgins (I knew what they were called in the dream for some reason. They are pretty much orange-colored moose spirits [beats me. don't ask]) We keep pulling it until it is at the top of the mountain instead of on this ledge that it used to be on. Next the town's people decide to name the town after me: "Braidonvile". After I try to explain that my name is spelled differently, everybody gets mad at me (Except Tanner and his girlfriend who are happily kissing) and they push me of the ledge. As I am looking up and falling, I see Tanner on his belly look over the edge and reach down to me as if trying to grab me then he is dragged away. I fall for about an hour or so and it was the most realistic fall I have ever had in any of my dreams, then I wake up with no blankets on me, halfway off my bunk, and with a sore throat and runny nose.

*note by Mom: Do you think Xbox had anything to do with this?

Kids new toy!





A couple in our ward gave us a swing set. It will be so wonderful for the kids to be outside playing so that mom can focus on Matthew. The kids LOVE it! Don't forget to scroll down to the pics of Matthew!

Matthew Chase Anglesey











The little boy has finally come out to play! He now shares a birthday with his sweet Aunt Jennifer. His weight was 8Lbs and 5 ounces and he is 21 inches long. He picked up on the eating thing right away and has been doing great. He had a bit of Jaundice but is now back to normal. He's a sweetie! Enjoy the pics.
