First Day Of School

2011-11-17T10:43:00.000-08:00

Did I tell you I have a FIRST GRADER??? I know, I still can't believe it. Although I hate getting old, there is nothing more fun than having kids and watchin THEM get big. I love each milestone and always say "This is my favorite age" and then they get to the next stage and I say it again. My kids are my pride and joy. I love spending every second with them. Oh yeah, and Morgan is in PRESCHOOL!! When did she get so big!

Waiting for the bus!

Dance, Dance, and More Dance

2011-11-17T10:15:00.000-08:00

This summer was spent dancing, A LOT! I loved every second of it. This is one of the joys of having all girls that LOVE to dance. I never danced as a girl, but always secretly dreamed that I did. I am a terrible dancer, so it's fun to see my girls excel at it. In June was their annual dance recital. THEY. DID. AWESOME!! I was one proud mama. Here are just a few pictures from that fun day.

Going Private

2011-11-02T13:05:00.001-07:00

Hey Guys! I am going to FINALLY update my blog, but first I'm going private. Leave me your email if you want an invite!!

Guess Who's 1!!!

2011-05-27T14:59:00.000-07:00

It is so hard to believe that my sweet little Tenlee Marie turned one yesterday! I love her so much. We had a birthday party for her (pictures to come) with family and friends. She loved the icing on the cake for a minute. She definetly didn't love it as much as Kenadee and Morgan did when they turned one.

Today we went to the doctor for her checkup. The doctor says she looks great and is developing right on schedule. She can say a few words like mama, dada, bah bah (bottle), bye bye, hi, aww-ohh. Thats all I can think of for now. She is 29 1/2 inches long (75%), 20lbs 3 oz (35%), and her head is 47.1 cm (95%). Some people think she is SO BIG for her age but she really isn't. The girl just has a few rolls; give her a break! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TENLEE!!

Kenadee's Birthday

2011-05-26T12:07:00.001-07:00

Kenadee turned 6! Can you believe it?? I sure can't. It's hard to believe it was that long ago that she came into our family. She is such a sweet heart and I couldn't imagine life without her. She enjoys doing so many things. She is such a good big sister and LOVES being a mom to Morgan and Tenlee. One of her favorite things to do is play with the little girl across the street. I say little because to me she is, but she is actually 13. She is so cute with Kenadee and Morgan and loves to spend any free time she has playing with them.

Kenadee is my little singer. I have always hoped I would have one child that loved to sing as much as me. A few weeks ago Kenadee and I sang a song together in sacrament meeting. SHE DID AWESOME!! She didn't even get nervous and acted like she had done it a hundred times before.

Kenadee also loves to dance. She is on the competition team and loves every second of it. It is so fun being a "dance mom" and watching her at all of her performances. I have a feeling I will be doing a lot more of it for years to come!

Her birthday was April 27th (I am a little behind as usual). Love you so much Ken!!

My Grandma Nelson. I LOVE her!!

Grandma and Grandpa Cookie (Hansen). Aren't they so cute!

Kenadee HAD to have a Tangled cake. I thought it turned out so cute!

Birthday girl!

No kisses for you! ha ha

Isn't he such a stud! :)

Vegas Baby!

2011-05-11T13:56:00.000-07:00

Over spring break, we have started making it our little tradition to go to Vegas. Even though it's not the most kid-friendly place, we find fun things to do and have SO much fun! This year we took my mom, dad, and Nikki along for the fun. We stay at the Taihiti Village, which even with the slightly colder weather this year did not dissapoint.

Tenlee LOVED the water

I can't wait till we go back next year!

Jazz Game

2011-05-05T11:11:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago, Kenadee got to dance at a Jazz game with her competition team! She had SO much FUN!! This was the start of the competition season. I LOVE having a little dancer!

Waiting for game to start.

(yes, Chet is ALWAYS on his phone)

The Wedding

2011-03-24T15:07:00.001-07:00

The long awaited post is FINALLY here. THE WEDDING!! It was such an amazing, long, sad, happy, emotional, did I say long?...day. But man, it was a great! It's still hard to believe my little bro is married and has now joined the real world. I don't know if he is used to it yet; ya know, the having to pay for EVERYTHING by yourself! Welcome to reality.

The temple was my favorite part. There is something about sitting in the sealing room with all your loved ones (minus Nikki) witnessing a wedding. It was so awesome. We then walked around the temple and took some pictures. It was FREEZING if you weren't in the sun. Thankfully there was sun and it was a beautiful March day! The luncheon was at the Lion House and was delicious. After that, we had to speed home to get the kids in their cute red dresses. We then drove VERY fast up the Mountain Green for more pictures and the reception. It was such a great day and I am so happy to see my little brother get married to his best friend. They are so cute together and love each other so much. Congrats to Camree and Josh!!

We like taking pics of ourselves for some reason..
She was such a good girl the ENTIRE day! I couldn't have been happier.

My cute kids! Love them!

Too bad he's already married! Can't get cold feet now Josh!

9 Months!!

2011-03-10T08:38:00.000-08:00

I took Tenlee to get her picture taken at 9 months. I thought they turned out SO CUTE! (other than the scanning quality....sorry) Isn't she the cutest thing? I love her so much and couldn't imagine life without my little Tenlee Marie.

Weight...."Watcher" Right???

2011-03-02T11:33:00.000-08:00

On Monday I showed up at a new member weight watchers meeting. I have been there before. In fact, after having Kenadee AND Morgan I got frustrated not being able to lose the last 5 or so pounds. So each time I wound up at weight watchers, AND IT WORKED!!! It's been 9 months since I had my 3rd beautiful girl Tenlee and I have found myself in the same predicament, but this time it's more like 8 or 9 pounds. I have fought with myself for the past month or so because I want to lose the weight, but my motivation as far as eating better hasn't been there until Monday. That is when I decided it was time, time to take control and remember how to eat better and get the rest of this baby weight off.
I excitedly walked into the building ready to go.....but they didn't seem ready for me. The last two times I did it I didn't feel welcomed at all. Luckily it only took me 2-3 weeks of doing the program to lose the weight, so I stopped going. Each time, and Monday was no exception, they made me feel as if I am an alien and have no right to be there. Not only do the other ladies that are there to lose weight give me weird looks and whisper to their friends, but the ladies that WORK there treat me the exact same way. Monday night was a lot worse than my two previous times going. I walked up to the counter where you sign the papers, pay your money, and get all the information. I stood there for a good 5 minutes waiting to be helped. The two women behind the counter watched me walk in and immediately looked at the desk PRETENDING to have something way more important to do. How do I know this? Because as soon as this heavier woman walked through the door a few minutes later, they greeted her with open arms and started getting her all signed up. I was beyond frustrated!! I continued to stand there, and FINALLY one of the ladies said "Can I help you?" I told her I want to sign up..."This is a new member class isn't it?" She shook her head and said yes. She proceeded to tell me, "Well honey you look so tiny so I'm gonna have to weigh you first and see if you even qualify to do it." ARE YOU SERIOUS? She should just be happy to take my money...right? No! She weighed me and looked at her charts. Everyone has a range for their age and height at what is considered to be a "normal, healthy" weight. She told me I could do it, but they would only let me lose 8 lbs because that puts me at the lowest "healthy" weight. I explained to her I have done this 2 times before and am perfectly aware of that. I know I am not huge and don't have a ton of weight to lose, but MY "normal" is not where I am at now. My goal is to just lose those 7-8 pounds to get to my pre-baby size. She listened to my spill and said ok she would sign me up. I was so mad at how they treated me! I TOTALLY understand that there are people bigger than me, but I need to be happy with myself RIGHT?? It is weight "WATCHERS" right?? I am not coming to be a twig or look too skinny. I am here to "WATCH" what I eat and be a healthier me.I am doing it to force myself to eat healthier and lose a few pound...then I'm done.
After I came home frustrated, I had to remind myself to stop worrying about what other people think of me. I am the one that has to be happy with myself! There are ALWAYS going to be people bigger than you, no matter what size you are! I can't worry about that, and worry about those people who might be mad because I am smaller and STILL think I need to lose a few. I am doing it for ME, not for anyone else. Sorry, just had to vent a little! ha ha

This Little Piggy

2011-02-15T15:39:00.000-08:00

For those of you who don't know, my cute future sis-in-law Camree grew up in Morgan on a farm. She has two pigs that recently had a lot of little piglets. I thought it would be fun to take the girls up there to see them! Fun was an understatement. Kenadee loved them, but Morgan LOVED them. She would have brought one home with us if I would've let her. She was so funny to watch! One of the baby pigs started pooping right next to her and she thought it was the coolest, funniest thing. Not only did she stay in the pig pen, she rolled around in there with all the babies. (Disgusting, I know) She had fun though! Kenadee kept trying to be the mom, like always, and would say "Morgan, don't get too close. Morgan be careful." Morgan was a little braver than Kenadee! Thanks Cam for letting us hold your adorable baby piglets.

(Josh told me while we were up there that Camree thought most people have seen baby pigs. He had to educate her telling her that MOST people haven't seen baby pigs!)

One of the mom's that was due in a couple of days.
Feeding her babies.

Morgan jumped right in!

So funny!

How cute are they, seriously! The only piglets I have seen is on Charlottes Web!

ENGAGED!!

2011-02-03T08:22:00.000-08:00

It happened a couple months ago (aparently I forgot to tell a few people...oops!). Here are a few pictures of the cute couple. I couldn't be happier to be adding Camree to the family. I always warned Josh he'd better find someone I get along with, and he did just that. She is now one of my besties! Love ya girl!!

The big day is March 11th!

Best Friends

2011-02-01T13:45:00.000-08:00

So Yes, this is my beautiful sister Nikki. I feel as though I should brag a little bit. She has been power tumbling since whe was 5 and LOVES it and is AWESOME at it. She had her first meet of the year on Saturday.....and she took 1ST PLACE!!! GO Nikki! I am so proud of her.

Have I ever told you how much I love this girl? She is my BEST friend and I am so lucky to have her as my sister!

Love ya Nik :)

SURPRISE!!!!

2011-01-26T08:41:00.000-08:00

So here are a lot of pics from Christmas Eve....which happens to be my second favorite day of the holiday season. We go up to Mantua where my Grandma and Grandpa Hansen live. All my dads brothers and sister, their kids, and their kids come. It NEVER dissapoints, and this year was no different. The pics ended up in a random order and I am to lazy to fix it! Enjoy!

Every year all the cousins end up playing some weird amazingly fun game my cousins John and Aubrey teach us. This year my siblings and I were excited to have the game to teach. It is called Ninja. It is the funniest game to play, and might be even funnier to watch....i mean c'mon, you cant tell me they don't look ridiculous! We spent a LONG time entertaining everyone while playing this....maybe one day I will share the rules so you can play too!

Nikki is really good at it and usually ended up in the final two!

John being....John! And we love it!This is how the game begins. Lighting it up!

My cousin Aubreys husband John...should I be worried??

OOPS!!

2010-11-24T15:06:00.000-08:00

I was going through my pictures and realized I never posted Morgans birthday pictures! I know, I am terrible. It's never too late is it? Well, my little Morgy turned 3 on September 24th. She is the cutest little thing and I LOVE having her around. She is constantly making me laugh. Some of her favorite things are: anything dora, anything hannah montana, singing to taylor swift, dancing,and playing outside. I love her so much!

Here are some pictures from her parties. It is so hard to get everyone together on the same night, so we had a Thomas party and then a Hansen party on her actual birthday. She had so much fun!

Morgan and Kembrie

Some of the Thomas cousins. They LOVE playing together!

She HAD to have this cake!

Tenlee is my little chunker!!

13th article of faith

2010-10-24T14:20:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to share this video and song of Jenny Phillips. I LOVE the song and was able to be in the studio while some of it was recorded. Jenny is so talented and I am so lucky to be able to be a part of her fireside group. Some of you have been asking me when Jenny's cd comes out that I was able to sing on. It is finally done and you can purchase it on her website at jennyphillip.com. It is called Sabbath Morning. It was all done by our firside group and is such a good Sunday cd to listen to. I am also on Remember the Journey which you can purchase on her website as well.

Hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. It is going to be on her young women cd coming out soon.

Summer Project

2010-10-22T13:09:00.000-07:00

I am WAY behind on my blogging. I could blame it on having three kids that take up most of my time...yes that is what I am going to blame it on! Hopefully one day I will get caught up. I thought I would share one of our many summer projects.

One day I got this crazy idea that we should put our trampoline ground level. Sounds like a good idea, right? I don't think it was until it was finally finished that I still thought it was a good idea. We rounded up my dad, brother, and my friends husband to do the job. Kenny was nice enough to dig the hole with the tractor. With a few minor setbacks, we had the project complete a week after we started! After the tramp was done, we got a fence put in. Now I actually feel like we have a backyard. If you know where I live, you know that everyone that drives below my house looks up at all the houses on the hill. I hated not feeling like I had ANY privacy, so the fence was the best addition to our house. Here are the pictures from start to finish. We still have some work next spring to get the grass back to normal, but it is so nice to have done. The kids love it, and I love that I can send them out back and not have to worry about them!

Eight Years

2010-10-04T11:19:00.000-07:00

Eight years, three beautiful girls....I am one happy girl!! I am so lucky to have met Chet and be able to share our lives together. He truely is the BEST husband and father anyone could ask for. Although we were both a lot younger and skinnier back then, I fall more in love with him every day that goes by.

(sorry for the not so great pic, my scanner didn't do a very good job)

Thanks to the past 8 years and many more to come! Love you Chet.

While Ken Is Away.....

2010-09-14T16:19:00.000-07:00

This is what we do while Kenadee is at school.....

LOVE this girl!

First Day Of Kindergarten!!

2010-08-30T11:50:00.000-07:00

Well, the day finally came. I thought I was ready for it, but boy was I wrong. It is harder than I thought to send your first one to school! She was definetely ready though. She catches the bus down the street from my house, so I I loaded up the kids and drove her down there. We got there 10 minutes early because I wasn't sure the exact time the bus was coming. It was freezing outside so I was planning on just sitting in the car until we could see it coming, but that wasn't Kenadee's plan at all. She was way to excited and wanted to get right out and wait. When we could finally see the bus coming, she said "Mom, I'm all jiggly I am so excited!" I laughed pretty hard....and then might have shed a tear or two. She was happy to see a couple of her friends already on the bus and jumped right on. She did turn around though so I could get a picture. She is getting so big and I am so proud of her!!

Morgan Is gonna miss her

big sister!

Saying goodbye....

Waiting patiently for the bus.

Finally, it came!!

It was sad to watch it drive away.

When I got back in the car, Morgan wanted to know when her bus was coming so she could go to school. I told her she wasn't allowed to grow up and ride the bus, which didn't make her happy at all! I love my kids. They grow up way too fast!!

The BEST weekend Ever!

2010-07-13T13:09:00.001-07:00

My cute little family.

We had the best weekend. It was stressful, but it turned out awesome! We blessed Tenlee on Sunday. We were lucky to be able to have Chet's brother in town from Arizona to participate. It meant so much to Chet to have him there. We missed his wife though, who was in St. George with her sisters. So many came to support us. We are truely blessed to have so many people in our lives that love and care about us. Thanks to everyone who came!

Shake Your Groove Thing

2010-06-30T08:56:00.001-07:00

Kenadee recently had her dance recital. I was so proud of her, she did such a good job. I have a feeling there will be many more years of this!!

Getting ready to leave.

With her cousins

She had so much fun! Next year Morgan will be up there too. Should be interesting...

Tenlee Marie Thomas

2010-06-12T13:51:00.000-07:00

She is FINALLY here! Well, it has already been 2 weeks. (I am a little slow) She was born May 26th at 3:59 pm, weighed 6lbs 9oz and 19 inches long. She is perfect and we couldn't have asked for things to go better. So many people warned me of the dreaded 3rd child and how much harder it is. I guess I am lucky, but it hasn't been too bad yet. Maybe because my other 2 are angels (most of the time). They are the biggest helpers. Ask me again in a couple months...things might be different!

(more pics and info to come)

Happy Birthday!

2010-05-10T13:31:00.000-07:00

Kenadee recently had a birthday. She turned 5!! I can't believe I seriously have a 5 year old. It makes me feel so old. She is getting so big. I thought I would list a few things she is up to and will be doing in the next few months:

takes dance and LOVES it

recently sang a song for a talent show(she has an awesome voice!!)

learning to read

finishing up preschool

waiting patiently to be another big sister

getting excited to start kindergarten (I'm not though)

loves riding her new bike outside (if the weather would just be warm!)

Here are a few pictures from her party at the building. She had a blast!

Happy Birthday Kenadee! I love you so much!!

Vegas Baby!!

2010-04-23T08:00:00.000-07:00

We decided to take a little family vacation before the baby comes. Luckily my dad was able to trade in his time share so we were able to stay in the AWESOME Tahiti Village in Vegas. It is a huge resort with an amazing pool. Let me just say that if you love to swim or just lay out and catch some sun, this is the place to go. It is far enough from the strip that we didn't even have to cover the girls eyes too many times. We did go there one day to explore the M&M Factory. The girls thought that was pretty cool. They wanted to get some cool colored M&M's but Chet refused to pay $14 per pound. What a joke!! After that we decided to stop and eat at the Rainforest Cafe. The girls LOVED it. They sat and admired all the animals. Other than that, we swam the entire time. There was an awesome lazy river that was huge. Kenadee could have spent all day in the pool, and Morgan wanted to play in the sand the entire time. Needless to say, we had a blast and our 5 days there went by way too fast!!

We had so much fun and hope to make it a yearly tradition to go down there. Next time I will enjoy it more because I won't be pregnant!! I still had fun, but lets be honest...how pretty can you feel in a swimming suit when you're 8 months pregnant!!

Shiner

2010-04-19T19:46:00.001-07:00

So those of you that know Morgan, you would know how gracefully clumsy she is. Ok most of the time it isn't very graceful. She struggles running, jumping, skipping, and just plain old walking. The thing that kills me is that most of the time she runs into things while walking just because she is looking the other way. She forgets she is supposed to watch where she is going. And then there are the times she is just clumsy. Last night we were enjoying the nice weather on our back porch. I was cutting Chet's hair (which turned out great as usual) and the girls were playing. Morgan was WALKING and tripped on the crack in the cement. She fell face first, her head hitting the first step on the porch. This is the result of her carelessness....

Poor thing! The picture doesn't do it justice. Her eyelid is black and blue as well as underneath her eye. And then you have the huge bump that sticks out at least 1/4 inch from her face. Hopefully she learns to watch where she is going or else we are going to have some broken bones before the summer is over!

Easter...And Other Stuff

2010-04-06T14:57:00.000-07:00

I had to start off by sharing a few pictures from Morgan's first and last day at dance...at least for a few more months! I decided to take her and try it out after many weeks of begging when dropping Kenadee off to her class. She loves to dance, so I thought Why Not! She looks cute and innocent in these pictures, but I was chasing her around the other times and couldn't catch her in action. Let's just say she is not shy at all. She enjoyed her time there mingling (or bugging...whatever you wanna call it) with the other kids in the class. She followed the teacher around trying to be her little "helper" instead of staying on her sticker like she is supposed to. All the other mom's there laughed and commented on how cute she is. I was irratated! Needless to say, I decided we will wait till she is 3 and give it a try again. Maybe she can follow the rules then.....YA RIGHT!! ha ha

As for Easter, it was so much fun! The kids loved all 4 easter egg hunts they got to participate in. The Easter Bunny did make it to our house, and the girls couldn't have been more happy. All I ask is that next year the Easter Bunny shop maybe a week or two early so we get don't get robbed on the variety of candy! There were no Peeps, no chocolate covered egss, no Reece's peanut butter cup eggs; all the good stuff was taken! The girls didn't care though. They loved it anyways.

At the Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma's, there was an egg on the trampoline. Kenadee and Skyler raced to get to it first. Skyler wasn't too happy when Ken beat him!

We colored eggs with the girls and they loved every second of it.

What a Guy!

2010-03-11T08:44:00.000-08:00

Chet had to go to Florida for work for a few days this last week. I was so jealous he got to go to the warm weather! He golfed at a famous golf course (don't remember the name) and loved every second of it. He stayed near Disney World, so I think to make us jealous he sent us this picture. When I showed it to Kenadee she said, "Mom when do I get to go there?" We still haven't taken the kids there or Disney Land. Maybe one day we'll make it there! When Chet got home, the girls were so excited. Kenadee is a daddy's girl and missed him so much. He surprised them with a huge lollipop that was about as big as Morgan. He also got Kenadee her very own purse. She already rounded up a bunch of change to put in it. She told us that she has a lot of money now so if we need to borrow any, that would be fine with her. What a girl! Morgan got a princess backpack which she loves so much. She puts all of her favorite treasures in it and pretends she is going to school. They are so lucky to have such an awesome dad that spoils them so much!!

She just had some orange drink and had a pretty sweet mustache!

Showing off what they got!

Morgs has the BIGGEST smile!

Thanks dad, you're the BEST!!

Internet: good and bad

2010-02-24T11:09:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I went to my regular pregnancy checkup and found out some not so great news. The umbilical cord only has 2 vessels. They normally have 3; 1 vein that carries all the nutrients and oxygen to the baby, and 2 arteries that carry the waste away from the baby. Mine only has 1 artery which is called a '2 vessel cord.' My doctor said it is nothing to lose sleep over, but c'mon really? I totally lost sleep last night and it is all I can think about. They checked the kidneys which can be a problem with only 2 vessels, and thankfully they look great. They did a targeted ultra sound and everything so far on the baby looks totally normal. He said he isn't too worried and this problem is pretty common. You can have a healthy pregnancy and baby with this problem. He said just as a precaution, he wants to see me every 2 weeks for the next month and then every week until I have the baby. They just check the weight of the baby at every ultra sound to make sure she is growing on schedule. Sometimes with only 2 vessels, the baby's growth slows down in the 3rd trimester. If this happens they would have to start me a few weeks or so early.

After finding all this out, I was a little freaked out. Being the retard that I am, I came straight home and looked on the internet. What I found made me freak out even more. I HATE the internet!! lol After my long talk with the doctor, him reasurring me everything should be ok, I felt good about it until I got home and read everything that 'could' happen. Why do I do that to myself. I hope and pray everything turns out ok! After going through my 2nd misscairage before this pregnancy, it has made this even harder for me. I fear the worst! Any comments and advice are welcome!! I will keep you all updated on how it goes!

Isn't she cute though!!

My New Nephew

2010-02-19T15:51:00.000-08:00

Baby Daxton is here. Brandi had boy #2 Wednesday at 4:48 p.m. He was 9 lbs 21 in. I still haven't gotten to hold him and it is KILLING me!! The hospital didn't allow kids up there and I never could find a babysitter. She just got home tonight so I am going over there whether they like it or not! I took this at the hospital right after she had him and will put more on after I hold him tonight.

Live Like You Believe

Most of you know that I am in a fireside group with my friend Jenny Phillips. She is so talented! She writes amazing music and has even written a short book. It has been so much fun being able to go to different wards and stakes all over Utah and share my talent and the gospel. Jenny wrote this song and just finished a video to go along with it. I thought I would share it with everyone. It would be awesome to use in a Young Women or Relief Socitety lesson, or you can just watch it...it is totally worth it! Hope you enjoy!

The Return of Elder Hansen

So I thought I would fill those in who didn't already know. My brother is FINALLY home from his mission. Ok, so he has been home for 3 months but I am still so excited about it. We have always been such good friends, so 2 years seemed like FOREVER. He served in California and loved it, but we are so glad he is back. Kenadee missed him so much. He was her absolute favorite person, besides Nikki. We have been enjoying having him around. We spend hours playing Super Mario Bro. on the WII and feeding him and his friend Tyker. Chet tries to relive his "single" days by giving them girl advice...we'll see if any of it works!

We waited patiently for the plane.

Just off the escalator...feeling a little overwhelmed!

Meeting Morgan for the first time.

Before He Left.....

( I was huge and prego, due in 2 weeks!)

Best Buds.

Josh, we are so glad you made it back safely! We missed you so much!!

Morgy sat on Santa's lap and didn't even cry...all she cared about was what was in his bag!
The girls with daddy.

And with Mommy.

They LOVE to play dressup.

The tunnel and hut they played in for hours!

Christmas Time

Christmas was a blast. Santa made it to our house and brought WAY to much stuff! The girls were so cute and loved everything they got.

It's About Time

It's never to late to start, right? Well after everyone kept bugging me, I finally gave into peer pressure. I don't know how good I will be at this but I guess I will try. I have spent countless hours already trying to design my blog, and still have a LONG way to go......
