Best Friends

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!!!!

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!

OOPS!!

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

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

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

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.....

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

LOVE this girl!
