Greetings from Green River, WY!!!

We got hitched!





After the wedding, we went on a honeymoon to Jackson Hole, WY.

Jay, Eric, Phil, Wade... step your game up

Spring Break

I know after seeing these few photos you will all wish you were living in Arizona, at least in the spring. These are pictures we took during the girls spring break, which was March 14th. The girls were enjoying the trampoline that Syd and Lex let them borrow. It ended up being so hot that they couldn't enjoy it without without the sprinkler. Thank you Mel and Jay for lending us the tramp for a few month, Taylor and Katie are really enjoying it.

Okay, I admit, you are better than me!!!

Jen, I knew when I set this blog up that you would be the one person to keep up on it, thank you, I truly appreciate seeing your picture and keeping in touch with your family. I have a new goal to check the blog at least once a week and to post pictures at least once a month (even if it's pictures of my grass that is finally filling in). Family is more important than anything and I love being able to see photos of everyone. Thanks to all the family who post!

Lots of love sent from Arizona!!!

Camping for 4th of July in California

They are available for Monday, July 4th check-in so would you want to camp Monday-Wednesday? What days could Billy get off work? When is Jayson out of the states?

Happy belated THANK YOU to Billy & Tara for babysitting our boys while the hubby and I escaped for a night out to celebrate our anniversary!! We thank you both so much for staying up to watch our busy boy Styler while we made it a late night.

Also, thank you for having us over for the yummy home-cooked chicken tacos!!

Exciting baby news!!!

So news travels across the states...and yes, I do believe that the Hansen's have some very exciting news to share. I am so happy for you both and your family to be expecting a little girl!!! Kailey will finally have a little play mate or a least a new little doll to play with. Don't worry, I am not envious that you are having a girl because you have definitely had to be patient with having your boys first. Maybe someday we also might be blessed with a little girl too... Congratulations!!!

Any news?

I don't know if anyone still checks this - if you do, reply and let me know that I am not alone! I believe that Wade and Carisa have something they need to post...

It's a BOY

Bitter sweet day today in the life of a mom...finding out I am pregnant with my 3rd BOY!! So I guess three times is NOT always a charm!! We are just blessed to have the opportunity to have another healthy baby!
