More Pictures!!

I can't believe how the time flies. Brynn is now 2 months and is full of smiles but none on camera. Cassidy is loving school in parent teacher conference her teacher told me she is a joy in class and very bright. She loves to draw pictures, color, cut, and glue. I have gotten in so much trouble for throwing pictures away. Caleb has done some funny things lately he makes up stories about animals eating each other I guess to much discovery channel. He also said to me the other night, "I'm going to fight crime mom." Then said, "What's crime?" I gave him some toast with butter and went to do something with Brynn when I came back the whole stick of butter was on the toast. He said I wanted the big butter mom.

Brynn's Blessing and Pictures!

Here are some pictures! We blessed Brynn a little earlier than normal so my parents wouldn't have to come back in bad weather. Everything went great!!




I was finally able to get a picture with Jason's Dad holding the baby though it took some convincing.




Dad and Brynn how cute!

Summer, and whatever else!!

So, I am a horrible blogger which I knew from the start but now I am going to attempt a very condensed version of our summer. So here are some highlights from the summer which went by way too fast.
Caleb's broken arm ( Boys, will be boys and trampolines)
Cassidy's new saying "I show my butt to birds" ( Sometimes you never know what will come out of their mouths)
Hansen Family Reunion at Heritage Park ( So great to see everyone we had so much fun)
The baby's room (why do I make things too complicated thanks to Tiffany couldn't have done it without you)
Tons of Popsicles
Climbing tree
Picnics
Shopping in Park City ( Never enough time to shop especially with kids and husband)
Library ( My new favorite spot)
Cassidy getting stung 10 times by yellow jackets ( Scary!! and so much screaming)
Movies
Loving air conditioning
My kids like fireworks this year
Jason Fishing ( He went more than once I was beginning to wonder if he would ever go)
Straley Family Reunion ( Caleb's precious snake, and break dancing)

Cassidy's Birthday

I just wanted to show some pictures from Cassidy's Birthday. We were going to go to Chucky Cheese but Cassidy got sick with a terrible flu bug that ended up going through the whole family. Grandma Barrows got her this adorable dress in the picture and we made party hat cupcakes and Cassidy just had to have a cake so we made a little heart cake so that she could blow out the candles. Jason and I probably sang her Happy Birthday at least 5 times if not more so she could blow out the candles again and again. She got a lot of fun stuff including a Hananah Montana Barbie that sings "I got nerve". Which Cassidy and Caleb wouldn't stop playing(don't you love grandma toys) but by the end of it we had a dance routine to the song. I can't believe how the time flies, Cassidy will be going to Kindergarden this coming fall. We also have exciting news, Jason will be going to U of U Pharmacy school in the fall, we feel truely blessed and know that the Lord is continually watching over us. I am also pregnant and will be having a baby in September. I am not looking forward to being pregnant all through the summer with no central air. Hopefully we will be able to do something about that soon. We got central air. Hooray!!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

I just took these pictures around Christmas time but I never got to putting them on. We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This year was great and full of memories. I will just share a few quick stories starting with Caleb. Caleb has so much energy he is running around doing somersaults, jumping off the bed ( or anything he can), acting like pretty much any super hero; at the moment Ironman, Batman, or Darthvater, and for the most part is a happy go lucky kid. One of my favorite stories about Caleb was having him discover his body. Glenda, Braylee, and Lilly came on vacation here last summer which was so much fun. While they were here they learned just how much Caleb loved playing with balls (football, basketball, soccer, etc.) he would refuse to wear shirts unless they had some sort of sports team or ball on them. So one day when I was changing his diaper he discovered that he had two balls down there of his own and was very excited about it. So he comes running out of the bedroom yelling I have two balls right here. My sister and her kids and Jason's aunt and her kids were there to witness the discovery that Caleb made of his balls. After that he would constantly be telling people about his discovery because he was so excited about it. Luckily it only lasted a short time and he stopped telling everyone but we got a kick out of it.
Cassidy is my little princess. She loves to dance, spin, twirl, jump, get her nails done, have tea parties, going to preschool, and play with her brother, she is mommy's little helper. Cassidy is extremely scared of Santa she wouldn't sit on his lap or even be in the same room with him present. One day I went to pick Cassie up from preschool and she immediately came to get in the car which is very unusually she will usually play with her classmate and I will have to threaten her to get in the car. So we get in and I ask how her day went and she got upset but wouldn't talk about it. Cassidy will always ask what the agenda is for the next day so when I would tell her about going to preschool she would get upset and start crying. Come to find out her teacher was doing a count down to when Santa was coming and so she was scared Santa was coming that day. What can I say my kids don't do well with grown ups in costumes. As you could see with Spiderman maybe Chucky Cheese isn't such a good idea for Cassidy's birthday.
Jason and I have been in school most of the year. Jason is graduating this spring with his bachelors in health administration services which he is so looking forward too. I am hopefully graduating at the end of the summer this year. Jason has been put in the Sunday School presidency and I am now in the Young Women's with the Beehives which has been fun. Jason just interviewed withe U of U School of Pharmacy and we are anxiously waiting to see if he has been accepted or not. We'll keep you posted.
