Disneyland Trip with the Hansen's


We had a great time in Disneyland with most of the Hansen Family. I am lucky to have married into such an amazing family. They are the best!

Girls Weekend in St. George






We spent spring break weekend with just the girls. We had a lot of fun shopping, going to the dinosaur museum, eating, walking the temple grounds and best of all relaxing by the pool.

THE GROTTO



For Labor Day we took a quick hike with Mark's family to the Grotto.  It was great escape for the morning.

WDW Character Parade

This is the pictures with their favorite characters from our Dineyworld Trip.  We had an amazing time.  I need to sit down and write down some of our favorite memories when I find a second.  Both of them loved seeing the characters and having them sign their autograph books.  Luke loved seeing Buzz, Lightning, Mater and Stitch but his favorite was Jasmine.   I thought I was going to have to pull him away from her.  Sydney loved Daisy, Timon and Cinderella of course.

Christmas 2008

                                                                  Christmas Morning

(The kids let us sleep until 8:00.  We had Grandpa, Grandma and 
                          Amanda up for  breakfast.)

                                                                Lights on Temple Square 
         with my family

                                                                Our version of the nativity

                                       Charlene and Marylynn's families came from out of town.
It is so much fun when Mark's family all get together.                                       
  
Wow!  It has been a crazy month.  Time has been flying by so fast.  We have barely had a second to slow down this holiday season.  We had a lot of fun spending time with family and friends.  We kept Christmas a little simpler this year, and it was great.  The kids were so good.  Sydney loved her Leapster and Luke has greatly enjoyed his train set.  Of course they were spoiled by wonderful grandparents.  They really got into GIVING this year which was so fun to see.

Shelby

This weekend was a sad one for our little family.  Our dog Shelby has had cancer in her leg for a couple of months and had been doing pretty well up until the last week.  It appears the cancer had spread to her brain and she was unable to walk and was in a lot of pain.  Mark and I decided it was time to have her put to sleep on Saturday.  Even though we knew it was coming, it was a lot sooner and harder than I had anticipated.  Shelby has been a part of our family since April 1999, over 9 1/2 years.  Neither Mark or I have ever had a pet that long.  She has been such a light in our life.  I think she had the biggest heart of any animal I've ever known.  She loves everyone!  Sometimes a little too much.  She has even loved our dozens of cats and bunnies that have come and gone through her time with us.  Sydney and Luke will miss her greatly since she is the one they always want to go see when they are mad at us.  Mark buried her under a tree on the river on the lot we hope to build our home one day.  We will miss her greatly and we are so thankful she has been a part of our lives.
