Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday was Monday, and I was spoiled! Ryllie made me a pretty (pretty crazy) bead necklace and a card. Casey bought me a treadmill! I am sooo excited, I've been wanting one forever, and have been wanting to get back in shape. It is sweet with a fan, and a TV, I am loving it already. He also took me to Chef's Table for dinner and to a movie. We had a great time. I love birthdays because I don't have to cook or clean! Ees da best! I love it! (I'm trying to write this so you read it like Nacho Libre. Did it work?) Here's a cute picture of my kids on my birthday.-

Hadlie's new trick

So, I don't know quite how to do the whole video thing yet, so here is some pictures of Hadlie doing her new spitting trick. Anybody know how to spell the sound effects? Something like ppplllbbbffppllbb. Ha ha! Just try to imagine what that sounds like and that is Hadlie's new trick!

End of School Slumber Party!

Casey had gone with the boyscouts for a campout, so I told the girls they could have a sleepover. Cousins Jordyn & Leah, and friends Hallee and Hailey came over. They watched movies, ate icecream and popcorn, and at 9pm decided to run through the sprinklers that had turned on in the front yard. I thought it was pretty funny, sounds like something I would have done when I

was a kid.

Ryllie's Kindergarten Graduation!

Ryllie & Mrs. Burk

Ryllie loved her first year of school. Her teacher Mrs. Burk was fabulous, and she met many new friends! I wish I could have been more involved with her class, but with my younger kids it wasn't going to work. The room mother asked me if I could bring some punch for the graduation, and as I was sitting there listening to the teachers talk I panicked! Yes, I forgot the punch! So I frantically grabbed Max, Cy, & Hadlie and we ran to the nearest gas station and got back within 10 minutes, just as the program was ending! I have become so forgetful! So I missed half the program, but at least everyone was hydrated. The dance festival was also a lot of fun. Ryllie loved performing for all the parents.

Memorial Day Weekend in Scofield

Every year our family goes camping up in Scofield on the 22 acres of land the Hansen family has. The weekend is always a "whoever wants to come, come" open invitation. Most years we have quite a few friends and family come up, but I knew this year would be different because well, hmmm, who really wants to camp in SNOW! Not me! Casey says, "We are going, it's tradition." So I loaded up the trailer and off we went. When we pulled into the property it looked like this.

Yes, my kids are building a snowman, I felt like I was in Idaho again with all this snow at the end of May.

Kenice's family joined us Saturday for the afternoon, and then Marshall and Noelle came up that night and ended up staying until Monday with us. We ended up having a blast, and the fishing was killer. They found the sweet spot and Cy and Summer both caught their first fish, and their second fish, and their third fish, and you get the picture.

What cute kids!

HANSEN BARBER SHOP

So here is the story... Maddux and Ryllie come out of the bathroom with a small pair of scissors and Max's hair looks like this. I say, "Max, what did you do to your hair?" She says, "Ryllie told me to!" (My kids are experts on the blame game). I say, "Ryllie, did you tell her to cut her hair?" Ryllie responds, "I just told her to cut off the whispys hanging in her eyes." I proceed to try really hard not to laugh, that didn't work very well. I start to tell them that to cut hair you have to go to hair school to learn how and that even grown ups can't cut hair unless they have been to hair school.

When Casey came home, we talked again about how not everyone can cut hair. Casey starts to get more animated as he grabs a pair of scissors and starts to say, "Oh, you all think anyone can cut hair, let me cut your hair." The girls start to squeal and say "don't cut our hair!" Casey continues, "Well if anyone can cut hair, I guess I can too!" Then he takes the scissors to his own head and cuts a couple of clumps of his own hair and asks, "how does it look?" By this time, I am laughing so hard and cannot believe that he actually snipped his own hair off. The girls were laughing too. Here is a picture of the damage.

So after all was said and done, Casey had to shave his head!

Interesting Outfits!

Ryllie wore her life jacket for the dance festival at school.

Cy! You are a BOY!

Nice boots! Great for going to a swimming party!
