Happy Trails....

We said farewell to our Grandpa Hansen on May 27, 2011.



We know without a doubt that he is happily reunited with his sweetheart.





Military Honors were provided by the Box Elder County Veterans




Thomas loves to go Bowling






that pretty much sums it all up. If we could, he would make us go bowling every single day -- and even when we can't that doesn't stop him from asking if we can...(demanding, really).

the garage shelves

We got the garage shelves built in May!
Now the hard part is the organizing and decluttering, and ridding ourselves of the unwanted junk. That is taking longer than I would like, but we are slowly picking away at it. If we HAD to, we could fit one car in the garage right now -- we'd just have to push everything to one side. :)


where to start?

so much to catch up on --- I got pictures for ya!!!

here we go

Today, Grayson woke up fairly happy from his nap (it's getting to be a rare thing around here, so I love it when he does.) -- and I don't know why, but all he wanted to talk about were that I had green eyes (and then he'd try to poke his finger in my eye.)
so we talked about how his eyes are brown like daddy's and Thomas's are "mostly" green like mine (there's a mix of brown in there too).

yea, I know.....

I am a poor blogger lately.

I have lots of pictures of stuff that I wanna share on here, I just never have the time anymore. The boys have become little computer hogs.
- I even have a cute video of Grayson and Thomas sitting in the computer chair fighting
- I love when Grayson says "mine turn". It's amazing to me that my little 2 1/2 year old is so good at mouse clicking and getting the computer to do just what he wants it to.
- I am grateful for great sites like Disney Junior, PBS kids, and sesame workshop, for all the fun and educational games that the boys just can't get enough of.

so if it wasn't 11pm already I would blog about our trip to see the Thomas the Tank Engine -- but you will just have to wait another day or 2 or 10.

Next week starting on Monday I will be participating in a challenge that the stake gave the young women. For the week before camp they want us to do NO Texting, No computer socializing, and No TV. And have asked us to focus on listening to only church music, reading our scriptures, and looking for oppertunities to do service. When Tyson heard of the challenge, he at first thought I wouldn't do it. But once I told him I WAS going to do it, he knew I meant it.
anyone else think they could do it for a week?
he said he might try to join in to support me, but I challenged him with not playing one of his online games, since it's technically sociallizing, and he wasn't sure about that.... so stay tuned to find out how it went.

spring time

I know I have some catching up to do - but I just haven't got time at the moment. I did finally change the snowy blog banner, though, so that is a start.
The boys are sure keeping me busy, but I will be getting a small break tomorrow. It's national scrapbook day! And Tyson will be tending the boys all day, so I can scrap the day away (and maybe win a prize). I apologize to all of the people I had to say NO to, when they asked me to do something this saturday. Sorry, but it's my "mothers day gift" to enjoy my day.
