Spring Break...

For spring break I took the kids up to my Mom and Dads in American Fork. We had a great time. One of the highlights was our tour of the Sweets candy factory in Salt Lake. We actually saw candy being made, and got free samples. The kids and adults really enjoyed it. If you are in the area I would highly recommend going. Other than that the kids just played, played, played! Cami and I cooked a turkey Easter dinner, which turned out fabulous. One thing the Hansen's have down to an art, is roasting the most juicy succulent turkeys~ I guess that comes with raising them for years! Then we went to the Hansen's Easter party at the farm. It was the funnest party ever. I knew it would be, my Mom was in charge, and boy does she through a great partay! Here are some pictures I snapped at the party! Dalton, playing the quarter in the butt cheek game! This was so hilarious. We had three teams and 2 minutes. The object was to squeeze a quarter in your butt cheeks and walk down to the bucket and drop the quarter in. If your quarter dropped before the bucket you had to go back and start over. It was pretty funny.

We had a huge Easter egg hunt.

Tyra was after that candy hard core. She was climbing in the pine trees after it!

The little kids had a parachute with each of their names inside a plastic egg. They would ripple it and the last egg on got a prize. Then the kids were assigned animals and when their animal was called they would run under and trade spots. They absolutely loved it!

For the older kids we played the stick game. Everyone had a dowel and formed a large circle. When the whistle blew they had to leave their stick and grab their neighbors before it fell. This was fun too. They also played four square! Super fun games. Thanks mom for a great party and all of your hard work planning it!

Easter

Happy Belated Easter! This year for Easter it was during our spring break so we went up to my Mom and Dads to play with cousins and family! I am so grateful for my wonderful family! They are the best! I love spring time with all of it's awe and wonder of new life budding everywhere I look. It gives me a renewed sense of well being. I am so grateful for my savior and the gift of the atonement.

It was a great time. These are just a few of the pictures I took on Easter Morning. Cami and Jenny and I all made each of the kids these Easter Baskets. They were fun to make and kind of relaxing too.

Kennedi was last to find her basket. I a closet down stairs.


Stetsons was in a dorm fridge mom and dad had in storage downstairs.

Tyra! She loves puzzles and is really good at them!

Maverick was so fun this year....

The Easter Bunny left a trail of whopper eggs coming up the stairs and spelled "Luds" out of the eggs. Maverick went up and down the stairs about 20 times until he had collected a pile of colorful bunny poop!

We Won!!!!!!!

Justin and I golfed in a tournament on Saturday with Polly (a loan officer) and Robby (her son). It was a four man scramble and we took first place!!! We each won $100.00. Not only did we win, but I got my first birdie on a par 4. This was an amazing feat because I'm not very good at golf. We were all screaming with delight, and jumping on the green (oops) I didn't care I was amazed at myself. With all of the commotion you would have thought I hit a hole in one. Anyway it was a really fun day, and gorgeous weather. Now if only we could win our softball tournament tonight! Oasis Golf Course (we live on the number 1 green)

Up on an elevated tee box. Nice view!
