Happy Birthday Tucker...We miss you!

On Sunday it was my nephew Tuckers birthday..he turned 7. We sure miss you Tuck and think of you all the time. Lisa and Charlie were here in Twin- we decided to take balloons down to the falls and let them go..I'm sure he got them. Tuck loved balloons and the Happy Birthday song so we sang Happy Birthday as we watched the balloons going up. I think it was perfect. The falls are beautiful and it is really peaceful down there.

The falls...look at the pretty rainbow..
Lisa and I...I hope your day was good..love ya
The Smith Clan...aren't they the cutest?
Watching the balloons going up.... They're for you Tuck-we love you so much!

I am so excited! If any of you know what Twilight is..which I'm sure you do. I stole this picture from my sister's friend-Thanks Betsy! They are getting ready for the movie of Twilight..can't wait. This is a picture of Bella and Edward...it is so fun to see real life characters..Let me know what you think and if you haven't read Twilight...start tonight!

Superbowl Sunday...

Three little girls and there babys...Paige, Savannah, Abbey, Berkley, Isabelle and Zane!

Hot Chics....Jana, Christy and Rachelle!!
Very excited men...Can you tell? The good parts hadn't come yet!
Yes here are some more hubby's...to much fun!
Kelly and Heidi....love the smiles- they are so cute!
Dara, Lisa, and Me...Fun friends- I think they are all the best! We had a bunch of friends over for the superbowl..It was a lot of fun. I have to say- it wasn't until about 20 minutes before it was over that I actually paid attention. I think socializing is much more fun then the game..but it did turn out to be a great game and I am proud to say I figured out who won with my very helpful friends! Thanks everyone for hanging with us- it was wonderful!

Snow Night!!

Ok...So, Last week there was a day it snowed all day long-unbelievable! I haven't seen it snow this much in one winter the whole time I've lived here but anyways my kids didn't figure out how much fun they could have untill about 7pm..a little late if you ask me. They dragged the 4wheelers out and sleds and decided to give rides to each other and Haley(our next door neighbor and Ab's friend). They had a great time and it was fun to watch... I guess it's always good to get some snow even if I am already ready for Summer!

Pinewood Derby 2008

Braeden, Taryn, and Brandon...Having lots of fun at the derby.
Lookin good Braeden..what a cool car!(Thanks Grandpa Hansen)
Yes, Abbey had to make one to..She was able to race it at the end- boy was she happy!
Getting ready to race...Braeden had his last pinewood derby last week. It did pretty good..It was a really cool car- it just didn't go very fast..Great job Braeden!

Skiing with friends...

Braeden felt left out because he didn't get his jump picture in along with Hunters...So, here he is- isn't it the best jump ever??love ya Braed!

This is the cute bunch we had skiing with us..My three and my friend Lisa's two ( Paige and Justin )... We had so much fun with them!

Remember this picture..notice the big rock in the middle with three little dots next to it.

I didn't mean for this pic to get in here..but notice the great form...Great jump Hunt!
Paige and Abbey-they are the cutest and best little skiiers around!!
Ok..this is the rock in the first picture..All three of the boys jumped off it..While I was on the lift...naughty little boys and there crazy little toys(skis). This is Hunt by the way..
I guess it's Braedens turn...good thing they didn't tell me they were going to do this.
Ok, so now I need to apologize to my wonderful friend Lisa...He looks great though...don't ya think and no broken bones..Love ya Lis!

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Hunter turned the big 12 on January 4...He is getting so old..I wonder what that says about me???? He was so excited to go to a CSI game the night of his birthday( not really) so we made it up to him on Saturday and he got to go skiing..much better. Grams and Gramps Hanks came up for the weekend and were able to be spend some time with us. Thanks for coming mom and dad! Happy Birthday Hunt- we love ya tons and are so proud of you.
