Spring Break in St. George..

For Spring Break this year we headed south to St. George. It was fun to go visit family and be in the warm weather. We took the fourwheelers and went out to a fun riding place for the kids. They had a blast, there were tons of trails and even some fun jumps for the boys with there motorcycles. We also swam quite a bit which was nice just to chill by a pool. Thanks Grams, Gramps, Jami and cousins for a fun weekend! Grandma and Brenley riding fourwheelers..
Ab and I..she wanted to take me on a ride...

Brandon and the boys..they took us up to a hill that had really fine red sand..so pretty!

Planet cheer at the Salt Palace..

A big Thanks to everyone that showed up for Ab's competition. She was so excited to see her Aunt Brit, Grams and Gramps Hansen and of course Grandma Hanks who hangs with us all the time. Once again they did awesome and got 1st place. They even were awarded the Cheer stick and a paid invitation to Nationals.. Brit, Me, Abbey and Brandon, Grandpa Hansen and Grandma Hanks!

A bunch of the girls hanging..


Abbey and Grandma and Grandpa Hansen..Thanks again for coming down to support her.



Aunt Britney and Abbey..she was so excited to have her there..after all thats where she got her inspiration to try cheerleading..Thanks Brit!










Rascal Flatts and Jessica Simpson..

A little while back we went to Salt Lake for another one of Abbey's cheer competition and were lucky enough to go with my inlaws to see Rascal Flatts and Jessica Simpson. I have to say a couple things about this concert first and formost Jessica Simpson is not heavy she is very skinny and dang cute..I do not know what they are talking about and second, Rascal Flatts does a great concert. They were awesome..Loved the show!

Skiing with friends..

About a month or so ago the kids had a day off so we decided to go skiing.. It was a great day..funny kids and lots of snow.
Braeden, Abbey, Hallie and Tanner

Braed and Tanner..aren't they so cute?


Hunter going crazy with his sis and neighbor sis..








Abbey's cheer competition at SLCC!

I have to say this picture is a little frightening. We went down to my mom's house for Abbey's third competition and were lucky enough to spend some time with my niece and nephew. I guess the newest craze down in Provo is to color your face with markers. Very funny! The next day was Abbey's competition, they did awesome! First place for all of them..Good job girls! Braeden, Stina, Abbey and Amy.. playing with markers

The team picture after winning..



My mom, Abbey, Me and Stina..girl picture!




Abbey and Jaylee..cute girls


I never thought the DS would be good for to much,,but it has come in pretty handy at the competitions!

Cruisin around...

In February we went on a cruise with a bunch of friends and family from work. I have never been on a cruise before so it was a new experience..I actually really liked it except for the room which was a tad bit closterphobic. We stopped at Catalina Island..which was a blast. It was the cutest town. Fun shopping and lots to go and see. We rented golf carts to see the scenic views...it did get a little dangerous with my hubby driving but neverless very entertaining! We then went to Ensanada Mexico where we rented Fourwheelers and headed out to play on the sand. After the day in Ensanada we had a fun day at sea..at least thats what we were told. Most of all it was fun to hang out with friends and family and eat to our little hearts content and of course see some really pretty new places. Brandon and I with Billie Jo and Todd Clark(overlooking Catalina Island and our ship)
Some of the girls..Holly, Jodi, Me and Shauna..

Cancun...ready to relax!

The beginning of January we left for Cancun...ready for a little fun and relaxation. The trip was first planned to be a business trip of sorts but at the last minute turned into a fun trip with our good friends the Pillings..they were nice enough to fill in for us at the last minute. We had a great time. It actually turned into a scuba diving trip for my husband and Kelly and Cory..So, for me I was able to sit and hang by the pool for a good part of the trip. We also drove into the main part of Cancun and met up with my inlaws and there friends and went out on a boat to snorkle and hang..it was awesome! We did spend most our nights in the little town next to our resort where there are great places to eat and lots of fun shopping..and of course the occasional fun picure taking with the natives..Hee-Hee! We were also lucky enough to go to Tulum..which are ancient ruins which were real fun to see.... The first night we were there..had to eat at Brandons favorite mexican joint!
This is where we stayed...I should say where I mostly sat and enjoyed the sun, water and really great books!

The view from my chair..Love it!


These next two pictures were taken at the Sands where we usually stay and where we met up with my inlaws to get on the boat..I just love how blue the water is and the white sand.



Kelly and Cory..Thanks for hanging with us and I am of course so proud of the new certified scuba divers!

At Tulum..Kelly and I posing behind the big temple..It really is so amazing to learn about the history there.
Brandon and I standing in front of the temple..so pretty!


Entering the ruins...This was the door to take you into the temple and where these people all lived..they were protected by these great walls.

Ok..so a little explaining is needed in this pic.No, Kelly and I didn't go out looking for some new men..My husband is actually taking the picture but it was very funny. These two were out taking pics for money so we had to help them out..they had tons of sparkles on with there costumes, Kelly almost wouldn't do it but I totally helped her out. Just had to have a little fun!

Yep same road as up above..these people will do anything for money! But this guy I have to admit was a tad bit scary upclose..We took the picture and hurried on our way.
