Sledding Fun!

Playing in the snow at Grandma and Grandpa H. was so much fun. I had a hard time getting the kids to come back into the house.

Bryce insisted on wearing the Dora hat.

Snow angles are so fun!

Here is the kitty kat snowmobile my Dad bought for the grand kids. The kids get on it and just go. It is the cutest thing you will ever see. Tanner is quite the pro.

Christmas Sunday

The Sunday before Christmas my kids opened then church clothes from their Grandparents.


Bryce looked like a little man in his suit

Tanner was asked many times if he was going to serve a mission.

Kenzie looked like a princess in her purple dress.

Merry Christmas!

Kenzie's Christmas Dance recital

Here's my little girl at her Christmas recital. It's to cute for words.

Giddy up Horsey!

Bryce came out of his room the other day galloping like a horse. It took me a second to realize that he had a little horse he was sitting on to ride. It was the cutest thing so I had to post it. Oh, and ever sense he has learned how to take his shirt off it is hard to keep shirts on him.

Bathroom Remodel

The remodel is done. Yippee!! We started on Saturday around noon and was done Saturday night at 9:30. I will admit that the kids were a little neglected.

The reason for the remodel was because one kid I babysat for pulled the towel bar out of the wall. This was about six months ago. That left us will a huge hole. So to fix it we got some bead board and trim to make a shelf. While we were at it I wanted to change the color so we went with a blue.

The bathroom turned out great and I love it. Kent who isn't much into color. Asked me what room I wanted to have painted next. So I would have to think that he like the way it turned out too. I think we will do the boys bedroom. Tanner wants it blue.

School Christmas Program

Tanner had his music program and did a great job. It was fun to hear him belt out the words.

When we first got to the school all kids had to be dropped off at their classroom. When Tanner walked in all the girls said, "Wow, Tanner you look awesome." His face went all red then one girl said, "You look like a lawyer." I would have to admit that he did look pretty sharp.

Where's Tanner? Can you find him? He's the cute one in the front row.

What a HOTTIE!

Potty Time!

We started potty training. So far so good. The first day he went in the potty about six times but also had about five accidents. The second day not one accidents and went in the potty several times. The third day which is today no accidents but still asking for candy after each potty brake. It will be a great day when he tells me when he needs to go and I don't have to remind him. Bryce is the youngest and the easiest out of all my kids that I have had to potty train.

Being persistent is the key.

Santa!!!

Santa came to our ward party. The kids were so excited.

Bryce and Makenzie were a little reluctant to sit on Santa's lap.

Jingle Bells!

Tanner and Kenzie practiced for two day the song they wanted to sing for the Ward Christmas Party. They made up their own moves and everything. It was pretty cute to see them working together. Enjoy!!!

Sorry the video is hard to see with the kids being so far away. It was out of my control. I just had to publish it because I was so proud of them.

Family Home Evening!

For family home evening we put up the Christmas tree. So the kids (with some friends that we watched) help us with the tree and the decorations. It was a lot of fun. But of course I had to do a little rearranging after the kids went to bed.

The kids love Christmas time and are already thinking about what they want from Santa.

Primary program day!

The kids had their primary program on November 23rd. They did a great job on their parts and loved that both grandparents and Uncle Kory were there. I think the kids wore out the grandpa's because this is what happened after we ate lunch.

GO DADDY GO!

The Mission:

Operation Saving Private Hebdon

The Goal:

To run 2 miles in under 15 minutes

The Deadline:

December 3rd

Kent has taken the challenge along with his siblings to help his younger brother who is in the military wanting to move up in his rank. The kids were there to cheer Daddy on.

Silly Bryce!

The first thing Bryce does when he goes outside to play is to find his HAT. (Bryce calls it his helmet because he is big time into motorcycles. I'm sure Kent has nothing to do with that.) I love how his ears stick out. He is so cute.

Halloween 2008

The kids were so excited to get all dressed up for Halloween. I've got my two little pirates and their pirate dog. At least that is what they called him.
At Kent's work they have a Halloween costume contest. Kent won 3rd prize dressed as a softball player. Of course there was only three people who dressed up. Ha Ha!

Halloween Carnival and Trunk or Treating at the Church






Next morning counting candy. Trying to decide who had the most candy.

Concrete Weekend

For the last three weeks Kent and I have been prepping our backyard to pour a bigger patio. So after digging dirt out and adding gravel we are ready for the concrete. The concrete truck got to our house around 8 saturday morning and we (meaning Kent and friends) wheelbarrowed concrete to the backyard. We had good help so it only took a hour to get the concrete in place. We also poured a pad for a future shed on the side of our house.

It might have only taken an hour to get the concrete in place but it took an additional five hours of smoothing to get it to look pretty. Thanks to my Dad for all his had work and knowledge of what to do.



Finished product.
We are now ready for the hot tub that has been sitting in our garage for the past few weeks.


The kids had to add themselves to the project. Of course it won't be just the five of us as of May 2009.

Soccer "KICKS"

Tanner had his last Soccer game on Saturday. He just informed me that... "I've decided I don't want to play soccer anymore. I just want to play basketball and baseball." I told him he was really good and soccer. He still seemed stuck on just playing basketball and baseball. I have already paid for spring soccer so I'll see what he decided in the spring. Tanner is number 2



Tanner's really into doing tricks with the ball to try and get it away for the other team. He is actually pretty good at it.

Bryce's 2nd Birthday!

Bryce is officially two years old. So now when you talk about the terrible two's he is most defiantly in that category. Bryce is our little "it's my way or the highway" kid. It is really hard to talk him out of something when he has his mind to do it or have it. We had a little birthday party for him and invited the grandparents to it. Bryce loved all the attention. I still can't believe my baby is 2.

Twilight Movie!

Yippee! The Twilight movie has been moved up to Nov. 21. I am so happy. Read the books they are very good. Just from watching the preview of the movie I know the movie will be good also.

Summer Highlights!

So now that there is only a week left of summer I am back to babysitting. (Abby 4, Ben 2) I will have them the whole school year. (their mom is an all day kindergarten teacher.) This summer went by way to fast. Some of the highlight of the summer.

June 2008

-swimming tons at a friends pool
- working on the yard; the fence is almost done.
-family reunion in Mattawa

-Truck torn apart sitting in my spot in the garage(not so happy about that)
-Tanner's birthday pool party
-July 24th last day of summer school for Tanner
-Continued swimming at a friends pool. (kids are getting very tan)
-Always working in yard.
-garden finally grows and we have a few zucchini and cucumbers(tomatoes not doing so good)
-Kids play with camera and some how learn to reformat it and we loss a year of photos. Not a happy momma. I guess it serves me right I need to print my picture more often and not just leave them on the memory card.

August 2008
-Finished playset for the kids and added little rocks as a finishing touch.(What a totally relief for me. The kids love the play set and play on it for hours)

Kent built and designed this play structure
-Olympics start (Tanner stays up late begging to watch more. He love the swimming events.)
-Tanner learns to dive off the side of the pool just like Micheal Phelps. (Two week later he teaches himself to swim using strokes. NO more dogie paddling. The Olympics are very educational.)
-Kent had his one year review at Amtech (we can now get vacation time.)
-Truck still in garage. It is now getting put back together. I just pray I will be able to park in there before winter sets in.
The end of August we are planning a trip to Portland for my cousins mission farewell. I'll let you know how that goes. It's been a great summer and I'm not quite sure I'm ready for it to end. I guess I have no choice. It will end whether I want it to are not.

Tanner's 7th Birthday!

Tanner had his birthday party at the pool and invited six of his friends. It was a pretty windy day but it didn't faze the boys one bit. I think they has a blast and Tanner enjoyed having all his friend together for his special day.

Hansen/Savage Family Reunion!

We had a wonderful time at our first reunion of the year. The reunion was on Kent's side of the family. We slept in tents and played with cousins we don't get to see that often. We played games, ate yummy food and listen to stories about Grandma S. Tanner and Bryce also loved riding the four wheelers.




THE WORLDS LARGEST SLIP-N-SLIDE
By far the highlight of the weekend. They spent hours running up and sliding down this homemade slide.

June 2008

Silly Sprinkler Fun!!!

The simplest things can entertain kids as well as adults. The kids had a blast running through the sprinkler. While Kent and I enjoyed watching them try and jump as high and they could. What cute little laughs they have. It was a great evening spent with the family.
