Potato Skins

2012-01-06T22:28:00.000-07:00

Rachel and I were talking about hobbies and how I need to have one. Since I love food and and I love my sweetheart I thought "why not start a cooking-date night." So, this is the start of many.

We were going to make Cina-Buns....but I didn't look close enough at the 3 hour time frame needed to prep. Starting at 8:00 pm would have made those tasty morsels too sweet to eat at 11:00 p.m. So we opted for some cheesy bacon potato wedges. I guess that I don't pay attention to detail as we had to use baked potatoes....right. I was gong to wait around for an hour, Rachel does have a bun in the oven and we didn't want her to get feisty.

So with a little help from the microwave, buy-buy nutrients, we got them finished up. It was a lot of fun cooking with my sugar plum. Looking forward to a whole bunch more dates....and food.

Sept 4th

We had another great week in the Hanson Home. Work was fantastic, expect that I had to go to get a paycheck. We haven't figured out yet how to not show up and still have money show up in our bank account. Monday night Cooper made an agenda for FHE, he was pretty excited to be in charge. I took them with me to YM to play tennis. They had fun until it was time to go. Tired boys aren't very fun to be around. Don't know where Logan saw this, but he wanted to dress like an "old man" with my clothes. Had to laugh.

I took Logan and Cooper "camping" with me last Saturday. We went to Rose pond and took out the canoe with Jade. After we figured out how to all balance, it was quite fun.

Thankfully none of us got wet. Rachel and I starting working on the Circle house again. We ripped all the wood panel out of the dinning room, it really lightened up the room. Rachel decided that we are not "library" people we are "office" people. So her wheels are spinning on upgrading the library shelves to an office.

FAIR TIME!
Logan, Cooper and LaRee were on the TaVaci float. They had an okay time, but the float was supper cool!

I am still enjoying 1 more month of no school until I start my classes back up for I.T. I think I am on track for the 14-15 year program. :) I also am on the State Distinguished Young Women Board. It is the program that Rachel does (Jr. Miss) but I volunteered to help. It has been fun working at that level to help the program. I am gleaning a lot from the other board members.

Here are some more pictures of our Summer:

Logan's Attempt to be funny at the Idaho Potato Museum.

We Love Donuts, it might be our family's favorite pastime.

Ree and Mommy...she loved it!

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

We went Geo-Caching by temple square...we were supposed to stick our hand down there........In a Wasp Nest?

Rachel is mixing her dance skills with home remodeling. This is in our dinning room and you can see the library in the back. Eventually Rachel's office.

Things are going fantastic for us. Rachel still adores me...thankfully. Everyone is pretty healthy and well. We really don't have much to complain about, but that doesn't keep us from doing it. lol. Oh yeah. GO BOISE!

For all who want to come this is a preview of the cuteness you'll see on Saturday. Logan, Cooper, & LaRee have a Tavaci concert at 3pm at the Blackfoot Performing Arts Center. Its free and you should all come just for fun...well any of you who are close enough that is. Lots of Blackfoot kids are involved. =)

Cooper Strikes

Check out the sweet video!

Rainy Day Fun

2010-05-27T21:41:00.002-06:00

Cooper and LaRee had a GREAT time today in the rain. Even when LaRee was shivering with cold, she still didn't want to come in until I coaxed her with a bath.

A little fun

2010-05-17T22:35:00.000-06:00

I actually got a little bow in LaRee's hair, so I had to capture it. Isn't she adorable! We love her!!

This was the night I didn't get to go to Hailey's play. LaRee and Tanner were so upset that they wouldn't go to bed either, thinking I was going to leave them, so we played. While I was cleaning, LaRee found gift bags and a doll and a flower that she stuck in the dolls hair. She went shopping with her baby. That's my girl!! =)

Here's our cute Tanner. And the messy picture was today. Tanner came to the dump with me, but he wasn't very happy, so I gave him a chocolate bar and he made quite the mess! Then the lady gave him a sucker and when I went to put him in the bath, I noticed he had "lost" his sucker. I had to cut it out. LOL

Kiddos

2009-12-14T22:49:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to post some picture of our cute kids! Tanner (6 months), Cooper (4), LaRee (18 months), Logan (7)

All Partied Out

2009-11-30T21:48:00.004-07:00

I left Tanner on the bed while I went to go make him a bottle. Well....he didn't last that long. He was asleep before I got back. =)

Thanksgiving Tea Party

2009-11-30T21:38:00.005-07:00

Grandma Rose is a member of the "Red Hat club" and her nieces love to dress up in her hats and scarves. Well, we have boys...till now, so we got to join the fun. The boys do too now, with grandpa's ties. She has a "tea party" with her nice china and each of the grandkids gets to pick out what tea cup they want. Then they go over manners and they eat daintily and carry on a nice conversation. It's quite cute. And LaRee was just hilarious. Joining right in with the conversation, nodding her head, laughing, smiling, and eating.

Here's our costume dressed family. BJ: Smartie Pants, Rachel: Airhead, Logan: Leonardo Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Cooper: Leonardo Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, LaRee: Cinderella, Tanner: Cow

CATCH UP!!!

2009-11-08T15:02:00.002-07:00

Here's our CUTE LaRee with her first piggy tails!

2009-11-08T14:53:00.004-07:00

Logan's class got to make a "fire" project for "fire awareness month." This was ALL his brain and his work. He even had a very detailed fireman in the driver seat of his truck. And notice the broken windows from the building with the fire coming out of it. He's very clever!

2009-11-08T14:52:00.001-07:00

Cooper decided to kick up his feet and read a good magazine. I hope he picked some good tires for us.

2009-11-08T14:49:00.002-07:00

Kisses for Tanner. And then STAY CLOSE! You never know when you'll get to sneak a snack from him. He's really good at sharing with his Big sister. (even though she's been off the bottle since he was born, she still likes to take his whenever she gets the chance)

2009-11-08T14:45:00.002-07:00

We had a back to school night and I was trying to have dinner done before we had to go. It wasn't quite finished, so I left it in the oven to cook for a few more minutes before we had to leave. But then I forgot it was in there and we left. We came home to a DELICIOUS dinner and a SCRUMPTIOUS aroma in our house.

2009-11-08T14:20:00.009-07:00

As long as she has her shoes on, it doesn't matter what else she wears. =)

Sunday Update

2009-08-09T19:29:00.002-06:00

Rachel and I went to the LDSBA this week. Thanks for all the help in watching the kidos! We had an exhausting time talking to over 75 retail stores about Glenn's books. Our books are supposed to be here this week, and should start shipping out the first of next week. It was great for us to be there an help on the learning curve in the LDS market. It is pretty strange.

We did stop and eat at the Mia Adventure right by the conventoin center. Our food was less then tasty but the show was amazing. It is a great place to eat, as long as you can find something that is good. ;)

Work on the desert was great this week also, I was only there two days. This week will only be two days also because of the reunion. It is lovely. Really glad that I have a job to go too, however high-schoolish it is.

Logan's wounds are almost healed up, leaving little scares on hiw knee and wrist. Cooper is as crazy as ever and LaRee is growing up to fast. Tanner still eats and poopes and sleeps. My wife is the best ever to take care of them.....ALL DAY! She does get the fun part of seeing them all do funny things however. Need to keep the camera rolling.

Thats life until next time.

2009-06-04T21:09:00.007-06:00

We celebrated LaRee's First Birthday today! My how time flies!! Its amazing that she is already 1 year old. We love her to pieces and she is just SO MUCH FUN!!!

Here's a little video of us singing happy birthday
to LaRee. She seems to quite enjoy the attention. =)

Here's another video of her stuffing her face.

Tanner Dalton Hanson

2009-05-29T14:02:00.002-06:00

It's official that he is here and we are home. I'd post more pictures, but I'm not sure what BJ has done with the camera...and he's at work.
Tanner was born at 6:45 am by C-section. All went really well. He weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He's a fussy baby with lots of burps and bubbles, and he's only 5 days old!! I sure hope we can nip that one quick! I'm recovering very well, just VERY exhausted! Can't wait to get off the pain pills so I can function a little more normal again.
And...Tanner is crying again...=)

Awesome! Made Rachel Cry

2009-05-27T18:14:00.001-06:00

Hey, check out the video below of what you can do in two days while your wife is in the hospital. Thanks for all the help. The room looks 10 times better then the pictures. Rachel started sniffling when she walked in. Yeah!!!!

Loving LaRee

2009-03-22T13:39:00.006-06:00

Logan loves to teach his little siblings all he knows. He's starting early with LaRee. =)

LaRee's first pony tails! I think Mom was more excited about getting her hair done than she was. Although this first picture sure looks like she thinks she's a pretty princess. =) She's such a little Character! What a fun personality she has!

Secret Agent Sunday

2009-02-15T18:52:00.003-07:00

Logan and Cooper wanted to put up there secret agent forts today. Once we got them up Shredder (from the teenage mutant ninja turtles) showed up and tried to get in. They had to protect there fort so the battle was on. So Logan and Cooper did battle and ultimately won. Yah Imagination!

Logan is so excited about our new adventure. We talked to one of our good neighbors who had an old 20 gal fish tank. He made a deal with Logan that if he cleaned it up and took care of the fish, he could have the tank for free. So this morning we started on our project. Should be lots of fun! We will keep you updated.

DISCLAIMER

2009-02-09T23:00:00.002-07:00

This is just to inform everyone that I really don't blog these days...in case you haven't noticed. I just got on here tonight and saw 16 posts! on our family pictures. I guess I/we should get on here more often. BJ's been on here more than me lately.
Anyway, there are some posts on there that I don't know how to get to your blog to find you...can you email me or something...(or someone teach me how LOL) Here's my email. msp.org@gmail.com But no promises that I'll find you soon...email, yes...blog...that's anyone's guess. But I'm glad to know we have friends out there somewhere. =)

Trying to get audio to work

Okay, so as if two hours of build in babysitting at church isn't cool enough, this is another reason why. Here are some pictures Logan Drew after primary today. The pictures are totally unsolicited! After you look at the pictures click on this link to hear Logan telling the story about his pictures. It will take you to a new page...but then just come back if you want.
We recorded the audio after he explained the pictures to us.

We took our kids for a little fun at the fair. I think we'll skip the rides next year. They only rode two rides, and we bought them a wristband (buy one get one free day), so we had them go over and over again in the fun houses to get our money's worth. (those pics didn't turn out though)

Logan's second picture of a Blue Heron. I drew the out line of the box surrounding the pictures, and he drew everything else. He also colored the picture too! We are going to buy him a "how to draw" book tomorrow to keep him going.
