some updates...

I have been awful at updating this thing but I do have a good excuse..school! I can't wait until I am done and I can relax when I get home from work. anyway...life is good! Dean and I are just living life. here are some pics of what's been going on..

USU vs. BYU game...it was so flippin hot then it got so cold when the sun went down. oh utah!

This pic is from Dean dedicated to Steve and Kirsten...hahaha Dean just wanted to show steve the final score of the game. usually USU sucks but they pulled through this game. I love fall football games!

Dean with Elder Tuiasosopo. These two are so fun to listen to speak samoan! This elder has brought a ray of sunshine in our lives he is so nice and Dean has had a lot of fun chatting it up with him.


Dean got to teach a samoan girl the missionary lessons in samoan with Elder tuiasosopo. I got to go to one of the lessons and it was so amazing!!!!! The gospel touches my heart no matter what language it is in. The girl's name is Lilia and she is the one holding her little cousin. This is her baptism day!

Dean inherited the coolest gun from my grandpa carpenter. It is a 30-6 pump action rifle (which they don't make anymore) He got to take it elk hunting this month. I just love my hunter!!!


Me practicing my shooting for hunter's ed!!!


I passed! I got my hunter's safety and my small game liscence! i'm so excited to go pheasant hunting with Dean and good ole rusty!!! I got this because I want to start getting more involved in hunting cuz I love it! and also because Dean and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary pheasant hunting since opening day is the day before our anniversary!

My all time favorite thing to do in the winter! HOCKEY GAMES!!! I don't know why I like it so much, oh wait yes I do, cuz it is full of action and fights ( I sound like a blood thirsty manly girl in this blog) and I think it is one of the hardest sports out there! I mean you have to be a good ice skater and know how to handle a puck and beat up another guy at the same time!!! It is so much fun to watch USU play!

Mama Hansen blowing out her bday candles with two little rascals helping her:)



Me and some girl friends ( Chelsee, Maurina, and Sydney) at the General Relief Society broadcast in the conference center. I just love temple square so much! you can just feel the spirit and the historical meaning to it all!


My handsome tuff stuff Bode-alicious! Mindy stopped by to see us and I just can't get enough of Bodie! He is so much fun!!!



Addie on her 8th bday! I can't believe my oldest niece is getting baptised! that makes me feel old! ps she has the most gorgeous hair! so thick and blond!

Mama, me, and my dad sporting his winter beard at Jaxon's soccer game. It was so much fun going and watching Jaxon play he is pretty good and the tallest boy on the team!



Something Dean and I like to do is go on picnics at first dam and feed the ducks! i love ducks so much and can't wait til we can have some of our own. i know they stink but they are so darn cute!

Celebrating Dean's 24th bday!!! and of course some help from Parker and Wyatt. They are so hilarious!

Yeah USU 10th ward softball!!! 2nd place champs! we almost took stake champs but we lost by one! oh well, next year we will dominate!!! It is crazy how competitive Dean and I get with sports. I think that is one of the reasons why we fell in love! Ha ha ha! I just love playing any sport and am so glad there are people in our ward that do too it makes it a lot more fun!

I'll be sure and blog after halloween cuz Dean and I are suprising everyone with our creative costumes this year I can't wait to show everyone!!!!
