The Hansen's: Camping and Mya turns 1!!!

So let me explain why I haven't kept up on this blog... well, I wasn't sure how I wanted to keep track of our memories and pictures so I've tried different things and honestly i really don't like spending a lot of time on the computer I would rather clean, make crafts, play sports, workout, be with my family, but I need an easier cheaper way of keeping a family album so now I am just starting over with this blog and my goal is to make a blog book for every year and then keep an album seperate for special things just for mya in her album.

This past week Dean went on a fishing trip with his dad, brother and cousins to the Uintahs and I am too scared to stay home alone so I went camping with my family to Palasades Lake and Jackson Hole. It was Mya's first trip and she did pretty good. She didn't sleep that great the first night-she woke up a few times because she was cold and then her diaper couldn't hold anymore pee so it was all over her-and each time she woke up. My brother Dustin was asleep on the floor next to us and he would whisper "Oh my gosh!" it was pretty funny when I retold it to my parents. The next day his head kept bobbing in the truck he was so tired. Poor guy.

Mya had her first ride on a ski lift-she was in a carseat attached to the lift chair. She just sucked her thumb and looked around. We went to Bar J wranglers and played horse shoes and Jaxon and I went for a run up the beautiful dirt road by the lake. I love living by the mountains! We have it so good here. Dean and I can go hunting just about anywhere, we can fish, ride motorcycles, I can go running anywhere (dean hates running). I'm just so grateful we live here and I hope one day whereever we build a house I just hope the mtns will be our children's back yard.

While camping we heard a bear, Jaxon and I floated the Salt Creek River, and we just relaxed.

Dean had fun at the Uintahs-he didn't take a camera but he said that they caught over 200 fish!! wow!! and the weather was perfect and the horses didn't run away the whole trip (that is rare). I just loved it when he got home though, I slept the last night he was gone alone at our apartment. I had a hard time getting to sleep until I got the 12-gauge loaded and put it next to our bed:) haha then I slept like a baby! I'm so grateful I took hunter's ed and I really have confidence with our shotgun- so beware anybody who comes to my place in the middle of the night! :)

Mya's birthday was fun. we had it at my parents and almost everyone made it except my sister and her fam. Mya was kind of ornery but she liked her presents and cousins. She could have cared less about her cake:) that's what I was most excited about, oh well. I just can't believe my baby is 1!!! where has the time gone?
