Hansen Reunion 2015-Palisades, WY

This year the Hansen reunion was the last week of July at Palisades Lake in WY near Alpine. I used to go camping there with my family every year for basically my whole life, it is a beautiful place. I love the pines and greenness and the western mountains that surround it.

Well, the first night we got there we set up and ate dinner and it was a little rainy, that night was the first night we have slept in a tent with the kids and they did pretty well, the second day we went boating the Reeves and Shalese's in laws brought boats. we tried the wake chair for the first time and it was really hard to get the hang of it (I am sorry I didn't get a pic), something memorable: Wyatt pooped off the dock and into the lake, and my wave runner ran out of gas and we were towed back in. Baylor loved on Dillon and Annie's dog Remmi, they were so cute together. Mya loved being with all her cousins that she loves so much. The next day we boated some more and then packed up to leave. It was a fun reunion and look forward to them every year.

Backyard project….

Dean is the hardest worker I know! seriously he amazes me! Up before work, goes to work, works tool late at night. I am so thankful I have him!
So the other night a few of our neighbors, Neil Peterson, Chris Lindquist, and our Bishop Chad Argyle came over one evening (deans loves to work at night) and they helped dean lay sprinkler pipes. Neil ended up staying with Dean until midnight! They are awesome neighbors and friends!

… can't' wait until it's done!!

I love my job!

I know I'm crazy to drive to Logan to work about 2x a month but I do love it so I'm not gonna give it up just yet.:)

Working with Ang Cushman and Diane Mickelson-these ladies are so cool!

Reunion with some of our Logan friends...

So through Facebook my friend Claire set up a little get together at Jacob and Ashley Mason's house in Riverton with some of our friends from our Logan married student ward. there were 6 couples and 10 kids between all of us! It was so fun to catch up with everyone and if I could have it my way I would have all my friends from Logan all live in Cache Valley together! :) I seriously love them and feel a closeness with them, maybe it's because during that time span we all went through so much of the same things together. anyway it was a fun BBQ

June randoms

I have always always wanted a porch swing so this old one of my gma Smiths works great in our big willow tree! We have loved it!

Baylor got new cowboy boots for his bday from my mom and I almost cried when he put them on (it took some persuading) he is like my little boy doll:)

Mya's friend Vivi for her bday invited some of the neighbor girls to go to build a bear and they all got one it was so cute they wanted to wear dresses. 

I worked 2 days in june and they were in Richmond for one of them and was good helpers for Geri in the garden picking and shelling peas. I can't wait to have a big garden of our own. I have learned a lot from Geri and her garden:)
