Our Tenth Anniversary

For our big 10th anniversary, we thought it would be fun to spend it with our family at the place it all began. It was so fun to try and remember what we were doing at all different times of the day. It makes us laugh now at how nervous we were and so glad when the day was finally over. We also had to laugh because when we got married, the reflection pool was under construction. So we had to have our pictures taken in very different places than couples would today. We had fun taking our kids around temple square and loved the company of the day. It made it absolutely PERFECT. It is still hard to fathom all that has changed in the past 10 years, but are so very grateful for our little family.

Our crazy little family on a very perfect day. Love you.

May 2010

So a lot has happened this month....Allie's blessing was so much fun. A few days after her blessing one of our good friends took her pictures in OUR blessing dress. So fun!

Special memories- so many fun details.

Also this month was Michael's first baseball game! He was so excited as he got to play first base, hit his first single, and all the fun baseball things that make the game so fun.

Little Lukers- he has been so good in watching and supporting his brother and sisters in all the things that are going on. He just loves to cuddle and spend time will all those around.

Our Kindergarten graduate! Kiersten's class put on an adorable graduation ceremony. Lots of fun songs, poems, and silly kiddos! We were so proud as she sang the songs that she has been practicing all year. Loved it!

Last night my boys spent the night in our tent in the yard. It may not be in a campground far, far away....but far enough that these silly boys are making memories that will last a lifetime!

Allie's Blessing

Our Sweetie Allie Soncerae Hansen

On May 2nd, we had Allie's Blessing. It was such a fun and wonderful day. We also were celebrating Kiersten's birthday, so lots of reasons for a very fun day. We had almost all of our families there and were very blessed by the sacrifices that were made to come at such an early hour from so far away.

Happy Birthday Kiersten!

On May 2nd, we celebrated Kiersten's second birthday as well as Allie's blessing. No one was more excited for this day to come than this little girl. We took her the night before to ToysRus (her favorite store on this whole earth) and told her she got to choose her own present. We gave her the money limit and she was off looking for the infinite possibilities. Over an hour later she had narrowed down the choices, and chose her three dancing Barbie dolls. So fun!

After we were through there, we took her to dinner, where she took every opportunity to tell anyone and everyone that it was her birthday tomorrow. Cutie girl even got a free piece of pie from it! She was in heaven. Then to have everyone from the family come over the next day (for the blessing) she was in giddy. She was spoiled rotten by all her cutie aunts and uncles and grandparents.

For a long time she has said that she had wanted a rainbow birthday cake, and I had found this one on a blog I really like. So I showed Kiersten and from that day, she counted down until we could make her rainbow cake. It turned out awesome, in my opinion!

Love you Pumpkin!

Happy Mother's Day

To all the wonderful mothers we have had in our lives. The ones who have gone ahead, the ones with us still, and the ones yet to be...

Happy Mother's Day!

We love you! We would not be the same without you, and could not imagine our lives not having being blessed by your wisdom, love, patience, and faith.
