I know that many of you have wondered, "Where have the Kentucky Hansen's gone?" "Are they even alive?" "Do they like chicken nuggets?" Well the answer is yes, yes and definitely yes! Well McCall still hasn't popped so we had to entertain ourselves with other endeavors such as moving apartments, building snow people, eating the world's largest cake, leaning on piano benches, and partying it up at adult stake Valentine's dances where we were the only ones dancing to the fast songs (but there's some pretty groovy elderly mojo going on). You can feast upon the pictures that we've uploaded below... Maple says hi, and McCall says... No..... and J.D. just laughs. Peace in the Middle East and let the Nephites convert the Lamanites.

To all of you outside of the home..I think that it says Hansen's of South Jordan for a reason for those living in South Jordan ha ha ha... Not trying to be rude just wanted to let you all know so it doesn't get confusing!! We love looking at your blogs, it's so fun to hear and see what you are doing. THANK YOU MUCHO! LOVE CASS

For those of you away we thought we'd show you the progress being made on our house. The first thing done was the waterfall/pond. The pics don't give it its due justice. It's totally amazing! So glad to have that gray rock gone. We even have a bridge. Then we got rid of the cover on the porch and can see the mountains. Then we needed some light in the back and we got a door and 2 windows by moving our cabinet to the dining room side. Then the box over the cupbaords came down and box light. All the sanding and mudding made our house all smokey. We still can't get rid of the dust. It hasn't been fun washing every part of the kitchen 5 times a day. Now we're onto the patio. Doesn't it look amazing. We look like millionaires. Ha! They'll be more pics to come.

Having a lot of fun at Parker's Birthday Party/combined Shelby, Cassidy, and Dad's party. Daniel and Brandon always are the first ones in the kitchen and the last one to clean up after any dinner. Man, I picked two good son-in-laws. Lexi's cool hippie costume for school using Cassidy's clothes. Thanks Cass! :D The birthday's yummy cake! Mmmm in a heart shaped cake pan for the valentine boy. Shae still never leaves her favorite game. And talking with the Mac's on the computer! Great to see them again!

“A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.”

“You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.”

“It is true that you may occasionally overhear a mother say “Children must have their naps, It’s mother who knows best.” When what she really means by that is that she needsa rest.”

Isn't that so very true. Each and every one of them. I have tried to document this stage and in my head I think "My posterity will LOVE all of these pictures" So, here is to you posterity. Enjoy.
