Carlie's First Post

This is Carlie and I want to talk about Disneyland and how much I love it. So, my favorite place to go is Disneyland because of all of the rides, the characters, the music. My favorite character is probably Belle because she is super pretty and nice. I love the parades too. My favorite one is Soudsational. My favorite music is the Main Street Playlist because the only thing it reminds me of is Disneyland. My favorite ride in Disneyland is Its a Small World, and in California Adventure it is Guardians. I wish Disneyland allowed pets so we could bring Phoebe. I wonder how she feels when we are not with her all of the time. I miss her every time we go somewhere without her. I remember when we used to always stay at Del Sol Inn but now we've gone to multiple different hotels. One of my favorite Disney trips that we've taken was the Disney cruise for our family reunion. That was sooo nice for aunt  Nancy to pay for that whole cruise. I remember being scared of sleeping in hotel

  It's not that I don't have anything interesting to say.  I just that I don't have time to say it.  So here's to a new hobby, which I undoubtedly have no time to pursue. . . Here's a rundown. . . 5 kids- Cadence 12, Zack 11, Carlie 9, Cooper 7, Stockton 6 We live in Woods Cross in a great house in a great neighborhood Our kids are learning to speak French We do sports We do dance We do princesses and Super heroes I do Magical Celebrations JJ does Transamerica We do up and down But we manage to get back to middle ground- most of the time. So what does life look like for us? This one is what we looked like around the time of my last blog post.  And here's what we look like now.  Except that my hair is once again brown, not blonde. A lot has changed! But we are happy, healthy, and grateful for each other! Happy Easter!

A jumble of good stuff

The first Saturday of summer break couldn't be more perfect. Waffles for breakfast, the morning spent at the pool, and the rest of the day spent outside doing yard work while the kids are running around with all the cute neighbors. I love this weather, I love this neighborhood, and I love my family! This is what it's all about. Right now I'm taking a break with my sweet Stockton who seems to be okay with me catching up on this lifeless blog. Have you met Stockton? If not, you should. He is four months old and such a sweetie. He looks like his brother Zack if you ask me, just a whole lot skinnier. He's the first of the skinny kind of babies we've had. But what this by lacks in weight, he more than makes up for in length. He has blue eyes that are undoubtedly a gift from the Hansen side of the family. His hair has still got us guessing, but I think he will be blonde, at least for a while. He is such a snugly and sweet boy. I love that when I come over to pick him u

Do you even remember me?

I'm super far behind on my blog, so this should be interesting.  Will I stick with it?  Probably. . . or not.  But I hope because I have too much to be thankful for to keep it all to myself.  So, this is an update since last OCTOBER when I last posted an entry here.  No picture for now.  No time! About us as of late-ish. . .    JJ-  He's 35 and he goes to work everyday.  He has crappy knees.  But he is a gem.  He's a hard worker and a marvelous dad. He moved us into a new house that we love in April.  We are still close to our old neighborhood and get to see old friends a lot.  It's great.   April-  That's me.  I  am a headless chicken.  But not right now because I have two kids napping, one at a friend's house, and one at school.  That is why I am blogging!  I am taking classes online to earn my elementary ed degree so I can start a preschool next fall.  I'm pretty excited about that.  Pretty awesome.  I hate math and I'm not good at it.  I'm sort

And never mind that he is sitting up on my lap playing with a chew toy. He's just such a fun little boy that all my free time goes to playing with him (and not blogging)! Since he is nearly four months old and I haven't had a single post about him, this entire entry is dedicated to our favorite baby in the world. Cooper's Creed I will only have blowouts when it's convenient for mom, like when she's blogging. I will sleep really well through the night, but only after I do one or two fakeouts. I will keep you guessing about my eye color for at least 3 and 3/4 months. I will grow like a weed. I will be the size of a nine month old when I'm three months old. I will not barf too much. I will give a big adorable smile to anyone who looks in my direction. I may scream at the top of my lungs if I feel that someone should be looking at me, but as soon as I get some attention, I will coo and kick my feet. I will be a snuggle bug. Instead of laughing I will hold my brea
