Halle's Baptism

Oh, look at all these Hansons looking so nice and dressed up? This was quite the packing required for a trip to Aberdeen for my neice's baptism as well as swimming. Dress clothes and dress shoes for everyone...Phew!

I had to hold Marie like this the entire time because she is a momma's girl! (I kind of like it... shhhhhh.) She would not be set down for a minute or she'd scream. The priest asked "Is she the first one?" Weird that #4 is the biggest momma's baby? And, I wanted to show off my new jacket that I LOVE that actually fits me. It came from a store called "long tall sally." Laugh it up normal people!

Then I realized I don't have any good pictures of me holding Halle because Marie would scream. (Sheena, Halle, Adam) Halle is beautiful and looks like Sheena without hair. Travis says that he is going to work with Uncle Adam some day as an engineer where they will build legos and eat doritos.

The priest was quite nice to the 8 cousins under the age of 8 and let them all come up and touch the water.

Travis took photos for while. Nice one Uncle Nolan.

Is Luke walking on water?????

These two are not afraid of the water at all and are crazy, crazy in it. Marie hardly looks like Chris, does she?

Happy 8th Birthday Eva!

Eva had a small party at a hotel with just a few friends on Friday. I made this cake for her (believe it or not, from scratch! AND, it was edible!) and we just hung out as a family today.
This is Luke's new game to play, and he gets Marie or anyone that's willing to "dwibe wif me (drive with me)." He is packing the car, which must be at the bottom of the stairs so that no one can walk, and then there will be two chairs and it is the car to go to "Gamma Tee's."

I guess I didn't need to sing so loud and off tune with the camera in my hand, embarassing. However, it was worth the humiliation to show how we put Luke in the baby chair because he had thrown food on the floor (completely on-purpose to be a *#*t). So, I Gerry Buckhoused him and said that if he was going to eat like a baby, then he could sit in the baby chair. (My dad would threaten to make us eat in the garage with the dogs, which I do think I remember doing at least once? That was my next step, but I didn't have to take that next step luckily!)
