Day of love

Happy Valentine's Day! Ok, so I know it isn't actually V-day yet, but when you have kids in school, they are having their parties today. Paxton was really excited because it was her first party being in school, and Caden was thrilled to have another day/reason to exchange or recieve candy. I was going to buy their cards again, just the basics with a candy attached.


Then as I was looking at a friends blog, she had made her own cards this year and they were so cute. So of coarse I copied them. I couldn't have come up with it on my own. And the ones she made I thought were better because she had photoshop and was able to type in the message. (I think I am the only person without photoshop). So I had to hand write the message on each one with my trusty red sharpie.

I couldn't get Daisy to cooperate with me, so she didn't make the last photo. (She was being a big stink that day.) We hope you all have a fun Valentines Day.

1st haircut & stuff

It looks like I've gotten really behind, again. To go from my last post, I've first got to say THANKS to all of you guys who ordered cups from Caden. We got a good response after putting up that post and also doing an email. We don't know yet if he is in the running for winning the scooter or not, but we will keep you posted if he does.

Well, I gave Daisy her first haircut two weeks after she turned two. We were itching to get rid of that mullet that seems to naturally grow for kids at that stage in the game. I kept waiting to take her in to see Jackie, but I never got down at a good time. So she had to settle for me cutting it. I have to say I did a decent job. It wasn't to uneven.



We've been making progress on our kitchen remodel also. We finally got the backsplash up, so I took a few pictures. It wasn't grouted yet at this point but it is now and I don't have pictures of it. I'll have to update again later. I still need to paint, get new window treatments and finish the little nook next to the refrigerator. So there is still some work to do.



After the big storm we had the latter part of January, we headed up to Globe to visit with G-pa/G-ma Hansen and play in the snow. Spencer and the kids made a few snowmen, had some snowball fights and all the regular fun stuff in the snow.


I'll leave you with those few updates for the time being.

Calling all readers

OK, for all you readers out there, weather it be many or few. Those who comment and those who just stalk! We need to come together. We've got some business to take care of here.

Caden's school is doing a fundraiser. He loves to be involved in these whenever they have them. When he was on swim team in the summer, he was sure to be at all the ones they held.


This particular one is different than any of the others they've done so far. They are selling Spirit Cups. It is a 18oz. plastic cup. It is a heavy/durable plastic cup, dishwasher safe and made in the USA! Size is 5.75" tall. You choose your graphic. Those offered are:

* all 32 NFL teams
* all 30 MLB teams
* over 70 Colleges
* 5 Military designs
If you'd like, you can go to spiritcups.com to view your favorite team cup before ordering.

There are 4 cups per pack. Each pack is $15. You choose one logo per pack. They sent a sample home with the kids, so I took a few pictures of it. I cant think of what it is called, but the outside has that type of picture that changes when you slightly tilt it or look at it from a different angle. Does anyone know what that is called?



Spencer is allowing this ASU cup to be in the house only because Caden is so excited to sell these! Just think of all the birthday shopping for those die hard fans you can get done for the year by ordering these now!

Anyway, if you'd like to SUPPORT this SWEET kid in his efforts to fund raise, please contact us. If you don't want to leave all your personal info in the comments, just email me at snlhansen@hotmail.com , and we'll go from there.

He has to have the orders in no later than Jan. 28th and the cups will be in for us to pick up March 12th. Can't wait to hear from you all. ThAnKs!!
