Two Months Old!

Bryson is now into months instead of weeks! He had his well visit yesterday, and weighed in at 10 lbs 10 oz. and was 22 1/5 in. Both around the 25-30%. He is a growing boy! I am so glad he is growing and doing well. He is so much more alert now and loves to smile and coo. I was even doing little piggies with him today and he loved it! I love watching him grow and change every day. It's amazing how much they can change all within a weeks time.

Good Things Utah

I got to go to the taping of Good Things Utah on Tuesday. It was so fun! We went for one of our 'Girls Day Outs' at Church. It's was pretty cool to be behind the scenes and see how things work. So if you watched on Tuesday you could have seen me in the audience!

In case you were wondering

This is what happens when you try and get on the computer and let your baby have floor time.Apparently they all want in on the action. (Can you tell that Jackson dressed himself? It's a long sleeved snowmobile shirt with shorts, slightly out of season)

A Name and a Blessing...

What a perfect day! Bryson was blessed yesterday by his daddy. He did such a wonderful job, and I am very grateful to have such a great hubby, who loves his boys so much.
Here are some pics of the cutie in white. All three of them have been blessed in the same outfit, which makes that little, simple, white piece of material extra special.




The cake. Everybody asked what kind of cake it was. The title, Darn Good Chocolate Cake, and I must say, it was darn good! If you are lucky, I might share the recipe ( ;

The cupcakes. The little kids couldn't keep their eyes off. Or fingers.
Bryson slept the whole time. And I wasn't about to wake him for a picture.

So, I am not what you would call a "testimony barer". I have one, I just don't bare it for some reason. I cannot even remember the last time I stood in sacrament and bore my testimony. So whether you want to hear it or not, I am going to blog it. It would be selfish of me to not share my feelings from yesterday. I felt completely blessed sitting there on the bench with my two boys, and my other two boys at the front of the church. Everything just seemed so...perfect. Surrounded by family, my wonderful parents and parent-in-laws, and friends. I am very grateful to have been born into the church and be raised in the gospel with the standards that my parents set for me. It's almost like you instantly get a 'move ahead 5 spaces card.' A jump start in the right and direction, and then you choose to either follow that direction or turn around and go the other way. The truth that many people search and search for, was handed to me the minute I was born. At times I feel inadequate, that it should be a lot harder than this. We all have trials in our life, but even through trials it is always the gospel and love from my

Heavenly Father that comforts and gives me the strength to overcome it. I am thankful that Heavenly Father has intrusted me to raise his children. I feel lucky that I was chosen to be their mother. I hope that I can raise them so they are close to their Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and that they can love them and respect them the way their daddy does. I don't think our family would be half as happy if we didn't have the church in our lives. It gives direction and guidance that I would feel lost without. It all just makes sense. The blessing of having a forever family is one that I cherish deeply, I can't imagine going from this life to the next and having them not there. My family is my everything. My boys make me want to be a better person, they help remind me that I am an example to them and they follow where ever I lead. If I want them to make good choices, then I too must make good choices and live my life worthy of being in our Heavenly Father's presence. I know that this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ and that our Prophet, President Monson is the true prophet. I know with all my heart that this is where I am supposed to be right now, this is what I am supposed to be doing, And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I can't keep up!

We have had a lot going on, but for some reason I can't keep up on bloggin lately. Anybody have any ideas of what that reason is? What? A new baby? Oh, I guess that could be it. Anyway, here is a recap.

We hit a parade. Jackson wouldn't let Landon step past the gutter, he was following the rules of not going in the street very well, even though we told him to go in the road.The same city had a brand new fire station that was having an open house.

We went to the new splash pad in South Ogden with a bunch of friends. The kids had a good time, and best of all, it was free! They need to put these at every park.

Jackson rode his new bike (more about that later) in the stake primary Pioneer Day parade. Isn't my little pioneer a cutie?

We went up to Island Park Idaho for a family reunion, where apperently Landon decided to eat sticks.

My boys and papa Hansen, or as Landon says, Bapa. They idolize that man.

Everyone in my extended family got to hear my little fuss pants all weekend. Of course they all probably have extra sympathy for me now, right.

Here is my cute neice Savanna.

And my cute grandpa that was such a trooper to come all the way up there! He will be 90 this fall.

We did get a family picture with everyone but I I don't have it yet. It was the best turnout, we were only missing 10 people out of 72. This is actually our first picture of all five of us, it still looks strange to me to see five people instead of four.

So now you are all filled in. I will try to update more often but don't get all huffy if I don't!

Bryson's Announcements

Just wanted to share some pics of Bryson and his announcement. I had plans for a lot more pictures but his patience ran out and I was losing my light. Oh well, at least I got a few cute ones.
