My Contribution

I can't razz my father-in-law too much about not posting if I haven't made any formal posting, so here it is.
Treena, I love that you have created this blog, I too think that it is more valuable that anyone understands to keep in touch. The only time I see most of you is at a wedding, funeral, or home coming of some sort. None of which are appropriate to really sit and get to know each other or catch up. I have missed the good old days when the "My Family" web site was first started and we were all so good at posting and reading what was going on in everyone's lives. Most of all I have missed hearing from Grandpa Hansen. He always has the perfect way of saying the right thing to make me smile. I'm not kidding about having that little poem made into a vinyl sign to remind me not to take life to seriously. And wow Macie is sooooo big. She sounds just like our kids, meals are always lots of fun at our house, I'm sure that they are going to start believing that there is really a wahmbulance (Urban Dictionary definition: stop whining! Why dont you call a wambulance.), my sarcasm is lost on them. It's always a happy day at our house when we have mac and cheese (or pop tarts) because they all like that.

I just got home from girls camp yesterday, I serve as the secretary. Its really the best calling in the youth program because you don't have to be the authority figure, just the fun one. I'm sure that as the RS secretary no one is impressed by your Bishopric tent toilet papering skills. However in young women's that's a big hit, especially with the Bishopric :) Branden stayed home on Tuesday for part of the day and Grandma Dee (aka; MaraDee) had them for awhile. Braxden was thrilled to help his Grandpa JR work in the basement he even brought his hard hat and tools. Branden is not one to want to get his hands dirty with such things so Brax is glad to have Grandpa so close.

We will be spending yet another weekend out at the race track. Branden is racing on Friday and Saturday so we are going to take the trailer (chick camping) down to Miller Raceway in Tooele so he doesn't have to go back and forth. It is not the best weekend to go in my opinion because of the heat. There is acre after acre of pavement so it should be about 160 maybe 180 degrees who knows for sure, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not exaggerating at all :) If anyone would like to get heat stroke with us this weekend your more than welcome to join us.
