Running

I have been training for a half marathon in Provo for the past 12 weeks and finally ran it on June 9th. It really was such an amazing experience, my sister in law Ashley ran it with me so it was really fun riding the bus with her and talking and laughing until it was time to run. Roger and I got a hotel in Provo so we had a big pasta dinner the night before and then took the kids swimming it was a blast. Then we went to sleep but I couldn't sleep I was so anxious about the run in the morning I think I was just so worried I wouldn't wake up on time to catch the bus at 3:30 am. It really was so early but I was just so excited to finally be running. There was so many people running the half and Ashley and I made a couple friends while we were sitting around the fire waiting to run. So many people are such hard core runners and eat all sorts of things before they run, I just eat a banana and I have never really stretched much before I ran it was just fun to see everyone's routines before they run. Well the race began and I felt amazing the whole time I just listened to my tunes and relaxed and enjoyed the view of the pretty provo canyon, I honestly was smiling the whole time I was running ,it was the so fun to run with so many amazing people who all were working toward the same goal. I honestly loved training and now I tell Roger I don't know what to do with myself now I just would think about running all the time and ran 5 days a week and so I need to figure out if I want to train to run another one or just run for fun now. Roger has been such a wonderful support to me and has helped me so much to accomplish my goal. I love him so much!  Well my time was 2:12 my goal was 2:00 but I guess next time I should focus on running faster I just didn't know what to expect and didn't want to kill myself and not make it to the end. But anyway it was so so amazing so here is some pictures at the end of the race!

Hunter

Hunter is getting so big, he will be 10 months old on the 12th of June. He is such a sweet little guy and is crawling every where. You would think I have never had a kid before I have forgotten how much kids get into things when they start crawling, he gets into the garbage, finds every cord and always goes towards the stairs. I really enjoyed when he just sat there and played with toys:) But anyway Hunter loves Blake if he hears Blake talking in another room he gets so excited and has to go crawl and find him. He loves being outside so, we go for lots of walks and have gone for a couple hikes and he loves every minute. My boys both love the water so this summer we are loving going to the splash pads and going to pools all the time. Hunter is such a special kid, he always smiles at people and so they come up to me at stores and have to talk to him and play with him. He loves the camera so enjoy these cute pictures of my little guy!

Happy Birthday Blake!!!

My little Blakey Boy turned three on January 23. I can't believe that he is three already I remember when he was Hunter's age and was just a little guy and I was a new mom not knowing what to do, but he has been such a good boy for his us. Blake is a really active kid ever since he could walk at 10 months he has been running and getting into everything(But my mom said I was the same way so I guess its pay back!) he is always moving and ready to go from the minute he wakes up. Another thing about Blake is that he is so so sweet, he loves to be held especially by his dad and will always hug you and tell you "I love you so much Mom" and loves to give kisses. Blake is also such a boy he wants to fight all the time and jump on your back and throw pillows at you, I love it because I grew up with 5 brothers so I am used to this kind of stuff, and now that I have two boys I can see this activity being a daily thing. You know I know Blake loves me his Mom, But he adores his Dad he tries to be just like him and misses him everyday when he goes to work, so when Roger gets home from work Blake wants nothing to do with me its his time with his favorite guy Daddy. I am proud to say that Blake is potty trained it has been a long road, I had a goal to get him trained before he was three and we did it. He is so funny he likes to sit and he loves to get a prize or treat every time he goes and if I forget he will remind me. Blake is really a smart kid he knows all the letters in the alphabet and counts to twenty and knows he colors pretty good. Blake also loves to dance, for christmas we got a wii and me and him will dance to Just Dance all the time I love that he loves to do things that I enjoy doing. Well wow this is alot of info about my Little Man but I want Blake to know I love him and I am so proud of him and we are so happy to be his parents.

Baby Hunter is here!

We are happy to announce that we had our son Hunter James Hansen on August 12, he weighed 7.2 pounds and was 20 inches long and was three weeks early. Blake is obsessed with him and always has to know what Hunter is doing and wants him to wake up to play with him. I can tell that Blake is such a good big brother he loves to kiss Hunter on the head and loves to give him his binki all the time. We are having so much fun with our two boys they are getting so big, Hunter is already a month old and Blake will be three in January.

Good News!!!!!

We are happy to announce we are having another baby, we are having another boy and I am due the first of September. We are so excited! Blake will be such a good big brother:)

Happy Birthday Blake!

Blake's birthday was on January 23rd but that was on Sunday so we had a fun party on Saturday. We had a football party and invited some of Blake's little cousins to come over for some games. I don't know if knew what was going on but he really enjoyed all of his toys and the cupcakes and treats. Blake loves his cousins even though alot of them are bigger then him he loves playing with the big kids. Thanks for everyone that came to celebrate Blakes special day!

Merry Christmas!

We had a really fun Christmas this year busy but fun. We had parties starting on the 20th clear until Christmas , so lets just say we really celebrated this year. Blake woke up on Christmas morning at 7:00 so not to early and I came in with the video camera, so for awhile he was more interested in the camera then his presents and wanted to see daddy in the camera. Then we got him opening presents(I think it is funner now that he understands a little more whats going on)he got so many fun things a basketball hoop, race cars, romote control car, Buzz Lightyear, and clothes but he didn't like those. And I got my Shark I am so excited not to mop anymore. Roger got a tent heater so that means I need to be a better camper. Overall we had a really good day we went to Roger's Grandmas house for breakfast then to my parents and then to Roger's parents. So we were exhausted as you can see in the picture above. Well I hope you all had a Merry Christmas:)
