Cassi's graduation

It was not that long ago when we would sit and talk about what she wanted to be when she grew up. The list included astronaut, writer, artist, and a mom.  She has waited for this moment for such a long time. Congratulations Cassi!! Our little brown eyed girl has grown into a beautiful young women with the whole world at her finger tips.

Fun Day...


I love when the grand babies are over, anything goes (much to their dad's dismay). Sadie and Micah love the water. I saw this little whale pool and could not resist. It is so much fun to watch them laugh and play. What you don't see in this picture is the rest of the family (all 12 of us), surrounded by this pool a BBQ going on in the background and so much love, laughter and good food. I LOVE MY FAMILY and I am so grateful we are all so close!!!

Dana Hansen RN


Well, I finally finished nursing school. It only took me seven years to do it, but I did it none the less.
It is difficult to raise a family, work and go to school so I chipped away a little at a time and now I am done!!! THANK GOODNESS for my wonderful husband, beautiful daughters and great friends that helped my continue to press forward. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

I love Sadie!!!




One of the best things in my life is SADIE, I can't help but love her. She is so funny and smart. I am amazed at the progress she has made in the past few months, she knows who I am and can even say Nana and point to me!!! I love the time we get to spend together. Nicki has put her blood, sweat and tears into this babe and you can see the fruits of her labors.

The first boy arrives...


I know he is much bigger now but since i am going to print my blog and keep it as a journal I feel as though I must add this photo. He is so cute and so sweet. I am so greatful to Nicki and Micah for allowing me to witness this special event!!! xoxo.

Getting ready for our new grandbaby




Ahh the joys of life. Here we are celebrating Nicki's 2nd baby or as I like to call him the duce. (little family joke).   We can't wait to get our hands on this little BOY!!  

Tenaji Waterfall...not really






Any time Steve says hey lets go on a hike, you better be prepared! I am thinking, ok  we will hike on this nice little trail through the trees and then drive home, right. WRONG. we did hike up this nice trail to see the Tenaji waterfall ( which had no water). But he wanted to see if we could hike down the waterfall. WHAT?! Since there no rocks to hike through we had to slide down!! I have to admit he makes things way more exciting. Everyone made it down without injury and we really had a great time.
