COLLAGE OF FAMILY PICTURES

Last month I put together this collage of family pictures to put in a picture frame that Alan Monson and Samantha Sharp gave me for Christmas. I love it. It says the word "Cherish" at the bottom of it. So, here is a small version of the collage. I made one in Color and then one in Black and White. They are a little different.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY - Summer 2004

I thought these pictures were so cute of Cameron and Mallory. I'm not sure where Michael was during this "Kodak Moment" but anyway, enjoy these adorable pictures. (They are so cute when they are young, however, THEY DO GROW UP!!!!) jk :)

FLASHBACK FRIDAY - South Carolina 2004

We took the family to South Carolina for the first time back in 2004. We had a great time and I think it was a memorable trip for the kids. Can't wait to take them back again.

Valentines Day for the Hanson's

Okay, you know you're old when you quit celebrating Valentines Day. According to Troy (the most romantic man on the planet) Valentines Day is just a day for Hallmark to make a little more money. Which is probably true. However, Friday night we did go to dinner with the Smith's at Texas Roadhouse. We brought Mallory and Cameron with us and the Smith's brought their adorable Beck. So, I can't say that we didn't have a pre-Valentines Day date. But the extent of our Valentines Day was like this: I went to a movie with my sister's and niece at noon (Confessions of a Shopaholic), while Troy worked on the basement with Michael. Then for dinner we ordered Chinese food with the kids, then Troy and I went to the Rigby's and played games. Is that not the most romantic of Valentines Days? We quit giving gifts and cards a long time ago. So, thanks Rigby's for being the highlight of our Valentines day, playing Five Crowns and eating cheesecake.

SOUTH CAROLINA WITH MY SISTERS

THE SOUTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

It's true! The south will never be the same. After spending 10 days in South Carolina, I had the most amazing time. My sisters, Annette, Lorna, and I went to South Carolina on January 27th for our Dad's 86th Birthday (on the 28th). My Dad is so cute and sweet and it was wonderful to spend his birthday with him. We also spent a few days at Myrtle Beach and that was "crazy" fun too. Here are a few pictures from Dad's birthday. I will make a slide show of the rest of the pictures that aren't too embarrassing.
