Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

Christmas EVE Party

We went to my parents house for our annual Christmas Eve Party. I took family pictures for everyone. We had a nice dinner together, opened presents, and then hurried home to beat the winter storm that was on it's way! I love this picture of my dad.. He looks a lot like santa.. When he decides to retire.. I think he could rent himself out!

Colossians 3:20 "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord."

We wish you a.....

Luke 2: 1-21

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Precious

Joshua and Josiah just love each other. They are good brothers. We were getting ready for church and I get one ready.. set them in the chair.. I look over.. precious.. I just had to grab the camera and take this picture.

Hebrews 13:1 "Let brotherly love continue."

The Christmas Program

I was taking pictures of the Christmas Program when I realized that I have a video feature on my camera.. So this is toward the middle end. It is about 2 1/2 minutes long.. They are singing the 12 Days of Christmas.. after the kids sing then someone explains what that day represents. I know some of it is hard to hear. I have it zoomed in on Joshua and Jaden so I could see them better. The best part is toward the end when they are counting down. Watch Joshua.. he knew every word. Mrs. Brasel did a great job on it!

Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Christmas LIGHTS!

Friday night we went to Brigham City's Christmas Village. It was a lot of fun. Josiah was NOT a happy camper! Jaden's favorite display was the jail one. They had the Grinch in lock up, while the jailers were playing cards.. Joshua realized how much fun the snow is when he wears gloves! Christmas is coming very soon.. It is a wonderful time of year when we celebrate Jesus and His birth.

Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Hansen Christmas Party

Saturday we headed up to Grandpa and Grandma Hansen's for our family Christmas party.. We had a good time. We ate some chili and exchanged presents. Ryan's brother Roy had our name this year and they gave us Deal or NO Deal. We love to play games and we are looking forward to playing this one.. Thanks Roy and family.

Colossians 3:15 "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."

A Blessing..

Yesterday evening.. We were able to see just how good God is to us.. Jurney asked if we got the mail yet.. No not yet.. We were just heading out the door to go to Prayer Meeting at Church. Jurney walks in with a red envelope.. she says it's to dad. That's okay.. I take it , open it up, thinking it is just another Christmas card from someone we know.. and it is a check for $200... Wow, God is so good. We have no idea who did this.. I just think about how God wants us to be.. Thinking of others above ourselves. My mouth is still hanging open..

If you are reading this post please know that this was a real blessing to our family. We are thanking God for you!!




2 Corinthians 4 " Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."

Guess WHO??

You would not believe that some tape and a serious face could change the way someone looks so much. We were having so much fun last night... If you guessed Jaden, you were right! Jaden really was trying hard not to smile in this picture.

Psalms 144:15 "Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD."

~Baking with Mom~

My mother, me, Natalie, and Jurney spent a large part of Saturday baking for Christmas.. We made 32 loaves of Cranberry Nut Bread, 100+ homemade turtles (you know cashews with caramel and chocolate), and a pan of caramel.. It was a very fun and yummy day. Thanks mom, I had a great time with you! The Cranberry Nut Bread is a family favorite that my parents have done since I can remember.

Deuteronomy 5:16 "Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."

Bulletin Board for December

This is the bulletin board that I made for Jr. Church this month.. We are learning that Jesus is the best gift that anyone has ever been given. He was sacrificed for the sins of the whole world. All that we need to do is accept that free gift from Him. This gift, is the gift of Salvation.

Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

It's a Girl!

Congrats! to my very good friend Lara and her husband Pat. I just went to see their new baby tonight.. Her name is Elizabeth Rose and she is very cute.Lara said she is a good eater and already wearing 3 month clothing. They are very excited to welcome her to their growing family.. Elizabeth has 1 sister and 4 brothers waiting to meet her. Lara's parents are here from Washington to help make the transition smooth.

(This is the announcement that they will be using, I made it at scrapblog.com)

Proverbs 23:25 "Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice."

Happy Birthday to...

My Jurney is 14 today.. Who can believe such a thing? She has become such a beautiful young lady. She is such a great help and blessing to this family. She enjoys cooking, riding her bike, drawing, painting, singing, and just being a girl. She is very smart. She has been looking into college. I can not imagine her being away from us. She is growing up so fast. I am really treasuring these next few years with her. I love you, Jurney! Have a wonderful birthday!

Proverbs 31:10 "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."

Thankfulness!!!

Last night, we went to Berean Baptist Church's annual Musical Potluck. It is a wonderful time that we spend singing, playing musical instruments, and giving praises to God. I am very thankful for God and His mercies that He gives to me and my family each and every day. I praise Him for saving my soul. For showing me how to truly LOVE, through Christ Jesus. I hope that your day is a good one full of thanksgiving. Have a very Thankful Thanksgiving.. God Bless.

A Psalm of praise.

Psalm 100 "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."

Costume Party

Jurney and Jaden had a wonderful time at their Youth Costume party on Saturday. Jurney was a doctor and Jaden was a warrior. Jurney won a prize for best costume. Jaden won the prize for most original costume. Our Church has a great youth group! They have wonderful activities every month. My kids are so blessed to a part of it.

Proverbs 8:32 "Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways."

Little Sickies

Let me start from the beginning. The night before last Joshua woke up every 45 minutes crying.. Josiah just cried and whined almost the entire night. Stuffed noses and a cough.. I knew they were sick and I did not want another night like that again. I called and made them an appointment..Oh, you know how it is.. You take your kids to the doctor and they act like they are better. (note the picture) Sure enough, STREP THROAT! I had the doctor give them a shot to get it over with quick. Now, I am starting to get a sore throat and a headache.. Jurney has the same symptoms.. We will see the doctor tomorrow at 10! I will be glad to get this over with before Thanksgiving.

Matthew 9:12 "But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick."

That's Just Cute!

Joshua is so much fun! Jaden was getting his costume ready for our churches youth activity. (it's on November 22, from 11-2, for those of you who are interested!) So, Joshua just picked up Jaden's helmet and puts it on.. So, I go and grab the camera.. "Cheese" he says.. What a cute little boy.

Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"

Certified!

Ryan is now a certified, bonified Solderer. He just got his certificate in soldering. He is so smart! The guys in his class call him "the smart one". I am proud of my husband for going back to school to make a better life for us. He is a great dad, and a terrific husband. Way to go Ryan, for this accomplishment. This is the first of many certificates to come.

2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

This is for you, DAD!

My dad put Josiah in a box filled with packing paper. Josiah was loving it, eating it up.. So I took this picture with my dad's camera. My dad loves the way Josiah is making perfect eye contact here.. He is really into grabbing things and shoving them into his mouth.. He brings joy to his Grandpa!

Proverbs 17:6 "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers."

Fun With Grandma

We went to G&G Hansen this weekend.. They fed us a yummy lunch with fresh, homemade, chocolate chip cookies.. Oh they were still warm! Later, Ryan and Jaden helped Grandpa put chains, and the blade on the 4-wheeler. While they were outside working, Grandma was busy doing what she does best! Playing with the grand kids. Joshua just loves his Grandma Hansen. We had a very nice time.

Psalms 124:8 "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."

Missing Her!

Here is my beautiful Jurney. She is gone on a trip to Chesterton, Indiana. They are having a "Youth Empowered" conference at Fairhaven Baptist College. I am sure she is having a blast. She was so excited to be able to go. Today they are going to the dunes for a fun time. You would not think that having only one of your four children gone would make such a difference. I am here to tell you it does! I love you Jurney, and I can not wait for Saturday. (this is when she will be home!)

Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:"

Great Idea!

Jurney needed some new culottes. I have had this idea that you can take much larger slacks/pants and make them into a box-pleat culotte. Well, I have a sewing machine.. (I really have never learned how to use it yet.) I asked my friend Dana for help. She took them, and like 20 minutes ,BAM! here they are.. It was such a great idea. Jurney looks great in them. Thanks so much Dana!

1Timothy 2:9-10 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."

6 Months Already!

My baby is 6 months old today! Who can believe that? Time has flown by so fast. He is now eating mush, peas, squash, carrots, and pumpkin. He loves to eat! He is in 6-9month clothing. He weighs 14lbs, 24 1/2 inches long. He sits up, rolls over, scoots around.. You name it he is working on it. He has also become very vocal.. He screams when he is mad(not my favorite thing), says DA DA (of course this is Ryan's personal favorite). Yeah, they never say mama.. it is always DA DA. He is our last, and we enjoy him very much. Oh, I almost forgot, he gives big wet sloppy kisses. Happy 6 months to Josiah.

2Timothy 3:15 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."

Cast your VOTE!

This morning, Ryan and I headed to the polls. It was pouring rain. When we got there, we were fifth in line.. It was all electronic voting, which made me a little nervous. I thought to myself.. Hey if I can blog.. I am sure I can figure this thing out. 5 minutes later we were done. We live in a great country where we are given freedoms to vote and make our voices heard. I encourage everyone to get out and VOTE! You can make a difference.

1Corinthians 14:10 "There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification."

Bulletin Board

This is the bulletin board for the month of November. I thought that it would be fun for the kids to help decorate it. So we made hand turkeys in Jr. Church. We are learning about how God wants us to be thankful in everything. He is so good to us! He is worthy to be praised. What are you thankful for.. Are you giving God the glory?

1Thessalonians 5:18 "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

Eye Appointment

Friday, we headed down to Primaries Children's Hospital to see Dr. Robert Hoffman. The appointment was for Joshua. He has been seeing this doctor since he was 5 days old. For those who do not know, Joshua was born with what is called Marcus Gunn Jaw-Ptosis. He has had 5 different surgeries on his eye and is doing well. Dr. Hoffman said that Joshua, is doing so well, that he does not need to see him for 6 months. This is the longest stretch between appointments that we have ever had. We are thanking God for his blessings on Joshua and his eye.

Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:"

Psalms 4:8 "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety."

Distraction

UPDATE
Just to let you all know, I found out last night that they are dropping the case against us. They did not have any evidence to go forward. Our family is very happy.. You should have seen how relieved the kids were! I will have a letter within a weeks time stating this. Thank you to all who supported us through this horrible time. Praise be to God!

We had a great time yesterday as a family. We went to Angie's in Logan for what is called the............ "KITCHEN SINK". It is basically a huge banana split with anything and everything on it. Yummy! Then we headed over to Grace Baptist Church for Pastor Appreciation Month. My Pastor preached a great message about enjoying your Christianity. God is good so enjoy it. It was nice to get our mind off of things. Somebody this week called and filed a false report against us to DCFS. So by law, they had to send a caseworker to our house to interview the kids.. What a horrible thing to do to a family. We just wanted to show the kids that we will be alright and that things could and would go back to normal.

1Peter 1:7 "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"

Psalms 100:4 "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

1Thessalonians 4:9 "But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another."

Cereal

Malt-O-Meal had a sale on Saturday.. All bags of cereal $1..UNLIMITED! Wonderful. So me and Ryan got up early to go and stand in line. We arrived 30 minutes before it was to start. The line was already half a block long.. So we get in line and start filling out our order forms.. We were almost to the front of the line.. I mean .. 2 people were before us and they (Malt-O-Meal) decide to issue a limit on quantities.. Bummer..15 bags per person. Oh well, me and Ryan were still able to get 30 bags of cereal.. It took us 1 1/2 hours total. When we left.. The line was well over 2 to 3 blocks long. I praise God for the opportunity to get such a killer deal on cereal.

Proverbs 28:20 "A faithful man shall abound with blessings:but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. "

Hot Date!!

Tonight we are ALONE!! That is right, for the first time in a long time... we have NO KIDS! My lovely parents took them for the night. The Brasel's, (who were ever so kind.... Thank You!) took us out to a very yummy and nice dinner. We borrowed some clean flicked movies, and were on our way. I just want to say that Ryan is such a good husband. I thank God for him. I love you, Mr. Hansen!

Song of Solomon 5:16b "This is my beloved, and this is my friend..."

Fun with Friends

My friend Lara, had us over for dinner Monday night. Here we are feeding the kids. Yes, there is a lot of kids in this picture.. 4 of them are mine. The rest Lara's. She made home made lasagna for us.. I brought banana squash.. MMMM. Then we loaded up in their new 15 passenger van. Found a country road and lit fireworks. It was so fun..

1John 4:11 "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."

You say Tomato.. I say Tomoto

Well, I really don't say tomoto. It just sounded good! We caught the news at my parents house last Friday night. The weather man said to expect a winter storm.. SO... we had to go out and uproot the garden. Jaden spent 2 hours Saturday morning picking all of this. I guess it is time to make salsa.

Leviticus 25:19 "And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety."

Fix It

I was peeling carrots into the sink for dinner. BIG mistake. Carrots can and will clog your garbage disposal. I had this happen several years ago. I thought that if I ran the disposal after a couple of carrots this would not happen again. Wrong! It clogged it up. Good thing Jaden is smart. Here he is showing me, that if we take off this pipe we can get to the clog. 10 minutes later and it was fixed... Thanks Jaden!

Proverbs 13:1 "A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke."

Creative

Jaden or should I say "Moth Man" was having a good time. He is wearing bug eyed goggles. His grandmother got them for his birthday. They just came the other day. They make you see the way a bug would see. What an imagination he has!

Psalms 71:5 "For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth."

Seasons

This is Natalie, my little sister. She called me and asked if I would go and take some Fall pictures of her and her husband. I said absolutely! This is one of my favorite pictures of them. Scott and Natalie have been married for just over a year now. They live in Clinton, Utah. I still can not believe that my baby sister is married and all grown up. Her favorite time of the year is fall.

Genesis 1:14 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"

Bulletin Board

I made this for Jr. Church, we are memorizing Psalm chapter 1. This idea came from verse 3. We want to be like this tree. Planted in the perfect spot, bearing fruit when it is just the right time. We can be like this tree. Psalm one tells us how!

Psalm 1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."

Burn Baby Burn

This slide show is some pictures of the old McKinley School burn. If you do not know we had several earthquakes last year. One of those earthquakes made this building (now senior center/museum/ you name it, it was there) unstable. So the Tremonton, Garland, Brigham and Logan fire departments decided to have a little practice run. They set it on fire Friday, around 10:30ish. I had front row seats. It was amazing. The heat that came off of the building was so intense. I came straight home downloaded the camera and then had to run. When I got around to blogging it, I found that ALL the really good pictures were somehow erased. So my friend sent me a couple of her pictures so you could see just how neat this really was.
Jeremiah 23:29 "Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"

Meow

Poor Kitty. Jurney heard this cat crying yesterday morning.. I said ignore it. Then last night me and Ryan were going out.. I heard meow meow... Poor Kitty. So I go and look for it. This cat was hit by a car and is now lame. I had to call the Garland Police to come and pick it up. Poor Kitty.

Proverbs 26:7 "The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools."

Paint

I have been helping my friend Stacey paint her bathroom. This is her main bathroom. She hired someone to re-do it. This project has been going on for 3 months. The tile is beautiful. I love the color she has chosen for the walls. It is a very warm color. When, (did I say WHEN) this bathroom gets done it will be very nice.

Psalms115:11 "Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield."

Congratulations!

This is Ryan James. He was born yesterday at 10:30pm. He was 6 pounds and 19 1/2 inches. He has a head full of hair.. He looks just like his daddy! His mother is a good friend of mine. They are in the process of getting their brand new home finished. Congratulations to the NEW proud parents.

Proverbs 23:25 "Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice".

Candy Sale

Today, I took my Pastor's boys out Candy Selling.(Jaden just likes to help them) They sell chocolate every year to raise money for their school. They attend Berean Baptist Christian Academy in Ogden. The cost is $2.00. They have milk, dark, and crisp chocolate bars. I bought one myself and I must say the milk chocolate is the best. If you are interest in purchasing any please e-mail me. If you would prefer you can make a donation. The fundraiser ends Friday.

Genesis 43:22 "And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food:"

Full House

I have a house full tonight. I am babysitting for a good friend of mine. She has 5 kids and one on the way. They went to Maddox for dinner.. Yum! The 2 older boys are in Karate. They enjoy it very much. We are watching a movie and going to have some popcorn. Have a great evening Patrick and Lara!

Proverbs 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother".

Paul, Idaho

We went to Paul, Idaho on Saturday. Ryan's brother Ralph just moved there from California. It was his son's birthday. Wade is now 20 years old. Happy Birthday to Wade. He has taught himself to play the piano. He played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" for us. It sounded beautiful!

1Samuel 16:17 "And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me".

Physical Therapy

My right hand kills! So I thought I must have corporal tunnel. Well I do, but it is mild. So my doctor sends me over to physical therapy. Today was my 3rd session. Who would have ever thought that to make it better you have to use it more!? Not me. These are the items I use. Do not let the rubber band fool you it is the worst one. I am there for about an hour 3 times week. I am already starting to feel relief.

1Timothy 4:8 "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."

Sleep

Josiah was not a happy camper last night. His tummy was killing him. It started yesterday morning. He just wanted to eat, eat, eat. So I fed, fed, fed.. How much can one kid eat? Well then night came.. He just cried and screamed. He wanted to eat, but eating made it worse.. So finally I put him in the swing. After a few minutes(of screaming) he was out. Thank God for small miracles!

Psalms 132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,"

Laundry and Babies

I am working hard to keep up with laundry. When I am doing my laundry I lay Josiah on the dryer. I thinks he likes the feeling of the dryer. I can only do this for a few more weeks. I use to be right on top of my laundry. I can not believe just how much laundry one little person can create! I now have Jurney and Jaden doing their own to try to help with the overwhelming amount of laundry.

Numbers 31:24 "And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp".
