Happy Birthday Mikayla!

Lynneah's b-day song to sis!

Mikayla's Baptism

Mikayla - it was such a beautiful day. I can't believe you are eight! Your baptism was wonderful and your excitement for it was very special. Watching you make that choice and go down into the water with your daddy waiting for you was something I'll never forget. You are such a great example to all of us.
Having so much family come for this special day made it just that much better. Having all the kids sing "I love to see the Temple" was a very tender moment. We love you sweetheart!!!

Mikayla's b-day

We celebrated Mikayla's b-day a little late. We had a whole houseful. They came for her baptism but we had a little craziness before. We had Bhakka, Boppa, Aunt Amie, Aunt Michelle & Uncle Dave, Landon and Mireya. And Grandpa & Grandma Hansen, Uncle Dellma & Aunt Victoria, and Aunt Amy. Thanks to everyone for coming. It was so wonderful to have you all. I know it meant a lot to Mikayla. I loved all the help with the Unicorn pinata and swimming pool cake and cookies and more and more!

Noah

My brother Eddie and his wife Bekka had their little boy! Noah Edward Hansen! What a cute little guy. Thanks for the pics Amy!

Hot Chocolate

Neah has finally learned to sleep a little better. We are only down to a couple times a night. Around 12 or 1 and then 3 or 4. The only way we even got that was to give her hot cocoa. We got this idea from NC. Thank you Beck's!! They give their kids cocoa babas (heated up chocolate milk) just before bed and they sleep amazingly. Well, Neah wont drink milk or chocolate milk but she LOVES hot cocoa! So now she has to sit on a chair and drink her cup with a straw. She'll do this and go straight to bed. No matter if it's 7:30 pm or midnight or 4 am.

OH and then there's a couple other fun photos. The kids are playing a little "peace train" (good old NC days - thanks Sam and Paul!). Then the second is priceless. We had a family over for dinner and Nano had been missing in action for a while. This is where I found him!
