When We Count Our Blessings ...

... we count our Nana twice!

Dayne has always been a fan of chocolate and doesn't pass an opportunity to indulge! Here she is enjoying marshmallow brownies!

Hunter always loved to sleep in our bed ... and Dayne was no different! Here they are snuggling ...well, more Dayne taking over the bed and anyone who got in her way! Dayne still loves to sleep with me, but luckily ... Hunter has long outgrown it!

Graden & Tiffany - March 2009

While at a surprise birthday party for a friend, someone was kind enough to snap this picture of Graden and I!

3rd Grade Talent Show

Dayne surprised us all by trying out for the talent show in 2008 (3rd grade)! She performed with a classmate and they sang Hannah Montana's song, "See You Again."

Here, she is pictured with the rose that her Nana sent for her!

"Baby Mine"

"Baby Mine" is the song that I have sang to Hunter from the day he was born. This is Hunter and me dancing to "Baby Mine" at our wedding. This is one of my most cherished memories and photos.

Here are the lyrics:

Baby mine, don't you cry.

Baby mine, dry your eyes.

Rest your head close to my heart,

never to part,baby of mine.

Little one when you play,

don't you mind what they say.

Let those eyes sparkle and shine,

never a tear,baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you

they'd end up loving you two.

All of those people who scold you

what they'd give

just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes,

you're not much, goodness knows.

But you're so precious to me,

sweet as can be, baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you,

they'd end up loving you too.

All those same people who scold you,

what they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head

down to your toes

you're not much,

goodness knows.

But you're so precious to me,

sweet as can be,

baby of mine.

Baby of mine.

Dayne - 4 Years

Dayne and Parker Swimming - Summer 08

Dayne and one of her friends, Parker, swimming at the community pool! They had the whole pool to themselves and loved it!

Dayne and Tiffany - December 2004

Dayne and Tiffany at my mom's wedding in December 2004. I love this picture!

Dayne & Zoe - Dog Island 2008

Dayne and her cousin Zoe on Dog Island - July 2008. The girls had a great time and Dayne was so grateful to get to go to Dog Island for the 2nd year in a row. Interested in Dog Island? Click here to find out more about this slice of heaven!

Enjoy The Good Times

Kylie (and TJ) came back with me over Spring Break 2009. Here, Dayne and Kylie enjoying some time in the jacuzzi bath! I really should have included pics of what the bathroom looked like AFTER bath time! It was clear they had a good time, though!

Papa & Hunter on the Hammock

August 1998 - Hunter and Papa enjoying some bonding - and R&R! - time in the hammock at Papa's house

Hansen Family Photo - August 2008

What is funny about this pic is that I also have a picture of the moments leading up to this picture. It involved me physically separating Hunter and Dayne. They were not making this moment easy on me.

How Do I Love Thee?

This picture was taken at my work party in December 1998. The reasons (listed) why I love Graden:

* Your blue eyes

* Being a great father

* Your tenacity

* Your unending patience

* Your sense of humor

* The inspiration you give me

Hunter - April 1999

Just a few months before our newest family member (Dayne) was to join us we took Hunter for his photo. Doesn't he look so proper and adorable? The pic of him with all the fishing gear will always be one of my favorites! It was such an accurate depiction of him!
