A Visit From the Hansens.

It's always a party when we visit Washington.  Playing with Grandma and Grandpa AND all the cousins too! We were able to do some fun things...

Walked along the Columbia River at Howard Amon Park, had a picnic in the park and played in the river. Grandma with Shauna's kids.

Snuck in Grandpa's farm equipment (Casen).

 One of the favorites... 4-wheeler rides with Grandpa around and through the whole farm. 

Spotting watermelon and smelling onions.

 We always enjoy a good baseball game with Grandpa.  Zayne, Marshall, Haylee and Grandpa.

Thanks for entertaining us.  We had a great time.  We hope to see you again... SOON!  Love you tons.

24th Celebration.

We always tease Mom that our church (and her ward) always have a birthday celebration for her every year!  Her birthday is on the 24th of July! In reality they are celebrating the 24th of July in remembrance of all the pioneers coming to the Salt Lake Valley.  The Columbia Basin Ward enjoyed a night of pioneer reenactment, pictures, homemade ice-cream (where Mom has won in the contest every year with her Tutti-fruiti ice-cream) and fun with friends. If I would have attended I would have made it feel like a celebration for my Mom too!  Happy Birthday Mom.  You are a wonderful example to us all!
