Thanksgiving

Blair, Me, Becky and Jared. We were so glad to have Jared and Becky come visit us for Thanksgiving. We had a really great time with them here. We love them very much!

Although this picture is fun and cute, this did not end well! Britton got his little hand caught under the pipe as he pulled back to shoot the cork. poor Britton

The girls kept fighting over Britton. He was the new "boy" it was great!

Here's Blair carving the turkey. we had two turkeys. Kreg deep fried one and then we cooked the other. needless to say, they were amazing

Hunter Hanson and Tysen Shelby. They are only one day apart. they were so cute lying on the ground with eachother. they kept getting their arms caught around eachother

My homemade Marshmallows. This year I decided to make some fun shapes. The hearts fit perfectly in a hot cocoa cup! (I made them especially for Jared)

Mile High Apple Pie-- This recipe is a winner

Chocolate Meringe Pie.

It was pretty good

Here's Reece trying to pull the girls in the wagon. He soon turned around and asked Blair if he would keep pulling the girls and the apples. Reece is one of the sweetest kids I know.

Here's Reece and his uncle Blair

We are under a tent hiding from the rain. It kept sprinkling on and off. Truly a fall day

Kiersten, Kalle, Kreg, and Baby Tysen (the shelby family)

Emmy and Aunt Becca

Luke. He kept trying to roll the pumpkins, making his own stash of good ones

Emmy and Elyse loving the apples

Ly-see bug is Kyndra's and Aaron's youngest. She's hilarious. She can hardly muster a smile, but when you get one its totally worth it.

Kalle sharing her pumpkin with me

Alec picking out his favorite pumpkins!

Every fall we go to GreenBluff and pick apples and pumpkins. We have famouse pumpkin donuts and walk around the orchard with nieces and nephews on foot and in the wagon. This year was a lot of fun. I even made an apple pie after.

Blair's Real Backroll

You will have to excuse the screaming and yelling in the background, the passengers in the boat couldn't contain themselves.

Rolands, Rogers, and a Hanson

me and my lovely sisters! I'm so glad that they came to visit me!!! I love you guys!!!

Here's Tavie already pretending she's younger.

here's Hannah, she met her objective that weekend to go across the wake all the way, toe side.

here she is, she' couldn't get enough.

the Rogers Family. Tavie loved being on the boat. She kept saying "my boat, my boat"

Sarah and Hannah before Blair flipped them

Here's Hannah Wake Surfing.

Hannah, Sarah, Evan, and Tavie all came to visit! we had a really good time! We went camping at Lake Roosevelt and went wakeboarding and waterskiing all weekend. We had tons of smores and hotdogs too. Tavie loved the marshmallow "moshmalo"

Cheers to you Sandra Lee

So I watched the food network a while ago and saw Sandra Lee make corn dogs, didn't look too hard. Well as many of you know the Spokane County Fair is going on and rather than get ripped off ($5) for a corn dog, We decided to make our own.... ps...they rocked!

You should definetly try this at home!

Wakeboarding Mania

I thought this was a pretty cool picture that kiersten took of me in the water. the water looks really rad with all the old pilings sticking out. You can even see my pink toe nails :)

This is my "air" silhouette. Abby this could be you if you and Brian come visit!

Blair's latest backroll attempt. He's soo CLOSE!!! he's going so BIG!

So we pretty much can't get enough of wakeboarding. The water is starting to get cold, which is pretty sad, but we are making the best of the time that we have. We have been able to spend some time with family on the boat this summer and its been great! (blair is totally going to land the backroll this week!!!)

Hunter Indiana

This is the little man after the blessing. He did so well!!! and so he's so handsome
Here's Blair holding Hunter

Very happy grandparents

The Hanson Family II

Britton, Becky, Hunter, and Jared

We are so excited to have another nephew. Here's us with Hunter at Jared and Beck's beautiful home!

For labor day we drove to Idaho and stayed with the family in Challis. Jared and Becky were blessing their son and it was wonderful. Dad, Mom, Sarah, Evan, Tavie, and us were all able to be there from our side of the family.

Who knew Jared could have a hand in making cute babies hehehe. (thank goodness for Becky :))

Two New Nephews

Mom and Dad (Kiersten and Kreg Shelby)

proud Aunt and Uncle

Here's me holding Baby Tysen. He was so cute!!

Blair holding Tysen. Tysen got the hiccups while Blair was holding him.

Tysen Blaine was born on Sunday and weighed 8lbs. I'm not sure how long he was, but he's a good looking baby.
We weren't sure what he was going to look like, but he doesn't have red hair like his sister, his hair is more like Kreg's. We are really excited for them!!!

Jared and Becky had their second on Monday! Becky gave birth in like 2 hours, she's a freakin stud! They named their little guy Hunter Indiana Hanson. He was 7lbs 14oz and 20in long. we can't wait for pictures of him!!!
