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!!!

Bob the Builder and Skiing

so blair and I were at Lowes and saw these cool planter boxes. They wanted 40$ per box, so blair and I looked at eachother and he said "we can make that!" so we bought the wood and put our newly purchased router to the test. Blair did most of the work, I was more of a "construction" helper. blair stained the 2 boxes when he was done so I will take some pics of them with my tomato plants (once I get a tomato!!!)


Blair loves handy-man work, and he's pretty good at it!!!

Me and My Ski

you see that chop!? I got hosed on the water selection :)

this is my first ski this year, with my new ski that Blair got me for our anniversary.
the water was really cold (the water was 58 degrees), so I wore my shorty. the water is great now though! Blair's really excited that I'm enjoying something he loves to do.

The Fourth!!! I'm 22!!

the manly sport of rubberband-airplane flying
Man she's cute, both mom and baby!

Me, Sarah, and Becky....o yeah Becky's pregant :). She's due in a few weeks! Go baby Hunter!

Jared and Beck got me some mike and ikes for my birthday, so I was gladly sharing with the kids who thought they would look really good all over my white frosted cake

Blair was on sparkler duty and the kids were keeping him busy asking "can I have two uncle blair?"!

Nomi and her sparkler

you see that taffy in Eden's hand? Well, being the aunt I am, I fed it to her piece by piece. of course she's got to have some taffy, its the fourth of July parade!!! psst... don't tell Katie

Baby Eden enjoying the fire works. Apparently she wanted to sit alone

This is Veronica's newest addition, Benjamin, who Tavie kindly named "Bean". He really liked Blair. He would back into him to have Blair pick him up. it was pretty cute.

Aunt Donna rocks, of course, and got us all sorts of fun things to play with. Here is Evan and Jared trying to teach Britton how to use the rubber band airplane. I tagged Sarah with it 3 times ( I have great aim)


Tavie and Naomi with sparklers. We started early with the fireworks. We had a lot of sparklers to burn through!!!


This is Thank you in sign language from our cute niece, Eden


we hope everyone is having a great summer, I know we are.
not the best picture, but a fun one!!
