These next two pictures are with her favorite teacher - Ms. Vining (music teacher of course)

and with her best friend Britney Jankowski!!

Graduate Shannon-

Oops - in May, Shannon gradutated from 6th grade!! We were so excited (or maybe we were stunned) that Kevin graduated from Mesa High we forgot to post Shan's graduation as well. Of course Doug doesn't really call it a graduation, it is more of an advancement. Anyway, here she is with her 6th grade teacher, Mr. Washington, who retired this year -hmm-after a year with Shannon - I wonder if that helped make his decision to retire any easier!

Father's Day....

Through Carolyn's early life her dad gave her the 'paddle', now she is returning the favor!! Look closely at the #1 on the headband. He loves it!!

Katie's Big Day

Katie belongs to the Mesa Club Volleyball team. This past Saturday they had their final tournament. And, not to brag as a mom, but of course they won. They won all 5 of their games and in so doing won the ever 'coveted' gold medal. They were there from 6am until 6pm. Katie had also just returned the night before (at midnight) from our Stake Youth Trek. This is where they dress as 'pioneers' might have and push/pull handcarts filled with their supplies for 12 miles in 2 days. A very exhausting task.

Baby Treyson

Treyson/Allan/Kevin

I'm just sitting here at Carolyns house helping to watch the boys. She just had Treyson, her 3rd son, and I get to be here for a few days. Today is Allan, my youngest's, birthday. He turned 11!! Can you believe it. I will try to add pictures later. I am still a 'newbie' at blogging. I have stepped into the world of making 'videos'. My #5 child, Kevin, is graduating from Mesa High in about a week and in the past his Grandma Hansen has given all of the kids 'videos' of their lives. So, I have a new computer and a new program and I am making Kevin's. With a little help from Jill, this is nearly done. I still need to add music and thats it. I feel proud of myself, but I know I'm not supposed too. Oh, well.

Ten Fold Revenge

At this year's DeWitt White Elephant Party, I warned everyone that if they left their "treasures" behind at my house, it would be returned to them 10 FOLD. Let's look at who it could have been this year and the revenge that ultimately followed. ........

Was it.........

Brad ?

Grandpa DeWitt ?

TJ ?

Julie ?

Allan ?

or Ken ?

Maybe you'll be able to guess by seeing the revenge.

Yep, it was Julie. I guess we'll have to wait until next year to see if she learned her lesson.
