2009-09-27T19:24:00.000-07:00

We spent a beautiful last of summer day at the ranch to celebrate Zach's 19th birthday. It was all topped off by a swim with the horses!

Yeah!!!! Jess is OK.

2009-09-27T19:17:00.000-07:00

Jess had a run in with a car while she was on her bike. We spent a scary night in the trauma unit at the University of Utah. She has ended up with a lot of scrapes, bruises, and a broken wrist. She will be evaluated this week to see is further surgery is needed. We also found that her helmet was broken and busted! YeaH for helmets!!!

Hansen Lake Powell Trip

2009-09-08T15:56:00.000-07:00

Off we go on the grand adventure. So fun to have the kids in the car with us. Giant fans are Charlie's favorite.

Two beautiful boats.

Hiking like the big kids.

Thank you Kent and Steve for your extreme generosity!!!!!!

MAX

2009-09-01T16:43:00.001-07:00

On August 29, 2009, we lost a wonderful member of our family. Max was my walking partner, friend, and loyal member of our family. He has summited King's Peak more than any member of our family. He has comforted sad kids and welcomed us home. I miss him terribly!

Thanks Max.....I love you!

First Trip Back with the Tingey Baucom Boat

2009-09-01T16:32:00.001-07:00

Zach's Great Summer

2009-09-01T16:16:00.001-07:00

First the boys go to senior trip in Newport Beach. Second they pile into the"clown" car and head out to Seattle to visit big Bro.

Next it is to Kings Peak with Dad. Then off to hike to Grayling with more friends.

Most importantly Zach's mission call came!!!! He is going to Quezon City, Phillippines. He leaves on Dec. 16 during finals week.

Hansen Family Reunion 2009

2009-06-30T20:03:00.001-07:00

The Hansen Family Reunion was at the Yellowstone Ranch. We had a great time together!!! We really missed our kids that were not there!

Senior Trip

2009-06-22T07:10:00.001-07:00

A week on the beach of Newport with 50 of your closest friends! What a great way to end a year.

The beauties and the beasts!

William got his mission call to Manause, Brazil while we were on the beach.

What is better than digging a hole, and then sitting in it? Maybe sleeping with your best friends in one bed.

Zach's Graduation

2009-06-22T07:02:00.000-07:00

Graduation was held at the "U". Bobbi and I finally graduated too!

The A'capella sang at the ceremony. This is the only straight on picture of Zach I could get (top middle).

The traditional light post picture.

Farewell Assembly

2009-06-09T17:43:00.000-07:00

The final assembly was Tuesday morning.

Pre-Graduation Party

2009-06-09T17:24:00.001-07:00

On Monday night, Carli Schneider had a picture and bbq party for her friends. What a great idea to invite all to come and take pictures of our seniors! Boy I love these kids!

Zach's Seminary Graduation

2009-06-07T18:38:00.001-07:00

Graduation is a great excuse to put your arms around the girls.

Moving Day

2009-06-07T15:45:00.001-07:00

Sid the Dad, and Sidney L.'s family left on Thursday, June 4. I am so happy for them in their new adventure. I am so sad for me in having my family move. It has been so absolutely idealic to have them so close. Liz is the perfect daughter-in-law and has been so good to us. She has become one of my own. How lucky am I to have four great daughters?? Our house is missing "my boys". I have put the toys away, and closed the nursery door. Come and visit soon!!!

They made it all the way to Seattle in one day! What troopers!

2009-06-01T07:24:00.000-07:00

On Sunday May 30, the Hansens gathered to say good bye, congratulations, good luck and "isn't family great! We really missed Steven's family (who for some reason didn't fly up from New Mexico) and the Strates (Paige was really sick). Sidney L.'s family is leaving for Seattle this week, Zach and Sidney graduate, and McKenzie is awaiting her mission call!!!! A lot of changes for our little family, but all very exciting.

Awards Assembly

2009-06-01T07:22:00.001-07:00

Zach and Rem have had a fun, great, and successful high school experience.

A New Scooter

2009-06-01T07:17:00.001-07:00

Charlie got a new scooter today and asked me to take pictures of his first performance. Jack was uninterested in the camera, but Charlie asked me to take pictures of his brother too.

Dr. Sid Graduates From Medical School

2009-05-26T21:25:00.001-07:00

This was such a wonderful emotional day. Sid and I couldn't be prouder of "little" Sid and his wife. They have accomplished something quite wonderful. To make it even more special; Sid's father in law, Roger Boyer, was able to "hood" Sidney as he is a Trustee of the University of Utah. Sid hates it when I write anything about his accomplishments, but I have to this time. He was named Surgical Student of the year and a member of Alpha Omega Alpha. It was quite a day.

Memorial Day at the Ranch 2009

2009-05-26T20:47:00.000-07:00

It was an ideal weekend at the ranch. We worked, we played, we sat around, most of all we enjoyed being together.

It is always fab when we find a stinky snake on the pipe.

Jess and Zach crossed the res. eventhough it was raging. They hiked up Cow Canyon and down Harmston Basin.

Sid's Attic Foray

2009-05-22T16:06:00.000-07:00

Sid is such a talented hard working guy. He is moving my washer and dryer to the back bedroom. It has been quite the project. He had to climb up on our attic to run wire for the washer and dryer. It was awful. I had to smile at the outfit though.

Last Choir Preformance

2009-04-29T08:42:00.000-07:00

Zach N. Rem

After 16 years of choir performances at Highland, the very last one was on April 23. Maybe some day Zach will be glad I took pictures??????

Honor Society Induction

2009-04-29T08:37:00.001-07:00

I know it is weird to blog about everything in our lives, but I feel this sense of urgency as our family is changing so much. Zach's Honor Society Induction was great. Morgan spoke and did such a great job. It is interesting to see my oldest and youngest boy's experiences come full circle.

Highland Choir Trip

2009-04-15T12:18:00.000-07:00

Since these are probably the only pictures of the Choir trip to San Francisco that we will ever see, I thought I should post them. The choir will be taking classes and preforming, but more importantly...."hanging out"!

Easter 2009

2009-04-15T11:59:00.000-07:00

For the first time in about 15 years we were home for Easter! I missed the warm sun, however it was the best Easter ever. We spent the evening before decorating eggs with the little boys. They made wonderful works of art to decorate our Easter table.

It was great sharing an Easter dinner with a few Tingeys, Strates, and Baucoms. I can't beleive I didn't get a picture of Mary and biggest Sid!

And of course we have to finish an Easter afternoon by teaching Charlie to long board!

Another example of Monkey see Monkies do!

2009-03-26T14:02:00.001-07:00

Sid rode his bike to work for the first week of the year.

Zach spent the afternoon working on the bike with no training wheels.

Sid's Day of Skeleton(ing?)

2009-03-26T13:52:00.000-07:00

Sid learning his skills at the Olympic park.

Charlie and Jack pulling their boards to the top of the hill.

Look at the skills and form!!!!

Daniel's Summit 2-21-2009

2009-02-22T16:55:00.000-08:00

The night before we left for Daniel's Summit the boys came over to watch a movie with us.

Lotsa fun and sun in the snow!

The boys did not want to get off the snowmobiles.

For the second weekend in a row, we went snowmobiling. This time with a great big thank you to Papa Sid for giving us a great Daniel's Summit weekend. We had a blast, but really missed Matt and Paige!

President's Day Weekend at the Ranch

2009-02-16T18:51:00.000-08:00

The entire family went up to the ranch for President's Weekend this year!

The boys dressed up and off to the reserviour on the pipe we went. It was a winter wonder land.

Jess and Sidney taught Charlie to ski!

We skiied, snowmobiled, played with the ice castles, and just hung out. What a blast!

Christmas Morning

2009-02-16T18:42:00.000-08:00

Smallest to tallest, we come up to see if Santa left anything.

Charlie got a new cape, and Dad got a new gun.

Zach reads a new book to Jack.

Who has the most fun? I think Grandma!!!

Making Cookies for Christmas

2009-02-16T18:37:00.000-08:00

We had a great time making cookies for the neighbors.

HAM Dance 2008

2008-12-19T16:20:00.001-08:00

As H.A.M. President Zach has to present a skit at the Christmas assembly. He and his friends chose to do the Nutcracker and interpret the "Dance Company" number.

Winter Prom 2008

2008-12-14T15:00:00.001-08:00

Another year has come and gone. It seems like I just posted last year's picture! Zach went with Maile Richardson and had a great time. How fun to go to your last Winter Prom with such a good friend.

A Santa Fe Thanksgiving.

2008-12-03T14:22:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday, November 26, the Baucom's and Tingey's hit the road with Sante Fe as our destination.

We had to make a few stops along the way! Among our favorites were the temple in Monticello, lunch in Cortez, and Four Corners!

Lindsay and Jess are so cute and original.

Steven and Caren's home is absolutely beautiful inside and out. We loved the architecture. The Hansen's were so generous with food, home, and tons of fun.

We play while Steven is hard at work on our Thanksgiving dinner.

After dinner we played Rock Band and slept off our full stomachs.

On Friday we had a great game of tennis. We are soooo sporty. Then we spent the afternoon in Sante Fe eating and shopping. I am really sorry that I left my camera in the car. It was great! We love Santa Fe.

On Saturday we all piled in the cars and went to Bandilier National Park. We hiked through indian ruins. It was beautiful and a blast!

Lindsay lectured at every stop from the guide book. We are not only sporty, we are so educated. It really was interesting.

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. We missed our family that was not there. We thought of them every minute. We are so grateful for our Fam!

The road home was gorgeous. We went home through Durango.

Contemplating the surroundings.

One of our favorite stops on the way home was Pagosa Springs, Colorado. We have got to go back and stay.

We spotted Santa with his posse in Durango.

We hit a wonder and scary snow land as we crossed the high mountains out of Durango.

What a great Hansen Thanksgiving! Thank you Steven, Caryn, Nick, and Emily for being so nice to us!

Rock Singer!

2008-12-03T14:19:00.001-08:00

Sid and his "rock band" , the Navitunes, performed at The Canyons.

Senior Night

2008-12-03T14:11:00.001-08:00

It was a great win and an emotional night for Zach's last home game.

Fall Cleanup

2008-12-03T13:59:00.001-08:00

We spent a great November weekend picking up leaves. It was a beautiful day of work and play!

We put the whole family to work.

Finally, Jack had enough!

Cottonwood vs. Highland

2008-10-05T08:01:00.001-07:00

The game did not go the way we had hoped. Miscues and mistakes on our part cost us. Zach had a great game though. He had eight tackels, four receptions (one for first down, one touchdown), and an interception. This is a picture from the Deseret News. No more loses!!!!!

Jessica and Matt's Golden Birthday

2008-08-27T16:54:00.001-07:00

We went to Bonsai for the party. We had a great time watching the chef prepare our meal. Although Charlie and Jack were not quite sure about the "big fire". HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT AND JESS!!!!!!

Zach's First Day of School

2008-08-27T16:52:00.000-07:00

Zach's First Game as a Senior

2008-08-27T16:42:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that my baby is starting his senior year. The first game of the season was played in the Utah State stadium against Mountain Crest. The Rams did not prevail, this time, but Zach played a great game. He was just happy to be back on the field.

Charlie Turns 4!!!!

2008-08-27T16:34:00.001-07:00

Charlie is 4!!!! Liz threw a darling party for 20 of his closest friends. The kids played in the water, broke a pinata(sp?), and played pin the goggles on Charlie. What a great mom! Jack enjoyed the party too!

Fast Ranch Weekend with the boys!

2008-07-27T14:33:00.000-07:00

We headed for the ranch on Friday, July 25. Papa Sid and Bob were very kind to welcome us. We spent another idealic weekend. The boys are becoming real cowboys.A

When we leave a TV on the porch.

2008-07-27T14:27:00.000-07:00

Sid purchased a large screen TV from Robbie Flandro (great idea...bad idea). It does not fit in the basement. If you leave a TV on your porch, a party will ensue. Paige and Matt brought over "Rock Band". They gave a concert in the back yard.

Jack and Max were not really interested

Pioneer Trek

2008-07-27T14:10:00.001-07:00

On July 10 , 2008, we set off on Parley's Stake's youth Pioneer Trek. This was an honor and a blessing to be involved with. It was a spiritual, fun, hard, dirty and wonderful experience.

Kathryn and the Young Women's leadership set off in their vehicle to set up the sites along the way. Shelly looks fab....me not so great.

One of the advantages is to be able to take pictures of your own child.

The night's resting place. Sid delivering the mail on the "pony express".

The grand conclusion was a testimony meeting in the world's most beautiful chapel.

Two Little Boys Perform at Little Gym

2008-05-21T17:04:00.001-07:00

Two darling monkeys.

The boys were wonderful, but I am positive I had more fun than they did.

Sunday BBQ w/Nielsen's

2008-05-21T16:39:00.000-07:00

We had a great Sunday BBQ with the Nielsens. We will have to do this more because it made for a great Sunday. The women chatted and solved the problems of the world.

The boys played their favorite game. Hit a tennis ball as high as possible and then try and catch it. I love that they can do this for hours.

Max just enjoys his position as king of the Baucom family.

Mesquite 2008

2008-04-06T08:43:00.000-07:00

With so many going to places hither and yan for spring break, we decided to hit the glorious city of Mesquite. Our room was right below this rather discreet sign. OK so it was just a little tacky. However, the golf was sooo fun and beautiful. I wish my play could even touch normal though.

This was my one good shot. It was off the cliff on a 3 Par. Of course I shanked the putt and got par, but I was really happy.

Good times!!!!!!

Paige...Matt...and the Mooses

2008-03-03T20:48:00.001-08:00

Paige and Matt were running the Red Butte trail on Saturday. They came around the corner and ran right into a Cow Moose and her baby. The mother chased them off for what seemed a very long time. Finally Paige, Matt, and Driggs ran up onto a cliff face and escaped the "mad" mom. Let this be a warning to you, never let a Mom think you might hurt her baby. That goes double for me!!!!

Flowers For Brandon's Wedding Dinner

2008-03-03T17:00:00.003-08:00

These are for Jessica's benefit. I think Bobbi did a great job!

Emily Kate Hansen is Sealed to Her Family!

2008-03-03T16:53:00.000-08:00

What a blessing to be able to join with Steven and his family in the Salt Lake Temple. We were able to watch Emily Kate be sealed as a member of the Hansen family.

We celebrated that evening in the normal Hansen way.......with FOOD!

Freak East

2008-03-03T16:31:00.000-08:00

Freak East is always a proud moment for any family. I thought you should all enjoy the beauty of your little brother!

Liz and Paige's Birthday Parties

2008-01-28T17:24:00.000-08:00

We met for Paige's birthday at China Star....Yum. Happy Birthday Paigeee.!!!!!!

We went to dinner at Citrus Grill for Liz's birthday. Food does seem to be a common theme. It was good to get together. Charlie got a bloody nose as he was running from Uncle Zach. OOPS! We had birthday cake on Sunday night for Liz. We figure Liz deserves a lot of birthdays for being such a wonderful mom and supportive wife!

Jack wasn't feeling well, but it sure is fun to hold him when he will hold still.

Sunday in Altonah

2008-01-13T20:04:00.001-08:00

We left right after church on Sunday, January 13, 2008. Jessica is heading back to NY so we figured it would be a good "country" outing to go to Altonah.

It was snowing in SL, but absolutely beautiful in the basin.

We got to meet the newest Baucom horse. Her name is Calamity Jane. She is very young and hyper and hadn't been handled much. Dad gave us a great training lesson. The other horses seemed happy to see us. The dogs ran and we had such a great day.

We are so blessed and thrilled to spend time in the mountains with the ponies.

Happy New Year 2008!!!!

2008-01-11T09:46:00.000-08:00

We began our wild and crazy New Year's Eve with dinner at Sid's favorite restaurant, Pei Wei.

Then we were off to our new favorite activity, playing WI at Tingey's.

Happy New Year's from the hot tub at Tingey's!!!!!

Week between Christmas and New Year's Day

2008-01-11T07:35:00.000-08:00

This year we spent our holiday week going to basketball games. Highland held an alumni tournament. Steven even came to town to play. We all had a blast watching Steven, Matt, and Sid play with their high school friends. It was so great to see all the players, but the crowd probably had more fun catching up with friends from the "old days". How great it was to meet the children of our child's friends. What a great way to spend a week. I only wish I hadn't forgotten my camera! Thanks Kerry for this one!

Christmas Day 2007

2007-12-29T14:37:00.000-08:00

We are so lucky to have our kids and grand kids across the street. Sid and Liz had Santa come to our house because, "we have a chimney for Santa to come down." It was so fun to have the wonder of a three year old to see what Santa brought. Paige and Matt, Jessica, and Zach were all together this morning. Papa brought a new sled that was delivered at his house!

Next it is off to Kent's house for the cousin gift exchange and breakfast. We really missed our Dad, but we had each other (except Steve and family).

At night the whole Hansen family met for dinner at the Baucoms. Emma Lou and Frank presided over our Hansen cousin dinner. DeeAnn, Scott, Amanda, and their families represented the Hopkins. Kirk and Kevin and their darling families were there for the Jowers. Shelly, Kent, and Teri Lyn and their families represented the Hansens. Steven even came in town the next day! It is so important to us to be together.

Christmas Eve at Bob and Papa Sid's Home

2007-12-29T13:39:00.000-08:00

The great thing about Christmas is gathering with family! We meet every Christmas Eve at Bob and Papas for a wonderful evening. Since I have no idea how to blog, I posted this exactly opposite of the correct order of things. First, we have a turkey dinner and completely gorge ourselves. Then we have our bell choir. Everyone has to join in and ding......

Last is the opening of presents. Bob takes all the kids shopping to buy things for their siblings. Bob is such a trooper. I would never attempt such a thing!!!!

John and Bonnie purchased deluxe bells this year. They sounded wonderful.

Sid is the resident choir leader.

We are certainly blessed.

Ward Party

2007-12-29T13:14:00.000-08:00

Our Ward has the most wonderful Christmas party tradition. We do a sub-for-Santa project every year. Gifts that are needed for several families are hung from the tree in our ward. Members and neighbors pick gifts and shop to provide these things for families in need. We meet on the Saturday before Christmas to gather things together and share a great Christmas breakfast! The boys were so glad to get to see Santa.

Yellowstone Ranch Christmas Party

2007-12-29T13:02:00.001-08:00

Katie Howells hosted a wonderful Yellowstone Ranch Christmas Party. We were so honored to attend and spend some "winter time" with our Ranch friends. We had great food, great talk, and a great time together.

Kick off of The Christmas Season-Annual Progressive Dinner

2007-12-29T12:50:00.000-08:00

The Christmas season seemed to come up on us quicker this year. I remember my father telling me, "the older you get the faster time seems to fly". I must be ancient. It was a wonderful, fun, magical, emotional, and always fabulous season. I am so grateful for a wonderful family to share it all with! We began our celebration with our annual progressive dinner. We had appetizers at Tingey's, main course at Baucom's, and way too many desserts at the Hansen's. YUM!!!!!

Zach's Winter Prom

2007-12-08T20:38:00.001-08:00

Zach and Stephanie went to the Highland Winter Prom tonight. I had to work, so Dad got to be the photographer. I am absolutely sure he did nothing to embarrass Zach.

2007-11-22T20:45:00.000-08:00

The Hansen Family met at the Tingey's today for a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast. We had wonderful appetizers, great dinner, and the most fantastic side dishes. You can see what a great job Tony and Shelly did on the turkey. It not only tasted wonderful, but the company was great too. Sidney joined us after being on call for 30 hours, so I even got to take his picture!

Tony made his famous crembrulee (SP?) the famous torch even made a showing.

After all the great food we even got in a game of Wizard. Then we topped off the evening with seeing B Movie. Thanks Hansen-Tingey-Baucoms for another great Thanksgiving. "We're not jello, we help a fellow, black and yellow!!!!!"

Shaving It Off

2007-11-19T21:45:00.001-08:00

Charlie decided it was time for Grandpa to shave. Sid decided he "had" to wait until after singing in church on Sunday. Can you say "pushing buttons".

Sunday before Thanksgiving

2007-11-18T20:29:00.001-08:00

It was great to have part of our family over on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We sure are blessed to have a great fam. It is now 11:00 p.m. and Sid is still working on the dishes. He is the best. Thanks for all the help.

Becky is growing up and looking so old! She is absolutely beautiful!

Charlie and Grandpa are getting a jump on getting excited for Christmas. I made the mistake of telling Charlie about Santa coming down the chimney. Now he is thinking about chimneys more than he should. Sorry!!!!!!

Last Day of Golf 2007

2007-11-17T18:11:00.000-08:00

Another beautiful fall day. It is only four days until Thanksgiving and we are playing golf with the Tingeys. I wish I would have had my camera out when Dad's bag went into the lake. It started floating away and sinking when Dad saved the whole bag. We didn't play great golf, but we laughed a lot and had a lot of fun!

Doesn't Shelly look great!!!

Sunday Night

2007-11-11T19:01:00.001-08:00

Liz made us dinner and then taught me how to post on blogspot! Thank you Liz. Grandpa and Charlie retired to the front room for some guitar lessons and musical interaction.

Fall Cleanup

2007-11-10T15:25:00.000-08:00

Today is Saturday, November 11. It is a beautiful, sunny, warm day. It was perfect for cleaning up the leaves and getting the yard ready for winter.

Charlie and Papa took turns burying each other in the leaves!

The Ride Out

2007-11-04T17:59:00.000-08:00

We rode the horses out on Saturday, November 3. The only riders were Baucoms on Tennessee Walkers. The ride was over in only 3 1/2 hours!

The Marlboro Man and his trusty steed!

We are so lucky to have an old cow hand like Butch!!

After the ride, there is still plenty of work to do. Everyone pull your own shoes!

Even at 8,000 feet and a 16 mile ride there is time and energy for a game of football.

We have had another wonderful season at the ranch!

Weekend with the kids

2007-10-27T18:19:00.000-07:00

My favorite little boys in the world are definitely going to be cowboys.

Zach's friends joined us for an (hour) actually 5 hour ride! What troopers!

It was fun to have the Brown's join us for one last great horse adventure for the year!
