Birthday Boys







Brigham and Carsten had a lot of fun opening presents and blowing out candles. They really like having their birthdays together. I hope they enjoy it this way for years and years, it makes the party planning easy. They wanted to have a monster cake and ate a lot of candy helping me decorate it. We pretty much partied for 3 straight days. The first, Sat. the 24th -Brigg's Day-started with a suprise decorated dinning room and a special birthday boys breakfast. Followed immediately with presents. A pretty good incentive to hurry and finish your eggs. We tried to get all our playing in that day, but it started raining. So, we couldn't fill the blow up pool and swim it was too cold. Carsten insisted on wearing his new swim suit the entire day though. Sun. the 25th -Carsten's Day- we sang happy birthday and had the cake and ice cream with the neighbors. Monday was warm enough for the pool, so we partied that day too.


Hansens




We had a fun Memorial Weekend. We went to southern Kentucky on Sunday to visit Peter's Aunt and Grandma on their farm. Lily had lots of fun running around and chasing all the animals. She may have given a few chickens a heart attack. Then Monday we made our way north stopping at all the Lincoln sights on the way. We learned some history, saw some very cool historical homes, lots of horse farm and just had a great time. Peter and I have decided this is a fun place to live. We will be making up some brochures to send out to you all to choose your adventure on your get-away to Kentucky (because your all coming at some point right?). We forgot the camera for all this action, but here are some recent shots.
