Stopping by on a Snowy Evening
At the last minute, Kathleen and Clark obtained tickets to the annual Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert, so they dressed up in their winter finery, braved the snowfall, and stopped in to see the grandparents on their way to the concert. The resulting photo was taken by Daddy Owen. He also took the photo below on Sunday morning. It was a beautiful storm!
Merry Christmas!Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Sunday Night at Grammie's
Steve and Jill came to town last weekend, spent a couple of nights in the Hinckley's basement, and joined the family for the weekly Sunday night pilgrimage to the grandparent's home.
Many of the locals were in attendance: Ali and Brian (whose photograph appears at left), Sam (above), Sean (above), Maddie, Sophie, Luke, Calvin and Dolly, Clark and Kathleen, Spencer. There was ample popcorn, plenty of root beer, and lots of conversation. Wish you all had been there!

Chloe's Star Continues to Rise!
This just in from the Paradise Valley Community College Athletic News:

Pumas advance to Region I Championship
On the strength of a hat trick by sophomore forward Chloe Hansen, the Pumas erased a 1-0 halftime deficit to claim a 3-2 victory over Pima, in today's Region I semi-finals. Hansen found the net 3 times in the first 18 minutes of the second half to stake PV to a 3-1 lead, a lead they would not relinquish. A Pima goal in the 85th minute made things very interesting down the stretch but PV held on for the win.
The Pumas now advance to Saturday's Region I Championship match. Their opponent, site and game time are yet to be determined, pending the outcome of the other semi-final taking place Wednesday evening.
Chloe is now ranked 30th in the nation and has set a new school record for most goals/assists!
Congratulations, Chloe!

Nationally Ranked Soccer Player - Chloe Hansen
Check it out: Chloe is the 44th top scorer in NJCAA Women's Soccer. Her team at Paradise Valley Community College is ranked 12th nationally.
Here is the commentary from last week's game:
PV rolls
The Pumas (13-1-1) raced to a 5-0 halftime lead and never looked back to post an 8-1 win over visiting South Mountain yesterday at Shoenhair Field. Seven different PV players found the scoring column in the lopsided win. Chloe Hansen, Simone Marshall and Nicole Acosta each scored a pair of goals. Katie Jarvinen and Kayla McClain also found the back of the net. Both Hansen and McClain also added 2 assists each. Marshall, Acosta, Michelle Martin and Katie Smith each had a helper in the game.
Way to go, Chloe!

A few recent adventures
Here are a few more pictures of Matt from the past couple weeks. So cute!
And here are some of Ellie's recent adventures:
Yes, adventures with the highlighter. I was out of my office for no more than three minutes. When I came back, Ellie had climbed up on my desk, found the blue highlighter at the very back of it, and taken it to the floor for some experimentation.
The pool picture is Ellie and Claire Jensen. I finally captured a few photos of these pool buddies. Dani and I have been taking her twins and Ellie to the pool every week all summer, and we just realized that we don't have any pictures of these cute kiddos swimming in Nana's pool! We're always in the pool with them! So on a warm September evening when Mom was in town, and the Jensens were wonderful enough to have us for dinner and swimming, I captured a few photos to represent our favorite part of summer.
And here's how some tired parents spent part of General Conference. As has become tradition, we had Monica and Jon Gibson over for the weekend. Six months ago we both had toddlers. Now we have a toddler and newborn, and the Gibsons have a toddler and one in utero. So, yeah, fatigue is pretty much the standard these days. I snuck a photo of Rob while he was sleeping, and he retaliated by getting a photo of the rest of us later. Good thing we recorded all the sessions!

She's ONE
My little Annie-bananie turned ONE on Sunday! I can't believe how this past year has flown by. She is our joy, cuddler, giggler, and cheerful little sis. She loves going on walks in the stroller, loves bath time, and is learning quickly to get into things. Here are just a few recent photos of our darling ONE-year old.

Hansen Family Reunion
The first ever Hansen family reunion was held July 4-5 at the Brighton LDS Girls Camp. The festivities began with a chili dinner in the festively-decorated Lodge on the Fourth, followed by family stories and games.
Friday was spent on the Zip-line and the brass ring grap (see photos), with a delicious chicken dinner prepared by the camp staff.
The Steve Hansen family gets the prize for having come the longest distance - they drove their Hummer all the way from Las Vegas. Owen Bitner Hinckley (son of Joseph and Jenni Hinckley) gets the prize for being the youngest - age 3 weeks!
A good time was had by all. Special thanks to Lisa and Eden for making this happen!
