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!

May Milestones


We hit some major milestones last month . . . Jamin graduated! (Well, he participated in the graduation ceremonies in anticipation of completing his dissertation in August). He also accepted a job at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC as a visiting professor. After 8 years in Boston, we are Carolina bound!

Eliza turned 6, lost her two front teeth, and is working on kicking her thumb sucking habit--and doing great!

Ashton decided on what to be when he grows up. The conversation went like this:
A: I wanna be Superman when I grow up, not like a dentist. Mom, can I be Superman when I grow up?
me: Hmm, he's pretend, so I don't think so.
A: (with thoughtful determination) I think I can.


Benjamin learned
to walk!

And Kate has been extraordinarily cute!
