Ahhhhhh! WHat has he done to my fun little laughable page!!!! I am apologizing in behalf to all those offended due to the political statements, although I must agree that Biden IS a bonehead, regardless. I thought Hans was only joking when he said he would make politically charged blogs. Oh, that boy! So, anyway! How is everybody????
We are doing really quite well. No hilarious stories or video footage for you sick people out here who like to laugh at others misfortunes. Just joking. The videos were really funny. The occasion for ME blogging instead of HAns is that is was his birthday yesterday and we decided to drive up to Delta after Gabe got out of school and surprise him. HAns is now 29- sooooo old. I just couldn't stand that I wouldn't be there for his birthday- I guess I really am in love aren't I? We made his favorite butter rum cake- the boys stuffed it with 29 candles and we traveled up. It was so great, we put big bows on our heads and yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Even though HAns probably guessed we were there because of the obnoxious dog barking in the back of the corrals, he acted surprised and the boys were so thrilled to see their dad in the middle of the work week, the trick will be getting them to leave. HAns' mom was in on it and I asked her t make his favorite lasagna because I cannot, for the life of me, gete my lasagna to be like hers, and it is soo good. So he was dually surprised for his birthday. The boys will be sad to leave their dad(and their grandma) But I might lure them away with promises of Halloween fun things.
The boys are so excited for HAlloween this year. Gabe has been "planning" his costume, and I mean drawing up plans for his costume for the last month and a half. We finally decided on pirates though- a whole family of them- Arrrr matey. For our primary activity we are having a trunk or treat and I am forcing Hans to dress up with me and the boys. He will be one hot pirate! And I will say this. I may never do homemade costumes again. I got as far as sewing one pirate vests and then gave up. I am not good with a needle!
And yes! We are having a baby! Please forget any previous comments I may have made about not having any more children because I must have been wrong. We are so excited for this new little one. The boys will talk to my belly every night before bed. Well, yell, at my belly would be a better word. They want to make sure that the baby can hear them. And Gabe always says, " I bet she is saying goodnight brothers!" And HIett fondly pats my getting bigger belly and smiles at it. Yes, Gabe is firmly convinced he is getting a sister, funny but I wonder if they do really remember things that we don't. We will be thrilled either way- I don't quite know what to do with a girl, but I am sure it couldn't be toooo different.
LAstly- I am so sorry that I haven't been able to check on everybody's blogs and keep up with your lives. I miss knowing what is going on with you all more than you can know- how silly. I wonder why I just don't call. Hmmm. What a novel idea. Anyway, I need to get going. Thank you all for still reading our blog even though it isn't as entertaining anymore. He he- sorry sweetie, I love you!
My happy boy
How can you not smile when you see that!? Tait hung out on this blanket while we were fishing on Monday- he loves to be outside- and it's a good thing since that's where we are most of the time!
Our hike
Yes, that is the road down there. We found this trail off the road up the Five MIle Canyon. We have loved the red rock scenery that is so prevelant in the Parowan area

Yes!! I am the first to post for once!! I'm glad to hear you are all doing well, and I can't wait to see your Halloween pictures! I'm sure Hans was very surprised for you to come up, even if Tonks gave it away a little=) I will have to say that Hans did a good job of keeping up on the blog, it was the only political information I was actually paying attention to, so Hans, thank you! I love you all tons and tons!!
You are so cute Shel...that was very sweet for you to surprise Hans on his birthday and yes, you MUST be in love!!
And again, I am so excited for you to have another little one. Regarding past comments, well you just weren't ready that's all. We all say stuff that eventually makes us put our foot in our mouth, I'm probably more guilty than anyone!! Hope you are feeling well!
Love ya and miss ya
You are so funny. I bet Hans was so glad to have you there for his b-day.
It sounds like you are still doing great even though Hans is away now. It sounds like a fun birthday too.
I am so glad things are good and what a fun thing to do for Hans' birthday. I can say that we were totally shocked when you answered the phone when we called Will and Julie's to wish Hans a happy birthday. I hope you or Hans will post Halloween pictures. I hope you all had a fun time being pirates!! What fun memories. Love you so much and can't wait until Thanksgiving to see you all!
Shell, goog to have you back in the blog world! Although you know I did quite enjoy Hans' posts! We're so happy you're having another little one! Aren't kids the best?! Miss ya!
