You got a friend in me

Two little boys and one lonely frog equals a good time had in grandpa’s back yard. J.D. has a cousin who is only 8 weeks younger then him and already they are best friends. J.D. calls him Ad-der so of course that’s what I call him, though it’s not his real name. One week ago my poor mom thought it would be fun to have all 8 grandsons over for spring break. Little did she know that’s 8 boys 9 years old and younger. One crazy boy filled week. But before my Sisters three boys and two of my sister-in-law boys came there was just a day for the best friends Ad-der and J.D. These two little boys share everything. From cups to toys, and even a cold which later was passed to our entire family.

On this day my dad came home from work and mowed his yard. In the back yard he found a poor little frog jumping away for dear life. I just had to show the boys and the poor little thing kept them entertained for about half an hour. They were jumping with it and pointing and the only words that came to them where,” FROG”.  I was even able to put it in J.D. hand for about 2 min. Then it was time to say good-bye to the little frog and continue our game of football!

All of the cousins!

Potty, Bike, and Smiles!!!

So much to say about JD this time around! Today was the first time JD used the potty! Honestly, I think I just had him on the potty at the right time… still it’s a big step. He’s also starting to repeat his ABC’s with me. His favorite letters are C, F, L,O, R, X, Y, Z. Those letters he’ll say loud and proud! JD also has his first new bike. He hasn’t quite got the concept that he could use the peddles to make it go, so for now he just scoots around. Sometimes he’ll just sit on it, look up at me, and with a big smile say,”My BIKE”. If scratch thought she had it bad before now she has to hide and ran away from JD while he’s on his bike! Just one time and she’s already learned to RUN AWAY!



Poor Scratch had a bad day as well. When Johnny spent some time making a nice dinner and after it was all ready and he started to eat, Scratch knocked it off the table in hopes to eat it. Instead Scratch received a severe punishment from Johnny who was already in a bad mood… a trip to the shower followed by the dryer. Poor Scratch.

William has his bottom two teeth now. It’s hard to believe he’s 7 months old. His favorite game to play is peek-a-boo with his dad. He gets the biggest smile that goes along great with his big blue beautiful eyes. His smile warms my soul everyday. Williams not sleeping through the night yet, so still praying for that soon. If you look you can see those two bottom teeth! He's a cutie!!!

The Family High Chair

Little Stephanie Suzanne



The high chair you see me in when I was a baby is the same one my boys use today. Their "Pooh-Paw" aka my dad/their grandpa kept it from when he was a little boy. He too used it when you was little but there are no pictures of him in the high chair. When I asked if I could use it for the boys he immediately went out to fix it up. He gave it a new fake leather backing and painted it black. I love family hand-me-downs. I think being the third and last born you get used to hand-me-downs from older sisters and brothers.  This is even more special to me because it was used by my dad as well. I can only hope one day one of my boys will want to use it for their little ones, cause it works just as good as the day my dad first used it. Three generations and counting! Oh and that is sweet potato all over William. He loves it!!!

One Bed To Unite Them

It’s amazing how two can not get along all day long but at night one thing unites them together. JD loves to terrorize the cat Scratch. The poor Kitty is 16 years old and hates kids and other animals. Who can blame her? Growing up with Johnny as an owner J Just kidding Johnny was and still is the best thing in Scratch’s life. About three weeks ago my wonderful sister gave us her old toddler bed. I put it together and right from the start it was a fight for who it really belongs too. JD thought it was his and Scratch thought different. It’s perfect for a poor old cat who has trouble jumping up on our bed. But after the first night they learned they both can use the bed and get along just fine. Since sleeping with Scratch, JD has not fallen out of bed. Now Scratch will sit outside his door till JD’s asleep, then Meow letting us know she’s ready to go snuggle with him and keep him safe and warm and they both love their new bed.

Hair Cuts for ALL

I guess when one of us Hanson’s gets a hair cut we all do! This is the youngest 1^st hair cut and his older bothers 2^nd. Now my oldest looks even more like his dad! I cant believe how fast they grow. Today the youngest had baby food for his first time and he ate ¼ of it. Next week he’ll be 6 months. Now hopefully he’ll sleep throughout the night! Here’s wishing for it!

Welcome 2011

So it's a new year and time to start something new. I love reading my sister's blog so like the little sister I am always looking up to my older sister (or rather an inch or two down since I'm taller) thought maybe I'll try one too. My little family is growing and the boys do something new everyday it seems so I'm not saying I'll be on every day don't get me wrong but I'll try to keep things posted as best as I can! On the topic of my sister I must say I love her very much! I miss her dearly and love talking to her on the phone. I'm sure she knows but half the things I've done in my life are because I was following her. Volleyball my favorite thing to do is all because of her and drum major in band because hey she was one too. So wanting to be like her still I'm starting this blog! LOVE YA SIS!!!!!

I love my family very much. All three of my boys and our cat too. Like my sister for safety reasons I wont be naming names so I'll just have to come up with nicknames for them as I go along. We Hanson's are doing great and so far loving life and each other as much as we can. Having two little boys under the age of two can make me cranky for being so tired most the time but hubby dose a good job helping and putting up with me! So now I've got my first post saying I love my family and I'll hopefully see ya soon!
