Sickness never ends in the Hanson household this winter

This winter has been the worst winter off all for sickness in our house, at least form me it has been. When we were gone down South this past weekend the kids were complaining of headaches and just weren't themselves . Well Wednesday I took Austin into the Doctor because he had been running a fever and had them do a strep test on him. Well they said it was negative and yesterday I got a call and they said it turned positive. Jayden has had the same symptoms with a fever so they just treated her to. Well last night I thought I was getting it back, but today i feel a little better so who knows what that is all about.

This winter has been horrible for me because it started off in December with flu like symptoms while it continued out through January and in January I was diagnosed with Mono. While since then I've had the flu twice, strep throat, 2 bladder infections, and this past weekend I jammed my hip so I've been in lots of pain and unable to sleep at night. Currently I still have mono. So this winter has been a house full of sicknesses for me and really I haven't left my house much until now that we started track I go to that everyday I feel good enough to go. So please pray for us that this is the end of the sicknesses. Its getting really annoying with all this stuff especially for me not feeling good myself and to have to take care of sick kids. I hope all of you have had a better winter then ours cause honestly I don't think I can handle it anymore. Hopefully next year will be better.

When is spring gonna come?

I'm really getting sick of his winter weather. We were gone this past weekend down south and had a blast and the weather was great and there wasn't any snow down there, then we come home to a foot of snow on the ground and then we get another half a foot. How Depressing.

This past weekend we went down to visit my Brother Nate and his Wife Laura and the new addition to the family little Jonathan Bradley Vaneps. He is such a great Baby. Hardley ever cries, so alert. We spent a few days with them and had a blast. Then we drove south more to visit more relatives. We went to Tim and Jennys and got to see more relatives that I haven't seen for a few years. We visited, played games. It was a blast and the kids did not want to leave when it came sunday morning. We dragged them outta there and then we had ourselves a long drive ahead of us. Stopped at Connie and Daves and saw their new remodeling project. "Looked great guys" Connie was so nice and gave the kids some treasure for them to take home and it kept them busy the whole way home. Then off to home and we had a great trip. The kids were great traveling so that made it more easier on us. We got home a little after 8 pm and went straight to bed and back to the busy week again.

Austin has been sick all week so that hasn't been fun, along with the past two days getting bloody noses. Boy does he bleed with them. So this morning I woke to him screaming as hes running up the stairs blood dripping everywhere. I sure hope that it turns spring soon and its not so dry anymore.

I hope all is well with everybody that is reading this. Hold on I hope spring is on its way sooner then later.

I'll post some pictures of my new nephew up soon

The New Year is here

Well we'd like to wish everybody who is reading this a Happy New Year. We hope you all had a great Christmas. Today for me is day to back to the normal routine. Wake up, drag Jayden out of bed, get Austin up and get Jayden ready for school. Today she was crying again same as last year, realizing how fun it was to have all that time off during Christmas and to not have to go to school, so she was crying and not wanting to go to school anymore(Same thing happened last year) Well this year I didn't feel sorry for her and made her straighten up and go to school. I'm gonna post a few pictures taken over Christmas..........Happy New Year

Kellys Deer

Heres Kelly's Deer that he shot this year

The best time of the Year is here

It has been a while since I have posted anything. I'm hoping that i'll be better at it now that things should be slowing down. Well a lot has happened since my last post when we got lost in the woods. Kelly didn't end up getting a deer bow hunting at ll but he did get a NICE deer rifle hunting. I"ll post a picture of his nice deer he shot.

It is now the best time of the year when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. It is always a busy time of the year for us as we celebrate with our families. The business started on Monday when we started baking christmas cookies, finishing with christmas cards and wrapping the rest of the gifts. Today we made more cookies and celebrated our Immediate family Christmas by starting off with a game of vegetales bingo. Then to follow that we read the Christmas story followed by the best part for the Kids- OPENING THE GIFTS. It was a great night of family time. Tomorrow we got to My Dads side for Christmas. It should be fun but my sister will not be there so it just isn't gonna be the same when everybodys not there. Then on Thursday we spend it with Kellys family. Thats always fun to see the inlaws that I don't get to see to often. I want to wish you all a very Merry Chrismas !!!!!!!! Safe Travels if your traveling.

Also I'd like to as for Prayers for My Friend Lesley and her family during this Holiday season.

Merry Christmas !

Getting Lost

Last night was an interesting night. Kelly shot his first buck with his bow. He called me at 7:30 to tell me that he got a deer and I was on my way home form dropping a friend off. So me excited to help him track it down hurried home. By that time it was dark and we ventured out into the woods to look for this deer. Growing up I helped my dad track his deer all the time cause i had the eagle eyes in the family. So I knew that we should bring some toilet paper out with us cause we could use it to mark the last blood spot, so we did. After 2 1/2 hours trying to track this deer we couldn't find the next spot it was like this deer had quit bleeding all a sudden. Well the conclusion to the story is we didn't find the deer and our flashlights were getting low had no idea what way we should go back cause the toilet paper wasn't the easiest to see at 10:30 at night, so my mother in law drove the truck out into the field and we had to try to hear our way back by her honking on the horn every 2 min. Thank goodness my husband brought out his cell phone or we'd been spending the night in the woods.
