Mom and Dad Hansen stayed the night before entering into the MTC.

It was really nice to see them one last time for 12 months.

Pretty sure this quote is correct. I cannot find the talk.

"Love sees more."

From Pres. Hinckley Regional Conference January 2008'

I could did find this talk and the quote is correct.

"In the last days, love will overcome hate."

From Pres. Hinckley Christmas Devotional 2006

Elli Bowling

Got a free night stay in Mesquite so we took Elli bowling.

7 Peaks!!!

We celebrated my 29TH Birthday at 7 peaks last Saturday.

Lazy river? Oh Yeah!!

Jerris and Elli went down the purple slide on a tube 3 times.

Elli also enjoyed the toddler area.

When it was time to leave, she didn't want to go!

So....we stayed longer. :)

Then the camera battery went dead, but Jerris and I also took turns on a slide called the "boomerang", which is like a half-pipe. Jerris thought it was awesome, but it scared the lights out of me!

I'm (Jill) getting the hang of posting.

Ellie's 2 Year Pictures

Janice Heaton tagged me!

The rules are: Post 10 honest confessions about yourself, then tag 5 people to do the same.

Jill's 10 honest confessions:

#1. Jello makes me sick. I was turned off by it because I ate too much of the jello powder when I was young.

#2. I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon. Weird, cause I’m an outdoorsy person.

#3. I’ve had secret dreams of writing lyrics and singing songs that would help people understand themselves better.

#4. When I was very little, I wanted to be a figure skater when I grew up. I think it was because I liked the outfits. J Elli has been enjoying the Olympic figure skating. She dances around as she watches, then as they do their spins, she’ll sit or lay on the ground as if to spin too. Fortunately for her, she’s somewhat close to a skating rink. I guess we’ll see.

#5. I colored my hair so much in high school that everyone believed I was a blond, even I.

#6. Our family has celestial goals.

#7. So the story goes, when I was 3 I put 3 kittens in our neighbor’s mailbox and they suffocated. They were discovered by the mailman. (I think I thought that the mailbox looked like a home, just the right size for kitties…… oops.)

#8. One time when I was young (again) we were out of milk so I poured water over my cereal. I haven’t been able to eat that particular cereal since.

#9. The first boy I kissed was Robert Eardley when I was 5. Angie knows him from Middleton.

#10. I wanted to have a lot of children but now we are thinking about Elli being our only child in this life.

I tag: Ambree, Ashlee, Nicole, Shawn, and Shannon.
