Mckay's and Jaedyn's Surprise Visit

Two weeks ago, McCall and I were spending another night Saturday night together. We were expecting our old friend Emily (who is now living an hour from us) to visit us and go out to dinner with us as a gift from Makana who is one of her best friends.

So when we heard the knock at the door and opened it, we were a little perplexed to see Jaedyn standing there and McKay right behind her with a video camera. Surprise! He came to see little miss Lydia be blessed in church the following day... what an amazing surprise and what a great brother!

It was fun to have him in the circle as I blessed my little girl. He stayed about two days and he was able to visit Churchill downs (he wasn't too impressed), Slugger Museum, the Louisville

temple, the Ohio River and even ventured into Indiana. Here are some pics of all of us hanging:































Lydia never holds still for the pictures and one ended up like this, I thought it was pretty funny so I'm showing it to the world:






This is Lydia in her little blessing dress, she actually doesn't look like a man with that bow in her hair.

Some more videos of Lydia. The first one is of her clogging, she's starting early and the second one is a video of her on her one month birthday. She's getting old so fast!

Here is miss Lydia in her St. Patrick Day outfit.

Oh just us having our daily baby talk conversation... she has soo much to talk about.

Lydia gives these little smirks every so often while she's sleeping. Who knows what she is dreaming about but I was quite pleased with myself that I was able to catch one on camera. This isn't her biggest grin, but at least you can tell it's a smile. Right?

It's a flying burrito! Lydia LOVES to play with dad! This time she was his flying burrito.

Lydia Raquelle Hansen is born!

McCall after receiving the blessed epidural! Never been so happy in her life.












This is baby Hansen right after birth, look at that cone head! Don't worry we still loved her. Weighing in at 8 lbs 2 oz.













Starting to look like the cutest baby in the world!



Poor thing she's worn out from all that pushing...









Finally, the cutest baby in the world!

What were you for Halloween?
McCall was a pregnant gothic for Halloween, she's very proud of her spiders on her face.
























I on the other hand stole Lexi's idea, and dressed up as a cloud with a chance of rain. I think it was the theme for the Hansen family this year. Notice my sweet crooked mustache and McCall's look of utter disgustingness (McCall's words, not mine). I think she's beautiful

Getting ready for the Doughnut contest. I was very happy just to eat a doughnut. You can see the videos at the end of the blog.



















Pumpkin Carving Time!!!

As you might recall from our last blog we pick some pumpkins from Huber Farms a couple weeks ago. When we got home we put them next to our couch as decoration. The day before Halloween we decided we better carve them up, but when we went to pick up McCall's pumpkin, this is what we saw....

I told McCall that it's alright, it just takes practice to pick a good pumpkin, and that one of these days she'd be a good pumpkin picker like me.

We carved some pumpkins with some friends in our ward, Ryan and Stephanie. His looks a lot better than mine.

The missionaries asked if it was a rabit, and I said.... um yeah....! So for those of you wondering, it's a rabbit who's ears got ripped off.

J.D.'s utter domination...

McCall's petite nibbling

We made up a clogging/breakdance duo for ULSD's got talent. It was a fundraiser that our school was putting on for the pedodontic department. McCall choreographed most of it, she was the skill and I was the comical relief.

So... McCall and I headed out to Huber Farms, a huge farm situated in the fields of southern Indiana. Looks like one of those pictures on a puzzle piece, doesn't it?
















What's so cool about Huber Farms you ask? Well they take you out in a tractor and dump you off in the apple field/pumpkin patch, where you can pick to your hearts content. Then you come back and pay at the register for a very reasonable price.















They also had a kiddy corn maze that turned out to be a lot more kiddy than we expected. I don't think we hit an entire wrong turn the entire way. When we got done, McCall and I decided to have a speed walk race to see who could get done the fastest. You should have seen the look on people's faces as we were pushing, yelling, and threatening each other along the way.
















We found some characters after all, I was really happy.

Yay, we picked some pumpkins! But it seemed like all the pumpkins had some sort of disease, little mumps all over them.

McCall and I decided that if we were going to get some ugly pumpkins then they might as well be the ugliest pumpkins ever!

McCall was in search of the great pumpkin, but I told her that Charlie Brown moved to Utah once he found out we were moving to Kentucky.

I shouldn't have eaten those pumpkin seeds, they're caught in my throat right about now

Look! We can be a cute couple when we want to...

And that was our fabulous trip to the farm. We're going back for the strawberry pickin' in the spring/summer.
