A chance for change

OK so last week on Thursday I had my renters come tell me they think they have found a house. So I start to think oh great time to weed out the not so good renters. So I call and tell Mike, and he said we will talk about it when I get home. So when he gets home we talk and we decided that if the renters move so do we. We have enough money in the house we can sell and pay off some bills and a car and still have money down. So we have been looking for a house here in Orem. and have found one we really like so far. We need to see all of the inside still but with the Pictures we have seen so far we really like it. It will be nice to have 4 bed rooms so the kids will have there own rooms, and no one will try to kill each other each night. I'm looking forward to an up dated kitchen and two family rooms so I have a place to send the day care kids to play. (and my own kids as well.) The really good thing is that we already have a buyer for our house. Lyn Erickson will be buying it for her kids. So we don't have to worry about trying to sell the house. But We need a change.

A sad day at the Hansen Home!!!!!

NHRA driver Kalitta killed in horrific crash
Scott Kalitta's Funny Car burns as it heads down the track during qualifying Saturday, June 21, 2008, for the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J. Kalitta died after the car burst into flames and crashed at the end of the track. http://www.newsday.com/sports/motorracing/ny-nhra-driver-killed,0,3833788.story

Scott was one of my favorite drivers. As many of you know we go to Vegas twice a year to see the races. I loved to see Scott race and see each time who is new sponsor was. At one time Jessie James was his sponsor and I love Jessie. Scott will truly be missed on and off the track. And here in my home as well. I have watched the video twice and cry each time. The photo I attached is unreal. His car burst into flames (witch happens a lot) but he did not stop the car and it ran into the end of the track and exploded. Here is the video if you want to watch. it. http://video.google.com/videosearch?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWI,RNWI:2006-06,RNWI:en&q=nhra&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wv&oi=property_suggestions&resnum=0&ct=property-revision&cd=1#

Cassidy's Birthday party

CASSIDY TURNS THE BIG 7 AND HAD A GREAT DAY PLAYING WITH FRIENDS IN THE SUN!!!!!!!

Here is the pics from Cassidy's birthday party. She had a great time, and got a lot a fun toys. I just hope that everyone is feeling OK this morning after eating so much Sugar. Some of the kids had 5-7 cones of cotton candy, plus 2-3 cupcakes and punch. MMMMMM

The weather was great!!!! I think that someone needs to remind me how much hard work goes into a party and tell me not to do it again. 7 yr old kids don't care what type of table cloth you have or if the plates, cups, and napkins match. But I did have fun running the Cotton candy machine. I had cotton candy all over me by the end of the party. I don't know about any of you but I LOVE COTTON CANDY. But it was not as easy as you might think to make those perfect cones you see at the carnivals. I thought I had the hang of it then the next one would not turn out. Then again 7 yr olds don't care what it looks like, only if it tastes good.

The kids had fun in the sun. Playing in the pool and on the slip-n- slide running through the sprinklers and jumping on the trampoline. All in all we had a great day!!!!

Crazy Summer is here!!!!

This last weekend My Dad was here from Portland and we had a great time. We went fishing, or you could say that we went and sat by river and got SUN BURNED. We caught nothing. oh well maybe next time. We ate a lot!!!!! I love it when he come to visit he is such a great cook. I gain at least 5 to 10 pounds.
Today my Baby turned 7 it is unreal to me. But she thinks she is 16. In the way she talks to me and the clothes she wants I know I will have a fight on my hands when she IS 16.
We are having her friend b-day party tomorrow. It is a swim party (and thank you Mary for the warm weather). We are having cotton candy, pop, cup cakes, more sugar then a child should have in tow months. Ha ha. But it will be fun in the sun. I will post some pictures.
I don't know about any of you but we have to plan our vacation around Mikes vacation time. So we have planed our summer vacation for the first week of July. We are driving to Portland to see my Dad, then on to Eugen to see Mikes Grandma who is getting on in years, then on to see Grandam Kathy's house for the 4th of July in Seattle. Can't wait. Now day's driving is not so bad with kids. You have the DVD players they have there game boys etc. it will fly by. The only bad thing is the price of GAS, but that's a whole new post that i will not get into. I am looking forward to a fun time spent with family. :)

MY BIG EYE OPENER

This weekend i have had a big eye opener. I realized that my whole life I have been puting others feeling a head of mine. In most cases as a mom sometimes you need to do that but I do it when someone hurts my feeling. Instead of saying something, because I think if I do then i will hurt this person or that person. I then i go and feel like crap and take what the person said to me and dwell on it forever, or until I lose it and my husband or my kids get the brunt of it. For that I must say sorry to my husbad and my kids. I need to learn to express my feeling to those people who hurt me or show me they love me and Not take it out on the innocent. I hope to learn to express my feeling to eveyone around me wheather it be good or bad and not sweat about the out come of what I feel. I need to learn to stand up for myself. And on the other hand I need to listen to those around me who are expressing their feeling to me and not take it personally. Everyone has their own feeling on things and i can't take it personally.

I have also realized that all the things from my past i really have not yet dealt with and am now (I hope) ready to deal with. So forgive me if you see me and I look like i have been beaten because I have been crying. or if you call and we are talking and i break down and cry please forgive me. And to any of you who I may have offended PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! And thanks for loving me.
