Hansen Family: Summer Time 2010

Wow, so sorry for the long post, but I'm playing some serious catch up! I can't even believe how fast this summer has gone by! We spent Atomic Days over in Arco with Josh's family. The boys had a great time on the slip n' slide in Grandma's backyard...

Then we all went floating down the canal...

(minus Gavin who was perfectly content hanging out in the truck with Josh)

We took the kiddos to the parade and of course they loved it!

So this is kinda Gavin's MO at parades...

sit around and look pathetic enough that eventually someone will bring you candy and then you don't have to put forth any effort of going to catch it!

We then went to the carnival. Josh and I took the boys on the tilt-a-whirl thinking that it wasn't really going to be that bad...we were wrong. Amazingly, the kids were little troopers through the whole thing, even Gavin, but by the time Josh and I got off I think we were both about ready to puke.

After three very long days of volleyball, softball, and running around, we were ready to head back home for some R & R. However, this is what we dealt with on the ride home...

Words of Advice-don't leave your dirty laundry in a plastic sack within the kids' reach or they'll rip it open and start throwing it at each other...nice!

We spent the next week over in Carey for another volleyball tournament. And then the week after that was the Snake River volleyball tournament...is anyone seeing a pattern here? I told Josh that ever since I married him my life revolves around a certain sequence of events...basketball season, football season, volleyball season, softball season, and then hunting & fishing season!

These pictures are kind of random but I thought this was too cute...

Quinten was feeding Halle his ice cream (and yes, Halle is totally sporting boy's clothes, but come on, she's so dang cute in them!)

I love, love, love these girls!!! So much fun!!!

Quinten started Preschool again! He was pretty excited to go back to see his teacher and friends!

First day of Preschool

(okay, so I actually took the picture about 6 hours later after we visited the pool with grandma and grandpa, hence the crazy looking hair)

Josh has been taking Quinten out to shoot the bow and arrows that my mom and dad bought him. Sorry for the crappy picture (it was with my phone) but he's actually been getting pretty good!

So I took Quinten to the dentist to get his teeth fixed the other day. They sedated him because he's kind of grabby at the equipment and we figured it would just be easier this way. Well once they got his mouth numb he couldn't feel his lip so he actually bit down really hard on it and this is what the end result looked like!

It was pretty funny because he was so goofy while the sedation was wearing off. He even swallowed the cotton gauze roll that they told him to bite down on! They told me he would go home and sleep for 3-8 hours. Well, he only slept for just over an hour! He was hyper and acting so funny! It was like having a little tiny 4 year old drunk in my house. He wouldn't sit still so I had to follow him around and make sure he didn't run into anything. What can I say, not even Versed can keep this kid down!
