2010-2020: The Next Ten Years

This is my latest installment in the next ten years of family pictures.  It has ironically been the hardest to put together even though in theory all my pictures from this time period are digitized.  But it has become obvious that I need to work on my picture organization!

July 2010 in the Conference Center, our tour after Talmage's baptism


May 2010 in the foothills, David was on his mission


November 2011, after David came home and before Jan left--one of my favorites except we don't have a good digital copy

August, 2012:  David and Stephanie's wedding, Cardston, Alberta LDS Temple, Jan was on his mission
April, 2013:  in the foothills (Jan was still on his mission, Garrett was preparing to go--I think this was the day before his shoulder surgery and before David and Stephanie left for the summer for an internship in Virginia)
October 2013, in our backyard, right before Garrett left on his mission, right after Katie was born, Jan was on his mission

Do Dots Family System

The original post was written in January of 2015. I wrote an update at the bottom of this post in March 2021. A few months ago, a friend of mine told me about something she was doing in her family to help her family function better.  Her teenage autistic son had been struggling a lot so they had been working with behavior therapists to help him and this "Do Dots Family System" had been recommended.  As she described it, I was greatly intrigued since it sounded like something I wanted to implement at my own house.

The basic idea of the chart is that children need to take care of their responsibilities before they get any privileges.  It strongly reinforces the concept of "Work Before Play" .  The chart helps children see in a very visual way that, until they have completed their responsibilities, they are on Le...

Hansen Family Reunion 2024, Thursday afternoon

For lunch on Thursday, Lauren and Kurt made Cafe Rio which was delicious.  On Thursday afternoon, we had free time at the lake. Heidi and Aaron rented a pontoon boat and took people out for rides. This was very popular. Some of us went on the kayaks and/or swimming or just hung out on the beach.

Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too.

Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...
