The Next 10 Years

Last week I posted family pictures from the first 10 years of our marriage which began in 1989.  Here are the next ten years:  2000-2009.  Our pictures became a little less consistent as life got a little crazier.

2000, shortly after Susanna was born

2002 shortly before Talmage was born


2002 in the fall
2003, in the fall shortly we moved into our new house



2004 after Mindy was born
Fall, 2005.  This picture was the one I really wanted to work and it would have worked except for the wild grass we didn't notice in the front.  It was taken at Berchtesgaden at the Eagle's Nest.

So we took this picture in the fall of 2005 next to our church in Munich.


We came home from Germany and had our picture taken in fall, 2006, at Tibble Fork Reservoir in American Fork Canyon. This is a super cute picture of Susanna and Talmage.
This is the one that hung in our living room for a long time. Camille was born a year later so it got outdated pretty quickly.
The photographer for the preceding pictures was named Alisa, recommended by our SIL.  She ended up getting diagnosed with melanoma not long after and died after a long battle.  Her father talked about her in this excellent talk:   https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2016/04/and-there-shall-be-no-more-death?lang=eng

August, 2007, our first Nauvoo experience.

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.

2024 Hansen Family Reunion, Wednesday

Recently we had another Hansen Family Reunion at Bear Lake. We've been having these destination reunions since 2008. There were about 70 of us in attendance. Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games:  a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. 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...
