Happy Birthday to Lincoln!

Happy birthday to Lincoln! Here are some pictures of Lincoln in junior high. Lincoln started bassoon in junior high and did well. He also continued his piano studies and played the piano for the jazz band.

He enjoyed his friend group that began in the ALL program at Foothill. I think the ALL history teacher at Canyon View did not enjoy the friend group quite as much since they had a lot of fun in class together and she wasn't quite sure how to harness that energy. 😀 He worked hard in Scouts and did summer swim team. He played basketball one season in 8th grade, but didn't enjoy that, not realizing he would later marry someone who loves basketball! He also enjoyed hanging out with his brothers and made some entertaining videos with Jan. I need to post a few of those. He also got his patriarchal blessing from his grandfather.

What a great addition to our family Lincoln has been! Happy birthday, Lincoln!

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...
