The Hanks Family

OK, so I admit I am completely lame about keeping up on our poor little family blog. All my blogging time and effort has been going into PheMOMenon and I have been neglecting this one. So sorry!

We have been busy, busy, busy with all kinds of fun and games so, here is a somewhat all encompassing update in photos to try to bring me up to date. That way I can hopefully do better from here on out! In my lame-o defense, I did try to make this post once before and Blogger bailed on me and froze - I just never got it restarted. Sorry for any wonky picture sizes below, but I figure just getting this up is more important than continuing to wait for perfection.

So, here in (mostly) chronilogical order is what we have been doing with ourselves. Enjoy!

Cole was blessed - and wore the same sweet sweater set that Aidan did!

We went to the zoo and enjoyed playing on the floor.

We enjoyed time together inside and outside (Mt. Timp)

We played at the park and we went to the races!



Somehow I don't think most kids get this view at the track!



Aidan got a hug from Elmo and a new fantastic quilt from Grandma (and she even helped me so I could pick out the fabric!)



Cole got his very first baby quilt from Grandma Hanks too! Look how incredible!

We explored outdoors some more after Aidan's very first day at Kindergarten!

Me and the little boys at the Silver Lake Loop!

Dusty and Aidan doing a little rock "climbing" at Silver Lake.

Aidan got a new great haircut and enjoyed going to Primary.

And here he is all clean and shiny on his first day of Kindergarten!



And here Cole is - not so clean - but with a shiny outlook while he is trying some finger food!



Cole, getting clean and playing in the bath!



Aidan started soccer for the first time - his team is the Blue Dragons!!

And a few more "nature" shots from Cascade Springs - who could resist that face!



Aidan wading in the stream at a park near Logan - BBQ with G&G Hunsaker!

Someone is growing up, even if he is still small - he is getting more and more teeth and looks like he needs his first haircut soon!

These brothers just love hanging out with each other!! Cole crawled up on the couch to sit with Aidan and check out the new light saber.

And this last picture, is from this very last Saturday in Brigham City from the Airport there. It was our first visit to there and it sure had an amazing view during/after the storm that day. Who knows if we will be spending more time there in the future.
