Washington

Scottie and I were able to take a much needed to trip to Washington, and it was great to be surrounded by those who love us the most!
I was able to spent about two full weeks with my family and Scottie spent 1/2 of the time with us and then 1/2 of the time with his family in Utah for his friend Brian's wedding.

Austin and Audrey had youth conference while I was in town. This year it was the dance festival so Mom, Dad, and I headed down to Vancover to watch the show.

Here are some of the kids getting their groove on! It was fun to watch.

So I used to babysit this girl and her siblings!!! She is taller than me now and most of her siblings are taller than me now too! I can't find the picture with all four of us together so this one will have to work. It was such a fun surprise to see Talia, Hayden, and Dallin Perrins. I haven't seen them since my wedding reception, over 4 years ago and man oh man have they all grown up a bit....or should I say a lot!

Hansen gals after church....lookin good ladies!

Even my 13 year old baby sister is taller than me...what happened???

The first Hansen Family Reunion- Camping at Lake Chelan

This was the best group pic I could get.

Me and My Papa on his boat!

Doing some wake boarding...lots of fun!

My two studly brothers


So I couldn't help myself from taking pictures of Austin... he seemed to enjoy getting them taken too lol. He has quite the fashion sense if you can't tell.




The best part of the photo shoot....were the sandles and socks by far!

Andrew and Jill showing off the MEGA TARP!!! Really the set up was sweet, plus we gave it a sweet name!
What is strange about this picture??? yes Andrew is fishing?

behind the car?

We had too much fun goofing around if you couldn't tell.

Scottie enjoying the beautiful weather and doing some leisure reading.

So this picture is to say thanks to my little Bro Austin. He did a sweetest thing for me while we were fishing. He let me "catch" this fish below even though we all know he had it on his pole before he handed it on over to me and asked me if I wanted to fish for a little bit. It ended up being the only fish anyone caught the whole trip! Thanks Austin for letting me "catch" the fish even though I know you did all the real catching.


Happy Father's Day Dad! It was so nice being in town to celebrate in person with my Papa. The kids all pitched in a bought him a new grill.

Amazing Scottie did all the assembling.

Audrey and I making cookies for Dad.

Our Wednesday night tradition at Applebees.

Seattle FUN!!! The kids and I spent one of the days I was in town visiting the Space needle and Pike's Place Market. Two of the must sees in Washington if you ever get the chance to go, GO! We had so much fun all day and created a lot of fun memories together. We enjoyed taking a ton of pictures and finding crazy things to do for the camera. It was hard to select only a few because we took a hundred at least!

Me, Austin, and Audrey

The Space Needle

Pike's Place Market

Here we are putting money into Rosie the golden pig. This pig is right in front of the famous place where they throw the fish. This giant piggy bank raises over $10,000 dollars a year.

A street performer, they were all over the place.


I convinced the produce guy to let us try a lychee each. It was the weirdest tasting fruit ever! The texture was like eating squid and the taste was similar to a pear/strawberry.



Watching them throw the fish and sing was a highlight of the day.



The famous gum wall. NO joke Pike's Place Market has a famous wall covered in gum. It's not even just a wall it's like a whole street ally! It was so gross and cool all at the same time.

Here we are adding our gum to the wall...history in the making.


OHIO- One of our missions for the day was to find a cool prop to do the famous OHIO pose with. Austin gets the credit for finding the H.

Got Rain? Gotta love it.


Such a fun day in Seattle!!! Good times.

If you made it to the end of this post congrats! I know it was a long one, but I had so much fun in Washington that I had to properly document it. Thanks for reading.
