Sisters weekend

I had the last week in February off of work, so Trin, Owen, and I took the opportunity to have a girls weekend with Brandi and Simon in LA. Even though we just stayed in West Covina (15 min from where Brandi lives), it was so much fun and I don't know why we haven't done it sooner! I had so much fun with my sisters and even more with my adorable little nephews. Little Simon is getting so chunky and cute I absolutely love kissing him! And Owen is just the life of the party, cracking jokes and making us all laugh! Can't wait until the next sisters weekend!

Owen tried these aviators on at Baby Gap and kept making this kissy face so we just had to buy them...Side note: we saw Steve Sanders from 90210 there!

Kisses all weekend long!

Just hanging out at our hotel

Our first night at the hotel after driving through snow on the Grapevine! Owen and his Yoda pez container, he wouldn't leave the hotel without it.

Say "cheese!"

Breaking our bed in at Harris Ranch!

Pajama party and nephew love

such a good mama

Simon loved Trinity's rendition of Baby Beluga

Owen's favorite game all weekend - hitting my bum with a bouncy ball. He thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever see! I'd do anything to make that little boy laugh as hard as he was!

Cousin love

Owen loves to tickle baby Simon

Update

I know its been long and the more I thought about all the catch up I had to do, the less I wanted to blog. So I decided to start small by just picture updates (which are the best anyway, right?) Doug and I are doing great. Doug just started a new job at a start up called reputation.com, and I am still nannying. We have family and friends up here in the beautiful Bay and couldn't ask for more!

The infamous Flowrider where Doug spent 100% of his mornings on the cruise (and a good part of his day as well)

So smooth!

All that time paid off though - he won the "best of the best" for the flowrider competition.

Wipeout!

The Hansens rented out the Flowrider two nights. Thats when I was brave enough to try it. So much fun!

Splash!

Happiness

Our trip to Los Angeles was a blast. We stayed at Brandi and John's and lounged around for a week, it was fabulous. While the boys went rock climbing, wake boarding and mountain biking, us girls went to our favorite LA haunt, the Grove, hung out with Owen, and just enjoyed sister time. I miss them all already!

Spring

Recently when people ask me what we've been up to, I can never think of anything, and the generic response has become "nothing really," hence the lack of posting. But looking back at some pictures of mine and some that my wonderful sister-in-law took, I realized we Hansens do do stuff...and this is what it is...

Fixing cars (so handy having a handyman in the fam)

Surfing...Classic (Doug and Christian)

Thanks Steph for the photos!

Mountain Biking....Strike a pose there's nothing to it!
