Some Memories


We found out this morning that my Grandpa Hansen passed away. We will miss him. Who will feed us Lucky Charms and M&M's now? I am so glad we were able to visit him for a few minutes last week. I am also grateful for my knowledge of the Lord's plan for us. I know I will see Grandpa again.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy! We love you!!









DJ also made you a picture, but, unfortunately, it is now a corrupted file, so here is the interim...

Hope you had a great father's day!

To Dad, From Michael




I love you, Dad!

Update from Ft. Sill


As most of our friends and family know, Jenn and the kids are in Duchesne and I'm at Ft. Sill, OK. We all moved, but I only went about an hour and a half away from where we were in Norman.
I'm in a course called the Baisic Officer Leader Course. It's kind of like a nicer version of Basic Training. Being that I've already been to basic it seems silly to be repeating.
I am really not used to being an Officer. I was used to the title of Sergeant. Now days when people call me Sir, I don't realize they're talking to me. I'm also being saluted, which takes some getting used to.
I get done here on July 24th, then I'll be heading to San Antonio for the Medical Services Corps basic class.

Just an update

Disclaimer: I have taken tons of pictures over the last few weeks, but I am not going to post them now. It's late and I have to drive again tomorrow. I will try to get some up soon.


Roy, Lil, my children and I are all in Farmington, NM tonight. We shall arrive in Duchesne tomorrow. It's been a long voyage. Derek, Lil, the kids and I actually left Norman on Thursday (after a long ordeal with movers -- I did not tear my hair or anyone else's out), June 4th. We went to Lawton where we endured further annoyances at the hand of Fort Sill's army beaurocracy, but did finally end up with approval to take our family to Alaska at the army's expense and a passport application for Naomi turned in. I admit to feeling IMMENSE relief after that was all taken care of.

Saturday night, Roy joined us in Lawton. After church on Sunday (it was only yesterday, though it seems much longer ago), Derek entered training at Fort Sill. The rest of us travelled to Amarillo, TX, where we spent the night. This morning we went to the American Quarter Horse Museum. It was quite pleasant. The kids really enjoyed their children's section. DJ and Michael had a great time 'racing' and 'riding' all over that room. Naomi enjoyed chewing on things. Thankfully the room at least appeared very clean.

We spent the afternoon and evening driving to Farmington. We are very ready for a good night's sleep, so we can head out for new adventures tomorrow. (I really can't wait to be done driving...)
