100 years young

Grandma Hanson
Mikey's grandma (on his mom's side) turned 100. 
Mabin and I were lucky enough to go to her celebration in Minnesota. 

2 days of driving to get there.
2 days spent with family.
2 days driving back. 

Lots. of. driving.

I was worried Mabin would have a breakdown but he was a champ. 
Not one outburst.
Unless you count from Sandy to Orem because he was starving. 
I don't count that.
It was before we started the official trip. 

It was a surprise that we were going to the birthday party. 
My sister-in-law realized they had two extra seats and invited Mabin and I to ride with them. 
Sadly Mikey couldn't go because he had finals and work. 
Bleh. 


Two little babies that are glad to be out of their car seats and on a comfy hotel bed after a loooong drive.

It was fun to surprise everyone. 
I'm glad I feel comfortable around Mikey's family. 
But we sure did miss him.


The girls were so good with Mabin.

Kirty makes the most scrumptious cakes.

This was the first time I got to meet Erin. 
It felt like we already knew each other.

Lauren was so loving with Mabin.
She loved kissin' on him.

The kids were fascinated with the gun Mitch had. 
Especially the little boys, they kept saying, "How cool would it be if we got to shoot it a hundred times?!"


Cousin Jordan





Also the first time I got to meet Missy. 
She reminds me of my older sister, Springe. 

Missy and Tim


Mabin got to meet his Papaw for the first time.

Love Mabin's face. 
He's not sure what's going on...

He is so precious.

  1. I can't believe how fast the reunion went. ~ Sad it has come and gone. :( It was awesome to finally meet you Petra... and Mabin too! I feel like we are long lost sisters. :) So glad you are part of the family. I just need to convince you and Mikey to move by us some day. Haha! ;) I look forward to the next time we get to hang out. Love seeing all the pics on your blog. I'll have to blog in the next couple of days. I've been a slacker. Miss you all so much. XO
