I never thought that I needed to have a blog...did not have anything that interesting to say. But I want to show the world my stands and have a place to new pictures up anytime I want.

So here are some stands I have been working on. And the different kinds of goodies that I make also.

WOW! Its been WAY to long since our last post

Madison at the zoo, feeding the little birds

Sorry family for my slacking on the pictures of the kids. It has been way to long since our last one. I wanted to send some of the girls birthday. I think this one will be just of Lilly's . I need to upload Madi's. Lilly had a fun birthday, she really wanted a pinata. And she wanted a Spongebob party.

Then here are some of the pictures from our Spring Break adventure. We had so much fun at Debra's house. We got to go to the zoo, children's museum, and just have lots of fun at the house. It's one of the kids favorite places. :)

Kate, Lilly and Madison on Spring break

Two goofy goobers. We had a blast visiting the McAvoys

Like Father like Son!

This was in Tyler Texas, it was this beautiful children's park

Its been a long time since I have posted anything! We have been very busy here in Texas. With homeschooling a middle school child and trying to start a craft booth, its been crazy!
Here are some pictures of Harrison's art project for co-op ...he had to make something out of duct tape. He chose a top hat, tie and vest. Thank goodness his dad has an amazing talent for duct tape! It turned out great and he actually won the prize for best project. The $10 prize will pay back the money for all of that duct tape.

Then the next pictures are of Harrison's 13 birthday......well, it's official....I have a teenager!!!!

Stahl Stars

2010-01-28T10:00:00.000-08:00

Today was a great day for the Hancock family. Samuel and Madison were honered for being a Stahl Star. They have a ceromony and they kids write an essay, then the Principal gives them an award and button.
I am so thankful and proud to have such sweet, thoughtful kids. They are good examples to everyone in their class...their teachers always tell me that they wish they could stay with them forever.
We sure miss our family...especially on days like this.

Happy Holiday from the Hancocks!! We had a wonderful Christmas and the kids got way to much this year..don't ask me why?? Santa must not have been watching the same kids as me! But as you can see Lilly was the most excited about the DS game she got. But I think one of their favorites was the ZUZU pets Santa brought. Even the boys were playing with those.
We really miss being with our loved ones for the holidays. And hope that we can come back soon.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and to let you all know how much we love and miss you. We truely feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. We have been so blessed this year. We were given so much and are so thankful for it. We have such amazing families that give so much to us and we can never thank you enough.
We really do love and miss you. And we hope that we can be together soon.
Here are some pictures of our Christmas Eve....we got to go on a carriage ride downtown and then go on the Riverwalk Cruise. It was so much fun, except we were not prepared for the freezing cold weather that snuck up on us. :)

I just wanted to let everyone see some good times here in Texas. Kyle won some Spurs tickets and he got to take Samuel. they had alot of fun. Also, their school has a "dress up like your favorite book character." Madi was Franni K Stein and Sam was Harry Potter. They looked so cute! Plus Madi and Sam both lost a tooth on the same day! Poor broke tooth fairy!
Also for Activity Girls they raised money for tickets to the see Nutcracker. We got dressed up and had a great time. Madi is a sweetheart!
Sorry...I can't figure out how to make the pictures look upright

Madison's Baptism

2009-11-15T16:45:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Madi was baptised by her wonderful father. My sister Debra and her family were able to come and be there for her. Harrison gave the talk about baptism and Debra the talk about the Holy Ghost. It was a small group of people, but I really appreciated the friends and family who were there for us. I can honestly say that I have never felt the spirit so strong at a baptism. Madi is such a special spirit. I know that her Heavenly Father is so proud of her and loves her....just as her father and I am.

Well, as you can see....we cut Madi's hair! She has been begging me to and I just didn't have the heart. It was a pretty sad thing to do. She has the thickest hair and it is every girls dream hair. (every girl but Madi) She loves it and that's all that matters. PLUS it is super easy to do.
Also, last week Samuel earned his Bear award. He still has a couple things for his Leave no Trace award, but we are working on them.
We love and miss all ya'll!

Madi gets a haircut and Sam gets his Bear.

I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast. He got to go to the Temple today and do Baptisms for the dead. HE was really excited! Look how tall and handsome he is! (his teacher gave him that beautiful tie)

2009-09-09T10:03:00.000-07:00

Lilly and her pre-K friends. Chloe is in the middle, she is her "Best Friend". Kaylee is on the end and she is the little girl that I do day care for. They all go to the same Pre-k though.

Snickers spent the morning chasing his tail.

I got the vinyl on the walls yesterday and the faith sign was from my At Home America vault.

Baking cookies with the girls.

Don't look at the mess behind them.

2009-08-31T07:31:00.000-07:00

Today was Lilly's first day at Saint Margret's Pre-School. She was so excited to go. Her friend Chloe will be there with her. We just hope we can keep up with tuition. :)

2009-08-29T20:32:00.000-07:00

We got to have dinner at Kelly and Toby's with Jim and Debbie. We had a blast! It is always fun spending time with dear freinds and catching up on old times. We had a great dinner and the kids had fun...Lilly and Lucas got in a couple tiffs but everything else went great!!We love the Hainings!

2009-08-25T12:09:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to me! I love my new picture I got from my B-day! And I love all the At home America items I earned for free! I think I need a new couch? It looks a little sad here.

2009-08-25T11:22:00.001-07:00

Hi ya'll. Yesterday came and went and we all survived! Phew!

2009-08-24T07:58:00.000-07:00

He is just so excited!! 7th grade woo hoo!
What a morning! We had to park a mile away from the middle school, and walk in 85 degree weather. I was holding Lilly on my back. By the time we got to the office I was dripping with sweat! Totally running off my forehead. Harrison is pretty nervous about going back to Harris but we can only pray that it will get better.

2009-08-24T07:50:00.000-07:00

Wow.. I can't believe today was the first day of school! Sam is starting 4th grade and Madi 3rd! They are both excited and a little scared to make new friends! They still miss their Utah friends.

2009-08-24T07:47:00.000-07:00
