Ethan missing 2 teeth

So while I was busy with getting things done for Ryan post accident Ethan comes up to me and says "Momma I think I am going to loose a tooth" I said, "O yeah do you have one loose?" He responded, "No but look," Sure enough no loose tooth but sure as heck he had a new one growing behind. Well I just couldn't mentally accept a trip to the dentist that day so I decided to put it off for a while after making sure it was okay with my bro-in-law that is a dental hygentist. But as soon as my mental capasity could fit it in I took him in sure enough They pulled two teeth. He wasn't very happy! We came home put the teeth in a glass bottle with water and sure enough the next day the water was blue and Ethan had $2.50 for the two teeth! I cannot believe he is growing up soooooo fast!


This was a few days later



This was right after the Dentist Visit


Kick Me Sign

So My Mom and Dad had the kids the entire weekend of Ryans accident (Thanks Mom Dad and Mac) Well if you know Ethan he is a little sponge I love him but sometimes he is just alittle too cleaver. Well some how he came up with the Idea of a kick me sign to put on Addy's back, well when he sat down to write it out he discovered that he wasn't sure how to spell "kick me". Instead of asking he decided to draw it. I had heard about this sign that he put on Addys back but hadn't seen it until my brother Mac emailed me a picture of it. I am not sure who will end up with the sign whether it be me or mom but I think it might just derserve to be framed for life! I love you Ethan but try to be nicer to sis!

Ryans Accident

O my goodness what a week.........
So here is the story of Ryan's accident
Thursday night May 7, Ryan got a phone call from his Mom saying that she had to have surgery the next morning due to kidney trouble. A surgery for Mom Hanson is a huge deal she is not in great health anyway and any kind of big or small is a huge deal and a great risk. Ryan and I felt it was important for him to go down to Logan and be there for her. Orrin his younger brother from Boise and his wife were also going to be there. Anyway off Ryan went all went well with her surgery and Ryan and I talked about whether he was going to go to Bear Lake to make sure she was okay for the night or if he was going to come home. I had to work that night so I arranged for my Mother to take the kids to her house for the night and I was going to meet her in Blackfoot and trade them. Ryan never called me to tell me what is definate plans were so I stuck with mine with the attititude that he could pick them up that night on his way through or we could go down the next afternoon and pick them up.
Well the kids and I got all ready for them to have their sleep over with Grandma Harris. They were so sooooo excited. We went to Blackfoot and met my mom and 5:10 in the Ridleys parking lot. I got out got the kids settled all in the mean time my phone was sitting on the seat of my car. We said our goodbyes and I got in the car. My Mom sat in her parking spot for a minuet and I actually looked at my phone to get the time but had missed two calls form a number I didn't know. I usually would wait to check the message until later but for some reason I checked it right then. It was a lady that was telling me that there was a truck overturned in Emigration canyon and the Gentleman inside gave her my number. I knew it was Ryan.......Mom and I were both leaving the parking lot by then and I just started honking. She got out I parked my car I told her about the message. She calmed me down I called into work and I jumped in her car. Mac had come with her so I got in the back seat between the two kids. The lady said she thought he would be taken to Preston hospital so I remembered Ryan saying that he though Orrin and Sara were going to stay in Logan before going back to Boise so I called him first #1 they were the closest and Orrin is a Paramedic in Ada county and he knows alot about these kinds of things, anyway they were at the interchange to either go to Preston or head to Boise and they detored and went to Preston. In the mean time the lady called me againa nd said she thought he might be going to Bear Lake beings she saw Bear Lake responders. So I called Ryan's Moms house to tell them what was going on when his Older brother Mike happened to be there. I told him what was happening and he told me he would call his sis-in-law that is a nurse at Bear Lake Memorial. He called me back and told me that they were expecting a victim from a one-car-rollover in emigation canyon . By then Mom and I were at McCammon. So we just kept driving. We got there and Ryan was in the ER all of his family was around him and I walked in. I remember looking at him not knowing what to expect. He broke down and I just kissed his cheek. Held his hand. I remeber Orrin coming and putting his arm around me and I lost it. Orrin and I have a great relationship as a Brother and Sister in-law. We get along really well and understand each other. Orrin can tell what I am thinking before I really know. I was so grateful to have him there. I also had his older brother Mike that is amazing in situations like this. He is the oldest brother and Ryan is extremely close to him also. It was such a comfort having those two big Hanson boys there it seemed almost like they were Ryan and my protection that night.
Anyway we found out while in Bear Lake that Ryan had a broken neck. He broke it in two spots. By this time it was almost 9:30 we talked about transporting him to EIRMC that night but I decided his pain was now under control and what would EIRMC do tonight anyway. I wanted everyone to be able to sleep including Ryan. We got his stableized and into a room by about 10:00. They gave us a double room that night it was so nice to have a bed although I didn't sleep much. Kristy (my Mike's sis-in-law) stayed way beyond her shift to make sure Ryan got settled she was amazing to him. After he got into his room I asked him if he would like a blessing I remeber telling him he needed one, Mike was still there and Ryan agreed to have one. Mike got his brother in law Ryan to come over and they gave him a blessing. I remeber at that moment I knew that he was going to be okay.
The next morning Ryan was transported to EIRMC via ambulance. Orrin rode with him while Sara and I followed in her car. About 5 pm Ryan was Admitted to EIRMC for observation. He started to stand up and walk alittle and started to look tons better. Sweet Orrin sent me home that night so I could get a goodnights rest and he stayed with Ryan. Sara and I came home and got back to the hospital bright and early the next day. We brought Ryan home that evening. Sara and Orrin stayed until the next day. I think Orrin would have stayed forever if he could have! They were such big help with the kids and helping make phone calls and taking me here and there.
So here we stand. Dr. Cach says he will be in the neck brace for 12 weeks. We are still waiting on whether or not he will need surgery. Dr. Redd says he wished Ryan would have doen a better job at breaking his wrist because it could have been fixed but he just broke a chunck of bone out and the ligiment damage is far worse than the break. It will take time to heal. As for Ryan's career as a capenter it is unclear.
We can only take this day by day. We are blessed to have the wonderful family we do for the help his brothers and sister-inlaws were that night. For the wonderful Messerly famliy that dropped everything to help. For my parents to take the children all week and there continued help they help us so much they will never know how much we love them. So many blessings will come out of this I know they will. I am so thankful to have my husband here with me today.



So here are a few pics taken just the other day Ryan was able to hold Miss Addyson and Rock her to sleep for the 1st time since the accident. I know he was hurting while this little girl sat on his lap but I don't think any amount of pain would have stopped him from holding her that night. She needed him and he needed her!

Addy's Skirt

So I ran across a tutorial on the internet on how to make this skirt. The tutorial was for an adult size and I so wanted to make me one but I have a hard time ripping up my pants for an experiment. Well I decided that I would try it for Addy and because she HATES pants she has a few that are barely worn that are getting to be high waters on her any way so I decided to use those and it would give her yet another skirt. It turned out way cute I love it. We did have an issue because it was Sunday and I wanted her to wear it to church #1 because I had stayed up late last night sewing it #2 I was not going to wait another day for her to wear it, because I am impatient! #3 It was snowing outside and I thought it would be warmer on her legs. #3 really didn't have as much impact on my wanting her to wear it as much as reason #1 and #2. Anyway she refused threw herself on the floor telling me she was not going to wear it she wanted a dress and she didn't want this skirt because it was made out of pants "MOM I HATE PANTS AND THIS SKIRT IS MADE OUT OF PANTS!".......Imagine my frustration!!!!!! So being the smart and cleaver Mom I am I told her that if she wore a dress she would have a pocket to carry her lip gloss. To my suprise it WORKED she wore the skirt had a lip gloss in each pocket and Mom and Daughter were happy going to church!




Spa Night

We Had spa night the other night after playing really hard all day long...It was clean out the garage day and we were all tired the only one who didn't get his feet wet was Ryan I guess he is just too much of a man! :)
Addy's toenails after we were finished she is so girly

Park and a Picnic



Today we decided we would go to the park and have a picnic. I got out the picnic basket and everything. On the menu PB&J, Cheetos, String Cheese, and Cookies. We had a great time at the park. Addy found a new swing and talked Ethan into pushing her.






Just Loving the Warm Weather

The Weather Here is AWSOME right now I took some pics of the kids in the driveway. I know there are alot more of Addy than Ethan, but Ethan is at that age that he doesn't want me to take his picture and when I do it is a fake smile! Rrrrrrrrrr.
