my friends tell me how much my girls look alike these days.

I really don't see it.....except in pics they have taken together.

maybe they just look alike because they're being nerdy!

Here's Preston showing us the sneaky "reach over and take Davis' egg" move.

Avery in the background looking for eggs, but actually, he ate more than he looked!

Maybe next year we'll have a little more action! Some of the participants this year were pretty stationary.

Randy's CD Release Party

2010-03-26T23:30:00.000-07:00

Randy's CD release party was awesome! It took him a year to record all 11 songs. All are orginal songs that he was written over about a 5 year span. He recorded all his own music playing all the instruments, except the drums ( although he can play the drums too). He also did all the vocals.

Jamee's first performance EVER!
Way to go, girl

In Loving Memory of LeLa Christensen Hansen

2010-03-09T07:54:00.000-08:00

It was a beautiful March day. We felt very blessed that our Mom passed away so peacefully. We will miss her but we know that she had many loved ones that were waiting for her return.

Kenn always has the perfect touch when it comes to flowers. He's been planting Mom and Dad's flower beds for some time now making them so beautiful.

My grand daughter, Daisy Hall. Named after my Mom's mother, Daisy Bell Kirkham.

Toree and her friends in the musical-CURTAINS. It's a play within a play. Its a group of actors trying to make a hit show out of "Robbin' Hood." A comedy murder mystery of who-dun-it.

It takes place in Boston in 1959. Love the blonde hair-dos!

TOY STORY

2010-01-04T22:16:00.000-08:00

After Christmas, Dennis and I were up in the attic putting the bins away and we found this bin over in the corner. We got it down to see what was inside. We found a bunch of my old dolls! Ohhh....such happy memories! I loved each one! I can remember their names, where I lived when I got them, how old I was and ALL the wonderful memories of the hours I played with them! They were like "real" to me! and as I'm enjoying my reminiscing......My girls see my dolls.

"Oh my gosh! They're so scary and ugly! "

Guess who's TWO?

2010-01-02T13:57:00.000-08:00

Avery had a Birthday Bash! Avery brought his favorite present with him to the park. He's pretty darn good! It totally reminds us of Chad (daddy) and Devin when they were that age.

daddy still has it

First time blowing or eating bubbles

Happy Birthday to YOU!

The weather today was absolutely beautiful!
Perfect park day.

2009-12-31T23:21:00.000-08:00

Our family is such a great blessing to us! What would life be without them?

Here are some of the things we did together:

It's been years since we have had a family picture with everyone. Either the boys were on missions, not everyone could come, or a spouse wasn't there, etc. SO, I was very excited to have my whole family home for this one day. My goal was to get a picture. So I noticed that no one was having naps so I said- "Hey, let's get a picture!" So everyone was getting in there places and Devry said, "Where's Toree?" and I said, "oh!! I could just spit!"

I forgot she had gone with friends to a New Years Eve party!

We'll have to paste her in there!

We love our firepit. So we must "always" love marshmellows!

Lulu loves roasting the mellows!

We had so much fun playing games! We brought out Luck Plus card game that we hadn't played in years. It was new all over again!

Choo Choo

2009-12-30T21:56:00.000-08:00

We took the kids to the Train Park in Scotsdale. Cooper and Avery love trains!

Being Christmas time, the park was very festive and fun
These two mostly came along because they heard we were going out to lunch after the park!

just waiting our turn

2009-12-30T21:36:00.000-08:00

Avery thought the train ride was great!

Cooper liked riding in the cattle car. Lindsay took a turn with him in there and she said she couldn't see a thing! (no kidding!)

very fun ride around the park

Lindsay and Daisy on the merry-go-round

We had a fun morning!

I've just decided that there should be at least 1 baby at every Christmas.

So here's a BIG thank-you, ahead of time, to my married kids!

We played alot of the Beatles Rockband. It's amazing how many years we have been singing these old songs and now my kids like to sing them!

This girl is amazing on expert.......and gets 100%!

2009-12-28T23:11:00.000-08:00

Do you see why I love being a Grandma?

These two had such a great time together.

and these two!
"Hey, Joseph. What's up?" Avery found out that Grandma didn't mind him carrying these around since they're made out of cardboard! He had a great time.

Lindsay finally lost her tooth! That was pretty exciting!

Our life-size Cabbage Patch Kid

2009-12-28T14:00:00.000-08:00

When Davis came over the other night, he reminded us of something from the past especially with that shirt on. We couldn't put our finger on it. Then it hit us!! We ran to the toy closet and got down the Cabbage Patch Kids. And there he was!!!

Our Annual Christmas Nativity

Good participating this year except we couldn't get the wise men to show up!

It's always hard to gather the grandkids for a pic and get them all sitting. It looks pretty calm but after they shouted "CHEESE!"......the little ones burst into tears! The volume was pretty high. That next pic would have been a classic.

Christmas morning opening presents

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

What a wonderful time of the year to enjoy our families and to

remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Our Family has been truly blessed this past year.

Our desire is to be like Him and celebrate His birth by being followers of Christ in our words and deeds.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and send our love to all of you!

My love/hate relationship with sandboxes

2009-12-23T00:21:00.000-08:00

Every once in a great while I come up with "something" that I'm kinda proud of! This time it would be a sandbox for my grandkids! I have great memories of playing with my cousins in my Grandma Hansen's sandbox. We would spend hours out there under her tree having a wonderful time. We always had sandboxes for our own kids but I hated how they would track it in the house in their shoes or pockets...whew....and in their hair! (I didn't solve that one, so get over it!) So, here is my sandbox!

you heard me- a - sand - box.

Comes with a lid!
They sit "around it." Not "in it." And you can get little cushions for their little buns! (optional)

I put my sandbox on my pavers so when the sand gets dumped out, accidently of course, I just sweep it into the cracks!

2009-12-22T21:10:00.000-08:00

Jillyn and Brandon are living in Orem, Utah

We were excited once again to eat outside on the patio. Some years it's a little nippy.

My BirTthd@y SuRPriSe

2009-11-12T14:17:00.000-08:00

I went to a concert for my birthday Randy surprised me and got me a ticket to go see Sherwood.

Randy will hand me a CD and then tells me to play it in the car.

He'll say" I think you'll like this!"

He's always right. I started listening to them a couple of years ago.

Loved all their songs. Could sing all the words. Yep.........I have to admit that I'm one of those that sings in the car, even at stop lights- especially 70's songs.

My girls get embarrassed and ask me to stop!

But...I can't help myself!

Sherwood was actually opening for......are you ready for this?

Hanson! What? Those boys are still around?

Almost everyone came for Hanson so after Sherwood played we went out to the lobby during intermission. We were glad all the fans for Hanson stayed inside cuz we were able to hang out and talk with Sherwood. Randy told them it was my surprise birthday present to come.

They were like- You like us??

guitar- Dan
Mikey-keyboards
Randy tells Mikey, "this is my Mom.
She knows all your songs and sang all the words tonight!
I think it blew him away!
he's probably thinking- WOW, she's older than my mom!

Nate- lead singer and guitar

david-guitar
very nice and personable

Before we left for Tucson, I asked Randy if I would be the oldest one there?
He just said-"come on Mom. It'll be fun!"
So...I thought, I'll never see these people again. So I just had a blast with my 3 peeps!
So, how was Hanson?
Don't know, don't care!
We went home!

The blessing of Davis Chad Day

A very special day for this handsome little guy!
We all went up to Showlow for the blessing of Preston.

We're so happy for this new little family!

We had a surprise for Devin and Preston. When Devin unwrapped the present, inside was....... MOUSIE!

Yes, it's true, Mousie is still alive! He's been stored up in my closet for many, many years! This was Devin's favorite toy when he was little. Devin gave him a hair cut once and he is missing his mouth and part of his nose! But Mousie was so loved!! (move over velveteen rabbit)
It seems like Preston has taken a liking to him already!

Labor Day Weekend

2009-09-09T22:38:00.000-07:00

Chad, Devin and Dad had fun golfing! They either did really good.....or not!

2009-09-09T21:44:00.000-07:00

When the guys were not out golfing, we spent alot of time outside on the patio watching the other golfers. Devin and Chad were obsessed with lost golf balls and the balls that went into the pond behind Devin's house. They collected lost balls throughout the day. They had fun planning their invention of this giant net they would put into the pond and every night they would somehow crank it up and the net would be filled with all these golf balls. My sons, the millionaires!
avery, daddy and randy

The famous pond beyond the house! This time there were alot of ducks for Avery to feed!

Good times!

jillyn's Wedding

2009-02-04T19:06:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILLYN!

Jillyn is turning 25

I thought it would be fun to see some pics from the past. ENJOY! Proud daddy
We started seeing Jillyn's personality right from the beginning.
She really couldn't help it. It was that red hair!!Once our home teachers came over to visit when all the other kids were in bed. Jillyn went in the kitchen where I was painting some crafts. She not only painted herself, but she painted the kitchen table, finished my wooden craft by squeezing the whole bottle of paint onto it. Then she painted a small TV that was on the table and the TV screen. But we laughed the hardest when we noticed she even painted up the long antenna!

Jillyn was sassy!!

Who doesn't love this picture! When talking with the bishop before her baptism, the bishop asked Jillyn her full name. "Do you have a middle name?" "Yes." He asked, " What is it?" "Pooh!"
I guess we should explain to our children their nicknames: Jillyn-y-pooh

2009-02-04T17:48:00.000-08:00

Cute little piano player

1st day of 1st grade

Jillyn has always loved animals

2009-02-04T17:21:00.000-08:00

Playing Wham basketball. She was really good!
Visiting the rest home. Was this the time the man in the wheelchair started rolling down the driveway and the worker was running after him trying to stop the wheelchair? It was like something in a movie! sad.....but he did stop the wheelchair and everything was OK. Now we have a good laugh about it!

Jillyn with her little sisters at a YW activity.

family reunion in Idaho FallsJillyn thought she was Nadia. She watched the Olympics every night and would use the back of the couch as a balance beam. She insisted I put Nadia on the back of her leopards with iron-on letters.

As you can see by these pictures, Jillyn was alot of fun with all her craziness! She still makes us laugh and we miss having her around. Thank goodness for blogs. We never know what she'll do next! We love you Jillyn!

The Newest Coupon Queen

2009-01-28T14:12:00.000-08:00

If you know me well, you know how I love to make a good deal! I cannot stand to pay full price for anything. I head for clearance racks, outlets stores, and etc. I've made some incredible purchases over the years. I wish I had written them down so I could read them and get excited all over again! Yes....I'm an addict. I love coming home and asking Dennis what he thinks I paid for my treasures, then knockin his socks off with my steamin deal! My daughter-in-law, Corri, got me doing coupons at the grocery store. Oh My!! I had a great time yesterday! As I left the parking lot and came to the first stop light, I wanted to roll down my window and tell the passenger in the car next to me about how much money I just saved! Wow, that's embarrassing to admit! So I did the next ridiculous thing. I came home and took pictures of my groceries! I'm scaring myself! I paid $13.88 and saved $97.75!

Well, I still had some more coupons in my purse so...........after a quick bite to eat, I got back in my car and went through the grocery line 2 more times! (Toree asked me if I got a different cashier each time, I think she was embarrassed for me!) Oh ya, I felt the same! By the end of my shopping, I had spent $68.62 and saved $159.88! Yippee

2008-12-23T09:48:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE DAY'S
Hope your Christmas will be happy!!!

Our favorite Christmas memory from last year.....Little Avery 2 days old had just come from the hospital! He arrived at our annual Nativity play just in time to be little Jesus! As you can see, he did a great job! May you enjoy this season that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Christmas Concert at the Mesa Temple

2008-12-16T17:37:00.000-08:00

For the past 8 years, our stake, the Gilbert Arizona Stake and the St. Annes Catholic Church here in Gilbert had our annual combined choir at the Mesa Temple. This was my 4th year and Dennis' first year. It is alot of fun and we always meet new friends and see friends from other years. It is a wonderful experience! You can see Dennis there on the first row on the right. I'm on the right side and up and to the left of the flute player. My head is turned. Yes.........I'm talking to my friend. (shocker) The performance hadn't started yet, okay? haha

Didn't Jamee take a great picture of the Temple? Mesa Temple grounds and Visitor Center has one of the largest Christmas Light displays. It's very beautiful!!

Some of my friends ask me what we do during the day for homeschool.

On this day, Randy called for us to come down to his room. We each got our assignment.
He taught us our part and soon we were playing the theme song from the office! We were actually good! We're goners once the real band comes.

I was told not to smile. They say it's the band look.

Things are looking up!

And......Brooke and David. They all grew up together in the same ward.

2008-08-20T14:14:00.001-07:00

how I spent my summer vacation

2008-08-20T14:13:00.001-07:00

Growing up in my family meant we bought a house, my dad would totally remodel it then sell it. My dad was a professional painter, wallpaper hanger and a school teacher. It must be in my blood because I love painting, doing mouldings, wood trims, decorating and etc. My sister, JaNae, has the same interests. We dream about flipping houses! Being busy moms and now grandmas we're not sure this will ever happen. So, we decided to remodel our parents home in Orem, Utah. We did the master bedroom last year. Then we went up for the whole month of July this year and did the rest of the upstairs. My parents home was very cute in the 80's. But it was time for a new updated look. My parents are now 86 years old. My sister and I had a blast! Check out the slideshow of the before and after pictures. There are a few things that weren't finished when the pic were taken, but I think you'll get the idea.

sign us up for parents of the year

2008-08-18T17:39:00.000-07:00

Toree has been begging like a dog.....I mean... she has been begging for a dog since she could speak. I mean talk !! She would crawl around the house with a leash hooked to a collar. Her brothers and sisters would humor her and take her for walks. She would say: I'm a dog. My name is Purdy and I'm a Dalmatian dog! This went on for months and months. She even licked my ankle once when I was working in the kitchen. That's when I drew the line! We always thought that this dog phase would fade away.............but it actually got worse Dennis was raised on a dairy farm and he always told the kids that we would only get a dog if we moved to a farm. We have said- no to a dog all these years. So this is quite a shock for all the older brothers and sisters. Our family and friends cannot believe we are really doing this. I think I'm still in shock! Are we crazy????
It's amazing how sometimes things are just meant to be. We were introduced to a new friend that needed a home for her dog. It happen to be the only breed of dog I would ever consider owning. We had a chance to adopt her so......for about a week we had to keep the biggest secret of the century! Toree's birthday isn't until August 29th. While Toree and Jamee went to a stake fireside we went and picked up our new dog.
At first, Toree just looked at the dog. We kept saying Happy Birthday Toree. She kept saying-are you serious?
even if you're not a dog lover, admit she's darn cute!!!
Home Sweet Home

2008-07-21T18:38:00.000-07:00

While I was up in Utah, Jillyn and I drove to SLC Sunday morning to watch the live broadcast of the Spoken Word on Temple Square. It was so wonderful! The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and orchestra are amazing! The music was heavenly!!! It was especially exciting since my cousin, Laurie is a new member of the choir. I found her up on the 6th row. I felt so proud of her and her great accomplishment.

Then....I was very happy because I got to talk to my childhood friend, Lloyd Newell. I haven't seen him for a few years. Wish we would have had more time to visit but he is a busy man on Sunday morning! It was great to see him again. It was Lloyd's B-day so the choir sang to him after the broadcast. For anyone who doesn't know who Lloyd Newell is, he is the famous voice we hear while watching the Spoken Word on Sunday mornings. This is the longest running live broadcast in the world. People all over the world hear this each Sunday.
Here is an old picture of us. There's Lloyd in the middle with his sister, Debbie on the left and yours truly on the right holding my cat, Smokey. The 3 of us went to school together, Sharon Elementary, Orem Jr. and then Orem High. Aren't we cute?
Here I am with my cousin, Laurie. It was so great to talk with her. We haven't seen each other for many years. Hope she will sing in the Tabernacle Choir for years to come.
Last but not least, we were able to visit with Dennis' sister, Julie and her husband, Darrell. They are missionaries at the Family History Center in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. They really enjoy their calling.

Welcome Home Elder Day !!!

Arriving at the airport. We can't believe how quickly 2 years have gone by. We can't wait to see Elder Day. Will he be the same "Randy" we all know and love?! ha ha
We found out that Randy's plane has been delayed about 15 mins. But as you can see from the smiles, they don't seem to mind.
Chad was hungry so he decided that he might as well get a bit to eat while he's waiting!
Glad to be sitting here verses sitting in traffic
It shouldn't be much longer!

Cooper's shirt says he's with the Band. I think they all want to be in Randy's next band!
Everyone is so anxious!
Everyone was screaming Randy's name. But he wasn't paying any attention to us...... Then we realized that he was busy sharing the gospel message with this gentleman who as you can see is putting a pass along card in his shirt pocket! Go Elder Day!
He's home!

Lindsay wants her Uncle Randy back home
We had a wonderful experience at the Stake Center visiting with Pres. Ballard. Our family feels truly blessed. We missed Brandon (jillyn's husband) and Kristin (devin's wife). They both had to work and couldn't be here with us. We missed you and love you too!
Today was also Devry's Birthday! Having all our family home together today has been so much fun . I love family chaos, the laughter, grandkids running around and the fun and crazy things we do! Welcome Home Randy-You're the Best!

Crazy Girls

Guess who loves David?

If you have children like mine, you absolutely need this....

Our YW had a fundraiser car wash in earn money for camp. Toree and her friend, Cortney went into the church to wash their hands. To their dismay, when they returned they found out that Shaq had dropped by and donated $200 and took a picture with the girls and their leaders. Jamee is on the back row 2 left of Shaq.

Grandpa Day comes down from Idaho Falls to spend time with us each winter. He loves our beautiful weather! Here he is with his 51st? great-grand child, Avery Jackson Day.

During the Easter weekend we took a trip up to Show Low to visit with Devin and Kristin. We always have a great time together. Every night we pull out the Rook cards. We love to play our favorite card games ( Idiots Delight and Oh, Heck- to name a few! )

Watch out for Grandpa Day- he's shows no mercy! Behind Devin and Kristin's backyard is their golf course. So we just jump over the fence after hours. This evening, we went to drive some balls. Did I mention that Grandpa Day is going to be 97 years old this September?!! He can still drive it! He's Amazing!

Kristin has become quite the golfer this year. This is my first time swinging a cub on a real golf course. When I did connect with the ball, it went pretty good. But I couldn't believe how many times I totally missed it all together!! I'm not sure why people love this game so much?

my 2 grandsons

I have the cutest grandsons. Avery is 4 months and Cooper is 1 1/2. If you think they're cute you should see my granddaughters.

The Backyard Project

2008-03-31T13:27:00.000-07:00

Here at the Day Home, we started an overwhelming project, as if we didn't have enough to do! After 12 years in our home, we finally decided to put a little pizazz into our backyard. We went and got some great ideas from model homes. We got started and kept making changes and more changes until we now are in a mess!!! We think we know what we want. So, 2 months behind schedule, we are getting serious now that the weather is getting hotter!

Check back before the temperature is over 100 degrees to see how much we got done!
