Happy Birthday Ashley!!

I can't believe that Ashley has already turned 11!! In true Hanson form, we had to have more than one celebration.  Ashley REALLY wanted to go to Banyan's (on the WSU golf course) for her family birthday, so our Coeur d'Alene family was wonderful to come down and join us for church then brunch.  The next weekend we took her friends Grace, McKenna and Rachel to Sky High in Spokane to jump on the tramps. 

Chukar wanted to celebrate too!!

Paul's 40th birthday

  For Paul's 40th birthday, he wanted to celebrate at the cabin.  Muffin blew up 40 black balloons and put lots of candy in little bags, then we dumped the balloons out of the upper window onto Paul as he came through the back door.
