Fun things in the past 6 months

So many things have happened in such a short time.

 Macie had her first big dance recital with one of her best friends Brinlie Benson. Isn't she cute? She is doing very good in dance! 

McKay is getting better and better in golf and thinks that he is going to be in the PGA someday! Only probably is that he thinks it is okay to practice in the house! Later on I will post a video of him- it's great! 

Christmas was a blast even though I was due at any time, so it was some what stressful! On New Year's Day my wonderful Grandpa Edward Ferdinand Kehl passed away. He was an amazing man and loved life to its fullest. I will always keep the memories of him close to my heart. The alligator in the shed out back, the pool full of dirt and a greenhouse, the great gardens he grew, and sliding down the dirty clothes shoot. "German Girl" and "Butterball" were his nicknames for me. He will be sorely missed, and I am glad that my kids got to know him.

 The next day on Jan. 2, I went into the hospital and had our third baby, Sadie Kehl Hanson. She has been such a great blessing to our lives. She is always happy and smiles at everyone at anytime. She is full of sunshine and love. I know she waited to come to this earth until she got to see her great grandpa Kehl up in heaven. She is such a testament of the Savior and His love for us. 

As a tradition in my family, we always go to St. George on Conference weekend. This time my sister Kim, who lives in Florida, was able to come and bring her five kids! They are probably to greatest, sweetest, smartest kids alive. They have all grown up so much since we last saw them. Rachael is now almost 15! She's taller than me now and wears bigger shoes than me! She's beautiful and sweet. My kids LOVE her! My kids love all of Kim's kids. Mckay thinks that Tate (who is 8) is his personal friend and no one else can be Tate's friend. It was probably one of the greatest vacations in a long time!

Many more things have happened in these past months, almost too much to remember and write about.  At this moment a great thing is happening with my dad and sister Katie. They are both about to run the Boston Marathon tomorrow morning! I am very proud of those two and their dedication to running (I definitely did not inherit the passion for running- or working out!) :) 

This year is going to be greater than ever now with three kids and new adventures on the horizon!
