The Lights

So Saturday we all went as a family (Hansen Family) downtown to go and see the lights. It was quite an experience. First we traveled downtown and parked at the 4th south building (thanks dad!) and then PACKED onto the trax train. I don't have a great picture to see how packed we really were but it I was getting crazy claustrophobic!



The lights were awesome this year and we have decided that we go to them too much when we started realizing which trees don't have lights which had them in previous years.

It was a great time with family that we won't soon forget. Thanks to Arvie for taking so many awesome pictures!



















After walking around temple square we walked up to Skool Lunch and got some yummy hot chocolate.







As you can see the Hansen family knows how to have fun....








So much so that Amy grabbed Jeff's hand on trax and touched some random guys butt with it..... The guy didn't think it was so funny. But as you can see Amy nearly passed out :)





Someone had the wise idea to all walk like we had no knees and Jeff decided that he wanted to make it an Olympic sport and see how fast he could run to the trax stop without using his knees :) Enjoy :)

Decorating Time

This is me modeling where our tree will go. I felt like one of the Sneeches in a Dr. Suess book or something :)










This is our awesome tree. We bought it last year, but it looks better in the room this year since we don't have our bed in that room now :)















Ali decided that to compete with mom that we would also need to have 3 trees :)










You got nothing on our trees mom! (jk your trees rock)








And finally here are our sweet stockings....

In related news: On Sunday, Max Hall at church was asked to pass the sacrament but it was immediately picked off by a University of Utah player...

Another reason not to get a tattoo

So Ali and I were thinking that if we ever did get tattoo’s (extremely highly very unlikely), that it would be cool to get some matching Bronco tattoo’s. Ali would get Denver’s new logo and I would get their old school logo. But here are some very good reasons not to get a tattoo. Enjoy :)








I hope God is a nice Juge :)























Ummm can it be both, I also like how TRADGEY is bolded and all caps :)












Thank you Ali for teaching me Tom-or-row. I have always had trouble with that one












Maybe Elese is a name? Hey everyone! Elese does!










For those of you who dont habla ebonics like me, Chi-town stands for Chicago, but Chi-Tonw that I have no idea :)

Have you ever wanted to call someone but hoped that you just get their voicemail? Well you can!

Call someone and have the call go straight to voice mail - their phone will not notify them of an incoming or missed call, just of the voice message. Although you can call from a land line or a cell, this will only work when calling a cell phone. 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425)

Here is a cool website that writes complaint letters for you...I thought dad would like this. You can complain to a person or a company and make it as long as you like. As long as you don't really care about any kind of specifics it is pretty funny. I did a test on The Mountain network... here it is:

http://www.pakin.org/complaint
The MNT network's worst transgressions are systematically whitewashed by the press. To counteract that whitewash, I will use the remainder of my space here to expose The MNT network for what it really is. So let's begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. Pardon my coarse language, but I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that The MNT network is up to, the more shocking things, things like how it wants to keep us hypnotized so we don't follow knowledge like a sinking star beyond the utmost bound of human thought. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but it occasionally shows what appears to be warmth, joy, love, or compassion. You should realize, however, that these positive expressions are more feigned than experienced and invariably serve an ulterior motive, such as to dump effluent into creeks, lakes, streams, and rivers. Finally, if this letter generates a response from someone of opposing viewpoints, I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. I've gotten enough of that already from The MNT network.

Is this dad's real website????

"My" Music

So does anyone else get this feeling? I have a band that I have "discovered" and they have not hit it big yet, so they are "your" band. Then suddenly one day "your" band has a hit and it starts getting radio play and more popular. You should be happy that this band has made it big yet you are upset because they are "your" band. I know that it is extremely selfish but this happens to me...and I think hey that's "my" band! It first happened with Relient K, I really like them (and still do they are in my top 5) then "Be my escape" became big....Most recently it was "Jack's Mannequin" I started listening to them years ago, now they are getting big!

Right now I am listening to a few new bands so just incase they get popular you will know that they are "mine" :)
Anberlin & Hit The Lights

You can hear any of "my" bands on my playlist....

Bishop Higgins Blog

A few weeks ago Jim sent me a link to this awesome blog! I finally got around to looking at it again. Here is an example of one oh his blog entries:

Baby Blessing
Last Sunday, Justin Gorble blessed their sweet little daughter, Cassie. Justin informed me there were quite a few things he forgot to mention in the blessing. And while they won't "count" now, he did want me to mention to the ward some of the things he wishes he would have remembered to say

....And Cassie, we bless you to never use swear words until you're at least 21, and then only if you're in a play about coal miners. We bless you to be extra kind to Chinese people. They seem to hardly ever get a break. We bless you to not marry anyone named Butch. That name alone should tell you all you need to know.

We bless you to be healthy, and if you do get an anal fissure, it won't be until you are at least 93 years old. We bless you to not get vanity license plates.

We bless you to be able to keep from bursting into laughter whenever you meet people that say they went to LDS business college. We bless you to be a good speller.

You come from a long and proud line of Gorbles. Never forget that you are a Gorble. While the name may be a little silly and sort of sounds like an overweight person with a double chin, you should still be proud of your heritage and just be glad your last name isn't Siemens.

We bless you, that, if during your lifetime, someone figures out a way for humans to become invisible, you will use this power for good, never for evil. Satan will try and tempt you to become invisible and go to movies without paying for them. Resist this temptation.

We bless you to avoid getting an email address that sounds like you're a stripper. We bless you to be kind to animals, but never try to elect one to political office.

We bless you that you will have a beautiful singing voice that will lift the spirits of many through the power of music. Learn well the songs of Karen Carpenter. These songs will bless the lives of so many people at the old folks home if you can just get over the smell and humble yourself to go there and perform.

We bless you to have good memorization skills but also be good at ping-pong and hacky sac.

And finally, we bless you to look good in pink, but also in orange and brown.
