The Boys...and Emily

Ok so I left out half of us when I started my blog so here is an update on the Handsome Hansens and Nate the Great.

Nathaniel a.k.a. Nate the Great. Is currently serving our country as a Gunners Mate in the Navy. He is a third class and is stationed in San Diego Ca. He will be done with his Naval career in January and will be moving back to Oklahoma.. Yeah we cant wait. He is getting alot of pressure to stay in the Navy so we will see if they win. When he comes back to Oklahoma he will be going to school and starting that phase of his life. Harold says that he has a nice apartment with a great view. Harold went out to visit him recentley and they had a great time. They went to the beach and Sea world. Our family will all be going out there for Thanksgiving and enjoying the sun, with lots of site seeing and eating... We all be known as the fat Hansens after that.


Jonathon served his mission in the Provo Utah mission. When he returned home he worked for 6 months then moved back to Provo to go to UVSU. Because out of state tuition is unreal, he worked for a year to get residency and now that he is an offical ubangy will be attending UVSU this fall. Last year he attended a Missionary reunion where he reconnected with Sister Emily Blake. And since their hearts were no longer locked fell head over heels in love and were married on March 22. Emily is a great person and we fell in love with her the minute we met her. She is an elementary school teacher and will be teaching 2nd or 3rd grade this year. Jonathon and Emily are living in American Fork Utah.

We are proud of all of our kids, and can't wait til Thanksgiving when we will all be together again.

Tune in next time for what I am sure will be an interesting post from us...???

We are new at this

Well, it is apparent that Harold and I are behind the times. Alot of our friends and family have started doing the blog thing so I thought we would start. I give credit to the Handsome Hansens for the name. There are so many of us Hansens that this is an easy way to tell us apart. And believe me the Handsome Hansens fit them better.

So here is a brief insight into Harold and I...

Harold works for Samson Companies as Senior Geological Technician. He has worked there for 8 yrs and so far likes it. He is the ward employment specialist, he is setting the bar for that calling. He is doing an amazing job. He is still mountain biking alot and loves it. He works with Hailey on her biking skills every night. And when they are on loves to play "shoot em up" games (thanks dad for the term) with the boys, and is trying to recruit my dad to buy an xbox so he can join them. Sorry Emily...

Joleen works for Horizon Animal Hospital. She loves it, she has a great boss who has also become a good friend. It is nice because when things go wrong, Doc Cari lets her take Hailey with her to work. She is the Nursery Leader in their ward and likes to play with the little kids. Between work, nursery and Hailey their isn't much more to get into. She would bike with Harold but last time it cost them a trip to the hospital and broken bones so she is banned from the bike.

Brittney is working at Blockbuster and enjoys that. She seems to be enjoying life as a post highschool grad.

Hailey Ann Hansen was born May 5, 2008 and is absolutley beautiful, she will be 3 months on Brittney's birthday and I believe Britt has plans for some ear piercing. Hailey is a wonderfull baby and has been a blessing for our family. She looks alot like Brittney. She is trying to sit up on her own and she is always moving. She is a very energetic baby. She only wakes up once at night which is nice.

Well I hope this isn't too long and boring for you all, and I will make my site more beautiful as I figure it out !!
