Long lost friends.....

When we moved to Utah in January of 2011 Hunter and Lexy kept reminding me of some "Idaho Friends" we had left Idaho in 2006 for Lehi Utah. The Hansen Family lived only about 1 block from our house in Nampa, Idaho. We had many fun summers together swimming, biking and playing the the sand box! Lorena and I were even pregnant at the same time... her with Jon (their 5th) and I with Hudson. After trying numerous times to find their phone number and emailing the wrong address serveral times. Lorena and I finally stumbled upon each other at the Utah Christian Homeschoolers conference. It was a Divine intervention because Craig and I were attending the conference and they were just picking up some books at the vendor hall. Regardless, we finally go the families together on April 22nd for a BBQ. Then we had 2 Hansen boys spend the night for a few days (the benefits of homeschooling!!!) Hunter, Jonathan and Josh camped out in our tent trailer in the front yard, they built boats to float down the stream, split wood and burned old tree branches. Fun was had by all. Here are a few photos to celebrate the reunion of old friends...
