So, hold on to your hats, we're off!
Kal Brandon Flammer
Mary and I drove to Kirksville, MO for Kal's baby blessing. DeAnne gave us a tour of the DO School where Brandon was attending.

Museum at the school
The visit was a lot of fun but, as always, way too short! Mary and I enjoyed the trip because we got to spend some time together. She IS my best friend, you know.
On our return trip, we stopped in Far West and visited the temple site.

Monument at the site
We also stopped in Kansas City and were hungry. We asked where the best barbecue was served. Arthur Bryants was the answer.

...back in Texas
Kristen (daughter #3) came to Texas. It was an *ahem* "exciting" time! Suffice it to say that Kristen realized some changes in her life. Mary and I went to visit her and her new friend Mike Sierra. We had met Mike before when my youngest brother, Owen, and his wife, Louise, brought Kristen and Mike up for a visit. It was a good visit. So, we went to reciprocate.

Kristen, me and Mike at their apartment in Marble Falls, TX
There is a nationally known eating establishment in Marble Falls. Of course, we had to try it out!

The famous Blue Bonnet Cafe, with Kristen and Mike
I just want my kids to be happy. Kristen is happy.
Christmas in Greeley, CO
Brad and his son Manti and step son Andrew spent Christmas with Mom and Dad Hansen. Mary and I were there too, as per our tradition. Again, as per tradition, we had a great time!

Quite the time between posts. You're not busy are you? You sure got a lot on there. Looks like too much fun!
Sandra beat me with a reply? She is a super blogger!
We were so happy to see you 2 years ago at Kal's blessing!! Maybe we can entice you out this way by mentioning the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, the Football Hall of Fame, and, of course, 3 GRANDKIDS!!
We are excited to see you at Brandon's graduation in May!!
Keep up the fun posts. I love to see what you are up to!
