Pretty much sums me up!
This is the longest I've ever gone without posting. I am ashamed. I have decided that it is 2 things that have sucked the motivation right out of me--some may think I never had any to begin with, but I like to think there was a smidgen in me somewhere...
First of all it is cold. I have officially decided that I don't like being cold. Probably should have thought about that a bit more before I moved to Idaho, but what do you do? I will tell you that it is not nearly as cold as where I grew up in Salt Lake, nor is it as cold as it was the 2 winters we spent in Chicago...and actually the handful of cold days in Houston with 95% humidity were even worse than it is here, but still...I don't like being cold.
So that's my first excuse. The second is my new lounge wear I got from Costco for Christmas. It is dreamy. But somehow...when I put it on...which is like everyday, I just want to turn on the fire and watch one of my 80 CSI episodes that I have DVR'd...with my toasty new throw Jared got at Eddie Bauer. It is a good thing I have 4 children to care for or I just may do that.
I need to put a warning here that the lounge sets are 90% Nylon and 10% Polyester Elastic which means that if you lean up against the fireplace glass while it is on....it will start to smell and the fabric will melt. I learned this the hard way, so take my word for it.
It was much like my experience when Jared and I were dating. I was using a lint buster on a sweater and found myself staring into the darn thing and before I knew it I felt the urge to put the lint buster on my tongue just to see how it felt to be a sweater being "lint busted"...and let me tell you it HURTS! As I'm sure you can imagine, my tongue was cut by the blades and it was a while until I could eat comfortably...
So onto us. Not much going on. School is back in. We had a fun MLK day with the Johnson's--lunch at Fudrucker's and the Bee Movie. Rachel went to a friends house instead, so it was just Ben, Jen & their 3 boys and Jared and I and our 3 boys. I told Jen next time we need to send Jared and Ben out with all the boys and she and I can hit a girls movie!
I will post some Christmas and New Years pictures soon.
Hope you are all well!

Helllllooooo Beeecckkkyyy!
So glad you're back!
The other day I read this remark from some anonymous pre-schooler requesting his Mom to check his pants as he thought what was going to come out was just air and Daren asks me if that was a Hansen kid.
We miss the adventures and funny one- liners that you usually so aptly provide!!
I was just going to post on my blog, "Becky, where are you?" Glad to hear you are doing well. Sorry about the cold. I couldn't do it anymore. Blech. I feel for you.
That is the cutest darn picture! Two things are crossing my mind.... First, I hope Becky has a fire extinguisher in her home and secondly, Where can I get a lint buster to understand what you are talking about. :) You crack me up! I hope I'm getting one of those pictures!!
You live !!!
And the wait is over. Seriously, I told you before your blog is like my morning coffee. Since I don't drink coffee, it's pretty much painful not to have an updated Becky blog to read. AAAAHHH, what a refresher. So I'm totally wondering what in the world made you think to try the lint buster on your tongue?? ... and we wonder why your kids are so funny!!!!
Yeah!!! I'm relieved. I had to check with Carrie P. to make sure you guys were okay.
Good to have you back. It was a nice day, I agree next holiday, boys day out.
So good to see a new post from you. ( : I love the new pic of the kids - they're growing up WAY too fast.
As far as the lounge wear goes - it sounds fabulous. Hope all is well.
