Great Grandma and Grandpa Hansen


My mom and her mom. She is where we get out good looks. Thanks grandma. I love how she is giving me her "what up" wave in this picture. Her and my grandpa are pure comedy. I'm telling you they are seriously two of the funniest people I have ever met. My grandma is always saying the funniest one liners, most of the time due to her short level of patience (must be where I got it from) and my grandpa is pretty much a comedian. He is hilarious and could entertain a crowd for hours (Jill-can we say mom's 50Th b day speech). I seriously have to make sure I'm not eating/drinking while he is talking because I have made soda come out of my nose before because he makes me laugh so hard. My sister and I beg to hang out with them but they just have these really big social lives always traveling the world and hanging out at the elks club and stuff? They are pretty much living mine and Dave's retirement dream. They travel all around in their sweet moterhome and see the world. They go to Europe at least once a year. And they are pure Awesome. I hope to be a tenth as Awesome as them when I am their age.

Kai and here great grandma Jan.

Kardiff and my mom.
My kids watching a performer at the street fair. If you have never been to the Tuesday night street fair on main street in HB your missing out. We try to go as much as possible. the kids love to watch the performers, the live music, and I love to stock up on our weeks fresh, locally grown organic produce.

This guy totally had my kids and grandpa entertained. Grandma however.... She kept saying things like, "Lets get this show on the road" and "Just Do It Already!!" I was pretty much peeing my pants. I have seen the guy do his act numerous times, but nothing compares to the pure entertainment of grandma/grandpa.

Here is grandpa Ben modeling my sisters engagement ring-on his pinkie finger. And there is history to this joke. Him and one of his friends pretend they are Gay when say your out to dinner and he is ordering to the waitress.... I guess you have to be there it is hard to explain. But at any given time he will switch to "Sven" who is this gay alter ego. And as a side note- the ring got stuck on his finger and he had to pry it off....
He is famous for doing this crazy cheek blowing noise making thing.. I don't know what it's called but he has already taught Kody how to do it, and is now working with Kardiff.

So Grandma and Grandpa were here staying in their moterhome at the beach for a week and we snatched up some of their time and went to the street fair and dinner. I cant wait until they move back here from Solvang so we can spend more time with them..(Hint Hint Grandma....)
