Merry Christmas everyone! Sorry that we didn't send a card out. I guess this will have to do. Well Bryce just finished the fall semester last week. He will start back up in January though. He is probably going to be very busy he is going to take 16 credits and work at the hospital on the weekends and some days during the week depending on school. I hope that he will be home when it is time to have the baby. I have been keeping busy by doing stuff around the house to get ready for Christmas and for the baby. Boy am I getting big. I have been pretty lucky that I haven't been sick at all. My body just is sore. Thats my only complaint. Well I forgot that I don't like waking up 5 times in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. But I guess it's good practice to wake up that many times cause I will probably have to do it when the baby is born. Patricia and I plan on blessing our babies in April the week after conference if anyone wants to come. My dad said he would come if we did it at the same time. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. If you are traveling please travel safely. We love you all
Bryce and Ashlie

ITS A BOY!!! We are planning on naming Paul Ray Gardner. We are so excited.

Dear Hendershot family: I am so sorry for your loss. We will all miss him and his stories, his ability to make sure we always got a good deal, and his love of socializing with others. Plus, he was my, and many other's teacher in elementary school.

We love you and will keep you in our prayers, from the beautiful Oregon coast which he loved so much.

Hello everyone! So its almost been 4 months since I have been married and I am already pregnant. We are so excited! I am due Feb 14th. The baby is healthy. I haven't had any sickness at all yet I am hoping that I never get it. I was starting to show within one month I have gained about 20 pounds.
Bryce starts school next week. He is going to find a job at the hospital. I am going to start water aerobics, and do craft projects. Right now I am working on a quilt out of my mom's old clothes. Other than that nothing else is new with us. Leslie had her baby Justin at the end of July. He was about 9 pounds. Everyone else just remains busy. Hope you all are doing well

Grandma's Little Helper

Well the kids and I have been staying at my mom's House until our apartment in available in September and we spent all day outside yesterday (despite the mosquitoes the kids got bite by) And Ella decided she wanted to help (eat) in the garden. So mom wanted me to get some pics so we could of course put them on here for everyone to see. Also there are some pictures of Pa Pa (grandpa) pushing Ella in the swing.

To the tune of I Love To See The Temple

Hans thought up this little jingle. Thought you all might enjoy it! Please don't kill me if you think this is offensive. I apologize ahead of time.

"I hate to see the courthouse

That bureaucratic place

Where marriage isn't protected,

They shove it in your face.



I hate to see the courthouse

They move at a snail's pace

If only you have money

They'll look into your face.



I hate to see the courthouse

I'm glad I'm white of face.

Profiling is illegal,

but not if you're of race.



I'm sure I'll see the courthouse

I'll go inside some day

To do my juror's duty,

Ten dollars they will pay.



I went inside the courthouse

They threw Em's dad in jail,

They kicked him out o'the country

So now we only e-mail.




For the scriptures warn of the last days

When Judges (lawyers) come together,

To corrupt the laws of this great land.

They do it with such great pleasure."

Look at Me!

Hey everyone I've started my own blogg. Everyone's invited, come check it out at http://mayes9.blogspot.com/

Hayden has arrived

Hayden Jackson Hendershot was born today to Bryan and Chelsey. He was 7 lbs 5 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He was born by c-section. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Ashlie's Wedding

Well, she did it. She's married. It was a beautiful day. They beamed all day. Welcome to the family, Bryce.

With Bryce's parents

Her hair was adorable.

Grandma Juanita with Aaron

It was a beautiful day. Some of the friends from WA didn't stay for the pictures, but most of her family did.

At the reception.

Mark Singing

I took this a while ago. This is of Mark singing. You can hear baby-Jay in the background.

Yes, we are still alive

I don't post much on here, because my Hawley family has a blog, as well as Emilie's family. I also have my own my own blog for my classroom students to keep up with homework. I love blogs, but sometimes I think E-mail is easier. You hit send, and it goes to everyone whether they want it or not.

Em is still going strong in her nursing program. She has this term, and then one year left. She is doing extremely good, but the program is incredibly demanding and difficult. She is working on her associates of nursing which will make her an RN, but she is putting in WAY more effort than I had to for my Masters. The difference is that it took me 9 years to get my masters, whereas even with prerequisites, she is only taking 3, and nursing pays substantially more money than teaching does. Still, we all have to do what we love. I could NEVER go into the medical field. Blood and guts don't bother me at all, but I can't stand to see people hurting.

I am still teaching in Tillamook. I have applied for a part time grant coordinator position, but haven't heard anything back yet. There is also another part time administrative position overseeing the English Language Learners program that I will probably apply for when it opens up this month.

I am not working at the hardware store very much anymore. I have been called into scouting and so need my weekends free for camping trips, and for spending more time with my growing kids, and so I can be home so Emilie can get her school work done. Obviously, having 5 kids takes a lot of time and energy away from her, so I am trying to step up.

Daniel will be baptized this July. Crazy. Hannah is finishing kindergarten. She recently had her hair cut. Her father was NOT pleased. Still, I don't do her hair every morning, so I really have no right to complain. Ben is 4 and in preschool. Jonathan is 2 and getting into EVERYTHING. Levi is 9 months and is a happy little drooling machine.

Well, I gotta go.

Love, Hans and the Hawley Berries

Rexburg Temple

FYI: Today was the last day for the open house. I volunteered again last night and took a tour after my shift was over. The inside is amazing! So much detail everywhere you look. The sealing rooms are huge. The celestial room as the most amazing window in the front. It's two stories tall. Anyhow, amazing stuff. The dedication will be next Sunday.

How could I resist sharing these sweet smiling faces with everyone else?

We love you all!

I am engaged!!! His name is Bryce Gardner. He is from Lehi. We are planning on getting married on the 26th of April in Timpanogos temple. So mark it in your schedule if you would like to come I will send out invitations to you all. I love you

Love Ashlie

Just Saying Hi

We just wanted to say Hi. We are very sad we missed the Rexburg Temple Open House. We'd been looking forward to it for a very long time, but the weather decided to turn wintery on us. It snowed pretty much for 4 straight days here in Lovell, with a few clear skies off and on. Sandy took advantage of it though and stayed home with her girls, which doesn't happen very often. Mark and Shayla, we are praying for you and little Jay and hope things get better.

Family reunion??

Im just wondering when the next family reunion is. I would really like to drive out with my hubby and kids. I would love everyone to meet them.

Birthday list

Hey does any one have the "Birthday List" I would think Ivy would but she's not a blogger. Does anyone else have it? Linda

Spencer Aaron Hawley

Spencer Aaron Hawley (goes by Aaron) was born Jan 5, 2008. 8 lbs 11 oz 21 inches long. Looks like a Hawley to me!

Holidays at the spanier's

Well Christmas came and gone very quick for my family. Everyone came home this year it was awesome to see everyone. It was really cool that chris fianlly got to meet him nephew and niece. Logan is almost 2 kinda scary to think about. Ella is almost 3 months and its amazing to see how much further ahead she is then logan was. She is already trying to sit on her own and loves to stand. Logan is starting to learn his abc's and loves his little sister. Even though he bugs her a lot, she is the first person she seems to smile at in the morning. Brad has been out of work since november except when it snows so its been kinda hard living with almost 800 dollar rent with no money coming in. But he just found a job working in brooklyn center about an hour away. He'll be working at Luther Brookdale Chevi he'll go down in pay but not by much and he'll be getting more hours so were very blessed. Today was the first day Brad fasted with me so i was very happy. My testimony is growning more and more each day. For those of you who dont know I got a calling in church, I was called as Primary Nursery Leader so im so happy to be doing that. The little children in my class are so smart they make my testimony grow just by being in there. Their are 9 children in my class and they all are used to not sharing lol so its tough to teach them that. I have some activites im very excited to do with them. Well I better be off to bed, Before i got though these pics are of Ella with santa she just loved him, and the of logan being a cutie, and then the last one is of Brad and Ella sleeping (they do that a lot together hehehe)
