Tupperware

I'm back! I am just so excited. A lot has happened in my life lately. I just became a Tupperware sales consultant. These are some bowls that I think are so pretty and very practical. I don't have my web site up and running yet. As soon as I do I will post it so everyone can have a look. I hope that this all goes well for me. I'm not sure if my husband is quite on board, he said he was but now I don't know if he is so sure. I think that I will do very well at it. I hope I do anyway. I just wanted something to do. Dan's work schedule has been hard for me to get used to and I spend a lot of time with the children or by myself. He works 12 hour days 6am to 6pm. One week he will work Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, and Sun. The next week he only works Wed and Thurs. Every night he goes to bed at like 8:30! Just enough time for him to shower, eat and then we put the kids to bed and he goes to bed. Then I am by myself for the rest of the night. I need some interaction!! With grown-ups!! I hope that this new venture will give me the outlet I need and the extra money never hurts either. I think it will be good. I cannot wait to go to Utah!! I miss everybody so much. I want to be there. Someday. Anyhow, I will try to find some pictures of the kids that are up to date. I have really not been a very good photographer lately. There will be tons from Utah, I promise!

Sorry Friends

This is Amanda, posting for Britt. Their internet is down for a while. She asked me to let you know that she loves and misses the blogging world. If you have anything you'd like to say to Britt, feel free to post on my blog. I talk to her "every now and then". Okay, everyday. Some days, for hours on end. Not that I miss her or anything! Come back to us soon, Britt!

The twins

It is really kind of funny
sometimes I get confused too. All of the people at church are totally confused. Dan is gone every other Sunday for work so I spend a lot of time with Dave. They never know which one is my husband.
Good Luck.

Husband Quiz

What is your husband's name? Daniel Roger Hanselmann , Dan has six brothers and sisters, all of the boys have their Father's first name as their middle name and all of the sisters have their Mother's first name as their middle name. Interesting huh? Nathan's middle name is Daniel, and Nora's middle name is Anne, which is my middle name.
How long have you been together? Or first date was August 23 of 2003, we were in the same ward growing up but have never dated or anything. He is 12 years older than me so we really never thought of dating. We were married on July 31, 2004. Sealed in the Nauvoo Temple on December 30, 2005.
Who said I love you first? I did, after two weeks of dating. I just knew. I was the first person Dan had ever dated so he was a little less sure of his feelings. It took him about a month to say it back, he wanted to be sure.
Who is smarter? Humm.. Well I think he is, although I am smarter in the kitchen.
Who does the housework?I do most of it. Dan is the laundry guru though. I do it sometimes but he is better at it than me.
Who sleeps on the right? We sleep in separate beds! Just kidding I guess I sleep on the right if we are in the bed.

Who pays the bills? He makes the money and he pays the bills. I hate money and would rather not have to decide where it needs to go every month. I can do it if I have to.
Who cooks dinner? I do, I love to cook. If I do ask him to make dinner we have frozen pizza.

Who drives when you are together? We switch, I let him drive a lot though because when I am driving he thinks he has to coach me, very annoying.

Who is more stubborn? He is... no question!
Who kissed who first? I gave him a kiss on the cheek after our first date. On our second date he said, "You want me to kiss you don't you?" I said yes. I though he was just going to give me a little kiss but he frenched me! I was very surprised.
Who asked out who first? Well I had invited him out to my house for dinner so he could fix my computer. When he left I wrote him an email saying that if he wanted to go on a date with me that he would have to ask me, and that I already did my part by letting him get his foot in the door. He asked me out the next day.
Who proposed? He did. He was supposed to propose a lot sooner than he did but he got really sick and almost died so it put the plans on hold for awhile. He did it on Thanksgiving, he still had a feeding tube in his nose but he was really cute and walked me down to a gazebo that was all decorated for Christmas. It was very romantic , despite the rubber hose in his nose!.
Who has more siblings? He does, three sisters an three brothers. He is an identical twin, cool huh? There is also another set of twins in his family. I have one sis and one bro.
Who wears the pants? Depends on the situation, I am in charge of all of the planning, I think we kind of share the pants. He is always trying to get into my pants!! HeeHee

My sister!

This is my sister, my only sister Amanda Lyn Mata. I sure do miss her. I think that this picture shows her in her true form. We will be going out to see them and Bartley's family at the begining of May. I can't wait! I love you Amanda! We're not friends, we're sisters!

Sick Babe

So I took Nora to the doctor yesterday. I found out why she was so grumpy at the photo shoot. She has a double ear infection, a sinus infection, and has to take nebulizer treatments for her lungs because she is wheezing!. Poor girl, I thought that maybe she was allergic to Duke and Lizzy G&G Caley's dogs but the Doc assured me that there is a 1% chance that she could be this young. I guess you don't start developing air-born allergies until you are 2 yrs +. So that is a good thing, especially since she loves the puppies. I have a busy week coming up. Dan's sister Karen is in town from Washington DC. On Friday our ward has our annual Iron Chef Competition, where the High Priest go up against the Elders Quarm. It is a really good time. Dan and I are on the activities committee together. I also just found out that there are five people due is our ward in September! I am also the compassionate service leader. That will be a busy month. What else... Oh Nathan my 2 1/2 year old is officially potty trained! His is doing so well. We have a little bit of a problem with the automatic flushing toilets but we are working on it. I usually put something in front of the red eye that is on them and then that way he is in charge of when it flushes. I just can't get over how quickly he picked it up. I am amazed everyday at how grown up he is. Well I think that is all for now. Sorry no picture.

Photo Shoot

Today we went to see Grandma and Grandpa Caley. We had a little photo shoot. Nora wasn't in a very good mood. She has another tooth coming in and has a little bit of a cold. Nathan is wearing Grandpa's old sailor suit. He was being a little bugger. We got very few shots without his hands in mouth. Nora is sporting a bikini and is pretending to be a flower. It is so great that we have family so close to use. I wish we could visit them more often. Thank you Sharon they look great.
