Trick or Treat!

Max and Ethan had fun trick or treating this year. Max burnt our pretty quick, but both Ethan and Max thought it was pretty awesome to get lots of candy. Halle zonked out, but looked really cute anyhow. We only have a few pictures but here they are.

You Are The Sun

Hey everyone, we just finished up this video for one of the songs that will be on my new album, you should all check it out.  We just snuck into this empty train car and shot it a couple weeks ago.  Anyway, enjoy, I miss you all.

Photos from a Hanks family backyard get-together in May 2011

Hey everyone, it's Sara. Thought I would share these photos as well, since I had them on my computer. I created a private FB album only visible to you guys. It's mostly photos of Max on the trampoline; he was having so much fun, I wanted to grab a few shots (I just uploaded all the photos I had, so a lot of them look the same). There are a few with Jordan and Bethany near the end of the album too. Here's the link:

Sara's trip to Maine - July 2011

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share some pictures from my trip to Maine in July; I went for work, but had a few days to be a tourist and enjoy myself.

Here's a pic from my visit to Acadia Nat'l Park

And look--a real lighthouse! 

I put up more photos in a FB album--click on this link for the rest:

I got some really great shots of the monuments and Arlington. =)

I know Mom, Dad, Bethany & Jordan went on a trip to the east coast in July too...bet they got some great photos. It was a good summer!

just to spice things up a bit

Eli and Cathy's 4th of July celebrations

We had a LONG day, filled with fun. We started off with a pancake breakfast and bike parade at the church. Then we visited the Peterson side of our family mid-day. And in the evening we went to a multi-family bbq with lots of food, water play and fireworks! It just doesn't quite sound as long as it really felt, but it sure wore us out. Here are some of our pics! These pics are also on my facebook, but these are the best :) We're looking forward to seeing yours too!

Pictures from April-May 2011

Found some pictures from April-May 2011. Enjoy!

Weekend in Sunriver, OR

Hey everyone, just wanted to share that we spent last weekend in Sunriver, OR with Ryan's family. It was a great weather weekend, so we took our bikes and dogs and took advantage of it all. On Saturday I ran the 1/2 marathon (in 2:09:30!!)--Ryan rode his bike and cheered me on the whole way =). He must have ridden at least 20 miles that day; I had a great support team out there. I'll post pics of us from that day if I can find any. Ryan and I also walked the 5k on Sunday with the rest of the fam (note the lovely tie-dye shirts that were the 'family team' uniforms); we did get a nice picture of the two of us out of the deal though.

It was also nice to spend time with the family. And Brayden is getting so big! Almost 7 months old now.

Dogs chillin' after long walks...

It was a good weekend. =)

Eli MADE a hiking backpack.

He didn't want me to take pictures so I didn't get too many but I did get one of the final product. He would never have thought he'd be sewing, but he's quite the natural. Ultra light weight, and waterproof. He's proud of his handiwork. He spent about the past week and a half putting it together and gets to try it out tonight.

Ethan's 6th Bday!

Ethan turned 6 on Wednesday and he had his party today. It turned out pretty small but he loved having his friends there. I can't believe that our little boy is growing up so fast. We're sorry that everyone couldn't be there. He truly loves his family and he knows that you love him too. Here are some pictures from the festivities. Happy Birthday Ethan!

All about the music

Hey everybody, me (Seth) and Jesse just got back from the Sasquatch music festival in Washington.  It was great, we saw a bunch of bands....Modest Mouse, Wilco, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, Local Natives, The Flaming Lips, The Decemberists, Bassnectar, Noah and the Whale, Beach House, Chromeo...just to name a few.  The trip was a success, we camped out with some Canadians, ate some great Thai food on the road, and lived off of bagels and granola bars to avoid having to pay $9 for a footlong hotdog. Hope you enjoy the photos.
