DOUBLE DIGITS Torran Turns 10_mixdown

Torran is officially in the double digits! 🎂 In this episode of We Are the Hansons, Myia shares the laughs, love, and little moments that made Torran’s 10th birthday special—from three good friends and chocolate cake to her favorite chicken, broccoli and rice bake, presents, an electric scooter, and a family movie night. It’s a reminder that the best childhood memories aren’t about perfect parties—they’re about feeling loved, celebrated, and surrounded by your people.

1
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:06.879
There are certain birthdays that just feel different. The first birthday,

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:13.599
the fifth birthday, the thirteenth birthday, the sixteenth birthday, the

3
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:19.679
eighteenth birthday, and then there is ten double digits, that

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.879
moment when your child looks at you and realizes that

5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.440
they are officially ten years old, and somehow, as their mom,

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.359
you're standing there wondering exactly how that happened, because I swear,

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.920
wasn't Torren just little? Wasn't I just carrying her around?

8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.320
Wasn't she just learning how to talk? And now suddenly

9
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.039
we're planning a birthday party for a ten year old

10
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.679
who knows exactly what she wants. And Torn definitely knew

11
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:54.079
what she wanted. She wanted her friends, she wanted games,

12
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.880
she wanted chocolate cake, and for her birthday dinner, chicken

13
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:06.760
broccoli and right bake, not pizza, not hamburgers, not tacos, chicken,

14
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.239
broccoli and rice bake. And you know what that's Torn,

15
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.719
She knows what she likes. So we gave our newly

16
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.200
minted ten year old exactly the kind of birthdays she wanted.

17
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.840
There were three friends, there were games, there were presents,

18
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.319
there was an electric scooter, there was money, There was

19
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.359
a doll and doll stuff. There was chocolate cake, and

20
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.760
when all the excitement finally started winding down, we ended

21
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.879
the night together with a movie. Nothing extravagant, nothing complicated,

22
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.519
just family, friends, food, laughter, and another memory added to

23
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.599
the story of our family. And sometimes those are the

24
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.079
birthdays you remember forever. I'm Maya. This is We Are

25
00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.400
the Hansens, and today we're celebrating Torn turning ten. Everybody,

26
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.599
welcome back to another episode of We Are the Hansens.

27
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.159
If you're new here, welcome to our family. We are

28
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.400
a big, loud, busy family with thirteen kids, and around

29
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.520
here there is pretty much always something happening. Sometimes it's

30
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.639
a big family adventure. Sometimes we're cooking, sometimes we're celebrating.

31
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:26.439
Sometimes we're laughing so hard that nobody can breathe. Sometimes

32
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.120
somebody can't find their shoes five minutes before we're supposed

33
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.759
to leave. And sometimes we're simply trying to survive another

34
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.479
normal day in a very big family. But that's exactly

35
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.199
why we started sharing these stories, because we've learned over

36
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.719
the years that the ordinary moments are usually the ones

37
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.159
that end up meaning the most, and today's episode is

38
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:54.280
definitely one of those our torn turned ten ten years old,

39
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.560
double digits, and I don't know why, but seeing that

40
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.159
out loud makes it feel even more real. When you're

41
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.960
raising kids, everybody tells you how fast it goes. When

42
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.039
they're babies and you're exhausted, people tell you, enjoy it.

43
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.719
It goes fast. When they're toddlers, enjoy it. It goes fast.

44
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.280
First day of school, it goes fast. And sometimes you think, okay, okay,

45
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.520
I get it. But then one day you're putting candles

46
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.759
on a chocolate cake for your child's tenth birthday and

47
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.680
you realize they were right. It really does go by fast.

48
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.960
Ten feels like such an interesting aid. They're still your

49
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.319
little kid, but they're also becoming their own person in

50
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.360
such a noticeable way. They have opinions, they have favorite things,

51
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.960
they have friendships that are important to them. They have

52
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.000
their own sense of humor. They know what foods they like,

53
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.000
they know what clothes they like, they know what they

54
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.680
want to do, and they definitely know what they don't

55
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.719
want to do. And that's something I've always loved about

56
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.800
watching our kids grow. When you have thirteen children, you

57
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.360
learn pretty quickly that there isn't one formula for raising

58
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.840
a child, they're all different, every single one. They can

59
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.400
grow up in the same house, eat at the same

60
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.279
dinner table, go on the same family trips, hear the

61
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.879
same family rules, and they still become completely different people,

62
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:30.519
different personalities, different interests, different strengths, different dreams. And I

63
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.360
think that's beautiful. As parents, Jeremy and I aren't trying

64
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.319
to create thirteen copies of the same person. We're raising

65
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:43.759
thirteen individuals, and Torren is torn. That's what makes celebrating

66
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.720
her birthday so special. This wasn't about creating some picture

67
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.399
perfect party. It was about celebrating her. And when we

68
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.680
started figuring out what she wanted for her birthday, Torren

69
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:01.560
had ideas the first important decision food. Now, if you

70
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.399
listen to this show regularly, you know that food is

71
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.360
basically a character in our family stories. Something is always cooking,

72
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.480
there's always somebody asking what's for dinner. There's always a

73
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.639
gathering where we're trying to figure out how much food

74
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.360
we're going to need. And when you have a family

75
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.279
our size, you don't make a tiny little casserole. You

76
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.560
make enough food to feed an army. Sometimes literally it

77
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.480
feels like an army. So I asked hoorm what she

78
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.000
wanted for her birthday dinner, and this girl chose chicken,

79
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.000
broccoli and rice bake, and I thought, okay, that's actually

80
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:47.240
a really good birthday dinner. Warm, cheesy, comforting, easy to

81
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:52.120
feed a group, and something she loves. Perfect. Then came

82
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.360
the cake, chocolate. There was no complicated debate there toorn

83
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:03.000
wanted chocolate cake, and honestly I respect that decision. Chocolate

84
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.639
cake is hard to beat. So the birthday menu was set.

85
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.279
Chicken broccoli and rice baked, chocolate cake and a house

86
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.800
full of people ready to celebrate. If you've ever hosted

87
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.680
a birthday party at your house, you know there's always

88
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.680
that period beforehand where you look around and suddenly notice

89
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.759
every single thing that needs to be done. Why is

90
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.839
that your house can look completely normal all week? Then

91
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.639
you realize people are coming over and suddenly you're like,

92
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.319
what is that sitting there? Who left this here? Why

93
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.000
are their shoes everywhere? Whose cup is this? Why is

94
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.879
there a blanket in the middle of the floor. And

95
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.279
in a family with thirteen kids, there's always evidence that

96
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.439
people actually live here because they do. This isn't a showroom,

97
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.680
it's our home. But we still want things picked up.

98
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.639
We want the food ready, we want the looking nice,

99
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.639
we want everything prepared so when people arrive, we're not

100
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.839
running around like crazy, well not too crazy anyway. So

101
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.439
we're getting everything ready. We're making sure Torren has what

102
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.519
she wants, We're preparing the food. And while I'm doing

103
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.240
all of this, I keep thinking about the fact that

104
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.160
she's ten, because birthdays do that to me. They make

105
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.879
me feel sentimental. Every year represents another chapter, and when

106
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.759
you're in the middle of parenting, sometimes you don't notice

107
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.720
the chapter's changing. There's no announcement, nobody says, attention, your

108
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.920
child has officially moved into the next stage of childhood.

109
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.399
It just happens. Their shoes get bigger, their clothes change,

110
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.480
the toys they used to play with disappear, the shows

111
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.959
they used to watch aren't interesting anymore. Their conversations change,

112
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.759
they start understanding jokes they didn't understand before, they become

113
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.480
more independent, and then one day you look at them

114
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:09.839
and realize how much they've changed. Ten years a whole decade.

115
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.759
Horn has been part of our lives for a decade.

116
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.240
That's incredible. One of the things Torn wanted most was

117
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.079
to have some friends over She had three friends come

118
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.959
over to celebrate with her, and if you've ever had

119
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.639
a group of ten year olds together, you already know

120
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.839
the energy level immediately goes up. One kid walks through

121
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:36.279
the door excitement, another arrives, more excitement. By the time

122
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.279
all three friends are there, the party has officially started.

123
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.559
There's something so fun about watching your kids with their friends.

124
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.279
As parents, we know one version of our children, but

125
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.559
then you watch them with their friends and you see

126
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.320
another little piece of their personality. The jokes, the giggling,

127
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.879
the games, they invent, things they think are absolutely hilarious

128
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.840
that make absolutely no sense to adults. And honestly, that's

129
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.200
exactly how it should be. They're kids. They should be laughing,

130
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:17.080
they should be playing, they should be making memories. And

131
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.919
that's what they did. They played a bunch of games.

132
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.519
One game would start, then another, then somebody would have

133
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.399
another idea, and off they would go. That's one thing

134
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.480
I love about this eight They can still entertain themselves.

135
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.559
Give kids a little freedom, some friends and a safe

136
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.360
place to play, and suddenly they've created their own little world.

137
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.360
There was laughter coming from one room, then footsteps, then

138
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.639
somebody yelling something, then more laughter and you just knew

139
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.960
they're having fun. As a mom, that's one of the

140
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.080
best sounds kids laughing in your house, because someday the

141
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.240
house gets quieter. That's another thing nobody really prepares you for.

142
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.240
When your kids are little, sometimes you dream about quiet.

143
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.720
You're thinking, can I please have five minutes where nobody

144
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.120
needs me? Can I go to the bathroom alone? Can

145
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:20.639
everyone stop yelling my name? Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom? And

146
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:25.960
then they grow, the house changes, schedules change. Some kids

147
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.840
are working, some kids are doing their own thing, some

148
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.759
have relationships, some are building lives, And suddenly those loud

149
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.879
moments become something you appreciate differently. So when I hear

150
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.200
Torn and her friends laughing and running around and playing games,

151
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.039
I'm not thinking about the noise. I'm thinking, remember this,

152
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.919
because this is childhood happening right in front of us. Eventually,

153
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.360
all that playing makes everybody hungry, and it was time

154
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:02.399
for Torren's birthday dinner. Chicken, broccoli, rice, all baked together

155
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:07.399
in that warm, comforting casserole. There's something about castrole food

156
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.840
that just feels like home, especially when you're feeding a

157
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.919
bunch of people. You put that big dish down and

158
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.279
everybody starts scooping out their portion. People are talking across

159
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.399
the table. Somebody needs a fork, somebody needs a drink,

160
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:27.000
someone wants more, someone is already asking when we're having cake.

161
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.919
That's family life, and there in the middle of it

162
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.120
is our birthday girl ten years old. I think food

163
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.919
has this incredible ability to anchor memories. Think about your

164
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.240
own childhood. You probably remember certain foods connected to certain people.

165
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.519
Maybe Grandma made a certain pie, maybe your dad grilled

166
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.440
something every summer. Maybe your mom had a casserole she

167
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.080
always made. Maybe there was a restaurant you went to

168
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:01.759
for birthdays. Those foods become more than food, They become

169
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.159
memories years from now. Or might make chicken, broccoli and

170
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.919
rice bake and remember her tenth birthday. She might smell

171
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.799
chocolate cake and remember sitting around with her friends. That's

172
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.000
why I love including recipes and food on this podcast.

173
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.320
Food is part of our family's story. Not fancy food,

174
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:26.360
not perfect food, family food. Food that fills people up,

175
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.440
food that brings people to the table, food that says,

176
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.120
come sit down, stay awhile, tell me what's going on.

177
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.519
And birthday dinner was exactly that. Then came one of

178
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:44.200
the most important parts of any birthday cake, chocolate cake.

179
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:49.919
The candles go in, everybody gathers around, someone turns the

180
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:56.080
lights down, and there she is torn. Ten candles, ten years.

181
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.840
Everyone starts singing Happy birthday to you, and for those

182
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.919
few seconds, the whole room is focused on one person.

183
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:09.120
That's something I love about birthdays. For one moment, we

184
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.440
get to tell someone today, we're celebrating you. We're glad

185
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.080
you're here, We're glad you're part of this family. You matter.

186
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.159
I watched Horn sitting there with that cake and thought

187
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.159
about ten years of memories, ten years of hugs, ten

188
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:29.120
years of laughter, ten years of growing, ten years of learning,

189
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.360
ten years of being her mom. There are difficult days

190
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.919
in parenting, of course, there are. There are days when

191
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.840
you're tired, days when you're frustrated, days when everyone seems

192
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.519
to need something at the exact same time. But birthdays

193
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.840
remind you of the bigger picture. What a privilege it

194
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.039
is to watch a human being grow. We get to

195
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.120
know them from the beginning, we get to watch them

196
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.759
become themselves, and I think that's one of the greatest

197
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.720
in life. Then Torren blew out her candles and everybody

198
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:10.559
knows what comes next. Chocolate cake. Now everybody is happy.

199
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.279
Then it was time for presents, and Torren got some

200
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:20.000
pretty exciting things. First, an electric scooter at ten years old.

201
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.360
That's a big gift. You could see the excitement. An

202
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.600
electric scooter means freedom, it means adventure, it means going

203
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.360
outside and riding around. And it also means mom is

204
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.799
probably going to say be careful approximately four hundred times,

205
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.879
because that's what moms do. You can be forty years

206
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.519
old and your mother will still tell you to be careful.

207
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.840
It's basically built into us. She also got money, and

208
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.720
money is always exciting at that age because now you

209
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.840
get to decide what you want. Do you spend it immediately?

210
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.879
Do you save it? Do you start calculating what you

211
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.960
can buy? It's fun watching kids learn that. She also

212
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.679
got a doll and doll stuff. And I love that

213
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.919
because ten is that wonderful age where you're getting bigger,

214
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.279
but you're still kids. There's plenty of time to grow up.

215
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.399
There's plenty of time for adult responsibilities. There's plenty of

216
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.360
time for bills and work and schedules and all the

217
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:30.440
things that come later. Right now, play with the doll,

218
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.720
ride the scooter, Laugh, with your friends, eat chocolate cake,

219
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.519
be ten. I wish we could protect that feeling forever.

220
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.279
I think as parents we sometimes put way too much

221
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.799
pressure on ourselves when it comes to birthdays. Especially now

222
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:55.279
you open social media and see these unbelievable parties, huge decorations,

223
00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:01.279
balloon arches, perfect desserts, custom everything, and those parties are

224
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.679
wonderful if that's what somebody wants to do. But you

225
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.480
don't need any of that to make your child feel loved.

226
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.440
Your child isn't going to measure their childhood by whether

227
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.240
every birthday look like something out of a magazine. They're

228
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.879
going to remember how it felt. Did people show up,

229
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.960
did people laugh? Did mom make my favorite dinner? Did

230
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.600
I get to invite my friends? Did everyone sing to me?

231
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.320
Did we play? Did we sit together? Did I feel important?

232
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.879
That's the stuff, and that's what Torren's birthday was. It

233
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:43.960
was simple, it was comfortable, It was us. Her friends came,

234
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.159
her family celebrated her, She got gifts she loved, She

235
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.200
ate the food she requested, she had her chocolate cake,

236
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.840
and she spent the day surrounded by people who love her.

237
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.320
What else do you really need in a big family?

238
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:05.640
Are special with thirteen kids, there are a lot of birthdays.

239
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.720
There are a lot of celebrations, a lot of cakes,

240
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.279
a lot of candles, a lot of presents, a lot

241
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.519
of happy birthday songs. And every birthday reminds us how

242
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.079
much our family has changed over the years. There was

243
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.680
a time when Jeremy and I were younger parents trying

244
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:29.160
to figure everything out. Then more kids came, Then more

245
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:34.759
and more our family grew. Our table got bigger, our

246
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:40.359
grocery bill definitely got bigger, our calendar got crazier, our

247
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.559
hearts got fuller, and over the years we've created traditions

248
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:49.839
without even realizing they were traditions. Cooking together, gathering around

249
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:57.400
the table, birthday dinners, cake games, movies, just being together.

250
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.680
That's our family culture, and it's something Jeremy and I

251
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.920
have always wanted. We want our kids to grow up

252
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.680
knowing that family is a place you can come back to.

253
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.160
You can go build your life, you can chase your dreams,

254
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.400
you can grow, you can become independent. But this table,

255
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.960
there's still a seat for you, this house. You're still welcome,

256
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:27.920
this family, You're still part of it. And I think

257
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.799
birthdays reinforce that no matter how old you get we

258
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:36.559
celebrate you. Something else I appreciated about Torren's birthday was

259
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:43.039
watching her friendships. Three friends, not fifty people, not some

260
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:48.759
enormous event, three kids she wanted there. Sometimes smaller gatherings

261
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.119
are the best. They actually get to spend time together.

262
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:58.039
They play, they talk, they laugh. Everybody gets lost in

263
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:03.079
a crowd gets lost in a crowd. And these kids

264
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.480
had fun. They played game after game, and there were

265
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.279
those moments where you could hear them laughing and think,

266
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.440
what in the world are they doing? But you don't

267
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:19.400
even need to know. They're having fun. That's enough. Those

268
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.160
little friendships matter so much when you're ten, friends are

269
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.400
becoming part of your world in a different way. You're

270
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.559
discovering who you connect with. You're learning how to be

271
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:38.279
a friend. You're learning about disagreements, compromise, sharing, kindness, boundaries,

272
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:43.200
and belonging. Those relationships are teaching new things you don't

273
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:47.039
even realize you're learning. As a parent, you hope your

274
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.440
children find people who are kind to them, people who

275
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.880
let them be themselves, people they can laugh with, and

276
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:56.960
you hope they learn to be that kind of a

277
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.160
friend in return. Okay, we have to talk a little

278
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.839
bit more about the electric scooter, because this was definitely

279
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.960
one of the exciting presents when you're ten. An electric

280
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:14.079
scooter isn't just transportation, it's basically a vehicle. In your mind,

281
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:20.039
you're thinking, I have arrived, you're cruising. You've got places

282
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.240
to go, important ten year old business to conduct, and

283
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:30.000
meanwhile mom is watching like helmet, slow down, watch where

284
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:36.759
you're going, don't do anything crazy, stay away from the road. Careful, careful.

285
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:43.400
That's parenting. Your child sees adventure. You see seventeen possible ways.

286
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.319
This adventure could end with a trip somewhere you don't

287
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.880
want to go. But you also know you have to

288
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:53.759
let them grow. That's the balance. You protect them while

289
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.640
giving them space. You teach them safety while letting them

290
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:04.240
experience things them roots. Then slowly you start giving them

291
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:10.519
wins or in Torran's case, wheels. Birthdays also make me

292
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.640
think about motherhood. Every child teaches you something different about

293
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.839
being a mom. You think you understand parenting, and then

294
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:24.240
another child comes along and says, actually, we're doing things

295
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:28.640
differently over here, and you adapt. That's one of the

296
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:33.000
biggest lessons I've learned raising thirteen children. Parent the child

297
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.119
you have, not the child the book says you should

298
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:39.680
have not the child. Social media says you should have

299
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.519
not the child. Someone else thinks you should have the

300
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.039
actual human being standing in front of you. Some kids

301
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:52.519
need encouragement, some need structure, some need extra patience. Some

302
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:59.440
are naturally independent, somewhat reassurance, some talk constantly. Some need

303
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.519
time before they'll tell you what's wrong. Parenting isn't one

304
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.759
size fits all. And Torn has taught me things. He's

305
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:13.279
made me laugh, she's tested me, she surprised me, she's

306
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.920
made me proud. And for ten years I've had the

307
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:22.039
privilege of being her mom. That's worth celebrating too. Eventually,

308
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.079
the energy started coming down. The games had been played,

309
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.599
dinner had been eaten, chocolate cake had been eaten, presents

310
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.680
had been opened, the excitement of the day had filled

311
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.079
the house, and we ended the night with a movie. Honestly,

312
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.799
it was the perfect ending. There is something cozy about

313
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:47.559
everybody settling down after a busy day. Lights lower, people

314
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:53.680
find their spots, blankets come out, everybody relaxes. The house

315
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.559
that was full of running and laughing becomes quiet, and

316
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.640
we watched a movie together. Sound like the least exciting

317
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:05.920
part of the birthday, but I loved it because sometimes

318
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.880
the best part of celebration is the moment after everything

319
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:14.279
slows down. You're sitting there thinking about the day. Everyone

320
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:19.400
is tired, everyone is content, and you realize that was

321
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.240
a really good day. Nothing needed to be bigger, nothing

322
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:28.759
needed to be different. Towarren was happy. Her friends had fun,

323
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:33.119
we had good food, we had cake, we had laughter,

324
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:40.240
we had family. That's enough, more than enough, Tarren. Someday

325
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:43.039
you might listen to this episode when you're much older.

326
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:48.960
Maybe you'll be fifteen, maybe twenty, maybe thirty. Maybe you'll

327
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.880
have kids of your own someday and suddenly understand why

328
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.599
your mom got emotional about you turning ten. So there

329
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.960
are a few things I want you to know. You

330
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.400
don't have to rush. Being old will come soon enough.

331
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:09.279
Enjoy being ten. Play, laugh, ride your scooter, play with

332
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:14.839
your dolls, hang out with your friends, watch movies, be silly,

333
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.799
ask questions, learn things, make mistakes, try again. You don't

334
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.279
have to have everything figured out. You don't have to

335
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.759
know exactly who you're going to become. You're still becoming

336
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:34.440
her and whoever you become. I hope you're kind, I

337
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:37.599
hope you're brave. I hope you stand up for yourself.

338
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.880
I hope you stand up for people who need someone

339
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.000
beside them. I hope you work hard. I hope you

340
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.440
understand the value of family. I hope you know that

341
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.400
success isn't measured by how much stuff you own. It's

342
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.680
measured by the life you build, the people you love,

343
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.839
the people who love you, the way you treat others,

344
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.599
the memories you create, and the person you are when

345
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:09.319
nobody is watching. Most importantly, I hope you always know

346
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.160
how loved you are, not because of what you accomplish,

347
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.839
not because of grades, not because of trophies, not because

348
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:21.240
of anything you can give us your love because you're

349
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:27.640
torrn are torn, and nothing changes that. Happy tenth birthday, sweetheart.

350
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.519
Before we finish today's episode, you know I have to

351
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:34.799
leave you with something good to eat, and since this

352
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:39.880
episode is all about birthdays, family gatherings, and easy comfort food,

353
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.200
I wanted to give you something incredibly simple that kids

354
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:47.640
can help make. We're making easy chocolate cake batter dip.

355
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.799
This is great for birthday parties, movie nights, family gatherings,

356
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.799
or those evenings when everybody wants something sweet but you

357
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:01.279
don't want to spend forever in the kitchen. Need one

358
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:06.359
box chocolate cake mix, one eight ounce block of cream

359
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:12.920
cheese softened, one container whipped topping, about a third cup milk,

360
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:21.319
mini chocolate chips, cram crackers, vanilla wafers, strawberries or pretzels

361
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.680
for dipping. How to make it first, because raw flour

362
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:29.920
and cake mix shouldn't be eaten on treat it. Spread

363
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.920
your dry cake mix on a baking sheet and heat

364
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.240
treat it in the oven at three hundred and fifty

365
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:40.319
degrees fahrenheit until the mix reaches one hundred and sixty

366
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:45.319
five degrees fahrenheit. Let it cool completely. Then take your

367
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.880
softened cream cheese and beat it until it's nice and smooth.

368
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.839
Slowly mix in the cool chocolate cake mix. Add your

369
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.000
milk a little at a thyme until you've got a thick,

370
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:03.680
creamy dip. Then fold in your whipped topping. Once everything

371
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.960
is combined, sprinkle many chocolate chips over the top. Put

372
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:12.920
it in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes, then serve

373
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:20.559
it with whatever your family likes, gram crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, strawberries.

374
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:24.759
You can even put several different options around the bowl

375
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:30.400
and make a little dessert board. It's easy, it's inexpensive,

376
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:36.279
the kids can help, and most importantly, it's chocolate. So

377
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.400
there's that. As I sat here thinking about Torren's birthday

378
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.680
after everyone had settled down, I kept coming back to

379
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:47.599
one thought, these are the days we're going to mess

380
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.680
not because life won't continue to be wonderful. It will.

381
00:27:52.279 --> 00:28:01.720
There are so many good chapters ahead. There will be graduations, jobs, relationships, grandchildren,

382
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.480
new adventures, new traditions. Our family story will keep growing.

383
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.400
But this exact version of our family, it only exists

384
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:16.880
right now. Turm will only turn ten once, her friends

385
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:20.480
will only be this age once. That chocolate cake will

386
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:24.440
only have those ten candles once. That's why I'm trying

387
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:30.000
harder to appreciate these moments while they're happening, not just afterward,

388
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.119
because life doesn't always announce which moments are going to

389
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:38.839
become precious memories. Sometimes it's obvious a wedding, a birth,

390
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:44.759
a graduation, and sometimes it's four ten year olds playing games.

391
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.559
It's chicken, broccoli and rice bakes sitting on the table.

392
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:53.359
It's chocolate cake crumbs on plates, it's wrapping paper on

393
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.720
the floor, it's a brand new electric scooter. Waiting to

394
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.160
be ridden. It's a doll sitting beside a little girl

395
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.480
who is growing faster than her mom would like. It's

396
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.559
everyone settling down to watch a movie after a long day,

397
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.880
and you don't realize until later that was the good stuff. Actually,

398
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:16.720
that was the great stuff. If you're listening today and

399
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:20.079
you're raising kids, I want to remind you of something

400
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:24.119
I've had to remind myself many times. You don't have

401
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:27.839
to create a perfect childhood. You couldn't even if you tried.

402
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:31.400
You're going to have bad days. Your kids are going

403
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:35.880
to have bad days. Sometimes dinner will burn, sometimes the

404
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:40.279
house will be messy. Sometimes birthdays won't go exactly according

405
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:45.559
to plan. Sometimes vacations will have problems. Sometimes you'll lose

406
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:51.440
your patience. Sometimes your kids will lose theirs. That's life.

407
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.960
But you can create a childhood filled with love. You

408
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.559
can make your home a place where people know they belong.

409
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:01.119
You can celebrate them, you can sit at the table,

410
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:05.680
you can listen, you can laugh, you can apologize when

411
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:09.519
you're wrong, you can show up, and you can make

412
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:15.079
ordinary days matter. Our kids don't need perfection, they need connection,

413
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.119
and that's what I want. We are the hansens to

414
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.799
always represent We're not showing you a perfect family, because

415
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.839
one doesn't exist. We're sharing a real one, a big

416
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:31.759
one and sometimes chaotic one. A family that laughs, a

417
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:37.200
family that argues, a family that eats a lot, a

418
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.000
family that celebrates, a family that keeps showing up for

419
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.960
each other. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. So

420
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:50.440
here we are ten years old, double digits, Jearn. I

421
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.880
hope your tenth birthday is one of those memories that

422
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.039
stays somewhere in your heart. Maybe you won't remember every present,

423
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:01.480
maybe you won't remember every game. Maybe someday you won't

424
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:05.240
even remember exactly what movie we watched, But I hope

425
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:08.839
you remember the feeling. Your friends came because they wanted

426
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:13.200
to celebrate you. Your family gathered because we love you.

427
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:16.680
You picked your favorite dinner, you got your chocolate cake,

428
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.680
You opened an electric scooter, you got money, you got

429
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:25.920
your doll and doll stuff, You played games, you laughed,

430
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.000
You ended the night watching a movie, and your mom

431
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.200
sat there wondering how did ten years go by so fast?

432
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.240
Happy birthday, Torrent. We love you more than you could

433
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.039
ever understand, and we're so excited to see what this

434
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.640
next year brings, but don't grow up too fast. Okay,

435
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.359
mom isn't ready. And that is where we're going to

436
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:54.039
end today's episode of We Are the Hansense. A chocolate cake, chicken,

437
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:57.920
broccoli and rice bake, three friends, a bunch of games,

438
00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:04.000
an electric scooter, a doll, a movie, one very love

439
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.400
ten year old. It wasn't about throwing the biggest party,

440
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.200
it wasn't about making everything perfect. It was about celebrating

441
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:16.680
Torrent and we did. It was a wonderful day. There's

442
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.640
one thing I hope you take away from today's episode.

443
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:25.720
It's this celebrate the ordinary. Take the pictures, make the cake,

444
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:31.960
cook their favorite dinner, Invite the friends, play games, sit

445
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:34.880
down for a movie. Because one day you'll look back

446
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.480
and realize those weren't ordinary moments at all. They were

447
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:42.720
your family's story and were incredibly thankful that you allow

448
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:44.799

465

of the day, family isn't about having a perfect life.

466
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.480
It's about having people to share the imperfect one with him.

467
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:03.920
Maya this is We are the Hansens.
