Swim Lessons

The kids had their last day of swim lessons today, they all did really well. Moke did not want to swim for his last class, but as soon as the teacher showed him the suckers she had got him he was ready to jump in. I think all the kids really enjoy swimming.
After swim lessons I ran the girls down to Salt Lake for their moccasins class. They have been going to classes which help show them how to make their whole regalia for fancy shawl dancing. They have finished their shawls and are now making moccasins. They really enjoy going to the class.

Moon

Eric loves to go out and look at the sky at night. This is the halo that you can see around the moon on some winter nights. I think it is pretty amazing. We love to take the kids out and have them look through the telescope and see the stars and all the other wonders of the night sky.

New Years

So we decided to go to Blanding for the new years party. We headed down on new years eve. Maxcene had reserved the church and so we ate dinner, played pictionary, and volleyball until midnight, we then went to the parking lot and lit some fireworks. It was a lot of fun. We had let each of the kids draw a cousin to buy a gift for and we opened those gifts on new years day.
We played lots of volleyball and just had fun while we were down there. We also had our white elephant gift exchange. It is great being with family, and I wish we all lived closer together so that we could get together more often.
I can't believe it is already 2009, time flies. My kids are growing up so fast, it is crazy to think that Navitt will soon be 12.
