Eric's Birthday

well for Eric's birthday we were all sick with the flu. I had a family party for him on the Sunday before his birthday. We got him a wave board and some jeans. He loves to ride his wave board, and he is getting pretty good at it. He is know 35 years old, where does the time go.

Mokesaut Birthday

Mokesaut celebrated his 3rd birthday in Feb. I can't believe he is already 3. He was very excited for his birthday. He loved opening his gifts and having cake. He got a lot of cars from the movie cars. He also got a scooter, which he loves to ride.

Moienah's blessing

Moienah was blessed on Feb. 3, 2008. It was a beautiful blessing given by Eric. There was a huge snowstorm that day so we weren't sure that everyone was going to make it to the chapel on time, but we were lucky and everyone did. Her Aunt Jennifer made her blessing dress which was beautiful. We are so lucky to be blessed with 6 wonderful children.

Navitt's Birthday

Navitt turned 11 today Feb. 12. I can hardly believe that he is this old. It seems like yesterday I was having him. For his birthday we gave him a wave board, the first book of Leven Thumps, and a transformer. Grandma Long gave him a transformer also, the Prince family gave him a book also. He got to go to his first 11 year old scout meeting on his birthday.

In Loving Memory of Mark

On Feb. 6 I received a phone call from my sister telling me that my brother Mark (41) had died. I was in shock. He had open heart surgery on Nov. 6 and had been in the hospital since then. He was put in a rehab center about one week before he died. It is hard to imagine him gone. We hope that his wife Louise and her two children James and Veronica will know that we love them. The funeral was on Monday Feb. 11. It was a very nice ceremony. I will miss my dear brother and the times we had talking. Most of the family was able to be there. It was nice to have the nieces and nephews all together playing.
My sister Michele died last April and now 10 months later my brother Mark has joined her. We will miss them both very much.

Basketball

Maheone, Nikanahan, and Hatosh all played basketball this past season. They loved playing. Nika was the only girl on her team. Maheone's team took the championship for her age group. The championship game was very intense and exciting. The girls were in Jr. Jazz and Hatosh was a Jr. Dart.

Swim Lessons

The kids start their next series of swim lessons next week. They finished their first class in December. They loved taking the classes and are doing very well. The very last class, the pool turned on the waves and let the kids play in the wave pool, the kids had a blast.
