Merry Christmas and Happy 2010

Aloha...Mele Kalikimaka (Hawaiian for Merry Christmas with love!)
Lots of blessings this past year...Bob and I are healthy, the kids are all healthy, happy and involved in successful lives. We are grateful that our four beautiful grandchildren, Caylyn (14), Evan (10), Mark (5) and Jacob 1 1/2) have parents (Mitch and Julie), uncles (Patrick , Ty and Taeven) and aunts (Michelle, Summer and Sheri) that all love them ,care for them and teach them what is right.

Big news: Mitch and Julie moved into their new home Feb 2009 and recently opened Springfield Academy for pre-school and grammr school students. Check out the details at www.springfield-academy.org
Michelle is writing a column for the AZ Bee Hive LDS Newsletter and she and Taeven are moving to Idaho in April for more school. Winnie and the three kitties keep them company and they are currently still in Mesa.
Patrick and Sheri live in Chandler AZ. Patrick owns an electronics business, Sheri is a manager for an upscale optical company and they enjoy all the nieces and nephews, plus their two cute puppies.
Summer has her own real estate appraisal business in the Denver area and just bought her first home, a new red Jeep and loves snowboarding. Her puppies, Basil and Reggie are spoiled and that works.
Tyson lives in Santa Ana and would love to have a yard with doggies ...maybe soon. He has his own internet business and might be returning to school.
Our sweet Cathy, Bob's sister, was lost to cancer this past November. We are grateful to have been able to visit her several times in El Paso and had hoped to be able to bring her to Hawaii. We will all miss Cathy; and her generous spirit and pretty smile lives on.
