Saint George Christmas 2010

Nathaniel Robert James Hill

Sorry, everyone! I told Orron and Irene I would publish pictures of Nathaniel, and I forgot!

Orron and Irene are pleased to announce the arrival of their new addition, Nathaniel Robert James Hill.

He was born on October 18, 2008. He was a bigun' at a whopping 8 pounds 11 ounces. He has blue eyes. He has hair (even though dad doesn't).

Updated Information!!

Hey Everyone!

I am working on the Christmas Cards and realized that I am completely out of sync with where everyone is. So, rather than attempt to look everyone up individually (because I am very lazy...) could you please send me your contact information?

I don't neccessarily want everyone to put their addresses on the internet, but if you could e-mail me (shahaikate at hotmail dot com) with your current contact information (anything you want to give: names, birthdays, anniversaries, addresses, phones, e-mails, blogs, etc), I will put together a spreadsheet. This should make sharing a bit easier. Then I can e-mail it to anyone interested!

Thanks!!!

I am embarrassed

Hope all is going well.

Beck's blessing

We loved having Bo & Grandpa up for Beck's blessing. Here's some cute pics of everyone with Beck in Boise. We miss everyone and wish we could be there for Dal's wedding, but we have a newborn excuse. :)

Easter in Nebraska

The Annual Easter Egg Hunt never fails to bring the family together, but before we get to it, here are Hailey and Katie in their Easter dresses. (I am still waiting for a pic of Elizabeth in hers.)



The Easter Bunny puts eggs all over the property. Here, Katie is finding eggs on the deck chairs. I don't know who has more fun - the kids or the grown-ups. Ron takes his role very seriously as the official fideographer (and honorary Easter Bunny).

Orron and Irene really enjoyed hunting eggs with Elizabeth this year. She didn't get the whole concept just yet, but it was fun to watch Orron and Irene with her!



Here, Katie and Ron are walking up from the pasture where they were hunting.

Same old story - every year - we can never seem to find all the eggs. We are still missing 6!

Coming soon: Wedding updates!!!

Valentine's Boxes and Cookies

We have set out boxes for each other so we can leave secret Valentines. Here is a pic of Samuel's box.

We also tried to do some heart- and star-shaped sugar cookies so we could give them out to our friends but they didn't really turn out so we decorated them together and we will enjoy them ourselves.

Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!

A tribute to the Gunnison chalet

Just wanted to thank everyone for the fun Christmas vacation we got to spend in St. George. Beni and I loved playing with our cousins Boy (Devon) and Morgan. We especially loved being able to visit the chalet one last time. I have so many fond memories of the "cabin" - watching Conference, playing hide-and-go seek and cards, reunions, riding on Grandpa's tractor, and just being with family. Thanks Bo and Grandpa for providing us with a fun place! We will miss Gunnison.
