Olive's Baby Blessing

March 15, 2009

We blessed Olive yesterday and everything turned out so well. Eric gave the most beautiful blessing. We were so pleased that so many of our friends and family were able to make it. It turned out to be a great day.

I was determined to get a good family picture. Well, it didn't turn out as great as I was hoping. But at least we got something. Eva was and is still so sick of all the picture taking.

Mommy and Olive.

Daddy and Olive: Olive did so well and she even had a cold in her eye which came on the night before.

Grandma and Grandpa Gentry and the Hahn family were able to come from out of town. It was nice to have them there. Thanks for coming guys.

Olive at the end of the day. I think we all felt this way.

My Girls

I thought I'd post a few pictures of me with my girls. I am so lucky and blessed to have them.

SHE WILL BE MISSED

I am writing in remembrance of our dear friend, Tasche Stone. She passed away last week and our hearts are sad and heavy from the tragic loss of this special person. She is survived by her husband and our close friend, Keola Stone, and their 4 week old twin baby boys, Ikaika and Makakoa.

Tasche was a wonderful mother, adored wife and beautiful person. Eric and I had the privilege of knowing Tasche from when Keola and she were dating and honored to witness them be sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple. Though we did not get to know her as well as we wished we should have, she will always be in our hearts and remembered forever.

Due to the tragic and unexpected turn of events in Keola and the boy's lives, I will keep our friends and family posted on any ways that they may be willing and want to help. As mentioned in Tasche's obituary, there is a trust fund set up for the boys for future purposes. However, we are trying to start a fund that may be used for their immediate needs.

We love and miss you, Tasche.
