HAPPY EASTER

Here is wishing you all a Happy Easter from us all down under in NZ. We hope the true meaning of easter ring true in your hearts and we are thankful for the wonderful blessing that we receive each and every day. We pray that you all have the best Easter 2008 and go light on the chocolate. He, he.

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS

This morning Te Wairua told us he was going to get already for church. A few minutes later out he came. I have decided he is our captain underpants. He just does not like clothes and would be more than happy to go to church in his gumboots and undies.

THE JOYS OF PARENTING

We were suprised to turn around and find that our three year old Te Wairua had stopped singing at the top of his lungs. The scene was so funny we just had to take the photo. He fell asleep with the bandaid over his mouth and when he woke up to take a pee all we could hear was a muffled whimper.

We looked all over the house and could not find our pyjamas. Looks like two little gremlins got a hold of them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR. We hope that 2008 is the best one. We have a new year's suprise. We are expecting in June. Khali has an ultrasound next week and so we should know soon if it will be a boy or girl. Our New Years was spent with some latin friends dancing, watching fireworks and bringing the New Year in surrounding a bonfire. The next day we went to the beach and spent time fishing, swimming and enjoying time with family. We hope you all had a Happy New Year.

Love Dean, Khali and the boys

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE SNOWS

MERRY CHRISTMAS

This year has been a memorable one, full of changes and surprises. In March I proposed to Khali Alexander. The love of my life and we were married in the New Zealand Temple. It was great to have my whole family there, they all came for the wedding and were releived when I said yes at the alter. Also it was a big suprise to have my Aunt Bertha who is a young 92 years old show up. I wish you all could have been here for the big day but you will all have to come for a visit instead. In february I moved from Salt Lake to New Zealand and am currently teaching Spanish and working for local governement. With marriage came instant fatherhood since Khali already had two children. Te Wairua is 3 years old and Moronae just turned 5. In November Moronae started school and absoutely loves it. He has an incredible memory and has memorized most of his books and is coming along with his reading. Te Wairua started Kindergarten at the same time and this has helped to filter some of his non stop energy into learning. Heavenly Father has blessed him with the energy of 10 three year olds and thus our nickname for him is Little Rascal. Well more happened here but I will have to save it for another blog. We pray that your new year is great and full of fun.

Merry Christmas to all.

Love the Snows
