Hunter Herald

^{February 2008}

-NEIL & MIKE- Danger danger!!!!!! all Hunters should come with a warning label. You are born with dangerous genes. Exercise, eat right and still take Vytorin or you'll end up like your cousin Trevor. 39 and having a heart attack!!! It's true folks. Trevor started having pain in his upper back last Weds. while at work in Sacramento and was rushed to the ER. After an angiogram they discovered that one artery was totally blocked and another was 50%. They put in 2 stints to open it back up. This procedure requires putting like a garden hose up your leg so you have to be careful for a couple of weeks after. He came home Sat. with the pain much decreased. We all immediately started to beef up our exercise and look at our diet for the last week. Uncle Neil went into to the hospital Friday for a 4 hour procedure to remove fluid from 4 cysts that he had. After removing a lot of gunk they sent him home with two little pouches hanging out of his guts to collect the rest. Maybe this is too graphic disgressionary reading is advised, although Cypress (6) and Tayla (4) were quite facinated. Valentine's day went well!!! Soooo Aloha!!! The "Oriental Trade "magazine has a large selection of leis so if you want to go that route, great! The water place, ( can't call it a lake) will be stocked with trout so bring all your gear and bait and remember no fishing license is required because it is privately stocked and privately owned. We may have a fishing contest and we may have fish for the luau, wouldn't that be heart healthy. Please, Please plan to arrive BEFORE 10:00 am on FRIDAY because that's when the festivites will begin and you don't want to miss out. We plan to leave camp by 3:00pm Sat. I sincerely hope everyone's February has not been as exciting as ours! Love Aunt Mike

-Rachel & Rob- The Fransens are doing well.  We are still trying to sell
our house in Fresno.  We don't want to start building a new house until
that one is gone so we still live in our mobile home.  It isn't bad but with
Elizabeth scooting and walking in her walker we are feeling crowded. 
She gets into everything.  She pulls her self up to standing by the
couch and walks along it.  She loves to pull things off of shelves, out
 of cupboards and drawers.  Since Dale is five we have had a break
from a baby-proof house so we are feeling the adjustment a little. 

My Dad just had surgery on the 19th.  The surgery went fine.  The
doctor will be keeping an eye on things to make sure there are no more
problems.  Well I guess that's all for this month.  I hope you are all
doing good. 

Love The Fransens

-Rebekah and Seth-Hello from Bakersfield.  The weather is lovely and
starting to warm up.  This last week we were in the high 60's low 70's. 
Too bad we go MUCH higher.  Oh well.  It is nice to feel a bit of spring.

 I wanted to let Beau know that Peyton very much enjoyed his
playing the guitar at family reunion so many years ago.  In fact he
enjoyed it so much that he has decided to take up the guitar too.  It
has only been a month of lessons but the practicing seems to make
him enjoy it more. 

Perhaps this year's reunion can inspire others to achieve or learn a
new talent too.

-Caleb & Ashley-

-Kara & Michael-The Nichols are keeping busy and doing great. Daniel won our pine wood derby contest so he will compete in the district pine wood derby in March. He is excited. The district pine wood derby is held at our Mall here in Twin Falls. It should be fun.
I am officially trained to be a cub scout leader now. I am glad to have those trainings over with. I had already done the training few years ago but that was in California and so I got to be trained again. Now I can be the best cub scout leader. hahaha
Mike is starting a MBA program at the beginning of March. I hope the classes go smoothly. He will be able to do some of his schoolwork during his spare time at work. I hope he has a lot of spare time during work but if not we will make due.
I think that is about all. We are planning to go to California over spring break. It will be nice to see green grass once again.
With love,
Kara and Family

-Hillary & Jason- Holy Cow is right!! February is over? You've got to be kidding me! I haven't updated in a while so I suppose I should make the announcement of the arrival of Maxwell Jacob Rogerson on December 21, 2007! WE GOT OUR BOY! He's adorable. It's a little surreal to have another male in the house but wonderful and he's doted on constantly by his four mothers.
Jason finished his undergrad this month and gets a GLORIOUS two month break from school. Hillary has once again been hired by the Shasta High School music department to be the assistant director to their annual spring musical which is: LES MISERABLES the school edition. It's a huge undertaking but she feels up to the challenge. Hunter is thriving in school and has even begun tutoring her fellow students in reading and also gets to read books to the entire class. Ellie is anxiously counting down to her fifth birthday (which isn't until October) when she'll get to go to school! She is mom's BIG helper and really loves taking care of Max. She has more patience for his crying than mom and dad do sometimes! Reese is talking more and more and more AND MORE.... Does this shock anyone that my children enjoy talking as much as breathing? Hunter and Reese both have March birthdays and will be turning 6 and 2 respectively.
We've been battling the flu over and over and over again and feel like it might finally be on it's way OUT!
We hope everyone is well and we are looking forward to this fantabulous Hawaiian bash in June! Loves to all!

-SHEILA & LYLE-How is everyone? We've had a little flu etc but no complaining after hearing about Neil, Layne and Trevor. We are praying for you guys and hope all is well. Please keep us posted. The rest of us Hunters need to take note, exercise and drugs. You knows it's true. Anyway...I think were going to Las Vegas this next week. We are looking forward to the Hawiian Hunter Reunion, and hope to see you all there. Not much else happening. Peace, love and sunshine, yes it was in the 40's today. It warming up in Utah. Keep Smiling,
We love you,
The Mortimers

-Jenna & Kevin- Hi Family! Life is good at the Brooke home now that everyone is over the flu! J Valentine’s Day was of course wonderful! Kevin is always good to me. Kevin decorated my car with red, pink and white balloons, streamers and paper hearts and then he painted love notes on my windows. Very embarrassing, but I did feel loved. Chloe is scooting! Why does time fly so quickly? Hunter just had his 10^th birthday! We went to see Spiderwick with his friend. We went to Priesthood Preview with Kaden last night! I can’t believe how time flies. We are hoping to make it to the reunion!!! Love, Jenna
