Happy Holidays!

Trace wanted you all to see the finished product. He decorated the tree all by himself, he also created the painting for all his Grandma's and Grandpa's! He loves you all and says, "Merry Christmas!" Qagasaakung for all the presents! Thats how you say thank you in Aleut. I am now the Aleut language teacher in class. He has learned how to say: Hello - Aung Aung, No-Kuuguu, Eye- Dax, Hand- Chax, Feet- Kitax, Listen-Tuutada and Sit-Ungachida. Guess which words he hears the most? (SMILE) Take care ya all! Isilik. (that means talk or see you again, they never say goodbye) Love Cherie

A Bears Fingernails compared to Mucks

Trace just wanted to measure how long his fingernails were compared to the Brown Bears next door. When Traces toenails skim your leg you would think that they were just as long as those claws! And yes the camera is back in action. Hallelujah! So we will keep taking pictures for your shear enjoyment.

King Cove Update!

Hey how is everyone doing? Here in KC the weather is really crazy. Wind blowing at at least 60 mph. and rain that has clogged the drains. Trace was a little worried this morning. As we were going to school the road was covered in water and the City was trying to un plug the drains. Trace thought that KC was going to be covered in water! Poor kid, all he wanted to do was go back to Utah. Right now things are alot dryer. The drains are fixed and Lars just cooked up some Caribou. Now that is some nice tasting vidles. The girls have there first home Basketball game on Tues. the 13 of December. Elyse is suprising us all with her talent and athetic capabilities. Neisha wishes that she was on the sidelines Cheering. She said that she is doing this sport just for the exercise of it! At least she will be fit and able to get away from the boys! Today Trace got to go to Santa's Secret Workshop and pick out a present for his family members. They had some nice items to choose from. He was pretty upset when he found out that the gifts went to his family instead of himself! He has also been practicing his part in the Local Church Christmas Play. He is a Shepherd and dang proud of it. He has one of his parts memorized and the second one dang close. "Christmas has come, greeting to you! Hope you enjoy Our program too." Heck after a cutie like that welcoming you, who wouldn't want to stay!
