Indian names

My kids & I got our Indian names over the weekend. My dad & Amy came up for the ceremony/Sundance. They got here Thursday. On Friday I had a meeting & the kids had their last day of Vacation Bible School. Then the kids & my dad had hair cuts. We drove over to Wolf Point to give our Chief tobacco & yd of red cloth & ask for a name. Saturday I had CPR training. When I got home we decided to drive to Williston. On our drive home we stopped off at Sundheim park & went over the bridge & through the tunnel!!





Sunday all of us (Neil, me, the kids, my dad, & Amy) went to Wolf Point for the Sundance Lodge Ceremonies. Jessica said she LOVES this culture!! It was a traditional sweat/healing/naming ceremony. My name is Two Eagles Woman. Jessica's name is Little Blue Grass Girl. Nathan's name is Grizzly Bear Foot.

Today dad & Amy left for home. Neil got up & went to work. Jess started swim lessons. And Nathan is doing a 3-day wrestling camp. Tonight both kids have baseball/softball games.

EASTER

Over Easter weekend we went to Idaho!!  While we were there Jessica & Brynn were baptised.   I had prepared a talk & was so nervous about that, that I forget my camera.  But we did walk the kids downtown to see the Easter Bunny!! 

I'm slacking...again :(

I've let this blog go down the hill. It seems I'm doing "other things" in my "spare" time than blogging. hehe I just need to do better!! Nathan had a good wrestling season. We traveled to Baker 2/19, Glasgow 2/26, Williston 3/5, and Great Falls the weekend of Jessica's birthday 3/11,12,13 for state, and finished in Wolf Point 3/19.

Jessica turned '8' this year. I can hardly believe it. My baby girl is getting so BIG!! For her bday she wanted the same thing as last year - to go to a hotel w/ a pool & swim. So, same as last year, we killed 2 birds w/ one stone. We went to Great Falls. Nathan wrestled GREAT! He lost his 1st match Saturday & then won his next 3. That took him to whatever is before semi-finals. He made it the 2nd day, which is AWESOME!! Jessica was able to bring along a friend Alexa. We all enjoyed our weekend away.

This weekend Jessica has a dance competition. She will dance 2 jazz dances.

In a week or two soccer starts. Both kids are excited & really enjoy playing! They wished they could be on the same team.

Jessica will be getting baptised Easter weekend in Malad, Idaho!! She is so anxious for that day to get here!! My brother will be baptising both Jess & his daughter Brynn 4/23.

I haven't been taking pictures like I should be.
