Happy Holidays!

States Family Card

We have so much to be grateful for this Holiday Season! We couldn’t possibly list them all in a letter, but on the top of that list would be that we are grateful for the birth, life and atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Here’s a little update on each of us:

Cameron now works from home and loves it! He is employed by Traders Edge Network as a Coach! We are blessed to be a part of this company! Cameron also has a calling in our church as the Priest Advisor in the Young Mens Program. He is looking forward to lots of snow this winter so he and his brothers can continue to build and “hit” their own drop and kicker in the backyard!

Alicia is pregnant with baby #3 and is due the first week in May 2011! She is still taking pictures when she feels like it, and being a MaryKay Beauty Consultant has been put on hold for now. She is improving her cooking/homemaking skills, and loves being home with her boys!

Malu and Ty are living with us (again!) and have been since August 2009.

Malu, 17, has his first “real” job working at the local Wendy’s! He also enjoys spending time at the local Recreational Center lifting weights and improving his physique.

Ty, 15, is on the American Fork 9th grade basketball team and pretty much “tears it up” with his speed and hard work! He is also in Orchestra playing the violin, and Choir where he has a solo.

Makoa will be 4 on Dec 28! He is a ball of brilliance and energy! He thinks he is one of the big boys and loves doing whatever they are doing (whenever they let him, that is!). He is quite the comedian which, apparently runs in the States blood. Makoa loves anything Star Wars, and like his dad, thinks he is a Jedi. J Makoa is a really great older brother and seems excited to have another brother or sister in May!

Ezekiel “Ka’imi” is 2 and is (go figure) as silly as the rest of them! He has finally decided to start talking and now we can hardly get him to stop! He loves all things lightsabers, dinosaurs, cars horses, Disney Pixar and DreamWorks Animation. He definitely “holds his own” around here with all the other big boys around! He seems less and less our baby everyday, and more and more a kid.

Our family blog is at StatesOhana.blogspot.com – please let Alicia know if you cannot view it, she will send you an “invitation” through Blogger.

We are glad you are in our lives and wish you an incredible 2011!
