HAPPY BIRTHDAT @ 64

Aloha! Sorry for the sideways picture. Don't know how to make it rightside up. Anyway, see this pretty flower lei? It came from Hawaii. Thought I would treat myself. Wore it to church Sunday. My birthday was April 17th, Friday. As the years add on, I feel it. But I must be doing something right - people keep telling me I look young. Next year I will be 65 yrs old - Medicare here I come! Had a wonderful day celebrating with dinner out.

WOMENS CONFERENCE IN MAY 2009

Dee and I went to Womens Conference in May 2009. We always have fun. This is our tradition each year. I am going to try come up next year for this event from Hawaii! We both learn alot from the workshops that we attend and the humanatarian work we do. Sister power!!!

EXPLORING PROVO CANYON, UTAH

This was the day we took my mother to explore Provo Canyon. We came upon Myrtle Park. We were by the children's play area and mom by the little lake where little ones can fish. This was nice and peaceful and mom enjoyed it. Mom came out from California to help me pack some of our things to get ready to move to Hawaii. She was a big help and we had a good visit. Thanks, mom!

GRATITUDE

I want to send my aloha for those who lifted my spirits during the ordeal in LV. First to Dee and Vince who stood by me all 9 days! I love them both dearly. To Carol and Alex Johnson who was passing thru and stopped in at the ER to give support. They came again on their way back to Utah. Oh how they made me laugh and cry. Glenda Savage, my friend in Vegas, came to the hospital twice. She and Frank came to the ER and Frank assisted in a priesthood blessing with Damon and Vince. Oh, what comfort I have in knowing we have a forever marriage! My faith keeps me going. Love to all

LAS VEGAS ORDEAL

Well, on our way to my mom's luau Saturday, 4/11/09, we stopped in Las Vegas for overnite to continue to Sylmar the following day. Lo and behold, Cass goes into a couple of seizures. This was his first and the ambulance took him to Valley Hospital ER. We ended up staying 9 days!!!!What a trip staying in a time share 5 days and 4 days in hotels. We are finally home without any more incidents. Vince, my brother-in-law did it in less than 5 hrs. Cass is doing well. He had an infection in his blood which caused the seizures. Meds are being taken to prevent this but can still come back. What an adventure and I am so grateful to have my sister, Dee and Vince with us. Damon, Matthew, Danny, Tanya & family came for brief visits. Needless to say my mom had a wonderful luau without me. My brother, Buster, came from N. Carolina too. The Lord works in mysterious ways and we're here. I am grateful for his strength through out this ordeal. My faith keeps me going.

Graciious Ladies at Huntsman Cancer Institute

Our hula group, Gracious Ladies, were invited to dance at "The Pointe Restaurant. It was the 2nd Annual Utah Pacific Islander Health Summit. Our group is a service group and goes to the senior citizens communities. We will be dancing at the Iosepa Gathering in Skull Valley, Utah in May. We have alot of fun learning new dances and getting our exercise. We range from 40 something to 70 something. Come joint us! Aloha, Jennifer

Josiah Ka'eo Casabar

This is our latest grandson, Josiah, who is now 4mos. old. He is so different from the other two boys in Damon's family. He is sitting in Great Grandma's lap. He looks alot like Colton, another grandson. He is having some trouble with the cold weather right now. Utah's cold weather has a bad effect on some of the babies. Damon is such a good daddy with him. We love you, Holly, Colton, Micah, Bria. Love, Grandma Jenny

THE FABULOUS FIVE MISSING ONE!

Cass had his footsurgery 1/13/09 and one by one of my children came to visit and give support, except Maile. Maybe next time, ok. We had a wonderful time and we both were happy to see them. Thank you for all your help. Tanya helped me desize my junk somewhat, Cam and Matt were at the Hospital with me, Dan and Keone (calabash son) came just to be there, Damon visited with his siblings when he could. Plans were made and we may move within 2yrs or sooner. We feel good about it. Don't they look super. They are wonderful, loving children and their mine!

I'M BACK .........

WONDERFUL MOTHER, COOK, ORGANIZER

Here's my tribute to Tanya. She has come a long way to being my only daughter that went on an LDS church mission, married to a wonderful funny guy, has Noah, her son. She had it rough in her younger days, but she is a loving daughter who takes care of her family. She is a good cook and shopper, too. I appreciate that. Love you guys, Mom

I want to also tell them I love them dearly. They may have been difficult in their younger days, but they are gems to me now. Here's a shout out to them for a job well done. Damon has 3 children and one on the way, Matt has one girl, and Danny still single. Arent they handsome! Love you, Mom

These are my two lovely daughters. They live in Hawaii. Just wanted to tell them how much I love them and their faith. I want them to know that we as a family need to stay together and help each other out by being a loving example to everyone. If we do what is right, our rewards will come. Families are here to stay forever. Stay strong! Mom and Dad

THE GRACIOUS LADIES OF PROVO

This is our hula group which are made up of ladies in their 60s, 70s and one in her 40s. We meet each week to learn of our culture thru our hula and kahiko. This summer we have performed for some of the senior centers in Utah. Our hula teacher is Vermine Haws and we love her. On September 27th, we had our first Utah Aloha Festival at the Kalama Mohala Hawaiian Cultural Center in Midvale. We were priviledged to perform on the program to start out the festival. We were small in numbers but oh what fun we had. My sister, Dee, had a booth on diabetes, colan cancer, breast cancer among the Polynesians as well as other groups of people. We had alot of information and giveaways available. Kudos to Dee for a job well done!

MEET THE FEARLESS LEADER OF OUR OHANA

This is my husband of 35 years. We have been through many trials and tribulations but we had our faith to keep us going. We are proud of each and every one of our children and their many accomplishments. My husband is a great dad and grandpa, too. His children and grandchild come first. We as grandparents have a lot of fun with our grandchildren. Families Are Forever!

Cass at Good Things Utah Set

As you may noticed, my blog is new because I accidentally deleted it. So I have to start over again. I will try to recreate what I remember.

October 3, 2008

So we will start out with my sister, who is my twin. We travel together with our husbands and travel with my mother as well. We are closer since my moving to Utah. You will see that we are not exactly look alikes but people get fooled. In this picture we were visiting the set of "Good Things Utah". There were 7 of us from the Hawaiian Club who attended. We had alot of fun making noise and talking to the ladies. After that, we all went out to breakfast at Dees Restaurant. The picture to the left is at Good Things Utah.
