Hammlers Go To Disneyland

Kristin and Bob Hammler took their family to Disneyland a couple weeks ago.  They spent two days there and had a marvelous time.  They happened to be there at the same time as cousins John and Mary Filicetti from Kent, Washington.

They were able to meet for dinner at the Wine Country Trattoria at Disneyland and then took in the World of Color…which started but then they were rained out. 

Disneyland has been a tough visit this year in California because of the rain.  (This Blogger fly to Los Angeles with Jody’s Mom and Dad…then we met Joshua, Jody,  Judson and Jonah for a few days at Disneyland…put in one-half day…I refer to it as the Disneyland Deluge.)

Kristin and Bob have three children:  Zach (10), Kaleb (7) and Madison (5).  They just finished their ride on the Tower of Terror (in California Adventure Land) when Madison announced that she had just lost her first tooth.  The amazing thing was the Tooth Fairy found her and her tooth in California.

Madison is involved in dance...all three play soccer.  Bob will coach Kaleb and Madison's teams this year.  Kristin is the President of the PTA at Alkali Creek School in Billings Heights where the Hammlers live.

Kristin is the daughter of Laurie and Randy Koutnik.  She is Raymond and Helen Patrick's granddaughter.

Brian and Patty Patrick's News from their 2010 Christmas Letter

Cory is a senior at Townsend High School.  He played football and basketball during his senior year.  He was named to the 2010 All Conference Basketball Team.  He was also named Defense and Offense All Conference in Football as well as All State in Football.

Cory’s extracurricular activities didn’t end there.  He was in the Spring, Summer and Fall plays at the high school taking on parts of a minister, hospital orderly and a swashbuckling pirate.

He went to San Antonio, Texas with his Spanish club…had a wonderful time except for the jelly fish sting which needed first aid.  He spent his summer lifeguarding at the city pool and helping with the paper route.

Hannah is a Junior at Townsend High School.  She played on the varsity volleyball team.  She loves playing golf…spent her summer at the gym every day.  She also does yard care jobs and is known in Townsend as the” blonde Japanese Gardener.”

She is also on air at KDGZ, a local radio station.  She attended RYLA summer camp…stays busy with activities Aim Higher, Christian Athletes and is a new member on the Broadwater Foundation Board.

Tyler  is a 6^th grader.  He ran for 6^th grade rep on the school student council…is preparing for confirmation…played center and line on his small fry football team, the Badgers.  They had a great season and made it to the playoff round.  Last summer he enjoyed Carroll football and basketball camps as well as drama camp.  He excels at the trumpet.

Alaina is busy in her life of Mom, Wife and  Employee.  She and Mike are the parents of 4 year-old Parker.  Mike is on the road during the week.  He now has a contractor’s license so call him if you have a job that needs done.  (I wish these relatives lived closer…between a gardener and a contractor…I could keep them busy.)

Patty has given up the paper route…keeps in touch with everyone on Facebook…subs at the school. 

Brian spends his workday in meetings…so he took up running to relieve stress.  He meetings have taken him to Phoenix…Washington, D. C.  where he received a special tour of the Pentagon.  He walked from Arlington to the Capitol Dome and saw sites along the way.

Of course, the big thrill at the Patrick household was Brian’s beloved San Francisco Giants winning the 2010 World Series.

Craig and Linda Patrick Family News from 2010

Linda sent out a newsy letter recapping 2010 for their family with her Christmas card.  Here’s what she told us in summary:

Craig and Linda vacationed in Hawaii in December.   They spent 4 days on Oahu and 4 days in Kauai.

Their second grandson, James Patrick Dustin was born on February 10, 2010   in Missoula, Montana.  The proud parents are Sadie Patrick and Perry Dustin.  Little Jimmie joins brother Hunter at home in Missoula where Sadie is currently working at the Wingate Hotel after graduating in 2010 from the University of Montana in Business Management.

Kim Patrick is working as a manager at the Canyon River Golf Course in Missoula.  While Kile lives in the Seattle area and has become quite involved in running and competing in marathons.

Robin is back at MSU-Eastern in Billings, Montana after dealing with continuing health issues..

The Patricks enjoyed the 100 Year Celebration of Hingham, Montana.  It sounds as if everyone had a good time at the celebration.  Craig was the MC for the day.  Linda was on the organizing committee.  Their family donned the old Hingham Ranger basketball gear and wore them in the “fun run” the morning of the celebration. I am hoping that someone in the family  who took part in the celebration will write an article for us.

Craig is busy restoring his old pickup  Linda thinks it is a ’47 Dodge.  His goal is to have it finished by Spring, 2011.  We will have to check on him.

Linda retired from her employment in October, 2010.  They leased out the ranch…and now are looking forward to spending time visiting their children and grandchildren…plus spending some time during the cold winter in Arizona.
