The is an online version of The Hillesheim Family Newsletter. It's here for all to enjoy. Well, we all know that 'enjoy' is a relative term, right? Anyway, these are the efforts of a wonderful mom and her desire for the family to have a sense of communication and interaction - in spite of the family being scattered all across Utah.
Soon you will be able to read the archives of this newsletter in its second year. But, first things first. We must finish this site before the archives are uploaded for you to read.

Hello- Just wanted to take note that Grandma Nielsen (Mom) is getting her right eye done today. She has already had her left eye done last month. she will be able to see much better and when she gets her new glasses, it will be even better for her. Yeah-Good for her!! She hates going through these things, but did it anyway. She gets some pretty good black eyes from it!! We call it battle scars!! She is a trooper! Love you MOM.

The reunion went very well and I think that grandma Nielsen had a lot of fun and she is really glad we had it. We celebrated her 90th birthday while we were all together. We had birthday cupcakes and a balloon tribute to her and dad and the family. It was very cool. We had 97 attend and that is pretty good, because we are all spread across the country!!!!! the cousins really had a great time visiting with each other, because they hadn’t seen each other in a very long time! I am so glad we did it!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you MOM

Diana gave birth to little Raegan Lyn Reed on June 3rd. She was three weeks early. Mommy’s blood pressure was too high and so the water was broken by the doctor and a few hours later she was here. Everyone is fine! She needed to stay n the hospital two days because she needed to be able to keep her own body heat and nurse good. What a great day!! We love you little princess!! xoxoxoxo
