It’s only the beginning of July and we’ve already experienced days upon days of beautiful and unusually warm weather for us Alaskans! So this blog post will be short on words because, well… a picture is worth a 1000 words, as the saying goes… Elli eating on our front patio Sadie & Nya in their […]

Mount Redoubt, Bring It On…
Well as I’m sure you’re all aware, Mount Redoubt finally blew yesterday and is continuing to do so. I wish that I could have got some pics of it but as circumstances had it she came like a theif in the night. But, that doesn’t mean that we’re not prepared, I think the following speaks for itself… […]
Who Made The Moon & Stars?
So it turns out I get a lot of praise from the hubby for blogging, which in turn motivates me to do it more! I think I get way more “atta-girls” for blogging than doing the laundry or cooking so I’ve decided I’ll let those things go and spend that extra time blogging every day… […]

Burning The Midnight Oil
I think I’m starting to understand the true meaning of the statement “Momma burns the midnight oil”. There was an old song with that title and somehow from listening to it I got the impression that “momma burning the midnight oil” went something like this. Momma tucks her beautiful children into bed, turns out the […]
Just another mushy blog from the wife & mom…
So I’m pretty sure I don’t totally understand the whole concept of blogging and what it’s all for… so forgive me if I don’t necessarily follow the right blogging etiquette. The last time I tried to blog I uploaded 26 pictures (which didn’t end up loading correctly, and why not?) and Ty informed me that […]
Christmas Parties 2008
As I alluded to in my Christmas 2008 post, here is the official Christmas party entry. The first party that we made it to was on Christmas eve at Dave and Susie Knudsen’s house. Long time family friends / neighbors and also the parents of my sisters brother-in-law. (Not to mention that they’re also the in-laws of Niki’s former room […]
Christmas 2008
What a fun day! It was a little tough waking up after a whopping four hours of sleep, but once Niki made us some coffee from her new cappuccino machine (early christmas present), we were good to go. We started the day off with a little coloring. Then moved straight into the presents. With the real tree […]
Private Party
Last night was our annual church Christmas party and we didn’t go… We weren’t avoiding the sublime snacks, congenial company, or fabulous fun. It’s just not exactly easy when your cheeky children’s normal nannies are also participating in the party. That conundrum coupled with twelve toilsome hours of work on top of five fruitless hours of sleep […]
Tuesday In Pictures
We had a nice lazy day at the house today so I took the opportunity to play with my camera a bit and capture some fun pics to share. Hope you enjoy! (It’s a little lengthy.) First things I saw when I looked out the window were a moose in the yard and a nice […]
