With Elli’s arrival just around the corner we decided to move Nya into her new room to start sleeping in her “big girl bed.” Last night was the first time we put her down in this new room, and on a regular bed. She did surprisingly well. We had to put her back to bed […]
From Alaska
Got That Sinking Feeling
Yesterday I took the Rhino from our house out to my parents place in Sterling to get out and enjoy the day. Niki met me there with the trailer. If you don’t know, the trails between here and there are not for the faint of heart. There are mud holes after creeks after mud holes… […]
Let Me Out Of Here!
If Elli could talk I’m sure that’s what she’d be saying. I caught this on the camera yesterday and had to share it with you. It’s like an alien or something. So we did see the Dr. today and she said nothing has changed since we went in a week ago! Apparently it doesn’t do […]
Painfully And Not So Patiently Waiting
It’s been over a week since our False Alarm x2 and we’re still waiting. My poor wife… We’ve got a doctors appointment tomorrow to see if we can’t speed things up a bit. In the mean time we’re doing almost everything we can to get this baby coming! Yesterday we cleaned the whole house, […]
Thud
Yesterday we were watching Curious George the movie with Nya and heard a loud thud on our window. We looked out the window and saw this little hawk with his prize. He slowly drug the dead bird off the edge of the lawn to get proper medical attention in the shrubs… OK, maybe not […]
Onions Aren’t Like Apples!
So today Matt (AK-49) said he’d give me $10 if I’d take a bite out of an onion like it was an apple. As one who understands the value of ten dollars, I took him up on the offer. Plus I’ve heard of people eating onions like apples before so I thought it couldn’t be […]
False Alarm x2
As if it’s not bad enough going to the hospital to have a baby and getting sent home. We decided to take it to the next level and do it twice in the same day! I feel so bad for my poor wife, this pregnancy has been way tougher on her than it was the […]
Is It Baby Time?
Well I’ve been putting off blogging and was going to sit down and get all the pictures organized and do a major update, but I think this development deserves it’s own post regardless of my blog backlog. Here we are at the hospital, three and a half weeks early. Niki has been experiencing contractions for […]
It Sure Is Hot In These Rhino’s
It’s finally here. We’ve been saving up and had our sights set on a Rhino, then yesterday I finally bagged one. We’re really excited about the deal we got and the fun that it’s going to bring. It’s a 2007 Yamaha Rhino 450 w/ 3,000lb Warn Winch, digital dash, and came with the trailer. It […]
Kids With Benefits
I think I just realized why some couples have so many kids… J/K When Nya realized that she wasn’t strong enough to move the rake this game abruptly ended. I’m sure that if she had the strength she would have raked the whole yard for me… OK, maybe that’s a little optimistic, but WE did […]
