Camping with a little clamming on the side!

We headed down south to do some clamming, the boys and I have never clamming so we were very excited. Caleb had been counting down the days to go to the beach and camping.

Both boys loved the fire at the camp site. We slept in the tee pee and after clamming Jarrett and Caleb took a nap. can you find Caleb?

Sweet!

Our motley clamming crew, Marty, Kiana, Stacey and Autumn!!!

This was Caleb, Luke and my first time clamming. It was fun. Caleb and Luke just loved being at the ocean chasing birds, looking for shells, and digging in the sand.

Jarrett's Kodiak Brown Bear

Jarrett is now home from a week in Kodiak hunting brown bears. He had a good time but we sure are glad to have him home!!

Imaginarium & Downtown

The boys and I join Maggie and Connie Friday evening at the Imaginarium, then a short walk around dowtown finished off with a trip to the mall. It was a great evening.

The Butte ~ You Find Out Who Your Friends Are....

Autumn and Shaphan invited us to hike the Butte with them. You can imagine the break neck speed with a 6 1/2 month pregnant lady! Caleb is a natural trail blazer, he self appointed himself to be in charge of everyone and lead the way. He also chose a special walking stick for everyone as well.

We all had a great time except the wind was ripping at the top blowing dust everywhere, thus the nasty dirt grim on everyone.

When we got to the bottom I realized I was missing my jacket that had my phone and keys. Autumn and Shaphan ran all the way back up to the top and retrieved my lost jacket for me. What great friends.... it doesn't end there, then they topped it all off with bring the boys and me dinner. What sweet hearts!

Love, dirt in your teeth, and great friends,

Heart Run 2007

This was our fourth heart run. And RUN Caleb did... it is amazing what the spirit of competition can do. Good thing Aunt Stacey was there to keep a close eye on him.

Love and dead batteries in the camera,

Last Winter Season Trip to the Cabin

The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. But it was our last trip of the winter season. We will be able to head out again after the lake defrosts, around
the beginning of June.

Luke cracked me up when he fell asleep on the ride out and we just laid him on the seat while we stopped.

Love and springs around the corner,

More Birthday Photos

Finally downloaded a few more birthday pictures of our little two year old. And the trusty pirate!

Love and race track cakes,

Water Front?

Break up has come and gone, but for about a week our street and driveway were underwater.

Caleb wanting to be the "captain" of any ship thought we should get the canoe out. So he recruited Aunt Stacey and Luke as his trusty crew.

Now we just need everything to green up!

Love and big puddles,

Happy 2nd Birthday Luke!

Luke celebrated his second birthday. The theme was Cars since he loves playing with cars and trucks. Now that Luke is two he is speaking a lot. He knows all his animals and the sound they make. The Musk Ox is his favorite. He knows all his body parts and loves to name them. He loves to eat anything sweet. His standard answer to any question is "No". He loves to play with his brother and will often put up his fists and ask "Do you want a piece of me?" He is 36 1/2 inches and weighs 34.8 pounds. We love every ounce.

The boys in California

I think this is the sweetest photo of Luke, he went into the garage and put on papa's hat and just hung out. Just like papa would have. Cherished memories.














The boys loved visiting Great Grandma Gladys and her bird Timmy.












The boys enjoyed the California sunshine. It was hard to keep them out of the water.

Aunties!!!

To my dearest aunts... it didn't take my boys long to figure out who they could get all the goodies from. If they had it their way we would have brought these ladies home. SO I guess you will just have to come see us.

Love and bagels,

The Bread Sled

It is that time of year again... to gather bread for the critters. Luke threw the bread out of the truck and Caleb loaded and pulled it on the sled. They are both hard workers.

In case your wondering Caleb is holding a Mouse-a-teer gun or peg leg depending on your need. Otherwise know as an oil funnel. Gotta love his imagination.

Love and Bread Sleds,

Happy 30th Stacey!!!

Happy 30th Stacey..... Does any recognize what was attached to Stacey's car? And were they there all day?

Happy Birthday we love you!

Love and baby boys,

Dad

This is the most difficult post I hope I ever have to make and it is a remembrance of a few things about my dad who passed away on March 14, 2007. What can I say except I wish there was more time, he loved us his family and grandchildren, he loved visiting Alaska. My dad was a wonderful man who could fix anything, an avid reader, enjoyed his favorite foods, loved his car races, fishing, and Harley's. May you be at peace dad, we love you and will miss you.
