Painting the House

Yahooo!!! We're glad we finished painting!!!! Now we need to do trim and put the lights back up.

Govenor's Picnic

We attended the governor's picnic. It was fun, games and salmon burgers. Caleb like the activity were you mined for oil in a cupcake. As you can see he really enjoyed the frosting. Then we had to tear him away from the big inflated slide. Aunt Stacey is so helpful, she is great at wrangling the boys. Luke loved running around in the grass.

Happy Birthday MOM!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

We love you!!!!

Dipnetting

Okay, I have to admit, dipnetting is one of my favorite things to do.....
How can you beat floating down the Kenai with great company catching reds! I love it.

We camped at the Diamond M Ranch it is a fun little place, but what makes it so great is the company. There are about ten church families and we all camp together, it's like a little fishing commune. Fun Fun Fun.

Gary was kind enough to introduce Caleb to filleting fish. He is a brave man. We all had a great time.

Mexican Riveria

I haven't posted in a while but I have a good excuse.... vacation. We went on a seven day carnival cruise. It was FABULOUS!! The food, service, shows, and best of all the company was awesome. We went with three other great couples.

I think Jarrett's favorite part was the 24 hour pizzaria.

Parade

We went to the Colony Days parade today with Megan and Wyatt. David and Abby went with us too. It was a great day!

Concrete

We decided to add a concrete deck out the back door. Caleb was so excited to see the concrete truck, I know the driver had to be impressed that a three year old knew all the part of the truck. He wanted to help so bad, it was his job to help the concrete down the chute with his shovel... He is a very hard worker just like his dad!

Luke was in his outside playpen the back of the truck. As soon as he got out he walked across the concrete, leaving little footprints, luckily it was easily fixed. As was the big dog prints as well! It's always interesting around here!

Memorial Day Camping

We decided to go camping for Memorial Day. This would be my first camping trip with the boys in a tent without dad, he was working. So we kept it close to home. Aunt Stacey went along as moral support. Good thing, because before we could even unload the truck Caleb was testing out going to the bathroom in the great outdoors. Camping was quite an adventure!

Treasure Hunter

Okay I know, I said this geocaching was for the family but I love to be the one to find the cache!!! SO I am two for three, not that it matters.

So now we are all hunters Jarrett for big game, Caleb for bugs, Luke for food, and me for cache!!!!

Geocaching

So I heard about a new little adventure geocaching....and we love advernture so we gave it a try.


Caleb and Luke loved it they just love being out in the woods hitting trees and tearing things apart.

Caleb started with the GPS then Jarrett took it over, when we got the exact point we the cache was suppose to be located Jarrett and I were discussing where we thought the possible cache was and Caleb started yelling, "Hey guys, I found something here!" Since he was about thirty feet away we though he was pulling our leg but sure enough he pulled out the cache. Jarrett and I we just laughing. Here we are analyzing all the factors and Caleb finds it. All the caches are hidden in plain sight. It is a great family adventure!

Want a banana?

Need I say more??

Crazy Hair!

Stacey put Luke's hair in a mowhawk curl while he was in the tub. It soon dried that way and would not lay down, even for church the next day!

Heart Run 2006

Today we went to our third Heart Run. Caleb and Luke both won gold medals!! Caleb loves his medal and he won't take his number off either. Caleb especially liked how everyone clapped for him at the finish line. Luke rode in the Chariot and enjoyed snacks! Aunt Stacey, Megan and Wyatt kept us company.

Bull Dozer

Our friends are doing some landscaping, so they invited Caleb over to go for a ride on the bulldozer. Caleb was very excited. He had to wear his hard hat. He even got to run some of the controls! We have some pretty cool friends!!

Sword Hat!

Caleb has been cracking us up! He wonders around with the....."Sword hat". That trusty little opening in the back of your baseball hat is the perfect size to hold a sword. It is really funny when he has the sword in his hat he walks with perfect posture!! Never a dull moment.

Easter

Happy Easter!!
Caleb and Luke had a great Easter. Miss Autumn and Mr. Shaphan made the crew a yummy breakfast and hid special eggs for Caleb and Luke. Then to church. After church the boys took a nap, I wrote two papers and Stacey hid eggs for the boys. After they woke up they hunted eggs and made tomb bread. It was great. I love when Stacey and Caleb bake she always make him wear safety goggles. What a special aunt.

Muscle Man

Did you know Luke's been working out?

Planting Seeds

Luke wanted to plant peas... His favorite.

Caleb wanted to wear his gardening hat while planting his spooky pumpkins.
Yes, that is snow still on the ground, but we are working on spring!

Sand box, Shorts, & 45 degrees

The boys got to go out and play in the sand box. It warmed up to 45 degrees so Caleb thought he should wear shorts! Luke was prepared in his full rain gear. Notice the tree Caleb planted in the corner.

Happy First Birthday Luke!!!!

The aftermath!!
He just kept nodding his head...as if to say
"Ya, this is the good stuff!"
Luke speeds on his new pooh plane

Happy Birthday little guy!!! You are the sweetest boy.
