Went on a little hike....

We went up Gold Cord Lake trail at Hatcher's Pass..

The kids had fun climbing on all the big rocks and even stopped for a pic!

The violets were still blooming up there.

My new little camera has 'magic filters'... this one is 'pop art'...

Our latest adventures!!

On Saturday I did a triathlon! That's right triathlete in the room!! :)
On Sunday we took off on our adventure, headed towards Fairbanks. Georgea posing in front of the mountains up by Eureka.
Georgea took a pic of me.
Axel, Georgea and Rosalee... ready to get back on the road.
Georgea by a little waterfall... took this one for Sweet pea!
Elic and Angus... also ready to be back on the road.
The dogs loved running wild and free!!
Hanging out on the pipeline.
This was fancy breakfast one morning at Chena lakes... the other days they had oatmeal and cereal.
And we found dessert too... wild strawberries!!

We went for a hike the other day up to Hatcher's Pass... Gold Cord Mine. Hadn't been up there before. Elic was preparing for his picture...
We got a new dog... Marvin. He was pulling all the way up the hill. Seems to love hiking already!!
Rosalee with Marvin... her new buddy!
Marvin tripping Rosalee.
Georgea and Elic leading the dogs to snow!! They loved it!

One more thing....

Rosalee had a great basketball season this year... she did really well stealing the ball!!!
Dribbling it down the court and rebounding too!


She looks like she likes to steal it the most.. but she's does well scoring too! :)

Spring happenings....

This is my favorite thing right now... walked into the living room the other night and this is what awaited me. He is saving up for a bug vacuum...
This is life on our little 'farm'... Lily, little Red Riding hood, bauck-bauck, and wingey?????? I have to clarify that last one!
Splotchy and Ninja
My trip to Homer was beautiful this year.... really enjoyed time in the hot tub with this view!!! It was relaxing and I really appreciated it!
More of the hot tub view. It was a beautiful weekend!
The kids and I took a trip to Seward for Easter. We had fun, had t.v. dinners for dinner and hung out and watched a movie after we spent time at the park and checking out Seward a little!
Georgea loved the slide... she's always interested in stopping at a park.
Our self portrait... we had to take several to get everyone in!
Elic on the way up mt. Marathon!! :)

The wrestler

We have a wrestler!!! Elic decided he really likes wrestling and Georgea is interested in joining him next year too!
A little action at one of his matches...
After his first (and only so far) win!! He was pretty proud and it was a great match to watch. Both guys were pretty equally matched and they both came out happy!
