Dirty Summer Fun...
OK, here are the last of the summer photos I found on Andy's camera. I love these ones of the boys (saved the best for last). Hard to believe it's Christmas Eve already looking back at these pics. of the boys with sunburned cheeks. Happy Holidays to you all from the cold & snowy North!
More Salmon...
A lot of mornings during the summer Andy gets up early and heads to one of his favorite fishing holes before the boys and I are even up. That's why Jax is often still in his PJ's when he comes outside to check out Dad's catch. Luna is eyeing down this salmon hardcore...

Jax & the mountain...
Yep, that's Denali. This spot is at the end of a road here in Talkeetna. Kind of a locals short cut, trail head and photo spot.
Summer fish photos
These are photos off Andy's camera from this summer. Luna loves salmon, see her licking her lips in hopes of getting some...

my little men...
I love it when these two cuddle... Not sure what age brothers stop wanting to hug and snuggle each other so I really enjoy every time I get to see this. It's also awesome to see them as little clones of each other because I know they will grow and change into such different men. People always comment lately on how much alike they look.

Lego Landmines...
If you have ever stepped on Lego pieces you know what I mean, ouch! My stairs are dangerous when they get like this. Welcome to my world, the boys love Legos and are really creative with them. Hence the mess...

just a craft
Using up some saved things to recycle into art I made this little wine cork photo frame. I can change the photo often and it will hang in both directions depending on the picture I want in it. (corks, glue gun and an old frame was all I needed. I added the string and eye hooks to make a hanger for it.)

practice booth...
We had a strange size booth at the craft show I went to this week (8ft.x6ft.) so I had to set it up at home to figure out how I'd make it work. Since I forgot to take any pics. at the bazaar, here's my practice booth in our dining room.

Happy Halloween
It's the Jax Tax! Jaxon wanted to be a taxi so here it is. Hawken was a baby skeleton. Some boy called him a X-ray which pissed him off. "I'm a skeleton not X-ray!" he screamed at the kid. It was a chilly evening of trick-o-treating here in Talkeetna, but we braved the cold. The Harvest Carnival at the grade school was a packed house as usual, the kids had fun. Happy Halloween to you all...
