Jax & Dad

Jaxon and Andy went for a ride into the mountains a couple weeks ago. When they got home Jax said "it was awesome!" and they went again the next day. That's Denali on the right (Hunter is the middle mountain and Foraker is the one on the left). Beautiful...

happy bunny day...

Ski Club Party

The last day of ski club each year is a fun party and bonfire down in the "ski club meadow". It was a beautiful sunny day to end the season with. The kids enjoyed some games and tug-o-war on skis and an Easter egg hunt along the ski trails. Fun had by all as you can see and we all left with tired red cheeked younglings. Ski Club may be done for this year but the season isn't quite over here, we are still getting snow...

This link is to a Bend Oregon news story in which my Dad was the one to call in a fire he saw at a church. Two churches were actually on fire as well as five other buildings in  the neighborhood and they are now looking for an arsonist. The FBI  and ATF were involved, they take arson on churches quite seriously, pretty intense. My Dad said people are recognizing him around town now and saying "hey your the guy on the news who called in the church fires". My Dad has some good stories and this one doesn't disappoint... (He's in the news clip at the very beginning) this story was even passed on to a few national websites, crazy.

An Alaskan Week

Mountain Climbers

Alaskan Brothers In Action

It's been a very Alaskan week, with snowmachine rides into the mountains and snow slide building at the farm, sledding, skiing, moose in the yard everyday, Northern Lights, clear skies and COLD temps. A lot happens that I don't get photos of. More signs of a changing season for us: Ski Club is winding down (1 more week), Spring Break is over, longer days, more sun, less snow. It's all pointing to an approaching Spring but here it still feels like Winter. I'm ready for the next season and sometimes I feel that we don't get a Spring it just rolls right into summer during the month of May. Soon the Skeeters will be showing themselves and chasing us down, I Can't Wait... Because that means SUMMER!

The Girls

Here is a "selfy" and I'm blocking out Denali with my helmet.

Nancy suited up for the ride, here we go...
