Easter Fun

We had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday with the primary . There

were so many eggs out in the snow. We had a lot of people show up for this activity and everyone had so much fun!








The second picture is the boys teaching Allison how to do jump rope. She loved it and didn't want them to stop.

James & Donovan

I thought this was so hilarious. I truly love being a mother and not missing these moments.

James's pine wood derby

I am trying so hard to keep adding things to our blog. As you can see from the picture James is the ham of our family. Always wants to make everyone laugh.

Orchestra Concert

This was Donovan's second year being in Honors Orchestra, his third playing the Chello. He seemed to be very at ease this year. He tends to get nervous easily, just like me. He will be playing the Chello while in Junior High School next year as well, orchestra is offered as a year long program.

Mexico

I had to share these pictures of Mexico. We had the most amazing time there, and of course I should have taken more pictures. The sun feels so amazing there, how could anyone feel anything but happiness there.













This is the kids club area of the all-inclusive resort. You could drop the kiddos off at 9 am to play and pick them up at 6 pm. They keep the kids busy with so many activities going all day. They had 3 different areas for the kids to play at.

Here is some of the view of the Gulf of California or what the locals call the "Sea of Cortez".

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas this year, very modest. Tim got us all up at 5 a.m. because he was so excited. The kids really likes their gifts and played with them all morning, while the parents went back to bed. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but Donovan has officially out grown me, height and weight.

We took these pictures of St. Elias on our way back from Valdez to Fairbanks. The temperature in Valdez was a warm 20 degrees above, when we got to Fairbanks it was a chilly -40 below. This marked winter as officially here in Alaska.

Christmas Orchestra Concert

This is was Donovan and James's christmas orchestra concert. The pictures didnt come out to well since the lighting wasn't quite right. Donovan's back is all I get to see most of the time. James is in the back right. Donovan is the one foward left.
