Salt Lake City

I was able to go to Salt Lake City for the weekend, and visit my family. I had a wonderful time! I was able to visit the sites and go shopping with my mother. We ate so much good food! And my cousin Cameron and Kari had a beautiful wedding, I was so glad that I was able to visit with all the family. The weather was sunny and hot! It was nice to get out of the rain! We have had 27 straight days of rain, and we have broken the record this year! It is still beautiful.

We also can't waite... only 2 1/2 more months until we have our new baby girl! Now if we could only come up with a name. Let me know if you have any good ideas...We like them short and sweet and girlie.

2010 Airshow-Anchorage Ak

We spent the whole day on base watching the airshow. The kids had a ton of fun, and got to run,run, and run some more! They got to go in all the planes, helicopters, trucks, and tanks. They loved the planes that did all the tricks the best. They didn't like the jets as much, they were to loud. But we had a blast!

Haili loved to talk to one of the girl pilots of the Blue Angels!

Cody loved to play with all the guns they had!

They both got their faces done in camo, but the guy painting cody's couldn't stop laughing. Cody didn't want a stranger touching his face, so he pouted the whole time.

We got to see the Blue angels and the Candadian Snow birds.

Hello From Alaska

Birthdays come and go so fast and I can't believe how grown up my children are. Cody loves riding his bike these days, he will get off at random times kick the tires check the chain then get back on and start riding again. He is such a man. His favorite things right now is anything to do with toy story and tools. He turned 4 this year, and we had a small party with grandma and grandpa rowe. He loved it. Haili has turned 6 going onto 21.. she is so excited that she will be in the first grade. She had a fun party out in the rain. She got her ears pierced and she got her favorite dress up shoes. They are both at the age where they love to fight with each other but they can't stand to play alone. They can't waite until our new arrival comes(Which by the way we are having a GIRL!). Every day Haili is excited to watch my stomach grow and asks is the baby comming yet. They drive me crazy sometimes but they make me laugh more than ever. We have had a beautiful start to our summer, it rains every other day but it is still very pretty and the kids have enjoyed it here. We are even thinking about staying here permanently. Well that is our update so far Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!

More Iditarod

Trevor took these pictures while he was flying up to Nome. It looks pretty, but it is freeeeezzzing COLD! Trevor is so windburned and sunburned when he comes home. He looks like he's been in Hawaii not Alaska. :)

Welcome 2010

This christmas was pretty good! The kids had a lot of fun, hanging out with friends, eating lots of cookies, and most important playing with all their new toys! It has been getting pretty cold around here lately. I went home and the radio said it was negative 32 degrees outside with the windchill. That can hit ya a little hard, but Haili is not affected by the cold at all. Every day at school they play outside after lunch, the only time they can't go outside is if the temperatures drop below 0. Even during christmas break Haili would bundle up and go outside and play with her snow sled and make pathways in the snow. Cody on the other hand is a lot like me! The second he feels cold he comes inside and is done for the day. We love to sit by the window and watch the snow fall and wait for the sun to come up, whitch is around 10:30 am about now. We do love it here, it seems to have a lot of potential for our family. Trevor is doing well at PenAir. He is enjoying being out in the bush and he seems to meet a lot of interesting people. We are hoping soon he will be working out of Anchorage, which we would all see him a lot more than we do now. This past year has seemed a little tuff on our family but we think this new year will turn out pretty good. I can't believe how time fly's so fast! Cody has started in Sunbeams, and Haili will be turning 6 this year! She has turned out to be such a lovely little girl. Both my children have been very helpfull while Trevor is away.

School Pictures

Haili is the cutest little girl I have ever seen!!! I love her pictures, she looks so sweet and innocent. This last week at school her teacher put her on the bus because she goes to an after school program. so anyways they had substitute bus drivers that day and they parked in different spots this time. Well Haili was convinced her teacher put her on the wrong bus. So she decided to get off the bus after her teacher left and got on the other bus. Well when the bus was done with all his stops he still had one more child left... Haili. So she told him to drop her off at her house. Which the bus driver took her all the way to our house. The bus driver thank goodness did not leave her beacuse no one was home and I don't get off work for 3 more hours. They finally figured out where she was supposed to go. I am just glad it turned out well. It's just one of the many moments on how stubborn she can be. I think she gets that from her father :)

Other than that we are really enjoying Alaska. Right now we are having a beautiful fall, which they never get. But I am enjoying everyday of it. We are getting ready for Halloween, Haili is going to be a Vampire and Cody is going to be a Fighter Pilot.

Last Week Haili and Cody and I flew to Medford, Oregon. It wasn't bad, we got bumped off at least 6 flights trying to get out of anchorage. Haili and Cody are the best little travelers. They even spent the entire day at the Portland airport tyring to get home. We had fun visiting the family. Haili and Cody got to ride a horse, eat fruit off the fruit trees and play in their garden. We even went to Sarah and Jacobs dance lessons. We were only there for the weekend, we wish we could have stayed a bit longer but the kids had fun.
