October 2017

 Happy Halloween! Not sure what happened to the pictures of the older three but here's the line-up for this year's dressing up: 

Brigham was Rocket from the Guardians of the Galaxy

Darla was Snow White

Leisl was Elsa from Frozen

And Noah was our little monkey.  

For the boys' birthday adventure we went to the Dinosaur museum in Anchorage.  Kabe immediately found the room full of rocks and fossils and wanted to tell us everything about all of them.  He is seriously so smart I don't know how his brain holds all the facts.  He has also been developing his love for photography and we are trying to teach him that pictures are better when they have people in them. 

We liked looking at all the fossils and laughing at all the pseudotheories. 

Brigham is really into dinosaurs right now. 

We also had a field trip to the fire station and the kids got to climb up in the fire trucks. 

This was a beautiful sunset we caught one night when we were working at the house. 

Speaking of house - the project keeps moving forward and we love spending time out there working together as a family and learning how to do new things.  

Kabe doesn't like having his picture taken and will usually hide his face when I try to sneak up on him. 

But occasionally I get a really great shot like this one.  What a fantastic kid - I love his smile, his freckles, his sweet heart and his great brain. 

We finally finished the office remodel and wow!  What a difference.  It is so beautiful and peaceful and inviting.  We really love the new colors and the front desk is really a work of art. 

This month Emilie came up to visit and I was able to take some family pictures for the McKenna's.

We took a family camping trip to Ladasa and enjoyed a few days out in the woods. 

Silly kids playing with my phone again!

It's fun watching our kids grow and learning about how their personalities are changing.  I have never been excited to mother teenagers, but I have a feeling these ones are going to be a lot of fun. 

The little girls earned an adventure so we took them to the reindeer farm just around the corner from where our new house is being built. 

It was so fun to be so close to these interesting animals.  Leisl got really close (one of the reindeer tried to mount her) and was a little uncomfortable, but she loved riding the horse!
