Rock Gym

We have taken up a new family hobbie, rock climbing. We all own our own gear and we go twice a week. So if I seem buffer to you in the coming months you will know why. :o)

Snowboarding

Jared took us snowboarding. It was comical. None of us could hold onto the ski lift to get up the hill. Jared ended up having all of us take off our snowboards, hike up the hill, and then put them back on. We did that over and over again. Very fun and funny family outing.

The Jared is Back!

After 10 months in Afghanistan Jared has come home. Here's the funny story that goes along with it. I assumed we were to pick him up in the parking lot of the designated place so I am waiting in the van looking around for soldiers getting off of a bus. Meanwhile inside the building of the parking lot we were in there is a "coming home" ceremony with all of the soldiers' families. After the ceremony all the families run and greet their soldier. Guess whose family isn't there? I get wife of the year for that one. I finally wonder what on earth is going on and go inside the building to see if anyone knows anything. Our run and hug was a little late but still just as special.





You miss the simplest things when you are apart like breakfast together in the morning. I love how it's pitch dark outside in Alaska at breakfast time. No good morning sunshine for us.


Finally someone to wrestle with the boys!
