A new chapter begins...

H lost her first tooth! She pulled it out herself after a strawberry loosened it up quite a bit. She was so proud. She was nervous about the tooth fairy because she did not want to give away her tooth. She said she had enough money and didn't need the tooth fairy because she was so afraid the tooth fairy would take her tooth. So we wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking the tooth fairy to leave the tooth. So she did, and H got her money and got to keep her tooth. Isn't she cute!

Been a long time!

Summer has been busy! I have only been home for maybe a week and a half of June! So these pics will be all out of order but for the sake of just getting this post done I will just explain where we are in each! These pics are of end of summer and our trips to Ak and Wa. This is actually our trip backwards.

So up first the view in Ak is like nothing else. We love seeing this every summer.
P took this picture of himself below to show how light it was outside at 11:30 p.m. Pretty cool.We got to go fishing lots and one time with my brother and his cute son. The kids had so much fun together. I am not sure why they are indicating the number one. The last day we were in Seldovia, we went clamming. It seemed like a good idea, and the clam chowder that P made a few days later was awesome, but this particular experience was cold and both kids were crying for most of it because their hands and faces were freezing off in the rain and cold. Sad, but memorable!!
The kids were posing on the beach for pics. Such a cute little guy.
Notice what is behind them on the beach. I know, not the best parents letting the kids play a few feet from an eagle but that eagle only wanted the halibut not the kids...I watched out for them don't worry! At one point we had 8 eagles on the beach eating the leftover halibut pieces. That is how good our halibut is!!

H posing for pics. She put herself in this little log.
Can't be at the cabin without smores. And don't be fooled by the light- it was at least 9 o clock at night!!
Lest you think H is always happy... This was in WA (our first stop on our trip). We were enjoying the waterfall, well most of us were.


Oh, back in AK. On the boat. What a happy little fisher-girl.
On my Dad's boat in AK. The kids got to go fishing twice this trip and we had a lot of fun. H liked the fish less than G. They got their sea legs pretty fast, ok, well they had their sea legs as long as one of us were holding them up!!

I have a million pics of the kids with these earphones in my Dad's plane. Someday I will put them all together in a cute little post...someday.
Back in Wa- my mom, brother, the kids and Pogo. We went and saw a train yard and the kids loved it. They love trains, and their family so it was lots of fun!!
Ok, here in UT. G liked the horse this time around unlike the last time we took him. H is in the back.
Back in WA. Love this pic of me and the kids. And of course the big train.
Back in UT. H had some silly days at her school for the last week. This is crazy sock day. She is wearing my socks. And then it's crazy hat day. It is a cowboy hat with a rennasaince flower tiara on top. She thought it was so funny!

Ok, that's all for today folks. We are starting to prepare for our move. Hoping we will know our exact house by early next week! Moving soon! Thanks for looking at our crazy fam!
