Halloween ~ 2013

My three ninjas!  We had a rare warm Halloween in Anchorage.  The boys loved it!  They stayed out much longer than they did in the last two years and got way more candy as a result!

 

 Their pumpkins!  Ben's is the far left (from a pattern). Will's is the middle (designed and carved out all on his own).  Eli's on the far right.

Sam - 5 days

Prepare for a deluge of pictures!  This little precious bundle has stolen our hearts and I have lots of pictures to post of him over the next few days/weeks.  He is only 5 days old here.  Mommy is having fun playing with her camera and the new baby.  Daddy and I have been taking shifts at night, so the sleep deprivation has not been too bad (even though my turn to sleep is sometimes interrupted by feedings)

 

Will's 9th Birthday

The years are passing much too quickly!  Happy 9th Birthday!

 

Parents Again

Little Sam has already arrived, but I came across this picture as I was putting blog posts together.  Not too long after this our new bundle of joy arrived!  I love this picture!  It is hard to believe the two of us are parents to four amazing little boys!

 

First Day of 1st Grade

Ben's first day of first grade!  His teacher this year is Ms. Kaltenborn.  She is very sweet and we think she will be a great teacher!

 

First Day of 4th Grade

Here is Will on his first day of school for the 2013-2014 school year.  Fourth grade!  Wish I could make him stop growing!  He is in Mr. Bailey's class which is a combined 4th/5th grade class.  He will be doing 4th grade work for math and English, but 5th grade work for science and social studies.

 

Salmon Run

Big thanks to our friends the Tonks' for letting us know about the salmon on base.  The fish ladder gate was closed so that the base wildlife people could count how many salmon were swimming into six-mile lake, so we got a good look at them!  So much fun to see the salmon run!

 

Caught one jumping!

 

Green Lake Canoeing

A nice warm day for some fishing and canoeing! This is Green Lake on JBER.

 

Look what we found!
