What we have been up to lately :>

We have had a lot of fun during the past few months. The boys participated in an ice fishing tournament in Wasilla. It was pretty crazy driving on the frozen lake to fish. All three boys won a prize and they were excited!
Both Hunter and Gunner wrecked their sleds into an ice ramp that they built in the backyard (even though I had just warned them about the importance of protecting our heads when we are outside playing). That talk lasted about 5 minutes. I was grateful that they were both OK.
We had fun at the Iditarod last week. Our family put our winter gear on and headed for Goose Lake where we were able to see the sled dog teams pass. We cheered the teams on as they ran past us. Parker was able to get two dog booties. He was very excited!
Jason ran with the reindeer. This is an anual event here in Anchorage. The streets were packed (almost impossible to get through) as everyone prepared to watch the running of the reindeer. Jason and his co-workers participated. The kids and I cheered him on from the sidelines! It was so much fun and we had some pretty good laughs as many slipped and fell (of course they weren't hurt or else we wouldn't have laughed :> There was no goring going on, just a lot of laughs.
Jacey had her honor orchestra concert last week. She did beautifully! She was one of only 60 in the whole Anchorage School District that was chosen to be a part of the orchestra. She worked hard and we are so proud of her.
Jason and I were able to see the northern lights last night.
The weather just started to rise this week and the snow is beginning to melt. Even though we are far away...we continue to love and pray for our many family members and friends. :>
