Xtra Tuffs for Easter!

Happy Easter to all of our friends and family! We love and miss you all so much. Jill (my wonderful sister) this morning I turned on Sandi Patty and sang our song. It didn't sound quite as good with out you there to sing with me.

We are still in a very bad Easter, Kodiak storm. You can't really see it in the picture but it is raining very hard. Stephen and I both decided to sport our Xtra Tuff boots. We actually really would have fit in if we'd left them on for church. Stephen wears his almost every day for school, and fits in just fine. Xtra Tuffs are the shoe to have in Kodiak, everyone that's anyone has a pair.

Again, have a wonderful Easter! HE HAS RISEN!!!!!

Do You See What I See?

So our Easter weekend was suppose to be spent in Ouzinkie, however a great big storm decided to strike. It's interesting how the Lord speaks, sometimes quietly and sometimes very loudly! Anyway so today after catching a little bit of a Kodiak track meet Stephen and I went out to the docks to see what we could see.

Stephen spotted a boat with something strange hanging from it. When we got closer we could tell it was a great big octupus, or at least the remains of one. Anyway, it was cold and we were happy to have such a nice little cozy home to come home too.

A Warm Spring Walk!

So Stephen and I discovered that we have a very photogenic dog! He loves our Alaskan Adventures!

Stephen and I and a friend of ours were finally able to get out and enjoy spring time in Kodiak. Even thought it looks a bit cold it was actually very, very warm to us. We were out alittle over three hours and Stephen managed to get burnt. We had a great time having Roscoe run back and forth between us. Anyway, it was great to get out and enjoy life in Kodiak.

What We Did!

One may ask, what do you do over spring break if you don't leave the island of Kodiak? Well after this week my husband and I can tell you. His is much more exciting than mine.

Stephen had the opportunity to watch Regis and Kelly almost every more and is now thinking about taping it so we both can enjoy it. Our bathtub no longer leaks and we have a working door knob!!!!! He even got to go rabbit hunting and is a great shot! As you can see he got TWO! He's not the biggest fan of the meat, but still ate it "because that's what you gotta do."

There are so many more amazing highlights, but the one Stephen says he'll always remember is being able to see, for the first time ever, the Walmart cheer! It had him smiling all day.

As for my spring break, I'm just thankful it's done and the kids will be spending their days at school instead of with me! I just hope I can recover quickly:)

Spring Break 2007

So we're staying right here in cold old Kodiak this Spring Break. Stephen has the entire week off, which means I have to work all week because the kids that are normally at school are with me all day long!

I've said it plenty of times, but we've had a very long, and cold winter and just when we thought Spring was in the air, it started to snow and the temp dropped below zero. Today has been the first time we've seen the sun in almost a week.

So Stephen and I thought we'd enjoy the balmy weather by getting out for a Spring Break Tan! If you can't tell from the pictures we're alittle white!!

Anyway, we hope all of you will join with us in our prayers for spring.

Day on the Lake

The wind has been blowing!!! in Kodiak for over a week and it's not the nice warm wind. It's the cold, bite you in the nose and chill you to the bone wind. With that said Stephen, Roscoe and I decided to brave the windy elements and head out to one of the State Parks. When we got there we found a beautiful frozen lake (we knew the lake was there but hadn't realized it was frozen). So we raced back to the car and got our ice skates and spent the afternoon on the lake.

Roscoe loved it but his little feet got pretty cold. So, as you can seen in the picture Stephen helped him out alittle bit.

Just Another Week

I was greeted in the mail on Monday by the familar letter with Jury Duty written on front. I've hardly been a resident for a year, and the entire month on April I have Jury Duty. Wow! I wonder what the Lord has planned with this.

The table Stephen is eating off of is new! A friend up here made it for us! We love it, and I really think the food tastes better when we eat off it!

The weather has been extremely cold here! You can see the snow flying around up on the mountains because of the wind. We're really looking forward to Spring.
