My Alaskan Adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my friends I just got back from Alaska and what a trip it was. Here let me show you a few things I did.


              Here's me racing in the Iditarod
  

Man what a race. It got 40 below some nights. But those wool booties I knitted sure came in handy.





Just joking. But seriously I did get to meet Sarah Palin. I ran into her at the local grocery. I didn't realize she lived in Wasilla where my sister lived. Small world.

      The local bears were nice enough to let me take a picture with them . They must be used to tourists

     There were a lot of 1st's in Alaska besides the Iditarod and meeting Sarah I tried Sushi and Sake for the 1st time.

Note to self Sake Sucke's. Yuck. My nephew thought it was hilarious.



I loved being with my family. These handsome guys are my nephews. They actually wanted to hang out with their Aunt and play board games and watch movies.  I love them so.

                 



That's me waaaaaaay in the back. About to go down the Great Mountain on a sled.

                                                      Me scared never. It was just a little cold.



                                                   We got some hot cocoa afterwards. Yummy!

                 

  Here is a pic of a Lodge me and my sis went to on my last day there.

                



    CHEERS!!!!!!!! To my Sis and the life's we lead. The memories we make and this great adventure called life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                        I love you!

JFK OBSSESION

We went to Dallas this weekend and had a good time. Well it looks like Aidan is not having a good time but that is Aidan and that is a different story.

Here we are at our hotel relaxing.

 

                                         





                                           Here we are at the Museum.

                                         

                                          And here folks is where we spent most of our time.(for those of you who don't know this is where JFK was assassinated. And that building in the background is where the shooter shot him.)

  
        

                                           Elijah pointing to the spot he was shot.

                                       


                                                 X marks the spot.

                                          The grassy knoll

                  

                                         By the way Elijah told me this was the best day ever. I have never seen him so fascinated by something like this. It was like he was at DisneyWorld or something. I am sure Aidan wish it was DisneyWorld. Don't worry little brother one day you will be fascinated by something great.

Alaska or Bust!!!!!

I am going to Alaska! I am going to Alaska! Guess what? I am going to Alaska to see my sister!

Oh my gosh. I really cant believe I will be going to Alaska by myself in 2 1/2 weeks. Yes my friends my husband sucumed to buying my ticket to see my sissy who I havn't seen in a year folks. That and Daddy is leaving for Florida AGAIN when I get back.


 The last time I went to Alaska was 4 years ago. I was together with both my sisters.

Day 6 and counting without Daddy!

Well friends I can't say it has been an easy week.


My little Aidan Cole has had a pretty rough week. First the flu, then when we thought we where in the clear a bad earache came and hurt my baby for 4 days. Today is better though Mommy!

Mama is so thankful that her little guy is feeling better because now Mama has the yucky! ( Sorry I can't show you my face because it is to yucky.)

Outside has the Yucky too!!!!!!!

So we are inside trying to stay away from the Yucky thanking God for his mercies and that Daddy will hopefully ( canceled flight today because of the Blizzard)be home soon.

Hmmmmmm I was just thinking didn't this happen last time Daddy was gone....lets check

                                             

                                                   Blizzard. Check

                                            sick kids. Check

Okay Daddy no more trips in January. We still love you though.

Day 3 without Daddy!

Well I am still alive!!!

 

 

 

So far we have had a sick little guy

and a happy guy who mama got to go with to the Omniplex on his class field trip .( Thanks Nana for watching my sick little guy) Don't worry Aidan mama will take you when you are all better.

Other then that just the usual cleaning, no sleep, daily mama life.


Maybe later when I get some sleep I will come up with more createtivity. ( is that how you spell it)
 

Anticipating the week without Daddy

Anticipation-realization in advance; foretaste. You reduce the stress of some difficult challenge by anticipating what it will be like and preparing for how you are going to deal with it".

    




Daddy left this morning to Florida for work for a whole week!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah tough job being out there in the 80 degree weather but somebody has to do it!

We all remember last time what happened when Daddy left.

and this

at least we have our faithful watch dog to keep us safe.

So please remember me and the boys throughout this long week. And if you feel like praying for us do. Keep us safe, healthy and happy Dear Lord this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your loving and stressed out daughter Kelli



Stay tuned for more adventures through out the week...............................
