2015 Halloween

The older girls went out with friends to trick or treat so we took Madi and Merek out and they did awesome! 

Enjoying Fall

We have been enjoying fall and still getting used to the fact that in Soldotna we have seasons unlike when we lived up north. The leaves are still on the trees and we have been able to still enjoy bike rides and running together as a family. 

Merek playing in the mud and me messing around about having to take him home and clean him up later:)

First Day of School

Today the girls started this years school. Lexi started middle school, 7th grade, at Skyview so she had to wake up earlier but gets home earlier. Her first day was a success. She was astonished how fast the day went. She likes her new teachers and had her good friends and some new friends she made to hangout with at lunch. 

lex embarrassed of mom taking her picture in front of one of her friends, whose mom said hey i just did that too lol!

Mia and Madison started 5th and 3rd grade this year. Mia was so excited she woke us all up at 5 am lol! They like their new teachers and were soooo excited to see and be with their friends again. Their first day back was a success! They go school at a different time, later than lex so they rode their bikes to school together, something they love doing.

Too Cool!

Madi and Mia all ready to go!

Off they go!!!


We are all looking forward to this new and awesome year!

Beautiful Night For A Bike Ride

Nic and Nat Make A Twin Log Bed Together

 

We decided to do a side project, as if we dont have enough projects lol, and we built a bed together. We got a white spruce and Natalie stripped the bark off of them with a machete, then Nic cut them to size. We then sanded them after they dried for a couple of days. We got our bed dimensions and cut the 2x4s and 1x3s for the cross members that the mattress lays on. Then we lacquered it so that the wood will stay looking good over time. It turned out pretty cool! Now we have it up to sell:)

 

we weren't ready for the pic... try again

us happy with our finished product:)

Afterwards we enjoyed some ice cream, here's merek after he scarfed his down lol! He loves mint chocolate like his mommy and daddy!
