Day at the Playground

After lots of cloudy days, we had a beautiful sunny day and decided we better enjoy it. We went for a long walk and played on the playground near our house. Sarah's favorite is to swing. Luke loves to ride on the motorbike.

The Boys....

Justin and Luke were snuggling on the couch watching TV before 7:00.

I guess they were both tired. :)

Yard Work

We got outside this weekend and planted plants. Luke had a blast getting dirty.....Sarah did too.

HAPPY FOURTH!!!

Happy Fourth!!! We hope everyone had a wonderful day!!!

With such beautiful weather outside, we decided to journey up Old Woman's Mountain behind our house. Here is our neighborhood from above about halfway up on our hike. Our house is the second from the left on the outside street.

We heard it wasn't a bad hike. Well maybe it isn't when you are not carrying two small kids up a very steep rocky path that is never ending.

WE MADE IT!!! It was defnitely worth the calorie burn.

The Emerald Island

Kodiak is known as the Emerald Island. We are beginning to see why. Spring is finally in full swing. The mountains are being carpeted with thick green ferns, grasses, and other green plants. Wild flowers are growing everywhere. God's creation is amazing.

Dress Up with Aunt Caroline

Caroline got Sarah all dolled up. Isn't she cute?

Thank you Oma for my new beads!

Halibut Fishing

We, I mean Justin, decided to be very adventurous and take everyone out halibut fishing. He was a marvelous captain. We ended up catching 8 halibut, 1 cod, and lots of rockfish (Luke nicknamed them- poky fish or ugly fish).

Luke loves to reel his little pole and was desperately trying to catch a fish so while I distracted him, Justin put one of the baitfish on and cast it for him. Luke was so proud of his fish. He wanted to hold it and take a picture with it.
