Me and My SWEET little Valentine's!

ALASKA

In July of 2008 I had the great opportunity to go on a week vacation to Alaska for my best friend's daughters wedding. During the week we enjoyed spending time in the city of anchorage and also roughing it in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a high quality porta-potty built by the groom, Dave. It was the chance of a LIFETIME!

THE GLACIER

The Wildlife in Alaska was AMAZING. It was my favorite part of the whole trip. Here is the grizzly bear that joined us while we were fishing and the mommy moose and her baby who where taking a stroll in our front yard.





SALMON fishing and WHALE watching!

At the Zoo

Stephanie and Brian at Stephanie's favorite exhibit since she was little...the hippo's. Best friends Ashlynn and Brooklyn. Emily and Taidan. All my little grandkids minus Kaydra. Drakers!!

Brian's Family!

My son, Brian and his beautiful family. Taidan, Brian, Ashlynn, Brynlee, and his wife Emily on a family hike in Estes Park.

All My Grandkids on Halloween!

I got to spend Halloween with all of my grandkids! They looked so cute all dressed up. Taidan- the pirate, Kaydra-Wendy, Brynlee-the mermaid, Ashlynn- Belle, Brooklyn-Tinkerbelle, and Drake- peterpan! After trunk-or-treating, we had birthday cake to celebrate Ashlynn's third birthday. She loved the purple cake I got her! It was GREAT!

Toothless

Kaydra has already lost 3 teeth! She lost her first one in June before she even became a kindergartner. She was nervous at first when she felt it was loose because she thought it was an angely tooth like grandmas (ha ha). But to her surprise it was loose which meant to her that this was the first stepping stone to becoming an adult! Toothfairy came that night and brought her 4 quarters and a sucker and left a trail of pixie dust.

First Day of School!

This is Brooklyn's first day of Preschool! Isn't she such a big girl

This is my oldest Grandchild Kaydra on her first day as a kindergartner.
