Okay- no more slacking on my part. It has just been crazy around here! But I am sure it will be this way until 2008 rolls around- so I can't put bloggin' off anymore. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! Our Turkey Day was fun! We had a ham lunch with Sam's mom and then the turkey dinner with another side of his family. Yes- 2 big meals- 1 day!! And of course I hit the big After-Turkey Day Sales (by myself I might add- man I miss my sisters!!). Although I did meet up with some friends while shopping and then later for the craft fair and lunch. All in all it was a fun weekend.
Now preparations for the BIG holiday are underway. We put some of our Christmas decor up today. I will post pictures once we get the tree up.
People who do not live up here always want to know the latest on our weather so I will try to include the highlights every so often. Lately our weather has been so WEIRD! We had like 6 inches of snow about 10 days ago and now- NADA!!!! It warmed up to high 30s, low 40s and has been RAINING! Not typical November Alaska weather that's for sure. To be honest- we just can't wait for the snow to come back!! Here are a couple pictures before it all melted away.
Sam took Si for a ride on the snowmachine. A quick ride around our property turned into a half an hour. But Silas had SO much fun despite the coldness! Isn't the sky so pretty in this picture!?!
I just had to put this on! I meant to do it right after it happened but just got busy with Thanksgiving. Here is Brookie with her first OUCHY on her forehead! Kind of a crappy picture- but if I could get her to sit or stand still for 2 seconds then things would be different.
Sorry we can't blame this one on her learning to walk! This one has Silas written all over it! Funny story- The Monday before Thanksgiving, Silas was pushing his big metal Tonka Dump Truck around the house at full running speed and came around a corner and there was Brookie. The corner right to her forehead knocking her onto her back. It started bleeding instantly and so did the crying. Si kept saying "Sorry!... um it's bleedin" . I took her into the ER expecting a stitch or two but they just glued 2 teeny tiny butterfly tapes over it. Since she had absolutely no sign of a concussion we were done in just over an hour - Thank goodness! So one trip to the ER down- and wishful thinking, hopefully no more to go!

Hi Sam and Jamie!! Rick actually left a comment on your blog a while back I dont know if you got it or not. Rick says Hi and I cant even tell you how jealous he is that you guys are living in Alaska. He has been trying to move back up there since we have been married. I suprised that I got him home to marry me. Hopefully we will make it up there someday. Great to hear from you and your kids are adorable:)
Oh my what a fun time you have been having.:) I love the snow pics and am kinda jealous of it. Hopefully there will be snow in Snowflake so it will feel somewhat like Christmas. But I am glad you guys are doing great.
What a sad little "bonk!" Poor thing. I am definalely jealous of the snow! Utah hasn't had much this year...so much for snowboarding. Hopefully sometime soon! Oh and don't feel bad about eating two BIG meals on Thanksgiving. I ate two too! Plus, one the next day and then one the day after that!
Happy Holidays to you and your fam!
