SNOW MUCH FUN!!

The days are longer and the temperatures are MUCH warmer... Yesterday peaked at about 20F! As if things couldn't possibly get any better, the Good Lord gifted us with about 8 inches of fresh snow! The kiddos spent most of the afternoon playing outside and digging out a snow fort. Anna can't wait for her Papi to return from Arkansas so they can go snowmachining.

Yum, Yum!!! Who wants to dig out a snow fort when you can feast on the snow instead!

Santa's "sweet" ride

Why hitch up the whole reindeer team for a quick trip into town when at the push of a button you can just start up the "iron dog" and GO!

Sorry, Donner.

Valentine Day Swim

Everyone is sooo tired! This morning everyone had to get up at 6, 7-ish to go their separate ways. Mom and Katie went to a first communion class. Papi, Andrew, Stephen, and I went to my Valentine Day Swim meet in Fairbanks. Everyone who swam in the meet did really well! I did a lot better in this meet than in the last one, and cut time off of all of my events. I had a GREAT TIME!!

Thank you Papi, Andrew, and Stephen for being so patient with me at my meet (it was 6 hours long)! Here is a picture Andrew took of my arms after my swim meet! All the marks tell me when and in what lanes I'm swimming! Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Grandma's visit!

Check out this awesome ice slide!! It was one of the many sculptures at the North Pole Christmas in Ice Park. This picture is only part of the slide, it was way too big to fit in one picture!
