Where The World Gets To Know You

Our Beautiful Fireweed/Beach Girls!

Our girls love the fireweed flowers! Adriana picks them all the time for me and I've gotten a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers delivered to me at work with all the summer colors from Drew! Aawww, isn't that sweet!? I gotta find the recipe for the fireweed jelly, they say it's delicious!

Addie Enjoying her time in Naknek

Not to worry mom, Addie loves it here! We're keeping her active,entertained and the girls of course love her around! She spends time on the computer chatting with kids at home, you guys need internet at home so you can chat with her. Like the pictures? Lol! She's also very happy to have a swimming pool near and finally learned to hold her breath longer! She's a good swimmer!

Night walk around our house and to the beach

If you were here, you'd love where our house is located. We live in a woodsy area where we're surrounded by birch trees, willows, tall grasses, and lots of fire weed flowers. After a hot day in Naknek, there's nothing like a night stroll through the woods and to the beach. It was too funny, I get a kick out of Drew when it's time for pictures,he say's one is enough, but I can't help but take pictures of beautiful scenery,background and our family! Addie is an awesome photographer.

Seeing DOUBLE...DOUBLE MINT TWINS!!!!!!!

Seeing Double? Maybe two sets of twins! This was too cute and funny, I teased Drew about this. I said," Can you imagine having two sets of twins? Maggie and Molly being our oldest, them looking like him with his genes and Skylar and Adriana looking like me with my genes?!" We just laughed and thought having a house full of kids would be fun! Maddie has a dark shirt on and Molly a green shirt. L-R: Adriana, Maggie, Skylar, Molly. Next one with L-R: Addie,Adriana,Maggie,Skylar,Molly. Can you tell the twins apart? Funny thing is...Maggie and Adriana get along well and act the same personality wise, their tomboyish voices and how much tougher they are from Skylar and Molly. Sky and Molly are so alike, girlish personality, loves looking cute and SO prissy! Lol! Too Cute!

Maggie and Molly have been coming to visit us and they love playing with Adriana and Skylar, oh, and out pets Jasper (siberian husky) and out cute little ferret Nanook. Well, when Addie came here, they stared to come over more, cause she's SO MUCH FUN! LOL! They came over Saturday to hang out after the kids bingo and the community bizaar to watch a couple of movies!

More diving for dollars pictures...

You'll see Addie in one end of the pool and Drew standing near her, he's wearing yellow /black shorts and a gray t-shirt. Addie was looking down in the water for money. Se the girls in the corner looking all cute and shy! And a close up from when I went to tem to encourage them to dive in like the other kids for money.

Diving for dollars at the swimming pool

This week was the Fishtival and yesterday we took the kids to do diving for dollars, swimming with the dinosaurs and kids bingo. Among all other activities going on throughout the community. My little sister Addie came to visit forthe summer and help out with the girls and HOPEFULLY stay and attend school here! She's made friends, you'll see in other pictures here shortly. Here are some of the swim pictures. Maggie is a friend, whose 12, became good friends with Addie along with Molly's twin sister Maggie, was kind enough to share the quarter's and dollar coins with Addie. Addie still needs to learn to hold her breath longer and "pop" her ears so they don't hurt when diving deep. They split 13.00, 6.50 each. Very sweet of Molly, Maggie was a little jealous because she didn't split it with her. Because Molly forgot her bathing suit at home. Anyway, they girls all had fun! Sky and Ana wear a little afraid and nervious, so they kinda hung around the corner waching the kids get all the money. At the end they had none, but when we got home, we gave them some coins so they'd be happy!

First Pictures of Our Baby Boy!

I've had my ultrasound done in Anchorage, turns our we're just having one baby! One REALLY BIG BABY BOY! Drew was saying,"with my family gene's and your's, we're just having a tall baby!" And he's right, you should all see my brother's, ...if you know Drew and I, we're both tall people! Lol! Our baby is just taking after us! Aaawwww! One picture will show his "bottom" with you know what between his legs, yes...It's A Boy! One picture shows his hand just after he closed his fist, after looking like he was waving at us! and a few good head shots! While the lady was doing the u/s it was like he was playing peek-a-boo. We'd see a good profile of him in the light, and he'd move back into the dark. He did this a few times. And looks like he's gonna have Drew's nose and lips! After I told Drew he's having a boy, he said," Now I have a fishing,camping,hunting partner, not that I wouldn't take you girls out or anything!" Lol, I thought that was too cute! He's really excited he's having a boy!

Our Home in Naknek Alaska!

I know you all have been waiting to see what our home looks like! It's huge on the inside. Just a few pictures of the outside of the house. Theres a lake behind our house, I'll get a picture soon. I love our long driveway and we hidden among all the alder brush and a few pine tress.

Our Smoke House

Well, we got it fixed, still need a little more work, but it'll do! I love it, nice and small and now I can get busy with all my fishies! We just did a small batch, fishing yesterday wasn't much. And we have to share the hours,days and the river with the other commercial fishery people! So, Drew did 10 fish you can see them in the back and I did a few strips. We got the smoke going to keep the flies off! Darn bugs! We'll be busy this weekenk and I have next week off, so I'll get busy soon enough!

Five Months Pregnant!

Well, here I am, 5 months pregnant! I know, I look like I'm already due! Lol! But this is really me at 5 mo. Went to my prenatal visit last week and I'm measuring "TOO BIG" is what they said for carrying just one baby. Also, guess what, they (we) all heard two very different heart beats, one on the left side and second on the right side! Pretty freaky considering I've already had twins my first pregnancy, how about the second! We'll I'm 20 weeks now and this is what I look like today! I'll be heading to Dillingham this week for an ultrasound but, if their machine is still down, I'll have to go to Anchorage soon.
