We Took Two Years Off!!!

Life seems to just fly by..... It has been two years since our last post. Everyday for the last two years I think about getting on and blogging. I laugh everyday at my beautiful children and the funny things they say. Then I realized that blogging is like a daily journal, and realize that this is it, what I need at night....to relax and recap..

Blake and I laugh everyday at all the funny things our kids do, and we always say how we need to write it down, but we don't...so here we go, we both commit to start blogging our memories.....

More Pics From Alaska

There are so many pictures of Alaska, I picked some of our favorites to show off...

Fishing on the Kenai River on Grandpa's boat....

One of the fishing trips we took we had to fly a float plane to a small river to fish for salmon. It was a blast. We each were able to catch 3 silvers each, but guess what I got lucky again and caught the biggest one!!!

Besides fishing a lot, we ate a lot!! I remember never once feeling any hunger on our trip, it was great... These pics we are at a little restaurant called Buckets.

Killian and Mom... we went to this awesome store that had these huge wood carvings you could get on, unfortunately Killian was hungry, so he was not very willing to smile, but this picture turned out ok....



Killian and Daddy riding on the 4-wheeler at the Cabin...

So Grandma felt bad that Killian did not have any toys at the Cabin, so her and Killian went to the store, and Grandma let Killian pick out what he wanted. Of course he picked the most annoying toy that the store sold. The talking firetruck. The damn thing never shut up, Killian loved it, but every night we were singing to ourselves, out loud and in our sleep... "I sure put that fire out fast....."






We did see one bear while we were there. It was while we were driving, Grandpa spotted it. Blake and I jumped out of the car and got some pictures. The moose was right outside the airport in Anchorage on the side of the road also.

We took an all day sight seeing cruise... It was amazing to see how beautiful Alaska is. Here are some pics from our cruise....

TRIP TO ALASKA

This summer we got the chance to go to Alaska. I had no idea what kind of impact Alaska would have on me. Usually on vacation I am a mess, worrying about the house and Ruffledale, thinking it is all going to fall apart while I am gone. Not in Alaska, all my worries just disapeared, if I could just fly the dogs up we might just become an Alaskan native. Not only was it the most beautiful place I have ever been it was fun as hell for all of us.

The grandparents (Guy and Domani) have been trying to get us to go for a couple of years and now they will not be able to keep us away!

So the best part of Alaska was all the fishing.

Grandpa decided we needed to go catch some halibut, so we went out for a day for a halibut trip. As we are sitting on the boat I remember our conversation going something like this....


TeAnna Says "So Dad, what is the biggest halibut you have ever caught."

Dad Replies "Probably about 120 pounds."

TeAnna "Holy Shit, that is a big fish, that would be pretty cool."




then after about 5 minutes.......




I feel a fish bite, for some reason I feel as if my fishing pole is broken, the damn thing is not bringing the fish in. I start complaining to the guide, and he laughs it off telling me it is just a big fish, about 20 minutes later and some help from Blake this is what I caught......

















How cool is that... This fish was 5" 2" and weighed in at 130 pounds. Yep, bigger then me and my Dad's fish... hehe

What is Going On!

So because we are just starting out I thougt I would talk a little on the past......

It has been 3.5 years since Blake and I tied the knot...although we have known each other before we could even drive. When I think back, I realize if life continues to move this quickly I will soon need a hip replacement and have all gray hair, to hell with dying it.

Anyway, when I look at our little boy, Killian A.K.A "Little Mister," I can not believe how fast he is growing up. It is really neat watching him grow and develop, but a piece of me feels sad seeing him becoming a little boy, I will miss my little baby boy.

I remember his first smile, it happened on April 23, 2007, 4 weeks after he was born. Of course he smiled at his Daddy first.


This picture was taken that day, I was sooo mad that he smiled at Blake first. That of course was not the only thing I would be mad about, he also thought "daddy" should be his first word. Mommy was not his second word either, can you guess what it was.....well if you guessed "dog"

There are so many memories about Killian I already have, I could blog for days. So I will just start from the present time now....

Here Goes!

So me and Blake have been so excited to start a Blog for our family and friends...and we have started one and then erased it...we keep running into one problem...TIME...is there really enough time in a day to accomplish anything!
