Henry loves to move!

Henry is so happy on his changing table. He will move so fast and coo so loud. He looks like he is running on his back. He would probably play there all day if we didn't have other things to do.

Alyeska Ski Weekend

We took the boys down to Girdwood, 30 minutes south of Anchorage for a weekend getaway. We stayed at the Hotel Alyeska where we were able to ski out of. Nate and I took turns on Saturday skiing.

Braxton couldn't wait to hit the slopes. 

Nate skied but not as much as Braxton and I. Nate made sure that I had plenty of time to be out on the mountain. It was incredible! The view was amazing. Braxton needed little reminding of how to ski, "I know mom." He really did know he picked up really quick and had a blast even when he did an accidental front flip down the hill.

Hank was just happy to play with Luke and dad in the hotel room. Luke also had fun he loves staying at "our hotel" he calls it. We also got to swim on Friday night for about 10 minutes. The boys didn't care how short it was, they were just happy to go.

Happy Easter!

We had a beautiful Easter. It began with snow! We had a wonderful day going to church and spending time with neighbors and friends.

We had brunch and an Easter egg hunt with our neighbors before church. Anthony and Alex are on the couch with Brax. Jake and Alyssa are by Luke.

We finished the day having dinner with the Schow's. The kids had a good time dying eggs!

Mush, Gee and Ha!

New words we got to use from our Alaskan vocabulary

 Our dear friends the Schow's invited us on Saturday to a dog sled race. Their friend Kelly is preparing his dogs for the Iditarod in 2011, so he invited Hayden (green 10) and Tate (blue 8) their son's to do a Junior relay race for Easter. We had such a great time. Nate and I both got to run our own dog sled while following Kelly. We had such a great time!

Yes that is me, with Brax in the sled.

We love bowling

We have found a new family outing that we all enjoy. Bowling has been something fun for us to do while it is cold and dark out. 
Braxton is working on not using the bumpers. He doesn't want them up anymore.
Luke likes to take the heaviest ball to throw down the lane. He has great posses too.

Happy Birthday Bjorn!

After Henry came home my cousin had a birthday since we were the only family around he was forced to have Birthday dinner with us. He and his wife Beth are so much fun. They love the boys, Beth wears them out for us so they sleep really well after they leave.
