A First

A few weeks ago, we went to Anchorage and saw the Lion King. I asked the boys to wear ties for the first time. Alex was agreeable despite his excitement in the pictures. It was a great show.

Labor Day Weekend

We finally took the boys to the AK state fair. It's a big deal to the kid world, and somehow we managed to avoid it all these years. Tad and I did insist on one hike on our way to the fair. The first picture was taken at the top of the tram trail at Alyeska in Girdwood. The rest were from the first evening at the fair. We spent a second, full day at the fair but forgot the camera. When we sat down to dinner that night, Alex exclaimed, "Today was the best day of my life." I can't believe we didn't have the camera to document the best day of his life!

Fall

The first photo is from early in our fall season. The boys came home from school and went to the back yard to play. I look out the window and they are running around with fish nets catching falling leaves. I had to get the camera out and capture that happy parent moment. The rest of the photos are from this past weekend. Tad and the boys did all the raking and then took a moment to enjoy their hard work.

THE cutest Rock Band ever!

I'm a little behind on getting these pictures posted. My sister and her family were here in July. And, the couple of people who read the last post were possibly waiting for a "Summer Highlights part II." It's been so long, I can't remember where I was going with that...Anyway, when my sister was here we got the Rock Band out and the kids got into it. They can be really cute sometimes.

Tim is our best drummer. As you can see, he is very focused.

Alaina rocks Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive"

We'll have to videotape Alex sometime. He gets very into the music. He also has a very unique thumb technique...
