This girl is a bookworm, and I mean she reads All. The. Time. Her favorite reading material is usually Junie B. Jones and one of her story Bible's. Tonight she was all about the news. Friday's news that is because we are now getting about three days worth of news in one day since the Kodiak Daily Mirror is printing their papers in Fairbanks and Goldstreaking them to Kodiak. When the weather is to bad for flying (like 80% of the time) we get a bunch of days worth of outdated news at once. Anyways, a picture of reading girl. I Love Her!
One Whole Month Done!

Today was Eli's 11th Birthday. We had a great at home party today with a bunch of really cool kids. This picture was with the flash, I took some better ones on the Av mode without flash and they were better, but they were all of Caleb. Somehow I had no pictures of Peach?

Anyway Happy Birthday Eli!

25/365 The REAL star of Top Gun

Direct quote from Aaron "People think that Tom Cruise is the star of Top Gun but their wrong. The REAL star of Top Gun is the F-14 Tom Cat!" Caleb put this model together tonight all by himself. That boy loves building things.

We are reading through the Chronicles of Narnia again. And I took this picture with my brand new really early birthday present my new camera (la, la, la) Can't wait to try it out during daylight hours.

23/365

I headed over to a friends house today on the same street our dear friends Beth and Zach used to live on. I have to admit I got a little bit sad when I saw their old house. We miss you guys so much!

The Pioneer Woman and I took a little trip to White Sands Beach today. I practiced with the Av setting on the camera. I took about 80 pictures and only about 5 are worth anything. I have a long way to go!!!! But practice makes perfect and I plan on doing a lot more practicing. This is the one I liked the best.

21/365

Oh my goodness 21 pictures! I went to the pool with intention of practicing my new shooting techniques the Pioneer Woman has been teaching me online but I didn't bring the CF card. DOH! Peach and her friend Vaughn at the pool tonight

He Won! The district spelling bee that is! The winning words were fracture, equator and horizon. We are beyond proud and busy planning a trip to Anchorage.

I have been playing around with the camera settings on my digital SLR. I figured I should learn how to use it in manual mode before I purchase a new one. I was really happy with the results and can't wait to learn more. I just wish we had better lighting right now, its been cold and gray for days.

18/365 Nerds are Hot now, right?

I'm beginning to realize that these pic's aren't going to be the best quality but its about the memory right? My nerd boys at Chess Club.

The CG Firehouse is a REALLY hard place to work

 

Especially when stuff like this happens

 

15 & 16 of 365

Well yesterday was a BUSY day! I took the picture for the day but didn't get to post it. Day 15 is my new color I had done on Saturday. Still purple but I toned down the blonde with some highlights and lowlights. I LOVE it!

 

Day 16
We have had lots of snow this year. We had a few warm days and lost all of our Christmas snow but its BACK! The kids have been having a blast playing in the new snow

Eli won the Spelling Bee! He is headed to the district wide Bee against Elementary and Middle Schoolers next Thursday. We are so proud of him. His very good friend Ize is going as well, each school sends two kids. It was a great day for him and we are very proud!

This my followers is what is called Distance Education via the Center for Rural and Community Development in Fairbanks, AK. Notice the postage paid envelopes and the lesson cover sheets. That's right people I get to print out my lessons and mail them to the instructor, who will grade them and mail them back to me. Silly people there is an easier way, Technology for All!

Now this is a little ridiculous! Easter candy in January? Right next to the Valentine candy and the discounted Christmas candy. Now as soon as they get these little babies in I will one happy chick!

11/365 Whistling Dixie

Naomi taught herself to whistle, and she is ALWAYS whistling. It's like living with a canary.

Ok, Here is picture number 10! Here we see the two fella's who have been fixing our shoddy soffets for the last week. Apparently the original construction of the house was completly backwards like literally! All of our soffets were installed backwards, the facing along the roof line was also not done correctly. We discovered this after a wind storm in November. USAA is footing the bill of 6000 to replace all the soffets and the facing and new gutters. Thank goodness for Homeowners. This picture was taken by Eli, after I took a picture without the card in the camera. When I went to get it off the camera I found various pictures of tools, ladders and scaffolding but none of the house. He did ask the guys to stop and pose, when they asked him if he was writing a report he said 'NO, my mom wants a picture for her blog'

Peach is one of the VIP's of her class this month. She is most excited about getting to eat lunch in the classroom with her teacher. We worked on this banner over the weekend. Aaron is stuck in Anchorage, bummer.......

 

8/365

This is what happens when you leave the camera unattended! I had already taken the 365 pic for the day but when I went to get it off the camera I found multiple "other" pics. So this picture represents the shenanigans Mom doesn't see!

 

7/365

I got to see my best friend all the way across the world in the Netherlands tonight. It was awesome! I love technology!

Chocolate Seller! Did pretty good today, sold over 20 bars in his first day. All proceeds go to his class Camp Woody trip this year.

5/365

So this is really not a great picture because it was taken on the iphone but it is what is and is what today was. Today we ate THE BEST burgers ever and I mean that they were so good we were yumming (yep that's a word)our way through lunch. Plus they also serve fresh cut fries! Yummy! Funny thing is when I went to post this picture for today I discovered that Becca posted a burger pic for her 365 pic.

Peach especially requested a pick up from school by Daddy, so of course he picked her up. Normally she rides the school bus.

 

3/365 Maypo Mistake

Funny thing happened this morning. I started a pot of Maypo on the stove and left Mom in the kitchen to keep an eye out while I went to get dressed. I walked back in the kitchen to find mom stirring the pot furiously and exclaiming "I sure hope you made the six servings, its practically the whole box when you make that much!" You see I had added six cups of water and milk to which one would add a cup and a half of Maypo. She saw the six at the top of the recipe and added SIX cups of Maypo! We laughed and I of course snapped a pic what a perfect pic for today.
