Addie doll came home from the doll hospital today. Beautifully wrapped and all fixed up. Peach was so happy to see her, actually we were both really excited to her. And another plus of living in a small town was when the postal woman knew exactly what it was and that Addie was home from the hospital!

My turn for Soup Monday! Each Monday at work someone from the staff brings in three or four crock-pots full of soup to share with the staff. So if you sign up for Soup Monday, each Monday you have a free lunch. I always forget it's Monday until I walk in the staff lounge and smell the yummy soup. Anyway it was my turn to make the soup for Soup Monday and thankfully Aaron was home to help me get it all made.

An adorable picture of a sweet doll. Naomi is missing her Addie doll, but she did get a chance to play with Anna's Kirsten doll yesterday at the Ladies Breakfast. Anna is an adorable young lady who we watched grow up. She was nine when we first moved to Kodiak and her and Clara and Emma (our neighbors at the time) loved to play dolls. I can remember watching the girls play dolls on the front yard next door and just wishing for the day when I would have my own little girl to play dolls with.

Wow what a gorgeous day it was today. Kodiak was the warmest spot in the whole state at 48 degrees. I spotted this beautiful sunrise from the front room today, so we hurried out to catch it. The sunrise was beautiful but when two fishing boats came through the channel one going out for the day and the other bringing in a catch it was picture perfect.

This bread was smiling at me! Sadly, the smiling bread wasn't a sign that today was going to be a carefree day. See that little girl holding the smiley bread? Her and I were in and out of school before 8:30. We spent the day home sick on the couch. Thankfully she is feeling much better tonight.

A great way to practice spelling words. Eli and I have been practicing for the Bee this week and Caleb and Naomi are practicing their weekly spelling lists.

Day 51

Now how did those get up there?

49/365 & 50/365 Plus More

I have a feeling this may become more of a real blog than just pictures. I don't know if I can keep up two blogs and sometimes I really want to post more than just one picture a day.
In all reality I accidentally deleted the picture from day 49 so these pics are from today.
First up is a picture of Eli and his friend Gabe and our handsome Caleb. Eli had his first ever sleep over last night with three kids from his class at school. They had a blast, stayed up late and ate tons of junk food. But I deleted the pic I remembered to take (excuse me I sent Aaron out to take) at 11:49. Whoops.
So here is what we are calling Day 49



Day 50 which was today...I took some more pics in the blowy snow we had today.

And now to totally ruin the one pic a day thing I'm posting an additional really neat picture I took today.

And just to let you know I took these pics in Av mode! So happy with how they came out today.

It warmed up a little bit and the winds dyed down so we took a trip out to one of our favorite places Fort Abercrombie. Here the kids are on top of the museum bunker.


And where would we be with out an update from our globe trotting bathroom tourista!

Forced myself out of bed to post this one. Not a great pic, drove all over town today looking for a good outdoor shot but it was really cold and windy. This
guy was hanging out on some crab pots.

I'm a cheater pants! I didn't even touch my camera today which is something I have done everyday since I got the new one. However, I did take some pics yesterday at dance and had a chance to use some really cool lenses that Carol Scott was nice enough to let me try. Peach goes to dance and I get a camera lesson! Fun for both of us! Except now I really, really want a new lens!

I just love to find that one warm spot where the sun comes shining in the window. Such a beautiful sunny day but really, really cold with high winds. Aaron took this picture for me.

42/365 & 43/365

Two for one special tonight!
Peach and I went to a super fun Valentines party at her friend Julia's house last night. There was a scavenger hunt, and games and all kinds of yummy goodies to eat. And best of all Julia has a swing in her house! Peach just thought that was the neatest thing ever.


Sadly one cute little dolly ended the night on a bad foot(well she just lost her footing). There was a tragic accident and there were many, many tears from sweet Peach for her poor Addy doll. Thankfully she is completely fixable and is off to the doll hospital for some much needed R&R and a little bit of therapy. All of the girls at the party wrote Get Well notes to Addy Doll and gave Peach hugs and feel better soon notes as well.

Fabulous forty pictures. Took my camera around town on this gorgeous afternoon. Shout out to you Zach!

My shadow. This little gal is my BFF always right with me no matter where I am in the house. Cooking, cleaning or just relaxing she is right by my side. I just love her so much. Sticking close to mom gets you lots of picture for 365 and every time I get out the camera Peach asks,"Is this for 365?" When school started up again in January Peach started packing the lunches for me each night. She just loves that she gets to pick out whatever she wants to go in the bags for each day. She even writes cute notes for her brothers and sticks them inside.

Peach is back at dance class she had her first class and I had a great chat with Carol Scott who is a great photographer here in Kodiak. She gave me a lot to chew on and wish list of lenses.
I edited this picture a bit in picasa. Just playing around with the effects

36 & 37/365

Picture 36 is a picture of the Alaska map Eli made in 4th grade just before I threw it away. I know that's bad but it was taking up way to much room in my garage

Picture 37 is a picture of the T-bone steaks we had for dinner tonight from the ranch. They were yummy! And when you are taking a picture everyday you really run out of interesting things. So you got meat today.

35/365

Open Gym and Game Night with our church family was a blast tonight. Eli enjoyed hanging out with the ladies!

34/365

A quickie pic of my BIG girl helper making scrambled eggs for dinner. I know that it's a terrible pic but that's because the pancakes were burning! Phew day 34 done amidst the week of sickness. Looking like everyone will make it to school tomorrow!

33/365

Twin Night at Awana tonight.

Beautiful sunny day today. I just wish you could add sound to photo's because these waves were really crashing against the rocks.
