We lived with my parents the month of June while Jesse uhauled his way to Alaska. The boys and I flew to Alaska July 6th while Jesse was in New York doing some training. We had a great time with friends and family while in Utah. We are currently living in Eagle River Alaska and enjoying it so far. The weather is an adjustment. I never thought I would crave the blazing Vegas rays. Today was about 60 degrees and rainy. I will post a few pictures of our adventures the last couple of months. I am sorry that I did not get the chance to tell all my LV friends goodbye. I miss all of you and wish I had more time that last month.
Jesse and his dad drove our stuff all the way here (3400 miles) This is a picture of them at Lake Louise Canada. Thank you Gordon for doing this for us. Jesse really enjoyed the time he was able to spend with you. There were a few lakes that were still frozen!

We are living in the basement apartment of another family here in Eagle River. They are both police officers. I help out with their four boys and cook dinner 3 days a week in exchange for cheaper rent. They are good boys but it has been a big adjustment. I would love good meal ideas if anyone has any to share!

Welcome to Eagle River. I have been here just over 10 years, (from sunny California) and still have not adjusted to the weather. It is beautiful though. Thanks for posting a link to my site. I got you down for 4 entries so far.
I was so sad when I realized you were gone and we didn't get to say goodbye! My brother was going to move to Idaho, but has decided to stay there, so we will be up that way, just not next month, maybe for thanksgiving? Are you leaving alaska anytime soon or for the holidays? That area is so beautiful and your kids will have such wonderful memories! Keep posting, it will be great to see you again whenever we make it up there!
oh, ps, I love EVERYDAY FOOD, but I know in Alaska fresh food is harder to come by, so maybe crockpot meals?
So glad you are there! We miss you here too :-) It looks very pretty there! Can't wait to see more updates!
I'm so sad I didn't get to say goodbye before you left, but am so glad you have this blog so we can keep in touch. What an adjustment you will be growing through. I hope everything smooths itself out.
I am so glad you have landed and all is well! I am bummed we didn't get to say good bye! Check out on my blog list...Tasty Kitchen. It stems from the Pioneer Woman but is open for people to post their own recipes! Are you guys getting some good seafood?
We miss you!!! Please keep blogging so we can keep in touch!
Hi Brooke, I'm so glad you are posting and that you made it all the way there! We sure do miss you at Activity Days and the co-op. How is Jesse's program going?
Brooke! It was so good to see how you guys are doing. Tyson still is asking when he can play with Matthew and Drew again. I love the 101 things to do with a crock pot book. I use it 2 to 3 times a week! We sure miss you guys!!!
So glad that you made it! You'll have to fill us in on everything and how you handled the flight with just you and those fun boys :) I am sure you have stories to tell. When I come upon recipes I will sure to send them your way.
Yay!! I'm glad you finally posted something! I have been thinking about you...I hope your adjustment has been going okay. HOw are the boys liking it so far? Keep updating...I can't wait to hear more!
