Family Pictures

While in Utah we were lucky enough to have my good friend Heidi do our family pictures. The pictures were taken in the Hansen's beautiful backyard. Thanks for the pictures Heidi!


My brother Nate and his nephews


Mom and Dad


Ken and Barbie!


Brother Ryan, wife Jessica, and Kaleb (Kaleb wasn't that into the family photo shoot)


My wonderful parents and their lovely grandsons


They are all taken but one, sorry! Nate is still available if there are any single, hot women reading this.


This is our first family picture, pathetic I know.

We made it to Alaska

My last post announced we were moving to Alaska and we have finally arrived. I know the suspense was probably killing you. I once heard that moving is right next to death and divorce when it comes to stressful events. I have not experienced death nor divorce and never want to! I dread the day we have to pack up and move again.

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!


Cousin Kaleb and Drew at the Brigham Pool. We miss you Caleb



Drew



Matthew

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!


Matthew and Tyler playing video games. (Tyler is 7 years old) It didn't take long for Matthew to get hooked on video games
