Lots of family and fun

Neighbors took some photos of our boat from a distance. You can see how close those whales were! Just awesome.

Humpback putting on a show!


Uncle Sandy, Aunt Cheryl, Ed and I. They visited Juneau on a cruise ship and spent a few hours with us. It is a real treat to have family come see us!

Ed's sisters (Jennifer, Caryn, Stephanie (having a little girl this fall), and Kathy).

Summer fun

With the big boys gone, the house has been very quiet. We took Caden casting at Twin Lakes. It was very windy but he did pretty good.

He loves fishing...hmmm, wonder where he gets that from?


I am obsessed with my flowers in my front yard. FINALLY the delphinium bloomed. It is a psychadelic blue/purple color. I love it.

As you can see, it is taller than me (5'4") but there are not many things that can get smaller.

This one is just a silly shot in the yard with the dog. We miss those big boys but know they are having so much fun.

Busy and fun summer so far!

Caden helps Ed blow out the candle on the Father's Day cake!

We celebrated Father's Day pretty low key. Just cake!

The only picture from the camping trip to St. James Bay cabin. Caden and Colton went swimming in the ocean. brrrrr. They did not last long! It was an awesome weekend.

Cute Caden

Fun in the tub!

I have not updated my blog in awhile. Mostly because I have been a slacker with the camera! I promise to be better this month! Stay tuned for the post on the Declaration of Indepence document we saw!

Simple Sunday

Boating this past Sunday. Caden at the wheel!

Ed & Caden sharing the wheel? Maybe someday!

A rare moment of cooperation between brothers. No, Devin is really sweet with Caden. He is helping him color!

Colton "camping" with the boys next door. Yeah...that IS a poker table. What you don't see is the TV and radio off to the side. They were really roughing it in Alaska.

This a view of the Mendenhall Glacier from the boat this past Sunday. Gorgeous day but NO fish yet!
