Our New Year Adventures

Happy New Year everyone! We are doing great and keeping warm/dry. We have had a pretty mild winter, lots of cold weather but just recently we have gotten tons of snow! We got 13 inches of snow yesterday and 5 more today!! Mark has been busy shoveling snow and Caitlin is loving sledding~
This is Caitlin's new dress from her Grandma Candi - she loves to wear dresses, especially ones that sparkle! Getting ready for church - all dressed up!Last week Caitlin's friend Alexis had her 3rd Birthday Party. It was a Princess Party complete with a castle cake, dress up clothes and crowns!
I have a few more pictures from when Auntie Randi and Uncle Todd were visiting us. We took Caitlin to the Twin Lakes Park to burn some energy :)
Going down the slide with Auntie Randi following close behind!
Jumping with Daddy!Cheese!Some tire swing action!I love this picture - Caitlin loves to hold Andrew, she loves him even more!!
Little "Mandrew"







Now this is a true Alaskan girl - it was a beautiful day with clear sunny skies and we drove out to the end of the road. It was only 10 degrees outside and a little too cold to do much else. Well Caitlin had to go potty and there were no bathrooms around, so on the side of the road we had our first outdoor peeing experience! She was such a sport!
So cold and windy - but beautiful!
More from our drive
Mark and the frozen river~
Us at the end of the road!
Cheese~ Such a pretty girl! My baby is growing up so fast!
More pictures from when Todd and Randi were here. The Mendenhall river has been frozen over from the cold weather we have been having. Todd, Randi, Mark and Caitlin went for a walk on the lake out to the ice bergs. Below is Todd by one of the ice bergs.
Randi and Caitlin by another ice berg.
Caitlin and her Auntie Randi going for a stroll on the lake.
Photo op!
We also took Caitlin bowling for the first time! This was at the end of her game. She did so well for a 2 year old (even if it was bumper bowling!)
Todd and Randi with Andrew~
Daddy giving Caitlin a hand! Watch it go!!

As I mentioned we are doing great and keeping busy - I have about two and a half more weeks before I have to return to work. We have lots planned so stay tuned!!

Well, Caitlin is a tough alaskan girl and I wonder if anyone else notices that Mandrew is almost as big as Caitlin. I also see you guys don't wear hats even when it's 10 degree's! Keep up the good work,PAPA ps- has Andrew used his BB gun yet?
