Famous Blogging Friend

A lot of my friends have blog these days, mostly showing cute pictures of family and amazing adventures but one of my friends ( another playgroup mom) has taken it a step further.  Please be sure to check out Ana's blog "Knock Off Wood". She shares her plans for making beautiful furniture the cheap and easy way.  You will be amazed with her talent and I am guessing most of you will be building something from her site soon.  I have my eye on lots of stuff, just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can work outside.  Plus my dad is coming up again this summer so he can help me :)

In less than four months Ana had gotten one million hits on her blog not to mention has been contacted by people interested in book deals and tv shows.  Go Ana!!

Random Parting Shots

I say parting becuase these were the last photos taken before my camera crapped out. So, it may be a while before anymore pictures get posted.

It is hard being a baby.

It is a good idea to wear safety googles even when spraying pretend gas into your eyes.

The dogs don't get much camera time anymore.

Wyatt actually took these last two shots...ya think that might have something to do with the demise of my camera?

Happy First Birthday Sam!!

Our baby turned One on February 19th!!  In keeping with the birthday tradition we didn't have a big party for Sam either, but we had some carrot cake with yogurt frosting (Wyatt only got a carrot bran muffin for his first), sang and made a mess. A good time was had by all.

A birthday smooch from big brother.....

maybe trying to make up for digging into Sam's cake before he even saw it!!

Just a few more pictures of our cute one year old boy.

Yukon Quest

Mama made a break for it and went to Fairbanks all herself and had a blast!  Some friends had rented a cabin along Chena Hot Springs road and hiked out along the Quest trail to watch the mushers go by.

We had the perfect weather for sitting around outside waiting for mushers to go by.  They were about 50 miles into the 1,000 mile race at this point.

This was the only team that I was quick enough to get a picture of.

 

Max was prepared and came with the racers profile and kept track of who was going by.

Back at the cabin for some dinner and a few beers.

Adrian modeling her high class hand wear.

Not sure who brought these, I think they took most of them back home with them. But I am willingly to bet that we will see this same jug at some other event in the future.

Wanna try??? 

A few of us headed back out on the trail (loaded up in Jeremy's snowmachine sled) after dinner to catch our friend, Paige, who was one of the Quest 300 runners.  We got to see her go by and I just heard she placed 5th in the race, awesome!!  Hans Gatt was the first place winner of the Quest. Few more weeks until the Iditarod starts.
