Well as the year comes to an end, it has been a very busy year for us. One of the highlights was our summer vacation where We had a once in lifetime vacation and the opportunity to take the 7 day Alaska cruise and visit Vancover, Canada. We all had such a great time. Thank You Grandpa and Grandma for making that trip possible. Also We were lucky to have alot of Friends and Family come visit us here in Alaska. Cousin Jordan, Grandma Cindy and Pap Pap, Grandpa and Grandma Audrey, and Pete, Farrah, and Areila were all her to visit with us. This past summer We went on a 3 day camping trip with Justin's 4 wheeling club and it was the first time the kids really enjoyed camping in the outdoors and Cousin Jordan was here to share the adventure with us. Daniel and Hailey went fishing for the first time this summer with Daddy and Pap Pap and Daniel caught his first fish. Halloween this year was extra fun having Pete, Farrah, and Areila visiting and here to celebrate with us. Daniel has started Kindergarden and done very well his first half of school year. Hailey has been doing really well and loving her second year of pre-school. Daniel just recently finished playing his Pee-Wee Basketball team season and loved having Dad as Coach. Hailey has been continueing her gymnastics classes and learning new skills and improving on old ones. I have been keeping busy volunteering with the PTA at Daniel's Elementary school and working noon duty when called in. Another big event was Justin and I just recently celebrating our 10 year Anniversary. Now We are about to start a New Year and the first 6 months are going to be a little rough with Justin having to deploy. We are hoping the time goes by very fast for all of us and then this Summer We have another new chapter in our lives to begin where We will be moving but dont know as of yet where We will be moving to. I Hope all good things for this New Year and most importantly for Justin to come home safe to us and our Family be back together. We hope everyone has a Happy and Healthly New Year. Here are some pictures from our New Years Eve Party ringing in the New Year with some of our really good Friends up here in Alaska.

Well on the real Christmas Day it was a little different then the previous years. Santa had already come to our house early cause We thought Justin would have had to leave earlier. We were blessed with him being able to be with us to the first of January. Unfortunatley Daniel woke up in the morning feeling sick so We were very glad Santa made an earlier visit 2 weeks ago. Hailey and I watched the Very Merry Christmas Parade while Daniel was sleeping. He woke up around 11am and Thankfully was feeling alot better. We gave the kids a present that we were saving for them for Christmas Day and they were happy with their new movies G-Force and Wizards Of Waverly Place The movie and their new Ds games Alvin and the Chipmunks and Hello Kitty and Friends and new stylus pens for their game systems. Then We got on the web cam with Grandma Cindy and Pap Pap and the kids had a pile of toys to open. Hailey got a Mermaid Falls Barbie bath toy She had been wanting along with a Disney Princess Alarm clock, dora bath set, Hannah Montana Ds Game, some hair acessories and play jewelry, and a nail spa salon kit. Daniel got a Bumble bee transformer, spongebob pretend shaving set, basketball game, Batman Aarm clock, remote control car, and Indiana Jones lego Ds game which he really wanted. Then it was on the Web cam with Uncle Kerry and Aunt Tami and the kids loved their new pj's. Hailey got Hannah Montana and Daniel Transformers. They were excited to take their baths in the evening play with their new bath toys and put their new comfy pj's on. Later in the afternoon we went over our Friends Mike and Jessica's House for Christmas dinner. Justin made his famous mac and chesse and Mike and Jessica cooked up a Turdunkin along with alot of delisious sides. It was the first time We ever tried a Turdunkin which is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. It was out of this world. The kids exchanged gifts with their Friends Michael and Miranda. DAniel was excited to get a Spongebob Ds game and Hailey a winter fun littlest pet shop toy set. Of course We had to watch the movie A Christmas Story a traditional favorite and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. We have had a great Holiday season the last two weeks between Hanukkah, Our Special visit from Santa, and Christmas Day and the best part was being able to have the whole Family together. We hope everyone has A Very Happy New Year.

The kids have been having a very enjoyable winter break and We have had some really nice quailty Family time together. I am so Happy Justin got the extra two weeks to spend with us over the Holidays. The kids each went with Daddy to Build-A-Bear and they made special doggies that they can sleep with each night and Daddy recorded a message for each of them in the paw of their doggie. We went shopping and got the kids some new school clothes for the second half of the school year as they are growing fast and outgrowing clothes quickly. Thank You to Grandpa and Grandma Hailey was able to get a new pair of Lelli Kelly's as her old pair is getting snug, and Daniel got some way cool skelton Vans which He loves. The kids had a special trip to Chuck E Cheese this past week and we got them 200 tokens which I must say was about 100 too many but they spent it all and had fun doing it. They saw Chuck E Cheese and finally Hailey is not scared to take a picture with him. The kids have been enjoying playing their new DS systems with Daddy. Justin got a DSi and He has been linking the three together and they have all been playing video games together. We went out the other night with some of our good Friends to Moose's Tooth, have eaten at Ihop and Red Robin some of the kids other favorite places to eat. Yesterday We all went to the movies to see Alvin and The chipmunks which the kids have been waiting a very long time for this movie to come out. Opening Day was a little packed but it was a great movie and the kids were both laughing hysterically in the theater. Tomorrow night we are going over our Friends house for Christmas dinner. They are cooking a turdunkin. Never had it before but its a chicken inside a turkey inside a duck sounds very yummy. We hope everyone that celebrates has a Very Merry Christmas and everyone A Happy New Year.
