Treasures

Found in Abbie's room, a newborn baby dress. I have a hard time imagining it wasn't just for a baby doll?!!

Senior ball

Liam and his date, MaLinda Malenfant, went together to senior ball last week. I can't believe they are seniors already! Time flies I guess...fancy kids!

MAC 2015

Liam's high school rifle team participated in the Mid Alaska Championship this Friday and Saturday. It marks the end of the high school rifle season (Liam is also on a recreational  team, the Midnight Sun Sharpshooters) Rifle is a big part of our day to day around here. I committed to opening the range and beginning and sometimes running the whole of practice when necessary for Lathrop's team this year. So that meant, every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday  from two thirty to about five thirty-ish  and Saturday from twelve-thirty  to five. We have had quite a bit of interpersonal drama this year, but I have very much enjoyed working with these young athletes and seeing them win some awards today was a great end to the season.
Liam won an individual bronze medal for his score in smallbore, a 562. And our team won the team high for air rifle, we lost the smallbore team by two points but won in overall combined! An excellent day of competition!

This picture shows Liam with his very first shot in smallbore. They shoot fifty feet and begin in kneeling position. The shot shown is a perfect bulls eye.

Sports

We have sports in our house on Thanksgiving too!

Things in my purse

Time to switch to a larger bag, doing so this is what I found to be in my tiny summer handbag. I generally use use a larger bag for winter to fit mittens and such. Also so I make sure I have my nook for long waits on kids.

Best chocolate birthday cake

Yogurt Cake

So good I've made it twice in a week! Freddies had my favorite Brown Cow cream top Maple yogurt on mark down so I had lots of tasty yogurt to use up. Really good plain cake:
