Ho, hum.

Leigh says that I should post something... I don't have any good current pictures right now. I tried to take one of Abigails missing teeth but she wasn't being cooperative. Oh, well.

Today we are going to drive by some properties that were in the newspaper. Maybe we will see something we like. Mostly what catches our eyes is the size and the area, hopefully the houses on the land are adequate. We shall see.

Again its kind of a ho, hum day so far.

Last night we went to dinner at Benny's Grill in North Pole. It was pretty good but the atmosphere was not quite right, more of a diner than an upscale steak joint. They tried but missed the mark. The desserts were awesome and the wine was good if a bit warm. Also the steaks were cooked exactly like we ordered them.

Well that's all for now.

Golden Days

Today was the street fair downtown for golden days...Abbie loved the sled dog puppies. Even Liam couldn't resist a little pet.

Liam trying out the racing sled!

Val's birthday cake

This year with raspberry filling. Home-made seedless jam with berries picked in the backyard.

Fresh fish

I have only cooked our fresh stock of halibut one time, but it was good! The kids were taken by Grammie Lorna to a BBQ at a friends house so Kyle and I were left on our own for dinner. Yay for grown-up food without the need to make something else my picky children will eat! I made pan seared halibut with pico de gallo, can you tell Kyle liked it?

Big kids

The kiddos and I went to a wedding yesterday. The reception was at the Princess hotel, as we were parking some tourists were getting their picture taken with this moose sculpture. The kids thought it was too funny the were the same size as a moose with a big rack!! I hope the tourists don't think this thing is life size.

Fishes!!

Kyle and Liam got home early this morning and brought us tons of halibut! They were all chunked up in bags but needed to be rinsed and wrapped for the freezer. After they were all processed we ended up with 38 pounds of fish! Yum!

Outdoors girl

Abbie was finally convinced to have some outside girl time so we (along with Auntie Zara) went to scout for blueberries. We got out of town a little late, but still had a nice drive and picnic. The blueberries are ripe in one spot we looked, unfortunately we aren't able to pick today because the boys got home with bunches of fish!!! Also when Abbie tried to show her Dad the super loose tooth she had, this happened:
