More Cuteness!

Just some more cute kid pics! I can't help myself it seems like the babies change every single day!

Dentist

Josh and Will had a couple of cavities to be filled they were both super good for the dentist! Josh says he likes having is mouth numb and can't wait to do it again. My favorite moment was Josh putting his hand on Will's ankle and repeating "it is okay Will I am right here-you are doing a good job" which is what I was doing to Josh to comfort him before Will's turn-it was pretty cute!

Alaska Adventures in June

Yes this is a real bear, no Josh did not shoot it! This picture was taken on our front lawn!
This morning at about 7am Blue (our german shorthair) would not stop barking. I was still in bed trying to keep the babies from waking up because of the barking when all the sudden there was a huge BANG! I ran down stairs thinking that someone had shot our dog and there was a dead bear in the middle of the lawn. My father-in-law shot it. It was going throught the dumpster and eating the dog food. It had to be shot-once they find food they will come back again and again!

Gull Island

We loaded up the kids on Jared's boat and went fishing on Jared's day off

Babies loved the movement of the boat

We caught cod just outside of the harbor. As soon as they let the hook down they would get a bit! The boys loved it!

Gull Island or Poop rock-thousands and thousands of birds!

Our King Crab Feast! Don't forget the prawns, shrimp and scallops too!

I just have to say that my boys are having so many amazing experiences while here in Alaska! How many 3 an 6 year olds get to say that they dug for clams, fished on a giant halibut charter, saw Puffins and sea otters, eat fresh seafood right off the boat and touched a real bear! I hope to catch every minute and record so they have some proof that they did all these things before they forget!
