Beach Time

One of Kayla's favorite things about our vacation was going to the beach. It had been so hot at Disneyland, that time at the beach sounded just right. However, once we got to the beach, the temperature had dropped quite a bit. This did not deter Kayla, a true Alaskan Child. She loved the water and ran screaming in delight each time a wave came in. She most of all, loved chasing her Grandpa. She would chase him with a handful of sand and when she caught up, she would throw it at him. She thought this was great. I think Grandpa liked it too.

Halloween

Here we are doing Halloween, Alaska Style. Kayla looked real cute in her pirate outfit. She wouldn't sit still for any of the pictures. Unfortunately, these are the 2 best. She either has her eyes closed or is moving towards me. We went trick-or-treating around our block. Kayla was at first a little shy, but she got over that quickly. She held up real well, considering it was only about 15 degrees out! BRR! You' ll notice that Kayla does have on her snowsuit under the costume.

Disneyland Part 1

Here we are at Disneyland.  We had a great time.  Kayla was inseparable from her cousins.  Especially, Jordan and McKenna.  They were the three toddler amigos.  Kayla loved seeing Mickey Mouse.  She was not shy about going up to Mickey and saying "hi."

We did several group shots with all the grandkids.  Notice Grandpa trying to sneak in??  He thought he was one of the kids!

It's Official

If you haven't heard the news... We are selling our house and moving away. After 10 years in Alaska, we have decided that it's time to try something new. We put the house on the market last week and have had a few people already in to look at it. Talk about nerve racking!! All we do is clean, clean and clean again. Our only real timeline is Disneyland in October. We are not sure where we are going, but we'll know it when we either get there or run out of $$. We shall see!

Peterson Bay, Alaska

These pictures are from a friends wedding outside Homer, Alaska in Peterson Bay. The day was one of the few that were warm and sunny. Most of the pictures were taken from the beach were the ceremony was held. Kayla was such a good girl that day. She had a great time playing in the water. She even took her first real boat ride across the bay to get to the wedding.
