Aubrey and Arik Koverdan....Their older siblings (Carson and Ania) are 5 days apart. Aubrey is 6 weeks older than Arik. He is a cutie!

Playing in the snow.. Carson was dumping on her!

She loved being out in it!

The snowman....

Aubrey loved sledding...she schooches in her seat saying "let's go!!"

Carson wasn't quite big enough to pull her, but he sure tried!

Most of the snow is hardened and the road is mostly ice, so we won't be sledding again till there is more snow. The snowman melted and is a pile of frozen clothes. We'll resurrect him when we get fresh snow! It is cold and clear, wonder if the northern lights will be out?!? I'll have to check when Aubrey gets me up tonight.

get away!

We had a nice time in Juneau (4 1/2 hr ferry ride south) Nice to get to eat out at real resturants and to shop at Costco and Walmart and Fred Meyers! We don't do this very often so it is always nice to have a bigger selection to choose from. Now back to the small town. We are looking forward to having all the folks that are here for Turkey day...about 17 or so. I am probably crazy to try it with little ones, but oh well!

What a treat

We got to see the sun today!

Playing together

The kids are starting to play together! They both enjoy doing this...

But that also means that they are starting to disagree about who should be playing with which toy!

Here is Aubrey in the jumper that Grammy made...all ready for meeting.

Great Hostess Gifts

I have had a lot of fun making coasters. Using charm packs makes them super easy!

Iron 4 charms in half, then layer

1 charm right side up with the half charms on top around..

Tuck the last one under the first one....

Sew around and clip corners, turn inside out and iron.

PS. does anyone else have trouble uploading photos? It took me several tries for each photo and about 40 min to make this post! I don't have the time to do that often! I think I will try it on Sat am and that may be my only time to blog. UGG!

Meet the cat...Little Miss...

(she was little when we got her! )

This is Carson's scary face....

Notice his boots? Yes, 2 diffrent ones and both left feet! =-)

well, i guess we build this from the bottom up... lets try another one..

Ok, lets try this again...

well, there is one... lets try another one...
