Headed back to our Alaska home

Our trip went by so fast! We are already headed back home. I can tell we are close because its the middle of the night and it's getting lighter and lighter outside as we get closer. 

We got to spend lots of much needed time with family & friends. There are still so many people that we wanted to visit with, but didn't get a chance.

I think my favorite part of the trip was a fishing trip with my dad and Lance to our secret spot. 

As usual our spot proved to be an awesome spot. We reeled in several big blue gill, large mouth bass and crappie. Lexie loved handing papa the fish to skin out.

 That evening for supper (my parents don't say dinner lol) we had corn fresh from the field, squash fresh from the garden and fish straight out of the pond. It was yummy! 

Me and my sisters got to spend a girls day together. Julie and I got pedicures while Sarah wanted a manicure. I say wanted because the nail salon was so busy and never got to her. Julie and I was done and they were no where near close to getting to Sarah. It made me kind of upset since I had actually called and made us appointments. O well, what ya gonna do. 

The kids had a blast too. They loved all the cousin time. Papa and Aunt Juju were Lexie's favorite people! She was constantly asking for one of them. The second we took off on our first flight she was looking out the window crying for papa. She didn't cry long once I told her we would be seeing daddy soon. 

Daddy just got home yesterday from working in Nome and Gambel. He has been gone since the 5th. We miss him like crazy!! He should have the week off so we are looking forward to spending some MUCH NEEDED family time! 

A couple cute things from our trip:

Lexie learned to pinky promise and it is so darn cute!!

Lexie is still afraid to use the airplane toilet

Bless God and keep your eyes closed

Amen"
