This week funnies

We have had a pretty good week. My plan of packing a little at a time had worked. I haven't felt overwhelmed and have got so much done. 

The kids are always cracking me up. Here are just a few funnies from the week.

Lexie thinks any day the sun is shining is a "SUNday"

Lately Lance had been adding "able" to the end of almost every word. It's pretty cute. It works for most words but not all.

Lexie is still checking all the eggs to see if there is a baby chick inside.

My little boy is growing up! He now takes a shower all by himself, drys himself off and dresses himself. He doesn't need me as much anymore. I loved watching him walk out of the bathroom with his towel on, dry his hair then pick out his clothes. He is such a little man. 

Lexie farted and I go "what was that?" She says "my butt! I farted!"

Last night out of the blue, Lance said he wanted to put up a Lemonade stand. He said he was going to make a sign too and put "Lemonade Lance" on it! How stinking cute! So, I think next week, after we get settled a little, I'm going to help Lemonade Lance set up a lemonade stand. I think between 3 and 5 should be the perfect time! 

While going through the cabinet last night, I found a Hershey's chocolate bar. Lance quickly said, "let's make brownies and we can put chocolate in them!" So I got everything we needed and the kids took turns adding the cocoa, flour and so on. They did SOOO good!!! While lance broke up the candy bar and placed chunks into the batter Lexie licked the bowl. They were such big helpers and listened so good with no fighting!! They usually aren't too good at taking turns helping, but I think they are quickly learning that momma won't let them help if they can't take turns.

Andrew has spent the last couple of days in Ruby, Alaska. A little history about Ruby:  The largest gold nugget ever found in Alaska (294.10 Troy Ounces) was found near Ruby in 1998.

Ruby had a population of around 150 with 82% being natives.

 He stayed at a Bed & Breakfast rite on the Yukon River. The family that owned the B&B gave Andrew a bunch of silver salmon to take  home. 

He will be home sometime today on a plane the company chartered to come get him. This is amazing to him, because when he worked out of the Anchorage branch they could care less about him. He would sit for days in small villages waiting for the next scheduled flight. He is really liking the Fairbanks branch. They seem to take care of their guys.

Tomorrow we load up and head to Fairbanks!!God has given us soooo many opportunities! It's so exciting!
