Melting Snow and a Long Lost Toy



This green dot is a long lost toy stuck in snow on our roof. I threw the ball for Sally at the beginning of winter. It went on the roof. We got it back today.

My New Toy! St. Bernards, and a Wagon of Fun

Since I am done with the maternity leave position, I am back subbing in all grades. I was in a fourth grade class this particular day. We had St. Bernards visit the school and pull us in a wagon. It was way fun!


We went down to ANchorage last weekend. I mentioned to Jim, on the way down, that I was getting tired of riding double on his four wheeler. Next thing I know, he is researching where to get the best deal, and takes me to a place in ANchorage to get a bike. I was not planning on getting one so soon, but evidently, Jim was tired of riding double too.

This particular day, it was perfect weather to go riding. Wearing the snowgear blocked the windchill. We rode for four hours and only came home because we were thirsy. We had a blast.

Playing Pool with Cupcakes?

I am on Spring break right now. I am done with the maternity leave position, which is really depressing for me. I am not really looking forward to being a sub again. I have been spoiled getting to know the same class for the past 9 weeks.
Anyhow, since I am on Spring Break, I have some extra time on my hands that I haven't had in quite some time. I used this time to clean the house, play with Sally (who was starving for attention) and have a cupcake decorating day with a really good friend that I have made up here. Her name is Kate. She is a blast!



James and I are going to the Temple this weekend. It is a much needed trip down there. We are not use to living so far away from a temple and it gets really hard. We both have to take time off work, then we have to drive 8 hours (that's if weather is good, which there is a blizzard right now) and we have to stay in a hotel. That is just our first day. The next day, we actually get to go to the temple. We try to make it down every three months, but I didn't go last time because I was not able to get the day off. Sad times.
