My Life with Photographs

Had a great time hiking with my friends at Tanana lakes. It is now summer in Fairbanks, we can hike at night because we have 20 hours of daylight right now..

Out of the blue, my Alan boy asked to eat steak and it was late at night. He was influenced by watching TV. The next day he asked again. On the third day his dad finally cooked us very good steaks.

Wasn't feeling good today, went to see my doctor and ended up with 2 pokes to get 8 and half tubes of blood out of me for test.

Joel and I was busy cleaning the yard and the gardens then buying plants and planting them. What a busy  Memorial weekend. Alan was a good helper though. 

 We had a great time hiking up Birch Hill Ski Resort at Fort Wainwright Alaska

Headed south on Richardson highway just past Fort Greely. This was on our way to Chitina for camping and fishing red salmon.

Route 66 Santa Monica, California West end of Route 66 During our tour in Santa Monica California. Got to spent a little time at the beach and Santa Monica Peir.

Even in the darkest clouds, there's always sun shining on the other side. And in Fairbanks Alaska there's sun shinning over the darkest clouds  at 830pm.

Dandelions are getting rained on. They sure are growing wild!

I miss this place. It was home for a short time at sandy point heights in ferndale, Pacific northwest.

First marshmallow of the year He enjoy being outdoors but he sure does love playing with his gadget. Is this what you call modern kid?

I learned a lot that's for sure! I'm glad the training is done and I made it!. I'm now ready for assignment this summer.

Barnett st. Bridge It was a great day today. I learned a little bit about aviation, smokejumpers operation, and EMT but what makes me so excited was learning how to daisy knot tie. That was pretty cool..so simple yet such a great thing to know how to. 

Such a great day! I learned a lot today from bear safety to using compass and GPS, to watching a video and  lesson learned, and to hiking up the birch hill carrying pulaski with 25lbs back pack. What a day! On top of that I rode my bike 5 miles to home. I'm tired and sore but had a great day. And a good way to end my day was using sauna soaking in hot tub.

I rode my bike today for the first time this year. It was a good ride to work, a little more than 5 miles ride.. However, we had rain storm this afternoon and I got a headache so I called my husband to come pick me up. Here is where I left my bike.

Today was a big day for me. Did the pack testing and passed it. Carrying 45lbs vest for 3 mile walk, I did it for less than 45 minutes.. 2 minute less. I'm so glad it's done and over with.

My hubby's home for good. We went to church then to lunch then to Holm town nursery, had coffee then bought some plants. I'm a happy Mom today! My boy kept reminding himself that today is mother's day and that mom do what mom wants and that he should listen and do what mom says.

Been gone and away for 4 months, my husband is now home at last. No more being away for too long. So thankful and grateful!

My order Amazon came today with a big box. At first I was like, what did I ordered? Then when my son and I opened the big package from Amazon, this is wats inside it, two small items. Crazy!

Let your lights shine through

During the 5k chena river run 2018

Kids were having fun taking turns whacking the pinata then all of the sudden this big dog showed up and took over. Look how high this big dog jumped. He only got a piece of the pinata though. That was funny! Kids love it!

Cinco de mayo yesterday. This was on my way home from the party with my son. It was about 9pm and the sun was still out shining in Fairbanks Alaska.

Alan my 5 year old boy got to go with me today and did 5K Chena river run 2018. The last time I did this was in 2010. I Never thought I would be running it again...now with my son. So he was doing great for about a mile then he started to whine, then he wanted to be carried. So I had to carry him for about a 1.5 miles to the finish line. So glad I have been working out. I registered both of us online. I did that after the pickup date for bib and tshirt was done. However, we can pick up our bib and tshirt on the race day. When I went to pick up my bib, I was told the tshirt pick up is at the finish line. What the heck?! I was hoping to wear the tshirt while running.  By the time we got to finish line, only one size left - Adult  LARGE! So disappointed! We took the bus ride from Fred Meyer to Woodriver elementary school where the starting line  was. And from Princess Lodge back to Fred Meyer.  Friends and family
