Frozen Toes

This is my favorite picture of Richard. He is so cute and thinks he lives in Florida. I can't hardly ever get him to even wear a coat. A true Alaskan.

Gracie having fun with trash

Gracie is a fun dog. She is full of IT! Not much gets passed her.
She is very cuddley and loves to steal food off the coffee table.
Last night she stole mom's string cheese. When it went missing, we knew exactly who took it. She is fun and cracks us up. The vet put her on a diet and you would think she is starving to death. She has slimmed down, but don't you dare drop anything on the floor when you are cooking. She is very fast. She also loves to give kisses.

The Ancient One has a Birthday!

Well today is my birthday.

Here I am with the joy of my life, my beautiful son Richard.  Not sure yet how we are going to celebrate but whatever we do

I know we will have  a good time.  Hope all is well with all of my family near and far.

Alaskan Visiting Teachers

Mom and I had a wonderful time last weekend. Sister Beck, the General Relief Society President came to Fairbanks.  What an uplifting and spiritual experience.  She is so beautiful inside and out.  This photo was taken at the enrichment meeting that Sister Beck spoke at.  I got to meet her and mom and I both got a hug from her.  We left there eager to be better woman.  

Hi everyone.  What a fun day we had. We took the dogs to Petco for some spa treatment and when we got there they were taking Valentine pictures with your dog.  So of course we had to have one.  Wish I know how to get it onto this blog.  anyway,  when we picked up Jed and Gracie they were so beautiful and Gracie got her toenails painted PINK.  Now they are asleep and tired out from their day at the spa. 

Hope you are all having a fun weekend.

Here is Richard and his friend Jordan. They have know each other since they were 3 years old.
In this pic they both just tested for belts.
Jordan for his blue belt
and Richard for his red belt in TaeKwon do.
They sure are handsome!

Thanks to a my wonderful Bro in law, Rick, I am able to post pic's to this blog.  

For my last one today, I want to put out a photo of beautiful Alaska.

This is a view of the valley from Fort Knox.

Carl and Richard and some of our friends went off

on 4 wheelers and snapped this.

Alaska is GREAT!!  

Hope you enjoy these pictures.  We sure

miss our family in the lower 48.
