Graduation Day for my nephew Tanner. 

Friends from Kentucky come for a visit. Summer 2011

Our good friends Mark and Jan Ostbloom came in July for an Alaskan fishing, clamming and sightseeing excursion.  The first stop was clamming at Deep Creek, then we went to Homer for halibut fishing, they went on from there to fish the Kenai and Russian River and then back to Anchorage to shop and see the downtown area. Great times and many wonderful memories from this visit.

Trip to our friends lake cabin on the Yentna River, Alaska

Summer is coming to an end here in Alaska. The fall weather is approaching fast. Dave took Carson one last time to our freinds cabin for Labor Day weekend. It's about an hour boat ride in on the Yentna River.

First Day of School

Kait is starting her first year (9th grade) of high school and Carson is starting her first year (6th grade) of middle school.  Kait is holding her new puppy Koulee.  A minature snouzer just like Grandma Sue's dog.  Kaitlan made the high school volleyball team. Carson is playing soccer at her school.  It feels like the older they get the busier life becomes.
