Random post revisited.

The girls

More girls. (Alyvia's first dance recital)

Milo's new hairdoo.

Alyvia "the tooth" Davis (missing her first tooth).

The Hannah Montana show.

Happy to eat chili.

It's rainy, but in a good way.

How much for a tooth these days?

Ainsley loves the spring too!

Ainsley hates to be inside since discovering the sunny outdoors. She screams bloody murder when it's time to come in, but as you can see she has a great time running around and exploring outside.

Spring is here!

Here we are kids, the Wasilla Park is open for fun. Hey, I'll race you to the wooden plane. No, I want it. Please, girls you'll just have to share, the Totem pole is taken.

Teepee for two wild little indians.

Great now I have to watch her all the time. Kids shouldn't learn how to climb stairs.

Ainsley's first library experience. Surreal.

Summer is the season for soil-ing your diaper, reaching in to feel it, and wiping it on your Dad. Hooray!

Alyvia is wearing the latest Alaskan Spring fashion - Carol Brady hairdo, a silk Chinese dinner dress with a Disney apron and a pink life jacket. It's Palin approved outerwear for 09.

Ainsley feels confident now that when she leaps face first into the pool she won't drown.

70 degrees baby!

Sweet Strawberry pie, now that's down home cookin'

A dress made with a Grandmother's Easter love. Aaww.
Lisa was going to write something for this blog but now she can't be bothered - solitare. I just wanna say that the Alaskan springtime is the greatest and we're all really swell now that the snow is melted. Ciao Ciao

Milo turns 1!

Oh my Milo is 1 or actually 7! Dogs really grow up fast. I remember the first day I saw him, he was the cutest dog I have ever seen. I never knew a dog could make me so happy. I've always wanted a dog but Jefferson has a real aversion to hair, human and animal. I never thought I would actually get a dog. He is part of our family and my little buddy. He is always so happy to greet me when I get home it makes my day. He loves his treats and dances on his hind legs for one. He is so patient with Ainsley, Ainsley love him so much and many times a little too much but he never whines or bites. We all love our Milo!

Random post because it's been a while.

Well, let's see. Matt and I drove the infamous Alaska Highway, it was not as beautiful as it was last summer but we had a pretty good time. The Audi does great on snow and ice luckily. We didn't encounter any major storms, the coldest it got was -35 in Calgary and Edmonton. Erika and Mike and Co. stopped in for a few days and we all had a blast. Matt is up in Fairbanks now trying to find a job.
Lisa and I got a gym membership for the family and Lisa is very excited to be working out every morning at 6am. I'm just sore.

Here's Alyvia with her new HM guitar pillow rockin' out.

Ainsley is a monster now that she can walk around, just as I'd predicted. Here she is stuck in a chair.


She loves shoes and being naked. We're so proud.

The Nelson's got a new puppy and kitty, the kids love them, they're so cute. And, NO, we're not running a cancer youth center those are our children and they're perfectly healthy.

Matt was a hit with all of the kids, Alyvia wouldn't leave him alone for a second.


Here is our new pet moose who we've named Gayle. Her kids, Natasha and Bullwinkle are still eating from our compost bin.

Bluebird day at Alyeska!

From the Tram, view of the hotel, park and ice sheet.

Lisa's new bunny gear.

Sunny morning, it's about 12 degrees at 1pm. High would be about 22.

1,2,3,4 I declare a Monty Python and the Holy Grail War!

Give me your best shot, I know this movie better than anyone!
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes, slightly paraphrased.

The coconut's tropical, this is a temperate zone
It could be carried.
What, by a swallow?
It could grip it by the husk.
It's not a question of where he grips it, it's a simple question of weight ratios.
A one ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
Listen, in order to maintain air speed velocity a swallow would have to beat it's wings 53 times every second.

Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who, this is supposed to be a happy occasion.

I'm not dead!
What's that?
Nothing. here's you ninepence.
He's says he's not dead.
Well, he will be soon he's very old.
Oh, I can't take him like that.
Aw well do it as a favor.
I can't it's against regulation.
Well can you wait around a moment he won't be long....
I feel happy
Well isn't there something you can do.
I think I'll go for a walk
Thud,
Oh thanks very much,
no problem see you on thursday.

Who are you then?
I am your king
Oh yeah, well I didn't vote for you.
