Spring is Here.....

........ I can feel it.... even with it snowing outside. At least my tulips believe it is spring and are starting to grow in my sunny window. What is nice about the days right now, is the SUNSHINE! After a winter of darkness, everyone seems to soak up every bit of sunshine that we can. Spring in Alaska is one of my favorite times of year! Nice long days, warmer weather, even though the -26 in the morning this week has been a bit TOO COLD! But it does warm up to above 0 in the afternoon. You know your kids are Alaskan when they know the difference between 20 degrees below and 20 degree above. It is nice to be able to open my front door and let all the light in through my glass door. Spring is a happy time! Everyone seems to be in a good mood, getting out to enjoy the weather, Skiing, snowmobiling (though ours decided to break the minute it warmed up enough to enjoy riding it!, cookouts, outdoor parties and all the fun things that you can do during spring. Our family have enjoyed some of our own outings. We went on a short, Ski and sled trip last week. Kaden and I used our skis and Isaiah used the sled. Isaiah did try out some skis for a bit and did rather well!ON our walk, Keith used his camera which was a good thing and a bad thing. The bad you will see why later. It was a wonderful afternoon. We really enjoyed the sunshine and snow! Here are some pictures of our outing. You can tell it is warmer since I am wearing a sweatshirt and jeans. It really has been nice weather!
Isaiah's first time to ski
He fell down
But got back up again!

Determination!!
Cuteness!
More Cuteness!
Kaden going down hill. Fearless
These were the good pictures Keith took



Following the trail
Kaden got the hang of it pretty well



Me and my boys!
Isaiah the Explorer!
Sledding down a giant hill
Happy for the nice weather!

OK the Hills were NOT easy to go up!
As I said having Keith with a camera is dangerous. He got the complete action shot of me falling.
 But to spare you and myself I will only post one!
