No way!!!!!!

Did it really work? Maybe it just hates my pics.

My Blog Hates Me

My blog hates me and only me. Rejection is a hard thing but not that bad when you assume the rejection is universal. The most frustrating thing about it is, I told my friend Heather Sheffield about my problem so she came over and tried to troubleshoot my blog for me. She did the things that I normally do and it all worked out smoothly for her. I witnessed the whole thing. I thought maybe my blog had a hiccup in it and now it must back to normal. Nope. It is me. It hates me. I'm concerned I am wasting my time even trying to post this entry. If this entry works maybe I will try again one day. I love you all! Meet me on facebook if this fails. Until then . . .

Skiing at The Canyons

Such a long time without blogging - - - I know you've been sorely mising my entries. Right? My computer has been in rehab. Hopefully it is recovered. February 2009 we visited Jon's sister Liz's family in Park City, UT. They've got a sweet place at the top of the Canyon's. You just put on your ski stuff and step out the door. It's great. Here we are before heading down the mountain. Liz took the picture - thanks Liz!!!

My Grandmother I Never Met

This is a picture of my Aaka Hazel Aveoganna when she was 2 years old. She passed away in a hotel fire. The last time my mother saw her she was 12 years old.

Mt. Tamalpais

We took a quick trip to Mt. Tamalpais. The views were amazing. The kids loved walking around and exploring. We came upon a very large outdoor theater made of stone. I would love to watch a production there one day.

Junior Kindergarten in Disguise

This year, Maren & Wells are in a Junior Kindergarten program which they enjoy. Is there any detective in you? See if you can figure out which ones they are.

Jon the Hunter

This year Jon caught his first deer. His uncle Terry and aunt Judy gave him a mounting kit for Christmas. Here is the final result.

Fireworks Night

When we are in Alaska Jon and my brother Ethan often like to do fireworks.

Sidney's Words of Advice

Yesterday I went and got blonder highlights in my hair. Today I asked Sidney, "Sidney, how do you like my hair?" Her reply was this. "You need to be you. It doesn't matter what your hair looks like. It just matters who you are inside. You don't need to be pretty or anything, because you look nice the way you are. You just need to be you." I guess we all can learn from Sid's words of advice.
