I just couldn't resist adding this picture of my newest "Precious Lids" model. He is adorable if I say so myself!!!!!

These photos were loaded backwards but you can see the procession of the rebuilding process of the plane. What a scary project and I see why Lance has been very busy and very stressed!!!! Amelia got to paint of the fabric and then Lance started ripping everything off. Hopefully by Spring we will have a new SuperCub with a new look!!!! The shop has really paid off during this project!

Snow-shoe hares are quite a tasy meal. Amelia has been wanting to hold a rabbit since she held baby bunnies at Uncle Sammy's last year. We went hunting in the woods and shot two of them. Baked in the oven with cream of mushroom soup makes a tasty meal. Amelia loved it!!!

Sam and Berta's (some friend's of ours) Log home through the snow covered trees. We spent the night last weekend and got a foot of snow overnight!! What a winter wonderland! The skiing was superb. They only live 45 minutes to the south but we don't have nearly the snow they do!!! Amelia got to ride the mini snow machine with her friend Fiona. What a blast!

The top photo is how they start out on a ski......this is how I like it when we end up with them snoozing!!!! How sweet it is!!!! We're usually good for about an hour of exercise for me which is good for everybody....when momma's happy, the world is good!!

My "hired hand" working on the new porch steps. What a difference they make!!! We have lived with wooden blocks for the past 6 years. It makes us appreciate these even more though!!

A few photos of Halloween! Amelia was a beautiful butterfly, Reid a catterpillar and Rachel was a fairy. We had lots of fun. The carnival at the school was nice but Amelia was afraid of some of the scarry costumes. Trick or Treating was great for me!!!! Lots of candy. it was 32 degrees and snowing but the girls loved it. They were ready to go home after about an hour and a half. Our pumpkin won the contest at the school carnival!!!!

Just a few of the most recent shots since we have been home from Idaho. I put Reid in the backpack while Amelia was sleeping the other day to get some chores done outside. He squeeled and loved being up there!!! We got all of our furs back that we had trapped last winter and Amelia was snuggling with the Lynx. My form of exercise has come lately with pushing the double stroller. the kids love it and usually fall asleep all laid over on each other. it's really cute!!!!

A few of my favorites of Reid lately. He's such a little Ham for the camera! This is the funniest face that he has been making lately. I don't know what causes it but sometimes he will do it when you have food and he wants some!!!! funny kid!!!!

On a recent trip to Idaho Amelia and Reid got to be around four of their cousins. What a great time they all had. Michael, Austin, Tyrel, Amelia, Katrina and Reid!!!

look close and you will see Caribou in the background of the top photo. We flew out to Wells Creek (where we got married) about a month ago and went for a nice hike. We snuck up on some caribou....it was fun. The plane is getting to small (or we too big) for all of us.....maybe one day we will get a bigger one. Reid loves the outdoors as you can see!!! all smiles and dimples too!!!!

The latest of my two love bugs!!! They are so cute together (most of the time). Reid gives Amelia these looks like he is so in love with her! Two was a great idea.....

The fair in Palmer was tons of fun!!!! Amelia enjoyed the rides but she liked the animals the best!!! We went with our friend Julie. I enjoyed the fair food!!!

The latest of the whole family.....Lance wouldn't be happy with the photo, but I think it's pretty good considering we're all (almost) smiling!!! Picking blueberries has been a challenge this summer with Reid but we are managing. We have about 3 gallons so far!!

We have put a lot of hard work into the yard and it is paying off. The grass has been fun to run around in for the kids!

Reid's first hike with cousin Kirk!!! We have been blessed with lots of family this summer!!!!

When it's Hot, Amelia likes Ice cream......when the sun goes down, she eats toasted Marshmallows!!!!! Something sweet, just like she is!!

The Barbie Fishing Pole proves itself!!!!! Lance flew Amelia and Grampa Jim out to a Grayling hole and they scored 18 fish! Enough for 5 of us to eat for dinner!!!! Thanks for the fishing pole Pa Pa Morningstar!!!!!

Uncle Kevin and Papa made a long journey to visit us last weekend. We were together for a total of two and a half days and it was a priceless visit!!!

Uncle Kevin is the best!!!!

Uncle Kevin is going to make a GREAT dad!!! He practiced his skills here last weekend.......

Most up to date of the two of them..... Reid is rolling over, sucking his thumb and discovering his feet! Lots of fun. He doesn't miss a thing his sister does!!!!!
