Hike around Lucille Creek

After One LORD Sunday in Wasilla where over 2,000 people from various churches gathered together - pretty exciting when you think about what it will be like for eternity! We saw a trailhead sign and decided to check it out. We were never sure if we actually found the right trail or not, but we did see a moose eating in the brush (1st picture). Lots of pretty aspin trees. The creek also challenged our river crossing skills. In the last picture, I made one of my favorite meals - warm pancakes with fresh fruit and whip cream! bring it on!

 

 

 

 

December: #2 Celebration!

The sisters....I loved hanging out with Kimber. The first picture is taken of us after going on a walk near their friends' home. Notice the magnificent mountain in the background! Talk about a nice view in the backyard!

One of my favorite things that we got to do was bake! We baked cinnamon rolls, pumpkin roll (above), apple pie (below), layered salad, mashed potatoes, ham, red hot jello, cheese ball...Oh, the men were quite content! and happy!

Josh and Ben also enjoyed doing the manly activities of hiking in -20 degrees F weather, organizing the garage, and setting up the ping-pong table which we had a huge tournament with - lots of fun! Christmas was a very blessed time and we can't wait to go back :o)

December: The Time We Celebrate God's Deliverance!

We got to go sledding the first day! What fun! I'm the one that looks like a robber :o) because it like -10 degrees F!

This Christmas we were majorly blessed with the opportunity to fly to Palmer, ALASKA for Christmas break! We spent over a week with Kimber and Ben (my sister and brother through marriage). They live in such a beautiful area, but it is quite freezing compared to Texas.

We went on quite a few walks in the neighborhood and some hikes in the local area. There is always an amazing view to see with so many mountains in sight. One night, we had fun making snow angels in their driveway!
