fallish/winterish weather!

Hey everyone!!  Well the weather has been weird, we have been waiting on snow!!!  We had an EARLY snow on September 15ish and just dustings ever since.  We are excited to get out and board, ski, snow machine (mobile), ice fish, etc! Here are a few photos from what we have been up to!

 We did some grouse hunting this fall!  This day our friend Jessica went with us!  No grouse, but a great hike w/ guns! :)

 Denali showing its beautiful self!

 GOOOOOOOOOOOOOORGEOUS view for Erin/my hike!

 Girls' hike! 

 We had a party at our house for one of our friend's from Adam's pharmacy.  We played beer pong and flippy cup in our dog room--- college style! :)  It was a great time!

 The result of playing beer pong and flippy--college style.................a man in a bright green singlet doing the worm in our living room.  (And NO, it's not Adam this time!)

 Our family Halloween costume!  Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar, and a ketchup bottle! :) :) :) SO MUCH FUN!  Tundra looooooooooooved the trick-or-treaters and tried to lick each and every one of them!  They loved his costume!

 I took the pups for a grouse hunt--- lovely morning for a hike, didn't drop any birds though!

 A crazy kayaker (banked on the right) in the freezing Eagle River...that is ice flowing!

 Tundy w/ a prized grouse!

 cuddle time in front of the fire!

 Tundra's new "Alaskan winter" collar.... it's getting dark so dang early!

 We were expecting way more snow than this at higher elevations-- we prepared w/ snowshoes and snowboards... BUT we had a nice hike up ship creek/arctic valley

 This is Miss Riley- the puppy we watched for our friends!  A-DORABLE!!

They are chewing on each end of the same bone!  :)  Best buddies now-- Tundra will be VERY sad when she goes home.  We might need to get him a puppy! ;)



Adam starts his new job at the hospital the Monday after Thanksgiving!  He is excited, yet nervous to leave his coworkers! 

We will have Thanksgiving w/ our "Alaska family" at our house-------- friends getting together whose families are in the lower 48 as well. 

I have been very busy at school this year leading the SEL team. (Social Emotional Learning)--- Anchorage school district is a leader for implementing this in the United States! :)
