Breakfast at Village Inn, Celebrating

I'm not sure who is more excited the kids or me? This year it is not as hard to see them go back to school, mostly because they have been fighting for the past two weeks. They all got up bright and early today and looked so cute in their new shoes and new outfits. The ladies decided to celebrate with a breakfast at the Village Inn. Then treated ourselves to a wonderful Pedicure. The kids are all excited about their new teachers and the year ahead. I made hot chocolate chip cookies and we talked all about each one of there day. Now the big job, all the papers to be signed and returned tomorrow... PTA, ROOM MOM, this consent form that disclosure and on and on... times that by 3. See Brett being a stay at home MOM is not all tennis, lunches, pedicures and so on, this is not as easy as it looks. Or as Brett would say " its good to be Tina"

ALASKA...

Brett and Matt just returned from the long awaited and anticipated trip to Alaska. In Bretts own word "the time of my life"... The fishing was amazing. They got to go on 4 ifferent charters and each one was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The first day they drove 1.5 hours to Homer were they deep sea fished for Halibut, then they did a few river fishing trips on the Kenai River, were both Brett and Matt hooked a huge King Salmon and many Silver Salmon. They also fished out of Seward, and caught some HUGE Halibut. They also spent a day sight seeing and saw some pretty impressive wildlife and beautiful Glaciers. Brett loved the trip and said over and over how spectacular ALASKA was. Next time I want to go, we missed Brett and I think he missed us too...

24th of July weekend

Brett and I took the kids to Woodruff for a little over nighter. We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Putnam. They were so happy to see us and got such a kick out of the kids. We made them lunch and brought Rice Crispy Treats. They loved visiting and Grandpa brought out his Purple Heart. The boys were so impressed. Max asked so many questions, I think we wore them out. Sage tried to teach Grandma how to text. They have been married almost 73 year and still live independently. I cant even imagine. Brett and I have only been married 18. We sure love them and are so proud to be part of their legacy.
