The new sled at our favorite spot....

Sledding in 2010 has never been better! Papa Paul and GB gave K girls a very very awesome sled for Christmas this year. We all love it, as you will see in the picture Dad even loves it! We've made it to our favorite sledding spot quite a few times so far this year, here's a short clip of one of our adventures.

Happy Boootaay to Meee

Twenty-Nine plus, not bad. 2010 is a good year to be my age!

I had a great week in Anchorage and my sister took me out on the town the Friday before my big day. I got to go and have a fab dinner with my cousin Karen, sister and a friend and then drinks and a lot of fun! I won't bore you with the details, but I didn't get home until 3:00 am, yeah. I brought the birthday in with a bang.

I finally made it home the evening of my birthday and got to eat cake and pie with my family! I am such a lucky girl. My Mom made my favorite peanut butter pie (out of this world!), an apple pie, a cherry pie and a chocolate cake! Holy cow! To say the least everyone left very satisfied. Kiley and Kalin had lots of cousin interaction and we had fun hanging out and being with the fam.

My Dad was in Kotzebue at a tournament, just like he was the day I was born! He actually went out to breakfast with the man that drove him to the airport to meet my mom while I was being born.

Photo Fun

Kiley has become quite the amateur photographer lately. I always find the most interesting pictures on the camera these days. Max and Camryn stopped by the house last night and Jon found these pictures after they left.

"Sisisms"

Here are some of the much spoken "Sisisms" at our house. Sis is talking all the time now, and we have fun interpreting what she has to say. Some words are easier than others. See if you can figure them out:

"gle gle"

No clue? The toughest one first.

Popsicle silly!

"pease!"

That's an easy one. Please! She tried this one on her Dad the other day for some type of goody- he melted, almost immediately.

"Ditder"

Not sure? Sister!

"Oker"

This is one of Sis's first words- Oscar, the beloved monster dog that torments her with his tongue and tail.

"Shnax"

Tried to give you a hint by capitalizing that one. That's Max, as in Uncle Max.

A recent one, with a little twist on a favorite "Kileyism" would be

"dippa"

Hmmm, tricky. I wouldn't have been too clear on this one if I wasn't there talking about it with her. It's "lippa!" as in anything you put on your lips with a little flavor and/ or color.

and last but not least...

"Nam"

Of course this makes Gram the proudest, its "Gram!"
