There's a party goin' on right now...

Posted in Family Life

Let's celebrate
It's alright....

Yeah, I know, I'm weird! What do you expect? I grew up with four brothers, and now have FIVE boys of my own! Yes, FIVE!! And they are all wonderful, God-fearing, handsome young men. (I almost wrote young me! That would be a scary thought!) I also have one beautiful young lady. She is six. She is my little shadow and my little helper.

Welcome! We are a Reformed Christian Alaskan homeschooling family. We live on six acres of the 23,000 square miles available in the beautiful Matanuska Valley. My dh and I grew up looking at Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America, in our "backyard' in the little village of Talkeetna. We also raised our family there for six years. We are now living farther south, but still in the Valley.

We enjoy snowmachining (what you all call snowmobiling), Boy Scouts, gymnastics, playing instruments, and watching educational movies. Recently we have watched Planet Earth, James Cameron's Expedition: Bismarck, 2002 and To the Moon: Nova. We HIGHLY recommend Planet Earth! It is a BBC film, and you have to overlook some of the environmentalist information that they say, but it is very little, and the cinematography is BEAUTIFUL!! Definitely worth the watch! I would like to purchase the set at some point!!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into our lives. Sit back and relax with a bowl of homemade tomato soup and grab some yummy Tortellini, Tomato and Salmon Salad too!

I hope you enjoy your time here! Please let me know you stopped by, and feel free to ask anything you would like about Alaska! Oh, and if you would like to exchange postcards with my kids, just email me your address! We are trying to collect postcards from all over the world!

Party on, dude!!!
