I know I know...it's been awhile. Well we had a good summer but now summer is looooong gone. It's cold. There is usually snow by now though which is kinda nice. Let's see what has happened since July. In August I turned 33 :(...oh well. October 14th Michael and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately Michael wasn't even home. He was out of town on a job in Eagle, Alaska. In the spring the town flooded and ice destroyed most of the town. Michael and the rest of his crew at Williams Scotsman drove one of their office trailers up there to be used as a clinic. This was a big story here because there are some real treacherous roads on the way to Eagle and a lot of people were telling them that it couldn't be done. Well my hubby took that as a challenge and his boss, Mike Frizzell, told them if anyone can do it "Mikey" can. So off they went with 3 pilot cars (one with a plow) and a wrecker (just in case). It took them 2 days to get there and I believe he said it was about 500 miles to Eagle. Well they did it and the people who live in Eagle were very grateful. See they had one of those huge tents that they were using as a clinic and let me tell you from looking at the pictures I would never been seen in that thing. And this is what our tax dollars were paying for. Ridiculous. Well the story about the trip to Eagle and them taking the clinic there was on the local news and we were very proud of our boys. Most of you have already seen the news story but if you didn't here is the link...
New 10-ton Clinic Makes it to Eagle!So to say the least we are very proud of our guys for making it happen!! Here are a few pictures.
Halloween was fun for Little Michael. He was a pirate. He went trick or treating with his cousins and went to a Halloween Party and he had a blast. He wanted to go with his cousins so we spent the evening with my Mom and her boyfriend Keven who were in town visiting before they went to Adak. Here is Michael in his costume.
He was so cute. He was saying "Aaargh...Trick or Treat". What a ham. Him and his Grandma Violet made a spooky gingerbread house.
Michael also started preschool this year. He LOVES it. He wants to go everyday, but he goes three days a week. He is doing so good and is very smart.
So Halloween is over and now we are off and running getting ready for the holidays. Michael is trying to perfect a fudge recipe and he makes the best peanut brittle. Yummy! We hope you all had a wonderful summer and Halloween and for those of you in Washington...see you in June....oh yeah.......WE BOUGHT OUR TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited...can you tell? hehe...
We will be in Quincy from June 25th to July 11th. Hope we get to see all of you for the 4th of July at Dads. Love ya all.
Tresa, Mike and Michael
