Curling-Greg's new sport

2009-11-16T11:05:00.003-09:00

Curling is a team game with similarities to bowls and shuffleboard, played by two teams of four players each on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice. Teams take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards the target (called the house). Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use timing equipment and their best judgment, along with direction from their teammates, to help direct the stones to their resting place. The complex nature of stone placement and shot selection has led some to refer to curling as "chess on ice."

Mr Fix it since "Rachel" broke it!

2009-10-31T09:43:00.005-08:00

I've taken the blame for dropping a trial sized shaving cream can into the toilet after it was recently flush. What can I say...I had massive heartburn and needed some tums! Well I told Greg about the incident immediately but he wasn't too concerned until he couldn't flush the toilet a couple days later. So we tried a large magnet to retrieve it. I thought about calling a plumber. But in the end Greg & the Home Depot 1-2-3 book came in very handy. That's right my husband is not only a surgeon but a plumber!!!! After removing the toilet the can of shaving cream was in the bottom stuck...Greg decided to drill a hole in it to relieve the pressure (I was hiding since I thought it would blow up!) and it shot out the front like a rocket into the tub. Strong work & only cost $20 take that Mr Plumber! Now I'm not allowed to keep any small objects in the cabinet above the toilet but if Hunter decides to throw a toy down there...Greg is to the rescue!

I thought I'd share this funny picture! Greg had to shave his beard to return to work but I captured this picture in the process.

Moose Sausage

2009-09-23T09:52:00.002-08:00

Sunday afternoon Greg decided to make some homemade moose summer sausage. I had bought the machine for him last Christmas. Now we know how to use it...we'll have all sorts of wild game sausage in the house. It was very tasty!!!!

Why I love coupons!!!!!

2009-09-23T09:42:00.002-08:00

As many of you know I am addicted to coupons now. I've had great "training" in couponing through a local website http://www.alaskacoupondiva.com/
I am amazed at the savings with very little amount of effort involved. Here is a list of what a bought yesterday:
2 Frebreze candles
4 cans of soup
5 boxes of granola ars
3 bags of nut clusters
2 bottles of windex
2 boxes of capri sun
1 bag (1.5 lbs) dog food
____
19 items for just $23.62 not bad for a beginner! I am challenging everyone I know to look at the website and try it for yourself!

Alaska State Fair

2009-09-07T14:26:00.004-08:00

We went to the Alaska State Fair on Saturday September 5th with the Wilderness family. Greg was deployed to Jolo with Dale (he is an OR tech) and they have bonded. It was a lot of fun...we saw GIANT Veggies, Lance Mackey (Iditarod winner 2009) and had the best dipped ice cream bar! Of course during football season & in the Fall we play a game called corn hole in our yard almost daily.

Blueberry Picking

2009-09-07T14:12:00.003-08:00

Over the last week Greg and I have been hiking & picking wild blueberries. We have now picked over 5 lbs worth! Greg is excellent at finding & harvesting if it involves a dessert at the end. I have made blueberry strudel muffins, blueberry cheese cake, & blueberry pie. Tonight we are thinking of something else because we picked raspberries this afternoon and it's the eve of Greg's return to work. What a bummer! I've enjoyed having him home.

Duck Hunting opening day Sept. 2, 2009

Rainbow trout fishing & Canoeing 9/2/09

2009-09-03T20:05:00.004-08:00

Greg and I went canoeing earlier this week on a beautiful fall afternoon. Stone was home resting from duck hunting. We were also doing a little trout fishing. We got quite a few small ones but nothing worth keeping. As you can see from the pictures a Loon was off in the distance but came up and took Greg's 10 inch trout from him! What an awesome experience!! We are so blessed to be living in such a wonderful place!

Grilled Pizza night

We have almost perfected our grilled pizza...its at about a 98%. Even the dough is homemade.

Jim's Creek

2009-09-03T19:53:00.002-08:00

Greg and I were out scouting duck ponds on Sept. 1st as well as doing a little salmon fishing. Stone went with us and the road to get back there was very muddy!!! He loved it....until we got home when he had a bath.

Moose Hunting-August 2009

2009-09-03T19:32:00.003-08:00

Greg went moose hunting at the end of August just for a few days. I think he was preparing for the big hunt. He saw a few bulls but none that were legal. He captured this view just an hour north of the house.

Greg's new toy!

2009-08-27T17:32:00.003-08:00

We picked up this ATV trailer for Greg today. I had ordered it a couple months ago while he was still in Jolo. It's used for hunting and hauling gear behind his Yamaha Grizzly 700 he bought last fall. Very light weight and he is going to try it out in 2 weeks when he goes to the back country moose hunting.

Baby Hunter-21 weeks

2009-06-30T19:38:00.003-08:00

These were taken at the Base today. They are just not as fancy & high tech as my clinic. And yes in that top photo Hunter is kicking me.

The start of Hunter's room

2009-06-22T05:41:00.005-08:00

Since everyone is asking what our baby's "theme" is... I thought I'd better post it. I guess the theme is like the rest of our house...nature & classic colors. There are more pictures of baby Alaskan animals for his room and a small elk lamp for next to the rocking chair.

Hunter 18 weeks

I am luckly to have an ultrasound tech at work who offers to get photos that I can send to Greg on his deployment. This was the only face shot we could get after 1/2 hour of trying.

Pregnancy Belly

2009-06-16T17:29:00.003-08:00

I am 16 weeks in this photo (left) taken in my office. I've added more recent ones from today at work. I am 19 weeks now and I feel as though the belly is getting bigger everyday. Of course I had to add a cute picture of Stone.

He really misses his dad & can't wait for him to get home!!!!

Cleft palate clinic and photos from the beach

2009-06-03T21:05:00.012-08:00

Greg went on a mission to a camp located on the beach last weekend. Looks beautiful...but look closely for the barbed wire. Tuesday 6/2/09 he held a cleft lip & palate clinic for a group of plastic surgeons coming next month.
