Valdez in July:)

This past weekend we took a trip to Valdez. We had to get out of Fairbanks b/c we were in desperate need of fresh air. It couldn't have been a more beautiful and relaxing weekend. It was so amazing! We fished, even though there were only Pink Salmon, we still had fun catching. Wesley caught his first salmon, all by himself!

God is so good to give us such raw beauty! I have to say that Valdez is one of my favorite places in all the world!

Sweet Baby

Emmy Grace LOVES her baby brother! He is so tiny that he fits in Emmy's babydoll cradle. We have had fun playing with Luke. The only thing now is, Emmy thinks her baby doll is JUST as important as baby brother. So, we are trying to pretend along with her. It is so cute. We hold her baby, she feeds her baby, changes her diaper, changes her clothes, her baby has become apart of the family. I am thankful that she loves babies as much as she does. Bringing home a new baby has been such a smooth transition...she is now the BIG SISTER...and she is perfectly content with that title!

Baby LUke!

So, I went in on July 7th for an appointment...but my blood pressure was so high that they made me stay for a 24 hour observation and urine test. That next morning, the doctor came in and told me that I definetly had the toximea and that they were going to schedule my c-section for that afternoon. So, after trying to wrap my mind around having a baby a month early, they wheeled me off and we had Luke James Anderson that afternoon. He weighed in at 7.4lbs and 19 inches long. He is beautiful!

A Pretty Princess:)

We were out for a walk the other day and we couldn't let this photo opportunity slip by. She looked so cute walking around in the flowers...some were bigger than her! But she reminded me of a little girl on LIttle HOuse on the Prairie. So cute!

4th of July

For the 4th we stayed in Fairbanks b/c Travis had to work. But we made a day of it at Pioneer Park with our friends and listened to Travis play. It was fun and relaxing...and it only eneded up being 4 days before I delivered Luke.

Summer Fun!

June was so beautiful outside! We spent so much time swimming, playing in the sun, going to the park, enjoying the beautiful weather!

The Ultimate Trust!

Well, he finally did it! Travis is an official pilot! And I was his first passenger! And it was incredible! I am so proud of my husband! He is so inspiring! It is unreal...I have never met a man like him! He is so talented...if he puts his mind to something, he just makes it happen!

So, my first time up in the sky...I will have to say that it was a bit scary. To know that my life is completly in my husband's ability to keep this plane in the sky...I have to say that is putting my trust in him to the test! And he passed:) It was so much fun...the view was unreal...we spotted moose from the sky! It was so peaceful and surreal! I will recommend ANYONE and EVERYONE to do this...and I also recommend my hubby pilot! He was spectacular! Here are a few pics...

PS...this was actually in May...but it has just taken a while to get it posted...sorry!
