It's been 15 months since I've blogged and the following are pictures taken during that time.
The pictures are not in order, although I wish they were.

The weather here the past month has been the best it's been since we moved here. It's been great!
The first year we were here we broke the record for the most rainy days in a row.
The 2nd year we were here, we broke the record for the most snow.
The third year we broke the record for the longest winter.
I kid you not...May 18th, it was snowing. June 18th was record breaking heat.
This climate is the most extreme and fickle at the same time.
It's time to go home.

Scott was the director of the 2012 Air Show here in AK. It was a HUGE job as more than 200,000 people attend. Here he is awarded with a plate for it.
Here he is directing in his golf cart. We came and paid him a visit.

Carolina is a little confused about how to pee like a girl. This was taken a few months ago. Now she is doing very well with it. :) This month she was weaned, potty-trained and learned how to climb out of her crib. Busy month for her!

Scott about to leave for his sheep hunt. While he was out in the mountains, a storm came through with over 100 MPH winds. He ended up hiking over 16 miles in 15 hours with over 80 lbs on his back! He did not get a sheep, but I'm just glad he made it out alive!
Here is some of the storm damage from that night Scott was out hunting/hiking
My sister Raegen and Cale had their son, Roman, last August
