My Beauty and My Beast!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008!

This year was a really fun Halloween for us. Jacy is at the age were she LOVES dressing up and really got the concept of "Trick-Or-Treating". Picking out a costume was pretty easy... Jacy wanted to Belle (Princess Beauty) and wouldn't consider anything else! We thought it would be fun for Jake and her to go as a "couple" so he was the Beast (Lion)! They looked SO CUTE!!! Halloween night we headed over to my brother, Justin's house. It has become a Halloween tradition and we always have so much fun hanging out with them! Jacy just loves to go Trick-Or-Treating with her cousins Connor, Rylee, and Tatum. Grandpa Zeke and Grandma Debby, Pardner, and Grandma Greta were also there to be with the kids. Earlier in the week we also got to go Trunk-Or-Treating at the church. It is a fun and safe way for the kids to be able to enjoy a fun evening in their costumes. (Thanks Auntie Nell for coming to get our princess ready since I had to work!) Our ward did a great job of throwing a fun party! There was lots of food, music, face painting, and games for the kids to play, and then they walked from trunk to trunk to get candy for the sugar high that soon followed! Jacy also had a Halloween party with her preschool class on Wednesday. Now we just have to monitor the daily candy intake! I must say... Jacy makes a very beautiful Belle and Jake is a pretty darn cute Beast! Thank You kiddos for making Halloween so much fun!

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
