Happy 5th Birthday Jake!

-
Jake is 5 years old! Where does the time go!  He was so excited for his birthday.  He got to take cupcakes to his friends at school.  We held our traditional birthday dinner at texas roadhouse so that he could sit on the saddle, and then some of his aunts, uncles, and cousins came over for a small family birthday party complete with an “avengers” cake. 
 

He loves all things boy!  Robots, guns, swords, star wars, super heros, hot wheels, pirates, Legos, and running, jumping & always climbing!  He is always full of energy and laughter.  He has a very creative imagination and can entertain himself for hours with his toys.   
 
His birthday is on October 2nd, but He wanted to have a costume birthday party. So, on October 27th we held a Halloween carnival party at our house.  He got to celebrate with all of his cousins and some friends.  They got to play games like tossing the ball into the trick or treat pumpkin bucket, the fishing pond game, and ring toss,  Everyone had a really great time!

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...

Whale Watching

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!!!
