Its become a monthly thing!

It seems like I am constantly using 'Im so busy' all the time, WELL... its because I am :-)
Apparently my blog has become a monthly thing vs. a weekly thing! O'well..... March flew by!
We had tons of family up from Oklahoma; Mom, Dad, Syd, Connor and Em came to see us and we made the most of their time here! We were able to see the Aurora Borealis, saw a few moose, went to the zoo, lots of dining at AKs finest, made it down to ski Alyeska, went sledding, took Syd and the kids ice skating,  we celebrated bubbas 1st Birthday, did s'mores on the fire pit in our backyard, and got to play and enjoy lots of family time!

Apparently 1/2 mustaches are the trend :-)

Matt was home for the majority of March but is now missing the majority of April; once he gets back from this hitch he will be back to 2 on 2 off. While he was home we splurged a little bit. We bought a new Polaris RZR 900, we have been looking at them for awhile now so I was happy when we finally took the plunge! We also tried Cross Country Skiing and fell in love with it; we loved it so much we went and bought both of us new skis :-) we only have a few weeks left for this season BUT we are all prepared for next year!!!

Easter 2012 was a lot different than we have ever experienced before! Instead of sun dresses, flip flops, and green grass, we wore long sleeves, boots, and hunted eggs in the house due to the several feet of snow still covering the ground! The kids still had an absolute blast; we went to Easter with the Calcotes and Laela adopted a new Grammie and Papa. The whole family was so sweet to us and spoiled the kids rotten. 

It was a very nice sunny 40 degree day. Its was extremely nice considering yesterday we broke the all time record for the amount of snow fall in Anchorage! We have gotten over 133 inches of snow this winter which is a lot compared to the 74 inch average! 

Overall we have enjoyed the snow and all the activities its allowed us to enjoy! With that said, we are looking forward to Summer... we are ready to hike, bike, and enjoy the sun! Hopefully the snow will melt off by May, but maybe I'm being optimistic... we will see!
