Abes Office


This is where Abe has to work everyday. He's feeling ok about the new office. He sees all kinds of critters, the mountains, the water....all in a days work.

Abes 2nd King- Anchor River

Abe's 2nd king, he caught the same night I caugh my big one. He has the most but I still have the biggest :)

Here you go Dad- Proof!



So this is the big one. Bigger than the ones Abe has caught. It weighed 29 pounds and was taller than Malachi. My fish was bigger than my kid :)

Sharing Spaces



So we don't fish alone here in Alaska. The two spotswe've been to, the Homer fishing hole and Anchor River, get pretty busy but we've heard it can get worse. I don't really like to tangle lines so I try and wait for more down times but Abe gets right in the middle of it of course. He's a little better at casting so it works for him. He's met some really awesome people on the River. They're a lot like him. Alaska attracts similar folks I guess. This weekend we actually ended up camping with a crew of people he met and it was really fun.

New Hats


So we came to Homer a little unprepared for the elements. I wasn't able to find good hats to buy... they were either to pricey or not worth buying. So I decided to use the yarn I brought to make Ezra a blankie to make hats for the boys. We think they turned out pretty cute! :) Thanks for sending more yarn Mom!

Abe's 1st King


This was Abe's first king. He caught it down at the fishing hole here in Homer. The boys were standing on the beach cheering for him the whole time. It was really cute. "GET IT DADDY!!!" I think they had everyone's attention... not too much pressure for Abe. He landed it on a muscle bed since the tide was so low. Kinda hard not to walk on the poor little guys sometimes. Oops!

Taking Ezra Fishing


So I've been taking Ezra Fishing. He likes it.
