Finally caught up

Hi all -

Well, I think I'm all caught up with posting pictures. Don't know how I got this far behind.

I think many of you have heard, but for those who haven't - Chason has been peeing & pooping on the potty now for about 2 weeks. He is so proud of himself; so are we. Only problem is now I think we've created a monster. Every time he goes, he thinks he deserves a present. It's getting pretty spendy. We've reverted to chocolate. We tried stickers, but he said "stickers aren't presents."

We are thinking of everyone this Holiday Season & hope you all have a safe & Merry Christmas!!

Luv, K

The Heydon's

We were able to visit my other cousin Jeff Heydon & his family. Chason & Josh are almost the same age, so they played together well. The kids had so many toys - I believe this was the highlight of Chason's trip.

More beach picts

Mat & I swimming, while Chason hid under a towel from the wind.

Last day at the beach

We went to the beach just about every day - but this one was my favorite! Kailua Beach. It wasn't the best weather, but we didn't care. Chason wasn't too keen on it, so Jaime stayed on the beach with him while Mat & I swam the morning away.

Beautiful Beaches

It was so pretty there - thanks guys for taking us all over the island!!

Beach Closed!!

After the Sea Life Park, we went to go swimming at a popular beach, but it was closed because of Man-o-War sightings. Plus, the wind was blowing pretty hard, so we weren't that disappointed.

Dolphins & giant sting ray

They had a dolphin show too. It was cool. Of course, my camera ran out of memory before we got to the dolphin show.

Turtles & Sea Lions

Sea Life Park

While we were in Hawaii, Mat & Jaime took us to the Sea Life Park. They had sharks there - Chason was so excited!!

Hawaii

James got Chason & I tickets to Honolulu to visit Uncle Mat & Aunt Jaime. We were there 11-14 thru 11-18. Short, yes, but we had a blast!!

Boo Zoo!!!

Chason & I went to the zoo for Halloween - it was cold, but we had fun!

Halloween

Chason's class came over to the Cancer Center for trick-or-treating.

Ready for picture day at school

Chason was excited for picture day - he called them his "handsome clothes." His teachers said he was so cute - showing all his friends how to smile "CHEEEEEESE!!"

More Halloween Fun

Face painting

UAA had a Halloween Fun Day that we took the boys to. Chason got a digger painted on his face & Robert got a monster.

Happy Halloween

Chason was a Construction Worker for Halloween this year. Angie, Robert, Chason & I went to the fire station down the street for their open house - mainly to check-out the firemen - opps, I mean the firetrucks.

Papa Andy's last night in Alaska

James & Andy headed back to Montana & Shawn, Antone, & the kids stopped by for a visit.

Ace's Hockey

We went to the Alaska Ace's "Paint the Rink Pink" night again. I think Chason is hooked now on hockey.

YeeHaw!!!

The boys rode the ponies at the fair - look at those smiles!!

Alaska State Fair 2012

Our friends Scott, Carmen, & James Adams came up for the State Fair again. The boys had a great time!

"I gottchu!"

We brought Papa Andy home to Alaska after our trip to Montana. He helped James build a garage for the 4-wheeler. Chason had to try it out.

20 year class reunion

James & Jason had their 20 year high school class reunion in Philipsburg while we were down there too. Was great to catch up with everyone. This is Alan Frankle - one of James's best buds. We went to Rich Brockman's comedy show that night (another of James's best friends). He is sooooo funny!!!!
