Jake is on the swim team. On Friday they had a meet. Jake did well in his age group. He came in 2nd for back stroke, and 3rd on butterfly. His relay team came in 1st. They have 2 more meets of the season and are hoping to improve their times. 
Last weekend we went down to Anchorage. Unfortunately we didn't get a lot of pictures. I would like to say that this is a special mountain like Mt McKinley(Denali) but it's not! We went past Denali but didn't stop, we will this summer.
Curtis eating reindeer. Yummy! We told the kids that it was Rudolph. They didn't believe us.
We went to the Zoo. They didn't have many of the traditional animals because of the weather, but lots of Alaska animals. It was fun but cold.
We were able to do lots of other things in the big city(do we sound like country folk?) too. We went to the temple, to Chuck E. Cheese, the mall, Target(!!!), and an indoor water park. We had a great time. We are already looking forward to our next trip.
On Saturday we went the the annual Firefighter's Ball. It was a great time. The food was good and we got to boogie it some out on the dance floor.
We had our family pictures taken this fall...and I think they turned out fabulous. (Thanks Karla!)
