Gone to the Dogs
This is my crazy Yukon life, and I love it!

Too bad Daddy has to work on sunny days...
He'd have WAY more fun kick-sledding with us
:)
This is the
first
time Sarah & Adelaide
stand on the runners
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Adelaide hits the slopes!
Notice she can't even reach the driving bow?
She is holding the brace 1/2 way down the back of the sled
...too funny :)
:)
But WOW!
Does she
hold on
!!
Now THIS is winter fun!
Mummy helps the girls
set up for another run
While Adelaide holds the brace,
Sarah holds onto Adelaide!
What a team!!
And AWAY they go!!!!!
Even Wellington gets into the fun!
There they are
Adelaide Anne & Sarah Grace
Professional mushers at
27 months of age
:)
Daddy you really
should
consider taking off
sunny days
XOXO
Daddy's little helper, Sarah Grace...
Here we go...
into the dog yard!
Boxer is loose & I know
just
how to help
:)
It's all about the tools
&
I get to help Daddy find his wrench!
Boxer & I supervise the job
while Daddy shows Angie a few "fix-it" tricks!!
I'm the technical support
:)
Another job well done....
thanks to team work!

Playing in the snow...
Heck...at plus temperatures in a Yukon February,
playing in the snow is the perfect thing to do!!
Sarah takes Rattle-Pup for a sled ride
and as you can see...
he is soaking in the rays
; )
Adelaide fearlessly bombs down the hill in total control
then gets silly with Mummy
and Wellington...
If only you could have heard her giggles!
Two buddies enjoy the warm sun
on our new trail
taking a power break...
Wellington took time out of his carefree play to
do some trail grooming
for the betterment of
the girls
:)
Adelaide's FIRST Snowman!!
(with a bit of help from Brenda)
Adelaide was SOOO proud of her snowman that
she refused to come inside untill
I let her hug him & get her
photo holding the frozen little guy!
*************
Note to self:
It's amazing how much they sleep
after a few hours in the fresh air
(more pics of Sarah soon!)

Happy days!
Happy days!
The sun is returning
the days are warming
&
the Elk are in view again
Yukon wildlife really is spectacular

A Soccer Star in the making
A friend & I decided that hitting the school gym every Friday
with the munchkins
would be a great idea!
Not only would the little people have a blast socializing,
we parents would successfully wear out our energetic
kiddlets & therefore reap peaceful benefits...
Sounds like a "win win" to me!!
Go Adelaide Go...
... Just TRY to stop that goal!!!
The Floor!!!
So Here it is....
The Floor
Red
Shinny
NEW
&
Hole-less!!!
The Prep work begins...
the hardwood awaits...
the Furniture is moved & the
girls world shrinks for the weekend!!
The skim of plywood is measured
and it covers the holes I've lived with
for almost 5 years!
Daddy's little helpers join in
:)
Loic is busy
screwing the floor
The fun begins...
The biggest colouring page ever
is under our feet!
The Building Inspector is on hand
for quality inspection
It would appear that he approves
of the work so far!
In fact, Inspector Wellington is fully engrossed
in the project
Down to the more serious side of the job
CLEANING DETAIL
and packing!!!
A well earned break
:)
and the floor starts to appear...
What a yummy
RED
Extra hands are always
a good thing for the
crew boss!
With hardwood THIS shinny,
the sweeping will
never
end!
No time like the present for
a major snuggle session
Ear's need protecting
on the job site
A tight knit crew
to see the job through
:)
The crew boss is tired after a long weekend
and my job is far from over...
just LOOK at this mess!
but it is AL worth it!
Just look at the sheen
&
the floor actually matches my
KITCHEN AID ROASTER
Does it GET any better?
