I realized I haven’t recap my trip to Alaska – unfortunately, I didn’t have room in my luggage for my own camera, so I had to borrow my mom’s. However, I kept forgetting to take pictures, so (very unlike me) there aren’t too many pictures.
Mom and Tony moved from Anchorage to (of all places) Houston, Alaska about two years ago. This is the first time I’d seen their new place, and it’s awesome. Unfortunately, no real pictures of it – those will have to wait until Christmas. They live on ten acres (I think that’s how much they have) in a log cabin – which is just fabulous.
The highlight of the trip – telling my mom we were having a girl!
I kept it a secret (almost impossible for me!) and told her by getting off the plane with a pink teddy bear. It was a lot of fun to see her face 
Morning surprise in the backyard…
He looks big – but he’s actually just about a year old
Two worlds collide
He wouldn’t let me get very close to him though.
The dogs somehow managed to get closer!
Happy Mother’s Day!
My brother and his financee (I love saying this!!)
My mom has seven dogs (yes, seven). They actually sled these guys, so they are house dogs, but working dogs as well.
Brent and Timmy (Timmy is the dog!) Timmy and his brother Tommy are unique huskies – called Makenzie River Huskies. They are huge guys – well over 100lbs now. But about the sweetest boys in the world.
Brent and Dakota (a more traditional Husky)
And believe it or, that’s all I have from a five day trip!
Wow, you don’t look anything at all like your mom, do you?! Looks like you had a great trip!
