Visit With Papaw Fatty

After a 12 1/2 hour ferry ride, Papaw Fatty and Danny Boy finally made it to Kodiak Island. To say the least, they were exhausted! After they arrived Friday afternoon I took eat lunch and then off to the house for showers and cat naps. Once we got settled in John called and wanted to give us a tour of the Alex Haley since he was on duty all night. This was my first time on the boat so it was even very exciting for me! Papaw Fatty

Saturday morning after John got home from work, we all packed up and headed out for a day of fishing! John With His Fish

Danny With His Fish

We had so much fun Saturday and we even caught a good many fish. I REALLY Caught This Fish!!

As soon as we got home and got the salmon cleaned, we ate dinner and John cook some wonderful FRESH salmon and steaks!! Sunday we decided we had, had enough fishing and went sightseeing. We took Papaw and Danny out to Fossil Beach which is one of the farthest drivable points on the island. Today John and I both had to return to work so Papaw and Danny followed me into town and did a little sightseeing on their own. Our Mississippians left tonight around 6:00 p.m. headed back to Homer, AK to finish up their trip and head back towards home.

Fun In The Sun

July 17 through 30th Hydie and I visited Mississippi! It was so nice to be home and visit with everyone! While we were in Mississippi, we celebrated my 21st birthday, Brittany graduated with her LPN degree, visited the gulf coast, celebrated Papaw John's birthday, and got Hydie's ears pierced and pictures taken... To say the least we were a little busy but we had so much fun!This was the first time Hydie has ever been in a pool but you would never known it by looking at it. She is definitely a little fish!! John is now home and will be home until September. We are so excited to have Daddy home for a while! While we were in Mississippi, Hydie finally started really crawling and now you can't let her out of your sight because she will get into something! Papaw Fatty suprised me yesterday when he called to tell me he was in Homer, AK and would be traveling on the ferry to Kodiak and should be in Kodiak by 11:30 today! I went to meet he and Danny Boy at the ferry and we are now just getting home and getting them settled in. I'm not really sure how long they are planning on staying but am so excited just to see them and finally get to share Kodiak Island with some of my family!

My Mohawk Baby!

So Hydie finally has a little bit of hair on her bald little head. It seems to only be growing in the middle though. But since we don't have enough have enough hair to wear bows, I decided that we will just start spiking her hair up like a mohawk!! She is too funny when she is posing for pictures now! She definitely will be our little camera hog in years to come! We have been having such a good time with Daddy home! He will return to the boat this upcoming Saturday. We aren't looking forward to him leaving but the sooner he leaves the sooner he gets back. Hydie has her second tooth now and I think she might be working on another one! She is also crawling but she will only crawl backwards but is trying sooo hard to crawl correctly! My little baby girl is growing up way too fast!

Pictures from the 4th!

Here are a few pictures from Independence Day!! Hydie was so excited to see her Daddy at the airport!! We had s'mores at our friend's house and Hydie thought she need to try one so I gave her a marshmellow and a original graham cracker!! She was in heaven!!

Happy 4th!!

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Independence Day!! I can honestly say this is one of the BEST 4th of July's I have ever had!! John is on his way home as I type!! He should be landing around 3:00 p.m. and then we will be heading to our friends Jeff and Jana's home to have a cookout and hopefully watch fireworks...It is pretty yucky with all the fog and rain today but that isn't stopping us!! John will be home for about a week and then head back to the boat for a few more weeks. We are so excited to be able to have this time with him!!! We have missed Daddy soooo much!! Hydie is almost crawling...she has figured out how to get on all 4s now and just rocks back and forth! I will post pictures later this weekend of all our 4th of July fun!
