Jen's Flower Garden! Hopefully it will all grow!



The Dwyer's BBQ!


Hi Everyone!
Last night was the perfect evening for a bbq! Jake made Burger's and Hot dogs... Yummy! It's hard to bbq when there are so many mosquittos! Earlier in the spring they were big fat female mosquitto's but now they are the annoying small babies. Also in the last week huge flying bettles have started to show up. They are about the size of a quater. Gross! Yesterday it was 85 degrees in town! It is usually about 10 degree's cooler at home which is nice. Today we are going to the Midnight Sun Festival so we are both looking forward to that! I'm especially excited for monday... My mom is coming to spend a week with us! So check back in a week or so and check out some fun photos! Yesterday was the begining of Jake's Summer break! He doesn't go back till June 30th then has the 3rd and 4th off! We are enjoying Alaska life but really miss Seattle. Hopefully Thanksgiving will come fast! Well I'd better get going. Check back tomorrow for pictures from the Midnight Sun Festival!
All our love,
Jake, Jen and Penny

Hello Everyone!
Well today has been a rainy day! It reminds me of back home! It hasn't stopped raining since last night. Jake and I went into town last night and there was thunder and lightening. Today jake is doing some training on post. It's like a re-view of what they learned in Basic Training. The had to crawl through the dirt and mud, save the battle buddies "life" and reviewing policys. He had to get up really early to report because someone got a DUI. It seems almost every week someone in his unit is got a DUI. Not to much new with me. I go in on monday for my EMG test. Then hopefully I will be able to schudule my surgery for when my mom comes. I'm really enjoying my days with the kids. Yesterday we went to a free movie at the Cinema and then went grocery shopping! It sure is hard to get anything done with two kids running around though! Over the next 3 weeks they are only going to come once a week. So it will be nice to have a little break! We dont have much planned for this weekend. Tomorrow we have a BBQ at Jakes unit for all the families so that should be fun. But thats about it from Alaska. We miss everyone so much.
XOXOXO
Jake, Jen and Penny
