HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA! MARCH 18

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA. Emma is 9 yrs old. We had a birthday party with all her friends at Nikiski pool. She had a great time. She got lots of pet shops and some money.

Emma would like to give some advice to all the little kids out there:

DON'T COLLECT PET SHOPS UNTIL YOU ARE 9, CUZ YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEM THAT WELL YET.

FLYING WITH THE MEYERS

So Roger and Annette Meyer invited the kids to go for a ride in thier Cesna 150 airplane. They really like Dave and Emma. There is one picture with Roger. They did a swoop down in this one video.

Anne Capistrant Bib # 88 2008 Iditarod

We got to meet Anne Capistrant # 88. She was very nice. She let dave and emma help feed the dogs. This is what they learned when they helped Anne feed the dogs.......
They mix the water and food together for a few reasons.

1- To eat fast as not to lose time on the trail during pit stops.
2- Also it's mixed to speed eating time before it freezes!
3- To eat fast so at camp so they can go right to sleep.
4- They mix the the food and water so ensure they get the water in, if they keep them seperate, sometimes they dont want to eat and drink, (kinda like people.......just because we need water doesn't mean we drink it) The dogs were very pretty and lots of fun to see.

Lance Anderson Bib # 9 2008 Iditarod

So we went to Anchorage to see the big Iditarod kick off this weekend. We were able to meet Ken Anderson and his lead dog, Kenga! He says he likes the little dogs to be his lead. He was very nice, the kids loved the dog.

GOALIE AND BROWN BEAR AUTOGRAPHS

dave is the goalie here.

Well it has been a busy month for us. Dave has still been playing hockey 3-4 days a week, but he is now trying goalie, appearantly he has a really good hand(to catch the puck like in baseball) HE IS LOVING IT! I can't say i am terribly excited. I don't really want my little boy being the TARGET! Any way, we went to the big Hockey team in town, and emma got some autographs on her shirt, she was sooooo excited. Notice one of the players # is 27.
