Mish-Mash + Friday Photo Dump

Brandon's mom, Minty, came to Fairbanks for some training last week for 4 days / 3 nights. We went over to Bridgett's, where she was staying, for a few hours every evening to spend some time with her.

Bridgett and I had a chili cook off on Saturday night.  Both chili's were great and the kids voted equally for both chili's.  Surprisingly, there weren't many leftovers!!!

We have had to deal with water issues, every winter for the last 5 years.  In 2009 we put in a new well.  Last weekend we finally buried the line from the well to the house.  We shouldn't have to deal with water problems, while living here, every again... KNOCK ON WOOD!

Brandon rented a backhoe to dig a trench for the water line.  Tanner loved the backhoe and would scream when he have to get out.

Growing, growing!  This little guy is getting big and strong!  I swear he is almost into my ribs already!  Going to be pretty painful soon!  No major complaints about pregnancy at the moment though.
