The Little Holts

Well, we had an absolutely wonderful time with Jacob, Tiffany and the cousins. It's soooo nice to have family up here!! The baptism went wonderfully, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any photos of Rebekah's beautiful Mom-made baptism dress. My camera ran out of batteries. :( We were able to get out and enjoy Fairbanks. We attempted to fish, but Fairbanks isn't the greatest place to find them. But we found fun lakes and rivers to visit (and the kids don't really care about fishing, anyhow!)

I'm gonna start here with Naomi's birthday pictures. Her birthday was on Easter, actually, and so she is wearing a pretty purple dress, with the bow Gramma Nancy gave her a year ago- it still fits! :) She's so pretty!!

Tiff and I enjoyed our shopping trips together. Leaving all 10 kids together with Travis & Jacob. One of the trips was from 10am-5pm at the homeschool curriculum fair, it was very therapuetic and relaxing! We love our hubby's soooo much! ;) They should be given Alaska's best Dad awards. On one of our escapades we purchased kites for all the kids because it was so windy.

More kite pictures. Tiffany, you will have to post the pictures you took, too. I didn't get a whole lot of the cousins. :(

Jacob and Trayton.

We went on a super fun walk over at Creamer's Field. They had some really good trails on wooden walkway/bridge thingys. Over looking the river.

All the kids, everyone. Tracker in a backpack, John in the Mai Tai on Tiff's back, Jacob pushing the double stroller w/Naomi and Smi? in it, there's Youhoo, Elizabeth, Rebekah, then Joseph, Tustin, Trayton and Sariah somewhere behind getting "encouraged" to hurry up. :)

On the lookout tower. Cute Jacob & Simi!

Cute smile, Tracker! I love this face!

At one of the lakes we visited trying to find fish. These two are so precious! John has the happiest smile!

Playing on the icy lake. We were very cautious at the first. Then we consented to allow them on the ice, but only by us, right by the shore!

I almost didn't come because this little boy here. Tracker was sick, throwing up. But what better way to spend your sick day, than lying in the warm sun out in the fresh air??? He slept pretty much the whole time. Poor kid.

Playing on the ice lake. It's like a foot thick.

Tracker fell asleep at the river we visited next, while drinking out of his sippy. Unfortunately, this is the last and only picture I took here by this river. It was so warm and beautiful, I even got a little nap.
