Congrats Jon!

Jon got the GEM award today for "going the extra mile" at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where we both work. So proud of him!!!
He wasn't excited for pictures but we are so proud of him!!!

Myself, the kiddos and his folks all were able to help him celebrate! :)

Fun times!

Headed to daycare and preschool a few mornings ago. Kaden is so proud of his Mohawk!!!

Cuddles with mama 

Ellie still LOVES bath time! She has 12 teeth now & her newest words are: binky, Bailey, help, down, up, hey, thank you, hungry, mine, no, stop, doggie, woof, moo, cow, bubbles, juice, milk, and she even said her name the other day. So cool! 

Jon headed up the Haul Road to do some caribou hunting. No luck this year but maybe next hear!

Ellie and her namesake, Eleanor Boehlke. Precious moments!!!
