"Ready" Eddy Robert Simmons



We are excited about Eddy.

He is a very calm baby. Ready for a bath.


Dr. Roll, she delivered all of our babies.

Eddy getting his Apgar score. Kristy making sure he is not left alone.
7 pounds 13.5 ounces

Picture of Ruby and Moxy says it all. They were worried looking at first.






Wow, this picture really proves how big Moxy has grown.

Ruby's First Day of School




Ruby outside of her school with Moxy and Kristy.

8:15a is a little early for us, but we all arrived just in time.
This is what we arrived to. These are actually lines of kids.
Ruby and Riley. Both looking a little worried.
Greg getting one more hug in.
Mrs. Smith (Ruby's teacher) is telling Ruby to put her inside shoes on.
Anna and Maya. They are in a different class, but looking cute.

Cured Fish Eggs




I guess this is what the silver salmon like to eat. Once they are cured you put it on your lure and wait for the bite.
Pretty color.

Berry Picking

We tried to jump a beaver dam, but did not realize how wide it was. The beavers have been bringing the land to the dam.
Ruby so excited to pick salmon berries.
This is the first year that Moxy got into picking berries. Both kids last about two hours hiking on the tundra, and filling their buckets.

We came upon this crane by the water.
Going home. The day was amazing. Nice breeze to keep the bugs away, some cloud coverage every once in a while to keep the sun away, but mostly the water was smooth for a nice ride home.

Birthday Camping

Moxy sitting on his potty, enjoying the river view while it rained on him. He was singing to himself.
Ruby, waking up.



Vidoe of Greg catching the king.

Greg caught a big King up on the Kwethluk.

Ruby doing kung fu moves with her stick.


Moxy caught his first fish. Big dog salmon. He thought it tried to bite him, so we could not get him to touch the fish after this experience.
Pregnant.
Greg trying to catch fish on Ruby's pink pole. We found a fishing spot, which we now refer to as "the barrel" because it is loaded with salmon and trout.

Ruby made Greg some birthday presents. She stuffed his float coat with flowers, wood, and a heart rock. Below, she made Greg a birthday cake.





Fishing at Midnight.
Moxy enjoying the ride home, with his little monkey friend. He put the monkey up to enjoy the views.
