ALASKA ADVENTURE




SO I'm here in ALASKA, WOW... I have talked about it for so long and now I am actually here!
To say the least it has been wonderful! I have only been here for 3 weeks but in those 3 weeks I have learned and grown more than I can imagine. 
I am nannying for a wonderful family in Anchorage, Alaska and also occasionally Talkeetna on the weekends. The parents Suzanne and Todd work for two different flying services, K2 Aviation and Rust's Flying. This enables me to have fun flying experiences such as glacier landings, and quick trips in a two seated plane. =) 
I nanny for 3 kids.... Jonathan is 9, Anna Christine is 7, and Lollie is 4. They are wonderful kids who I have grown to LOVE so much as I have been here these couple weeks. 

JONATHAN is very smart... he loves school and loves reading. Very clean and very polite and he is so much fun! Tends to get annoyed by his sisters and won't let Anna touch anything because "She doesn't wash her hands." ha

ANNA CHRISTINE doesn't enjoy school or reading and is all about having a good time. She is very messy, loves to get dirty, and has a little attitude. I love when she lets me get her all cute and straighten her hair in the morning for school she says, "I only like to get pretty every once in a while." haha her exact words!!!

LOLLIE is the cutest 4 year old you will ever see. The best part is her sweet, bubbly personality. I love spending my days with her while the kids are at school. She has hearing problems and wears hearing aids but she is speaking pretty well. She has trouble with sounds of words and how to say them correctly. I have started teaching her sign language and she is doing great. She knows how to say Mom, Dad, Please, Thank you, cat, dog, flower, milk, stop now, and beautiful. Every morning when she wakes up and we brush her teeth and do her hair she always does the sign for beautiful! She's a cutie and i love all three of these kids SO much!

I will try very hard to keep this updated! =)
