This is one of those AS SEEN ON TV screens. Didn't last long before Max the cat and Grizzly the dog, jumped the gate. Darn them!! It gets really warm and stuffy not being able to open the door. We only have 1 window on the first floor. The mosquitoes were HORRIBLE!! We look like we have chicken pox. We keep a burning coil outside the front door to HELP keep them away. It does help. Otherwise the mosquitos swarm the front door waiting to be let it.</div>

The girls are on the same T-Ball team. The boys are in the Minors, Dodges. This is a step down for them. :( They did kid pitch last summer, but because we don't have that many team (4), the kids are on the minors. It's good for them. They are doing great.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">See the "hut" behind all the "trash"? That is a steam house. The native men will take steam showers every couple weeks. Water is very expensive here, so them steam clean themselves. The temperature is around 200 to 250 degrees inside the shorter part. Then when you need a break, you go in the taller part to "cool off". You sponge yourself and then go back inside the steam room. The process is repeated about 3 times. It is considered an honor to be invited to go. We have a friend that has gone a couple times. It is more about the social aspect than getting clean. I can attest to that. Get in a group on natives and if you released trapped gas.... no one would notice. It really feels like a 3rd world country at times.<br /><br />With food as expensive as it is, when the kids have friends over, they will eat and eat and eat. Hunter has even told me not to pack certain things in his lunch, because the other kids will take it.<br /><br />I have got to say, discipline of children is VERY lacking EVERYWHERE! How I was corrected as a child is so, dated and frowned upon today. Well, it worked, why mess with what worked????? The kids today, we really see things with a lot of the native kids, there is NO discipline at home. Suspension is a vacation, that is what I heard a 4th grade girl tell the principle yesterday when she wasn't yelling at the teachers, calling them stupid, and running around the building with another girl. The disrespect is incomprehensible!!! There was a kid in Hunter's class that called the teacher a B****, in front of the whole class. The Dean was called in, the kid punched and kicked the Dean while he carried the boy to the office, 5 day suspension. This is the same kid that choked Hunter in the restroom. Sadly this boy's father has been in jail most of his life. That is the same for most of the kids here. Alcohol is such a problem! It is the root of all evil, SO VISIBLE HERE. From what I have been told, most kids are addicted to alcohol by the 7th or 8th grade. How sad is that? Unfortunately, lack of discipline.... these kids will be Paul's problem as soon as they are legal. There is no breaking the system in sight. It truly is very sad! You know the saying, I takes a village to raise a child?? Yea, not here. Backs are turned. Okay, off my soap box!!<br /><br />From what I am learning with the culture, you do not embarrass or correct the natives. So the parents do not correct the children. Especially in public. They are soft spoken people. So we stand out, HA! The do not commit to things. We were going to a church, where we were the minority, service starts at 10, most people didn't show up until, 10:15. There was a walk-up choir. Who ever wanted to sing, just goes up to the front, Anyone. <br /><br />We did not go into those blind. We had heard stories about the native Yupik's. We prepared our children, we told them about what the culture considers acceptable, but it is not acceptable for us or legally. Yes, that's right they consider some activities okay, that Paul would arrest them for. However, there is so much of it, that unless, they report it, it continues. But we also looked at this as an opportunity to really experience another culture. We may be in the same state, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Soldotna was so different from Kentucky. Bethel is so different from Soldotna. Does not compare in ANY way. Nothing similar. Life is very slow pace. Subway and a few local restaurants, so we mostly cook at home. We are really improving our cooking skills in all areas, including foreign foods. I became a Pampered Chef consultant to replace our cookware that has seen better days, and to meet people. There is minimal shopping. Shopping is online. So home based businesses do well here. <br /><br />Life here is hard and very different than what we ever experienced before, but it really isn't that bad. The kids are adjusting. Simon and Olivia are enrolled in school next year. No homeschooling for me! or them, Hah! We need a break. Hunter really enjoys school, for the most part. He even befriended, that kid that was bullying him (there was other things, not just that final incident). They are learning to have compassion for the native kids. Abby is a social butterfly! The curriculum is much further along than Soldotna. She is reading! As great as that is, Kindergarten has become too formal! Kindergartners should be learning to learn. Okay, sorry off my soap box again. Olivia will be in Kindergarten next year. She is so excited!! Simon will be in 3rd grade and Hunter in 5th. Uh Oh.. getting into the girls. Well, they love him. They love to touch is hair. Isn't that funny?? Abby started Ballet, Olivia didn't want to. All four all doing Little League. Yes there is a League here, though it is 2 years old, I think they will helping coach it. Not really kidding about that. They have been playing since they were 3, they did Kid Pitch last summer. I am selling shirts for the coach. Yes, there are no tournaments here, small. Very small. They will play against each other. The boys and Abby are signed up for Art camp. Since there are no Bill Boards here, dumpsters are used for advertising. The kids will paint the dumpsters and make art projects. The boys have also been doing a little karate. But the big thing is going hunting and trapping.<br /><br />I am realizing, we are Alaskans. What we consider fun and exciting, is looked down upon. I really what to learn how to sew furs and skins. Yeah, not what PETA would be happy about. The kids love to go shooting. Hum... child protective services would be knocking at our door. It is a way of life here. we are loving it. Having a hard time relating to people's lives in the lower 48 or outside (outside Alaska). The boys say we are Bethelians (not a term).<br /><br />Yes, Life is hard, very different from the outside, but that's okay. Alaska is our home and forever will be considered home. God has provided and taken care of us. We are experiencing things that most people frown upon. That's fine. We feel more complete, learning the things we have learned. Kind of like McGyvor (spelling??), HAHA. We like it here, in Bethel (notice I didn't say love). It grows on you. Besides, it is what it is. Except it. Deal with it. Move on. That's my philosophy. Just enough to enjoy our time here required and then move on to the next place that the Lord opens up, whether another village, Dillingham, Nome....... I told Paul, it just has to be beautiful. I REALLY miss the beauty the Alaska has, very dirty here. No trees, No mountains, not many animals other than stray dogs (spaying and neutering are a problem here ) (that's how we got our dog, a Bethel Special). We are making wonderful friends. The troopers are becoming extended family. We look out for each other. Though the sunrise and sun sets are amazing!!! I'm an optimist, what can I say. </td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
up in Anchorage with Chad (Paul's brother) and Tami and the kids. What a wonderful time!! We shopped ( our first time in the city in 3 months, stock up on supplies). We did a lot of outdoor activities during the day and watched movies, played pool, and sat in the hot tub at night. The temperatures were in the high 30's and low 40's, perfect temperatures! Remember, we just came from negative temperatures. Poor Kentucky Secor's, they came from 70's. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We when to the Wildlife Conservation (one of our favorite places) and Bouncing Bears, land of inflatables (there was an episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska where Bristol took Tripp there). We sledded, a ton. Skiing was awesome! We all took lessons and then took to the slopes! Simon and Daniel snow boarded and the rest of us skied. We also celebrated Resurrection Sunday with each other. What a busy week. Great times!</div>

Left: on a lot of the buildings, there are these boards hanging. The wind is so strong, they help block the wind. Another different thing here. In some offices, you are required to take off your shoes in the Arctic entry (a small room before opening the front door, to keep the arctic air from going inside). There is so much dirt and mud, see in the next picture. Our dog, Grizzly, gets a bath, at least once a day. As far as I can tell, the only pavement is on the main road and is a few parking lots. Mostly dirt and gravel, mostly dirt, roads and very fine dirt at that. Think about that... in the summer... wind blowing... windows open... I don't know about that. People have told us that you will get a thin layer of dirt on EVERYTHING. Hummm. These below, the slough, by our compound.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--DUKkkDFNss/UXmVTefmoMI/AAAAAAAACPo/29QrqRsSQLM/s1600/IMG_1216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--DUKkkDFNss/UXmVTefmoMI/AAAAAAAACPo/29QrqRsSQLM/s200/IMG_1216.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />

Abby is wearing her kuspuk while her class dances and sings in the festival. She will be singing in Yupik (native dialect) (pronounced: u-pick). In children's sizes, these generally sell for $40-50.00. Simon and Olivia have already picked out fabric for theirs. Olivia picked out Dora and Simon picked out Bears (not Chicago Bears).<br />
<br />
Yes, Rick Rack is in style here (only on kuspuks)!<br />

This is Grizzly, our Bethel Special. There are a lot of stray dogs around here. We were headed into the bank and he was sitting by the door. We are not sure what type of dog he is. There is no regular vet here. There is a clinic one week a month, that a vet comes in to take care of animals. There isn't even a shelter here, there is a rescue that flies the dogs out to Anchorage for a good chance to be adopted. Grizzly was about 2 months old when the kids found him shivering and starving.<br />

We celebrated Simon's Birthday (the Avengers, Incredible Hunk) January 6th and Paul's on the 20th. My wonderful neighbor made these cakes for me. This is her hobby. I think I know where I will be getting our cakes!</div>

Here is the best I could do for a map of Bethel. The villages, Paul is assigned to are circled, though he does get sent to the others as well. We will be doing 2 overnights a week.

We had a long day, but short travel time. 20 minute flight Kenai to Anchorage, then 1 hour flight to Bethel. Olivia was sick, poor baby! We all (except Paul and Simon) got sick days later.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iQ8yyjj8RRI/UP83cDZ9-mI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/PSyngX3ogO0/s1600/IMG_0150.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iQ8yyjj8RRI/UP83cDZ9-mI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/PSyngX3ogO0/s200/IMG_0150.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />

So we did a lot of artwork. Played in the alder (bush), watched movies on the small TV we brought. We had checked 24 bags of clothes, food, toys, air beds, toiletries, supplies, towels, and plastic dishes. That didn't last us 3 weeks. The cat's could only hide under the sinks. Max and Sophie got really good at opening the doors. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LBukDx9cz8o/UP84gJppnyI/AAAAAAAAB-I/G7qLPfHAOuo/s1600/IMG_0192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LBukDx9cz8o/UP84gJppnyI/AAAAAAAAB-I/G7qLPfHAOuo/s200/IMG_0192.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gRhLZs_z_x8/UP84qHN3OsI/AAAAAAAAB-U/P-rtqkgpkVw/s1600/IMG_0212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gRhLZs_z_x8/UP84qHN3OsI/AAAAAAAAB-U/P-rtqkgpkVw/s200/IMG_0212.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>

As we knew the time was coming for Paul to bid, we knew it was the time to go. We received word, that we were moving to Bethel. He had 90 days until we move, December 28th was the day we fly out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bethel is a village of about 6,000 people, 7 miles of paved road, 56 outlying villages, 340 air miles from Anchorage. It is land locked, as you can only get there by boat or plane. It is 40 miles east of the Bering Sea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The village can be a rough place for kids. Natives aren't always very welcoming. We wanted the kids to transition from elementary to middle with native kids. Besides, we were also told to pull your kids from school by 7th grade. The high school is grades 7-12. Not only are 7th graders being "hit on" by 12th graders, but some 7th and 8th graders are already alcoholics. There is a large alcohol or drinking problem in the villages. We had a lot of apprehension about moving to Bethel, but knew we would be living in trooper housing and that it wouldn't be for long, 2-4 years. We also looked at this as a chance to experience life, only a few get or want to experience. WHAT AN ADVENTURE!</div>

When we got back to the van. Paul, the kids and I left, so EXHAUSTED! Dad and Cathy took a path near the parking lot to spot a fishing sight. No more than 5 minutes after getting there, this 300-400 pound bear came out of the woods! Boy, what we would have done to see it up close like they did!!! Isn't it cute?? It just looked around and went fishing.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166261139485142585.post-37672839302852297882012-07-26T18:51:00.002-07:002012-09-05T15:24:48.989-07:00July 2012 DIP NETTING TIME<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Paul and a friend, took Simon Dip Netting from around 4:00 a.m - 11:30 ish. Then they went back out with Hunter from 8:00 p.m - Midnight. They caught a total of 15 Reds (Salmon). The boys had a great time. Simon was so excited to tell me that when he knocked out one of the Salmon, it's eye flew out! They LOVED IT! SO GROSS!!!!! <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2uhNoBNQHGA/UBHpLBqF7FI/AAAAAAAABmY/hLozbow9wzY/s1600/IMG_4145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2uhNoBNQHGA/UBHpLBqF7FI/AAAAAAAABmY/hLozbow9wzY/s320/IMG_4145.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

One of our daily activities is going to the courts/track near our house. Paul and I run/walk the track, hit tennis balls, shoot hoops. The kids join in or ride their bikes around the track, hide around the bleachers, play ball. We usually end up "running" into friends there. On a sunny day, this is our favorite place to be. </div>

It was been really warm lately, at around 65 degrees, we are playing in the sprinklers and looking for a lake to go swimming. To those outside (Alaska term for, lower 48) 68 is probably your mid 80's without the humidity. But if clouds pass by, it can cool quickly. Lately we have had really nice warm days, then a week of 50's cold and rainy. </div>

It was 4 miles round trip, took about 4 hours. We packed lunch and ate at the top. It was cold and very windy at the top so we huddled into some bushes to warm up and eat. We definitely learned what to/or not to pack and how to pack. Camel packs are on our to get list (water bags that you carry on your back). It has rained the past couple days, so the beginning of the trail was very muddy! </div>

We were up 700 feet elevation. The trail was about a foot to a foot and a half wide. The kids did amazing! The girls got real tired when it got real steep, I don't blame them, it was hard for me too. Paul and I were carrying about 35 - 40 pounds on our backs. The inclines were strenuous at times. But we were very proud of the kids, they did great! The difficulty of the trail was rated, moderate... it was not the mom's who picked it. The boys had a blast hiding in the bear beds and jumping out and surprising us. We though going down would be easier... of course. Not so much, it was a different challenge. Lots of roots to not trip over and ... steep, trying not to fall. As sore as we all were and exhausted... we all had fun and agreed to go on an easier trail with the girls next time.</div>

The boys have enjoyed their cross country skiing lessons and Paul and I have enjoyed accompanying them on the trails. In February, we have the Peninsula Winter Games, including ice sculpture contests. We tried to get pictures with a lot of these amazing sculptures. Yes, Hunter is wearing shorts and coat, and it is 35 degrees. Natural lessons are the best learned... all I am going to say about that wonderful boy. Love his drive for learning. Ha Ha!</div>

Hunter and Simon started ski lessons. The lessons were canceled for 2 weeks because they don't ski if it is below 0. When I picked them up after their first lesson, they had ice sickles on their eye lashes. They loved it!!! I am looking forward to getting out there with them.<br />
<br />
IN GOD'S PROTECTION: On the 2nd, Paul and Abby were supposed to drive to Anchorage for Abby's doctors appointment. The Day before, we had blizzard conditions with little visibility, knowing that the weather in the Pass is always worse than it is here, I debated whether or not to reschedule the appointment. Abby really needed to be seen for issues with her throat, so I really struggled with it. <br />
<br />
When I got home, I told Paul I had changed the appointment. He said he would be fine and really wanted to get up there and back, just change it back, he said. I really didn't think it was safe. I felt God nudging my heart. I am so glad he did.<br />
<br />
The next day, the day they would have left, Paul got an email that there had been an avalanche. The avalanche happened at 7:00 Thursday morning. At the time they were planning on leaving, Paul and Abby would have been at the spot where the avalanche took place at the same time it collapsed. It was 100 feet wide and 10 feet tall. I feel so blessed that I listened to the nudge.<br />
<br />
Temperatures are now in the 20's, you almost don't need a winter coat. Heck, after so long with it being down to -25, a 40 degree jump, if it warms up another 20, we will want to pull out our summer clothes. In the summer, we sometimes have days in the high 40's, it is usually raining.<br />
