The Alaska State Fair.

Made a trip to the fair today. First stop:

Photobucket
Enough said.

As if donut holes weren't enough, we stopped to get deep fried zucchini as well. Autumn loved eating the ranch dressing for the zucchini and I'm pretty sure she ate her fair share of donut holes.

3 of a kind
Three of a kind. Yep, I'm the odd one out with my non blond hair.

Silly Dylan
I thought this was a cute picture of Dylan.

The big hit of the day,

Totally surrounded
The petting zoo. Autumn totally surrounded.

Pet goat
She really liked the goat.

Bunny Autumn
The bunny.

Autumn the llama
There was a baby cow in front of her mooing and it was pretty much freaking her out. Of course, when that Llama behind her jumped, my heart about hit the floor, but I grabbed Autumn up quickly and everything was fine.

Petting the piglets
The only things in there smaller than Autumn were the piglets and boy were those guys cute!

Cow pen
Sean, you know what is happening here right? And check out Dylan trying to get the latch open!

Cherish and Autumn
Hold the presses, it is a picture with me in it!

We thought the kids would nap on the way up, the way back or both.
In the car
FAIL!!

I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but Cindy fed us again! We had quesadilla's and tortilla chips. It was totally awesome!

Lovin on a horse
Autumn was giving the horse some love.

Riding a horse
I wouldn't let her ride a real horse at the state fair, but it looks like she didn't mind. We figured we'd go back with you and let her ride a pony if you think she can handle it.

It was a rough night last night. Autumn had a nightmare I think (probably about her doctors appointment). She woke up at 11 pm and didn't go back to sleep until well after 1 am. I hope she sleeps much better tonight and that tomorrow goes much better than today.

I hope you aren't working too hard and that you got some sleep today. I love you.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

Two days without you.

You take Autumn to do such fun things! Hope she gets to ride a horse! Was it a horse or a pony?

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
