David Britt Park and Cupcakes.

I've been by the David Britt park a few times, but never really stopped at it until NOW.

Can you tell they are happy about it? Autumn has been staying up way too late. I have to put an end to that, after tomorrow! ha ha Tomorrow is the 4th of July and I just know we won't be able to see anything until dark (9 pm or later). So starting right after tomorrow..... we'll do the going to bed on time. That girl is going to be in a world of hurt if we don't get it under control. When school starts next month, she has to be there at 8 am.

I guess it is summer time though. I digress. I'm getting that look because at 10 am, it is already over 90 degrees out there!

Aha! That is more like it. At least most of the trail was shaded.

We stopped at some of the fitness stations and this is Autumn showing you her muscles.

Oh my gosh, I made it in a picture!

About a half mile in we bumped into the park. Time to play.

That lasted about 20 minutes and we were really hot! I bribed Autumn out of there with promises of the pool!

We mistakenly went to K-Mart, came home, Millie put herself down for naptime and Autumn and I chatted with you. Once I finished talking with you, I made myself an Italian grilled cheese sandwich. It was good!!! Then Autumn and I got in the pool. After 5 minutes, I thought I heard thunder. I stood up and looked around and saw lightening. I told Autumn we had to get out. She was so disappointed. I decided the best way to cheer her up was:

Make/Bake some cupcakes.

Millie was down with that plan too!

Millie really likes sprinkles.

Silly girls.

Once again, Autumn took care of decorating and

Millie took care of eating.

Autumn says this one is for you.

Millie told me she wanted to talk with you. I hope we can hook that up sometime soon.

For now:

We have happy, smiling, cake eating girls!

I love you and miss you so much.

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.
