Kindergarten Graduation

I have a few things to discuss with you this evening....

First of all, Millie's birthday is on Friday. Her party is in June. Millie really, really loves Elsa from Frozen. I found this:


This cake is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! My *ahem* friends, say that I should try and make Millie this cake.

Do you remember this gem???


A birthday cake I made you while you were deployed.

Yeah, if that is my best artistic feat at making a cake, uhm.............. Millie is in trouble!!!!!

On to Autumn's Author's Tea at school yesterday.


She was cute as a button!





After the singing, each child sat in front of the class and read a book they wrote, illustrated and published.


Here is Autumn.

Once everyone finished reading, each child was called up to receive a packet.


Mrs Irvin told Autumn that she loved her.

Autumn's packet had:


Completion of Kindergarten.


The Citizen Award.


An excellent reading certificate.


Autumn and her friend Kaleigh.


Silly faces!!!!


Autumn and Camri.


Mrs Blanton, Autumn and Mrs Irvin.


Random thought/picture. Google really does know what/where/when I'm doing things!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love running. I hate running. I hate/love running. Oh my goodness! It is so freaking hot! The girls weigh a thousand pounds! Will it ever stop!!


Millie had ballet today and we discovered that she requires makeup for the recital. I've enlisted the help of a local friend. She is going to show me how to do some makeup magic. Thank goodness because I really am clueless when it comes to makeup.


Autumn finally photo bombed Millie back!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHA

While I sit here and write this to you, I had my youtube account up to post the videos in my blog for you and this video came up:


I was already just missing you and then that came up. I just don't want to do it again. It is my prayer every night that something will change and you will not have to go. I know it is foolish to think it will happen, but maybe, maybe?

To close, I will share a family picture for you. I feel like this accurately represent each one of us girls. I think you know who is who.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

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.
