A visit with the 'Rents.

I'm pretty sure that Millie believes she is a princess.


Do you recognize what she drew?

There was some drama involved with our little sleepover last night.

All I will say is that when Megan went home, I secretly did a happy dance.

We had a pretty boring day, but I decided it was time to


Wash that gray right out of my hair.

Around 3 pm I got a call from your sister, she wanted us to come over early so we could visit.


So after I got my henna all washed out,


Took some more cute pictures of Millie,


Found my phone after Millie stole it,


I got my hair all finished up and


Took a picture with Autumn.

We headed over to Sam's which was a hot mess!

After about 20 minutes, I Finally got my rotisserie chickens.

I had to tell people to calm down, there would be plenty of chickens for everyone.

We spent the early evening until just a few minutes ago with your sister.

We had a pretty significant storm roll through, so I was checking on things in the backyard.


That is when I saw two eyes staring at me.

Initially this fat frog was hanging out on the door frame.

I guess I scared it.

The girls thought it was cool.

While we were at your parents house,

I told Brandon he was acting like a baby.

Basically Winston and Holly were hitting people and Julie/Brandon were not disciplining them.

I didn't say anything until Holly put her hands on Millie.

Brandon said very sarcastically, "did she break your arm off Millie?"

I replied, that if that was the way he wanted to handle things, I would instruct Millie to "handle" Holly the next time she laid a hand on her and lets see if he liked those results.

Julie said that someone should hit them and teach them a lesson.

I said SOMEONE... TRY THEIR PARENTS!

He acted like a jerk the rest of the evening.

When I finally had enough of his crap, I just told him he was acting like a woman and to knock it off.

He took Winston and left.

He didn't come back until everyone was leaving.

He didn't say boo to me.

While we were at your parents house,


Your dad took all the kids on an adventure.


Now that we are home,

the girls fell fast asleep.

They were up late last night and now tonight.

Autumn asked me as I was tucking her in,

"Mommy? Can you send daddy in?"

OH, did you hear my heart break?

Not how I thought I would end the day, but there you have it.

Little reminders that pull on your heart.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo
Day 19

Snowzilla.

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.
