Happy Summer

By -
Today marks the longest day of the year. We have over 19 hours of daylight, but after today, we begin losing daylight. That means we are catapulting towards winter (which I cannot even think about right now), in the meantime, we are going to soak up the sun!

Before I get to today's activities, let me share with you how I found my family after diligently updating my blog for you.

Sean and Emelia sleeping

I took the girls to the zoo today. On our way there, we saw:

Two mooses
Momma and baby.

Grouchy Autumn
At the zoo I had Autumn in the jogger and Emelia in my Moby. FAIL! Autumn climbed in and out of that stroller so many times, she was making me nuts!

By some miracle, the petting zoo was open today.
Bunny

Giggling

Silly Autumn
I love this picture! Autumn kept covering her mouth to laugh.

She was laughing
That girl cracks me up!

Bider, AHHHHHH
Right here Autumn saw a "gary bider" and tough Riley was trying to kill it.

Both girls looking super cute

Friends
Two little bumps on a log.

Couldn't have asked for a nicer day, it got up to 71! We had a great time at the zoo, a quiet afternoon at home (which included taking a nap on the back porch) and now Sean is cooking us some flank steak.

Looks like a fun trip to the zoo. I love how Autumn covers her mouth to laugh! So cute!

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...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
