Why Hello Cupcake.

By -
I'm still recovering from mastitis. One way to help speed along the recovery:

Cupcake
Making cupcakes!

Outside
Not just one kind though.

I enlisted the help of my little assistant.

Sifting flour
Have I mentioned that Autumn LOVES to cook? Here she is sifting flour.

Pouring eggs
Pouring in the eggs.

Hands
Showing me she got flour on her hands.

Watching the batter
Autumn knows how to start the food processor. Here she is just watching to make sure our batter doesn't get over mixed.

Daisies
Now Autumn likes flowers too.

Cupcake
I thought they turned out cute.

Flower power
Speaking of flowers....

Tomato
My tomato plant is doing quite well this year. We will see if that guy turns red or not.

Strawberry
Our strawberries are coming in strong. They are a little oddly shaped, but they taste delicious.

Bowl of berries
Autumn likes to pick them and she often doesn't wait for me to get them in the house to clean them.

Autumn
I don't wanna wait....

Picking the berries
Autumn plotting on how she is going to get those strawberries.

Stealing the berries
She decided on the pick them up and run method.

Little old soul
My little old lady Emelia. I just love this outfit Cindy sent me.

Miss Emelia
Cute little girl clothes and cute little girl shoes!

Miss Autumn
Autumn, you are way too gigantic for that thing anymore.

Kick
KICK!

Savage
"Throw it!"

Sweet girl
Looking for her thumb.

Changing a diaper
Autumn changing Emelia's diaper. I know, scary thought.

FLower

Pushup
Autumn doing push ups. Yeah that is right, besides making our 2 year old be a responsible tax paying citizen, we also make her concern herself with physical fitness.

Crazy
Wild Autumn!

Miss E James
Smiley Emelia.

Holding hands

I had my 6 week postpartum check. Everything is fine and I am now childproof!! Just need to recover from the mastitis. So the next time you are feeling sick or blue, think cupcakes!! Until next time, we will be holding on!

Sisters
My sweet girls.

I love love love Autumn's little orange dress! So cute! I can't believe how well your plants are doing too. That's so great! I wish we had a nice pretty yard like that to play in!

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.

Playing with fire.

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...
