Out on snow shoes.

By -
We've been meaning to go for a few weeks now, but finally, we got out on our (Sean's) snow shoes.

Ship Creek Trail
We headed over to Ship Creek Trail. Not to far from the house, not too technical and you can sled there if you like.

In my car
Emelia got in the car and

Emelia is the driver
Drove us there. Oh just kidding, I had to include these pictures though because she is so darn cute.

Cherish and the squealer
I had Emelia.

Getting there
Sean had Autumn. On a side note, we finally got our hard top and I must admit, having that glass back there makes it so much easier to get in and out than with the soft top.

Cherish and Emelia
We got everybody all geared up, took a few photos,

Yawn
I guess this is boring......

Autumn
But I love to take her little picture.

Sean and Autumn

Off they go
Then got moving.

Off they go
Off they go. Isn't it pretty out there?

We need to get Autumn use to the snow again. It happens every year and we sort of have to train her to deal with the conditions, after a few weeks, she'll be good to go again. Emelia did great- she was talking, cooing, excited and everything else about being out there.

Are you serious
At one point, Autumn wanted me to hold her, do you see the look on her face! Doesn't that just about beat all. Shortly after this shot, I almost fell down and Autumn decided it was a safer bet to hang with her dad!

All three girls
I won't lie one bit, I didn't mind it at all that Autumn wanted to go with Sean!

All that snow
All that snow on those great big trees.

The view
Not sure if you can see it, but in the distance, the sun is glimmering off the mountain top snow.

Bear den
A bear den maybe?

Another view
More views.

We headed even further up to the skiing area parking lot and sat on a ski lift for a few photos and views.

Heart
Don't you love Alaska?

Swinging
My sweet girl in Miss Cindy lou hoo's hat.

Two of my people
Sean and Autumn enjoying the view from the ski lift swing.

Turn the whale.
Safe and sound back at the car. Autumn wanted to "turn the whale."

That's it for us today. Until next time!

The Jordan's.

I love seeing ya'll out having such a good time together! I think planning ahead for your holidays is so smart and sad at the same time. Thank you guys again for adjusting your lives for us all! I have to say the picture of Emalia driving brought the biggest smile though! Autumn's scary addition to Halloween decor was fantastic! Cindy's been here but I have missed all but a few minutes with them and hope to see them tomorrow again to meet her parents. Thanks for sharing :)

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...
