Brody's Pool Party

Autumn was super excited about this. I think it helps that not only did they get to talk to you, but they got to see Grandma just before this. The girls were extremely hyper today. I mean more than usual. I think, we are finally getting over whatever horrible virus someone gave us.

In any event, there was a pool AND a big old water slide.

She had so much fun on there. I'd say she spent just as much time in the pool as she did on the slide.

She is such a beautiful girl.

It took Millie some time to warm up to the idea of the pool. After a while, I asked Brody's mom if she had a float. I would have brought ours, but I didn't want to assume there was a pool. She did have a float and that is when Millie finally took off! On a side note, the other little girl on the step is in Millie's class and Millie knows her name. Millie told me the girls name in front of her dad and he was astounded that Millie knew that.

Of course allowing Millie to do her Millie thing got me lots of dirty looks from the other mom's, but hey! That is the story of my life and quite frankly my dear, I just do not give a damn!

Now for some Autumn pictures!

Jump!

Splash!

I have my floatie on!

The only picture I got of the birthday boy and his mom stepped right in the way! Brody turned 4 today.

Putting her toes in the water.

More cannon balls, as Autumn says!

I'm telling you, this girl was meant to be in the water! She loves it!

The girl love to dance!

We had to stop by Walmart on the way home. I needed milk and I wanted to go by the beer section. I saw the Samuel Adam's Octoberfest and while it makes me sad that you cannot have one, I'm super happy I could indulge in one!

Photobucket
I might even grab another one!

I love you and I miss you so very much. Not a day goes by without me wondering and thinking about you and just wishing you were here. Autumn is starting to tell people that she doesn't even know that she misses you and that you've been gone at work a LONG time. I'll be glad when the count gets into the triple digits because that means we are that much closer to having you home with us.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 85 days of wishing for you.

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...
