Most superheroes have fancy costumes, but some are so cute they don’t need one at all… Today Niki and I were blessed with the presence of our favorite super hero in our house and I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a few photo’s. This is really my first foray into black and […]

Mount Redoubt, Bring It On…
Well as I’m sure you’re all aware, Mount Redoubt finally blew yesterday and is continuing to do so. I wish that I could have got some pics of it but as circumstances had it she came like a theif in the night. But, that doesn’t mean that we’re not prepared, I think the following speaks for itself… […]
Sick Day Drive
As many of you know the shenanigans aren’t feeling all that well this week. We’ve been lying low and staying pretty close to home the last couple days. Enough so that we’re getting tired of just being at home. So, Nya and I (ty) decided to go for a little drive in my truck to […]
O 2 B 2
My little Nya bug continually impresses me with her vocabulary and comprehension, and today was no exception! So here are a few fun stories for the day…If Mommy Says No, Ask JesusI was nursing Elli and Nya walks up and says “Mommy, paint Nya’s nails?” (at least now she’s asking instead of just doing it […]
Ski Day
Today Ryan and I (friend from work), came up to Alyeska for a day of riding. It's beautiful out but a little cold so far. About 5 degrees… Were eating lunch right now. Just thought I'd drop a note.
“More pickle please?”
… said Nya after eating a bowl of pasta and 4 baby dills. And what happened next? … up she blows. Nasty. Yes, I should have trusted my better judgment after day #4 of barfing and diarrhea, BUT the fact she even had an appetite made me want to give her whatever she was asking […]
Which Is Grosser?
…. barf or diarrhea? … or how bout both mixed? Ya, I know. Disgusting. That’s what I got to clean up in Nya’s high chair after finally getting both girls to bed tonight (a tiny miracle in itself). My poor babies are both sick so my day started out with cleaning up puke and ended […]
Is it Worth It?
As an Alaskan mom I often ask myself this question when it comes to winter activities. On average it takes about 20 minutes to get both the girls and myself ready to go play outside in the winter. And how long do we actually spend outside?… hmmm… on a good day, maybe 25 minutes. Then […]
Who Made The Moon & Stars?
So it turns out I get a lot of praise from the hubby for blogging, which in turn motivates me to do it more! I think I get way more “atta-girls” for blogging than doing the laundry or cooking so I’ve decided I’ll let those things go and spend that extra time blogging every day… […]
