It's been super warm for this time of year here in Alaska as a result we have lots and lots of ice puddles.

Today Garret had tons of fun jumping in them

The shots are a little blurry but I love each one of them.

So what's the weather like in you neck of the woods.

It's ben a warm 47 here for the last coupel of day rather strange for this time of year normaly it's 10 below.

365 Days {Day 3 }

{Life through my eyes}

I thought this was a fitting shot for my 365 days of pictures.

I think life through my eyes pretty much sums up this little project that I am doing.

Don't you?

I want to thank everyone for your warm comments and sweet emails encouraging me to do this.

I know this is only day 3 but I am loving it.

365 Days {Day 2 }

{In The corner}

Ben has been struggling to keep his voice down, he seems to shout every thing he says.

We had a talk with him told him every time he shouted in the house he was going to stand in the corner.

I was in the shower today and when I got out I found Ben in the corner.

I said did Dad catch you shouting again?

He said no i caught my self shouting so I put my self in the corner.

I love this boy!

As a side note many of you have expressed that you wanted to play along,

leave me a comment if you are so I can check your post..

Dinner and a movie!

For Christmas Grandpa and Grandma Wilderness gave us a gift card so we decided to use the gift card to the movies with.

We asked the kids what they wanted to see and they all agreed on Tron.

We had seen the sneak peek at California adventures next to Disneyland and loved it.

We bought our very expensive 3D movie tickets took our glasses and settled into watch the show!

Doesn't Maddy look darling in her glasses?

Ben looks quite dashing in his glass too.

( Nobody else would let me take pictures of them)

We Loved the movie it was much better than the original.

It was all very techno but interesting it was a good family flick.

After the movie we went  to dinner at our favorite pizza place, the moose's tooth.

If you ever come to Alaska you must eat here.

They have homemade root beer and cream soda and there pizzas are to die for yummy.

We had the avalanche, the Santa's helper, The Rockefeller and the Chipolata steak pizza.

( I told then to please stop acting goofy and take a serous shot I guess this is what I get for asking They are all a bunch of smart alec's if you ask me)

I snuck into this pictuer with Maddy just to say I was there too.

I love spending time with my family I am so glad when I get to spend the whole day with them.

I am a little sad that they go back to school tuseday.

This has been a fun Christmas break.

So How has your Christmas break been?

365 Days {day 1}

{First kiss of the year!}

First shot of the new year and first kiss.

I could not stop laughing when I looked at the picture and saw that Garrett had made his way into the shot .

As I have been telling you for years we can never get a serous shot in our family.

Moments like this I wouldnt change it for anything.

Happy New year!

Last post of 2010!!

This has been a great year I can't believe how fast it has gone by.

We are saying goodbye to 2010 by hanging out and acting goofy.

Setting off fireworks

and watching fireworks.

Happy new year!!

I am that girl:(

I never understood how somebody could start something and never finish it.

Like a book who starts a book and never fishes even if it's poorly written or boring I finish the book,the only time I have never finished a book was when it was so vulgar and nasty.

Sewing and craft projects I never understood why somebody would start a project just to leave it hanging.

Well I guess I under stand now because I have become that girl.

I have 15 unfinished sewing projects. Yikes.

I didn't even know it until I cleaned out my sewing bins looking for a scarf I started before Christmas that I put away in my haste to clean the house for a showing.

I was shocked as I found project after project that I had started and almost fished but stopped for some reason.

I guess I am just that unfinished project girl now.

For a little while anyways.

My goal if to finish all my unfinished projects next week.

Rules to live by..

Our sweet William

Make an on-line slideshow at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I can't believe  that it's been five years ago to day that William left this earth.
We love and miss you.

Hidden stash.

I went to put away Robbie's laundry and found this in side his drawer.

I think I would hide my candy too if Garrett was my roommate.

An Alaskan sunset at 3:30 pm.

I love watching the sun set we have amazing ones here in Alaska.

Lately at about 2pm the mountains are a majestic purple.

I never understood the line in the song my Country ti's of thee {Purple mountains majesty} until we moved here..

I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place.

I will miss it when we leave.

HEADBANZ

This is a super fun game!!

Kadie and Dan got the game for the kids for Christmas.

They loved it!!

The idea of the game is to guess what card is on your head you get to ask the other players questions to help you figure it out.

Mylissa was doing awesome at the game until.

Dale pointed out to the other players that she was seated in front of the mirror.

If you want lots of laughs this is the game for your family..

365 days of pictures and blogging..

As I was reflecting over my goals for 2010 I couldn't help but think of what my goals of 2011 would be.

I know for sure that I want to blog with more meaning, and keep a better pictorial journal.

So I decided to take a picture every day of 2011 and blog about it.

I will still have regular post , you might hear more about me and my life than you want to.

I also hope to get back into scrap booking this year and hopefully share more crafting post.

I also hope to meet more blog friends and be a better commenter than I am.

I am also inviting my blog readers to do keep a 365 day pictorial journal on your blogs.

If you choose to play a long let me know so I can comment and take a peek into your lives.

Just dance!

For Christmas Shelly gave the family the Wii game just dance 2.

It's a dance game where you fallow the dancer on the screen.

First you have to warm up.

Then you pick out a song.

Dance

And dance

and Dance.

It is super fun and a great work out believe me you will be sweating and gargling your heart..

I plan on doing this a lot this week maybe I will loose and the weight I packed on this holiday season.

My question for you did you get any thing fun for Christmas?
