I knew this would happen...

I had a garden tour this year of my fruit trees and bushes.  Lots of people asked about moose...   we generally don't get any, it's been about 8 years or so.  So of course I figured after talking about them they'd show up.  Sure enough, this morning Elic and Rosalee had gone out to the truck and then started yelling at the dog... he was over by the moose, and the cow was kicking at him.   It was a cow and twins....  GREAT!!!

One of the little ones came over and found the pumpkin... so I should probably get those moved away from the plants at least.
They don't seem to have really had a chance to eat much.  So hopefully they just find there way down to the flats and don't head back this way.   Guess time will tell--- if I get any apples, cherries, or currants next year!!!  

I know everyone wants to see pictures of me!!!

So today I did some self portraits.....
Chance's nose posed with me....
The sun was out for a little bit and it made the trees look so nice.... at -2 degrees!!!

My favorite naps....

So obviously they aren't sleeping... but this is the arrangement at the cabin.  They all cozy in and then wake up nice and perky.... like this!
Rosalee isn't much of a napper anymore, but she is definitely a sleeper-in-er!!   Any chance she gets...  (camping)
This is one of my favorite's!   Elic was about 5 and one day wandered in and he had fallen asleep like this, in front of the t.v.   How perfect?!!
This one was when Georgea was 3.   Just had a busy summer day and crashed out in the swingset...  I happened to have just cut the dahlia so laid it up there and took some pics.  
Also when she was 3...   walked through the living room after realizing someone was missing... she'd fallen asleep across the footstool...   It's amazing where kids sleep!!  :)

Halloween

The princess and the dog construction worker.

The whole gang gathered together after trick-or-treating...  good times in 10 degree weather.

Trip to Seward... just because!

A couple of ladies walked by and thought we needed some mountains in our background so they took a pic for/0f us...
We had mountains in our background anyways, but the offer was nice.  :)
We went down on a Friday afternoon, hung out at the MWR room,  then on Saturday walked around town, and then ended up at this park.  The kids ran off some energy before we headed back home.

This was a big crab... there was a train behind that... a really cute park.
All of the kids really liked the chair swing.
Elic loving the swing too...   it's a little difficult to get the pics when they keep flying by.
They all liked the bouncy bridge thing... good view of Mt Marathon behind them.
This is my favorite driving road....  the one with no other cars in site.  It's becoming more and more rare around here....
