Well, like most Alaskans, in the summer we are MIA. The days are too long and summer season too short to be stuck in doors on a computer....so now that Fall is finally back I hope to get back to posting a little more. The other excuse is our computer....I have been harping on Kris to get a new one. Half the time I can't get pictures to load or it takes so long that I give up in disgust. I believe this is my 6th try.
Enough belly aching. SUMMER WAS GREAT. We had family galore, a great June, and so far NO SNOW. A quick synopsis...
June- we had the best june ever (literally, it went down in the records) We had 15 days of consecutive temperatures 70 or above. To put this into perspective, I have been through a summer in Alaska where there was only 5 days of 70 or above TOTAL for the summer. Bronson and I loved it. We spent as much time as possible outside. Still not warm enough for an outdoor pool but we were able to play in buckets and enjoy outdoor play. It also made for a great first camping season. It's easy to camp when you aren't rained on.
In July, Kris's brother Kreighton, and his family came up to visit. We had a good time. The picture below is of us all at Russian river falls. Jamison got close to a bear and Kreighton caught fish. That constitutes a good trip.
My sister came up in July as well. It was the most time we have ever been able to spend together, and I for one, loved it. She is a good kid and I am proud to call her my sister. She is currently a freshman at Arizona State and doing great.
Our best friends, Abbey and Kyle and Aubrey came to visit as well. This was fun because Bronson got to see his girlfriend. Abbey and I have always planned to have our kiddos close together so we can always be close to one another. I miss her dearly....someday maybe we will be mother in laws.
Speaking of mother in laws. We had both sets of grandparents up to visit. I love that they are able to come up and spend time with Bronson one-on-one. Our next trip home will be xmas.
Well lets see...other than that not much else to report. I am working more and Bronson is enjoying going to school. Lately he has learned to crawl up on everything..couch, chairs, the fireplace. I must say i am sure this is my own fault because i have been taking him to "open gym" gymnastics where he gets to crawl and bounce on everything.
He is not formally talking but i am pretty share he says Baaaarrr which means bear and mooo which means more. and of course mamamamamamam.
Will post pictures of our halloween costumes next. Happy fall
