Time Flies

Wow! I woke up this morning and what did I find? SNOW!!! We had a few inches of snow fall last night. I can't believe that it is already winter. The girls were excited to play in what little snow we had while I chopped wood and stacked it. We didn't stay out to long because the temps were way to cold to be out for too long. We didn't hit 40 degrees today and night lows tonight are supposed to be around 25 degrees. We will definately have snow sticking around by Halloween. I have been really bad about updating my blog lately, but I hope that I will be better at sitting down and sharing some news. We got the girl's pictures taken and I thought that they turned out pretty darn cute. I can't believe how big they have gotten and that Cheyenne will be 8 months old in a week. How time does fly.













Liberty celebrated her 4th birthday on the 6th of Sept. She was sooo excited. She asked for a Ladybug cake, so I did my best to satisfy her wants. Here are some pictures of her birthday cake.











We went to Achorage for a road trip to drop my really great friend off at the airport so that she could go home and enjoy her family for two weeks. We went to the zoo and they had what they called "The Imaginarium". It is an area where preschoolers and toddlers can go to learn science. It was a lot of fun and the girls had a blast.





And last but not least....... We bought a Berniese Mountain Dog. My mom called me crazy, but he has turned out to be one of the BEST dogs that we have had. Extremely smart for a puppy he is very mellow, and a little bit lazy. Phillip decided to name him "Ruger". He will get to be about 130 pounds, but they were bred in Switzerland to pull carts up the mountains, herd the sheep to and from eating grounds either by themselves or with a small child from the family, and to be a guard dog for the family farm. The girls absolutely LOVE him and he isn't rowdy around them, so I think it will be a perfect match for our family. Here is a picture of the newest member of our family he is 11 weeks old and already 40 lbs.
