Just to warn you, there's probably going to be an overload of pictures and posts here in the next little bit. Busy days + Justin traveling + Summer fun + Computer cords crashing = No Blogging. So let me show you about what we've been up to! This time in the end of June and July.
The weather was incredible with sunny and warm days and very very little darkness. We took advantage of it.
Taking a break from running around in the field and woods.
The 4th of July!! This day was rainy and cold, not like the typical 4th we're used to. We still went to the parade and carnival, had some great food and even saw a couple of fireworks, though it wasn't really dark enough for them.
Short hair! As most already probably know, I cut my hair! I've been thinking of going short for years but never had the guts and was too attached to my long hair. Well, I cut 10 inches off in March and then another 8 in July and it's now official! I was in mourning for a few days but now I love it!
Bike rides! We have LOVED getting on our bikes, strapping Jocelynn in her trailer and taking to the many paths throughout the parks in the city. They run for miles and miles through beautiful woods or along the coast. Justin has also really gotten into mountain biking along the awesome trails through the woods.
Watching the planes! Lake Hood is the world's largest float plane lake, and it's 5 minutes from our house! There are a ton coming in and out all day and are pretty cool to watch take off and land, especially on a warm, sunny day!
Company picnic! I should've taken more pictures because of the fun friends we have who's husbands work with Justin. But it was a great night and Joce got her face painted for the first time! Justin's company merged with BDO in July so this was a picnic with both old and new.
Walk and Hiking! Biking isn't the only way we've been getting around :)
Oh Desoto... he's been enjoying the outdoors too whether in our backyard or the woods, which sometimes is close to the same thing if we let him outside the gate. However, he can't go everywhere with us so one of the times we left this is what I saw peeking from the garage...watch out neighbor kids!
Missing Sunsets. People really are so right when they say the summers in Alaska are incredible. This summer we hit a record for the most consecutive days over 75 degrees, which started late after the record for the longest winter, but we'll take it! I know, 75 degrees isn't all that hot, but it was still GREAT! And with the sun not going down at all or not until the wee hours of the morning, there was a lot to do and no missing out on the beautiful skies and landscapes. These pictures were both taken after midnight from our upstairs window. The tall building you can see is Justin's work.
Birthday! It was my turn for a birthday this month and though Justin was traveling that week I was blessed with no shortage of love from family and friends.
Justin home! It's the busy season so Justin has been traveling a bunch, but when he is home he doesn't miss a beat in getting into the fun of it all. These are Jocelynn's sunglasses haha!
Picture overload! I know we're already way past picture overload, but I have so many that I want to share and have for keepsakes so bare with me!
Fun at Home! These pictures I just thought were so cute and funny. While we've had a bunch of fun outside doing all sorts of things, some of the best times are also playing around at home.
