Gingerbread House

Autumn mixes in the ingredients.

Gingerbread house accessories.

Finished creation.

Amy and Autumn slaved all day over a hot stove to create this gingerbread house masterpiece. Note one legged gingerbread man falling out the window. They can't run run fast as you can with only one leg. Unfortunately you can see the house leaning badly and it didn't take long for it to collapse which made for one sad little girl.

Someone Needs A Bath

While Mom and Autumn baked, Cedar sampled the flour.

Thankfully it was a washable marker.

Proving Trail Adventures - It's Official

After years of dreaming, planning and finally putting it all together, Scott and I are very excited to announce the launch of Lace 'em Up, our first sheep hunting video. This 2-disk set is the first ever how-to DIY sheep hunting video. Videos are available for purchase at our website: www.provingtrailadventures.com. The site has lots of information including what Proving Trail Adventures is all about, the story of my 10-year quest to take a walk-in ram from every Alaska Mountain range,  the Proving Trail blog, gear lists and more.  We are celebrating the release and watching the premiere at our gala event on December 15th. See you there!

More Misc. Autumn and Cedar

"I ate it all up."

This was during the master bedroom remodel. We had to move the bed into the living room affording Autumn and Cedar some great jumping on the bed and jumping off chairs onto the bed opportunities.

More sink time fun

Cedar, like Autumn is getting to be quite the face maker as well.

 The little pumpkins made great props for pics, but trying to get Cedar to stand still enough for a good shot is challenging. This is the only good one I got. 

 Sent to "timeout", Cedar protests

The girls love books. But we just had to pare down. They got to choose 12 each. The rest go into storage and will be rotated in.

Figured the Grandmas & Grandpas were growing weary of dead deer pics and the lack of grand kid pics. So here's a few more random shots.

Busted. Part 2

And then there was the day mom caught her past her ankles in the sink.

Busted. Part 1

The sink fairy

Doh! Busted!

Cedar L.O.V.E.S. water. A favorite is to go into the bathroom, climb up on the toilet and play in the sink faucet stream. Depending on our mood we either allow her to do this or not (I know, so inconsistent). But she knows she needs our permission. Most days we keep the bathroom door shut, but sometimes we forget and she sneaks in.

More Halloween Fun

Autumn not interested in eating the candy but very intent on putting like with like. Cedar on the other hand...

What? Me? No, I don't have anything behind my back.

Autumn and Cedar getting the treats ready to pass out.

Our little organizer

Cedar was in bed by the time the trick or treaters starting making the rounds, but we let Autumn stay up and help pass out the candy. I would do a costume check through the window to make sure they weren't scary then let her open the door. She did a great job.
