Come see the view!

We went up to a place called flat top that is known for great hiking trails and a beautiful view. A lot of tourists come and go up there.... well Cole was hilarious. Every person that came by he would grab their hand and say... "Come see the view!!!" Then he would take off running and the people would be laughing and following him. Then he would show them the viewing spot, followed by a wave saying "Bye, have a good trip!" Maybe someday he will be a tour guide or something... no stranger anxiety can be a good thing as long as I am right by him. Im sure he brightened some people's day with his cute little personality.

Miss America

I had a murder mystery dinner at my house. It was a Miss America theme. So basically all my friends and I dressed up, goofed around and got some good food in the process. It turned out to be so much fun and it was great to have a party at my house and actually be able to fit people comfortably. In Philly we always tried to cram everyone in our tiny apartment and it was still fun back then, but a little easier now! I really enjoy all the girls I have met here so far. They are an awesome group of friends who have really made me feel a part of things.

My Date

Cole was a little bit grumpy today.... so during his nap I was trying to think of a way to cheer him up. Then I remembered something my dad did when I was little. He used to take me on a "date" with just me and him. I always cherished those times. So I decided to take Cole on a date. We went out to a movie and it was his first time in the theater. We picked out some treats and watched Kung Fu Panda. He actually watched the entire movie. He was in such a happy mood afterwards. I think he just needed to get out and do something special and fun. So it was a success!

State Fair

We went to the State Fair and Cole had a BLAST seeing all the animals.

Check out Aliyah's cheesy grin

Yes we even met a celebrity.... the real Target dog was there! Apparently he has his own makeup artist and flys first class. ha ha. Anchorage gets a Target in October so everyone here is counting down!

And then it rained on us so we had to head home early.... but Cole thought it was pretty cool to hold the umbrella by himself. Everything nowdays from Cole is "I want to do it by myself."

Say cheese!

As soon as I pull out the camera Aliyah begins posing and smiling.


Cole on the other hand said..
"Mommy dont take a picture of me."

Ready for a big bike?

Ali and Cole were playing contently... Ali loves pushing her walker around and Cole loves riding his bike






Then Ali decided to move on to bigger and better things....
