Monster's vs. Aliens!

We had a date night last night and went to the movies! Most of you know we are not big movie goers but we had a lot if fun! We went to see Monster's versus Aliens in 3D! It was really good! They can do amazing things with 3D! Anyway, Jason and I couldn't get over how adorable we looked in our 3D glasses! Here's a few pictures, don't you think we are stylin?!


Needless to say, we had a great time! Go see that movie!
It was great for us and it's great for the kids!

Break Up is Finally Here!!!

So for all of you that don't know what I am talking about here is the Alaska definition: SUMMER!

Break up happens in a place that gets tons of ice and snow. Basically it is when the temperature sky rockets above zero, winter is over, and everything starts melting and breaking up. Ice comes off the roads in huge chucks, water starts flowing everywhere, everything is dirty and slushy, and it is finally above zero! You basically break up the ice to get it rid of it. In Alaska Break up means summer! Everyone goes crazy at Break up! People are wearing shorts and short sleeves, and coats are a thing of the past! We only have spring for a few weeks. So we are ecstatic when break up happens! Everything melts!

2 weeks ago it was -20 below and this week it is 40 above! All the snow is melting, and there is slush everywhere! That means it is time for PUDDLE BOOTS!!!
Puddle boots are the best thing ever in Alaska! They are the closest thing I have to fashion and they are my favorite part of my wardrobe come spring! It's the only thing I can really get away with up here! Puddle boots are cute rain boots and perfect for break up in Alaska. With all of snow trying to melt, and mud everywhere, it is the way to go outside, but be fashionable at the same time. You can't really wear heals, or sandals at break up, you would just end up digging holes in the ice, or getting slush in between your toes. It's the only fashion trend we can have up here! (Those of you up here know what I am talking about!) Puddle boots are the coolest!
These are my latest pairs! Frogs, Fishies, and Flamingo's!



Anyway, hope you're enjoying the spring time season! I am looking forward to the 24 hours of sunlight in just a few more weeks! Yippee for Spring!
