February 2-15, 2018 – 3 years 7 months – Fun in the SNOW!

We're back!  Lots of snow and Kadin jumps right in and wants to help clear the car off.  



Yay! Snow!  Let's throw it up in the air!  And have it fall on our head… Yay!  



Snow angel.


The snow was so powdery and soft we could run and jump and land it it and then just lay there like we were in a cozy bed. The warm sunshine was nice too.


Mostly, Kadito doesn't walk too far in the vast snowy world, but sometimes he runs off, turns around, and looks at me… You coming, Mama?

January 16 - 31, 2017 - 2 years 6 months


Going car shopping.
(If you look closely, his shopping cart is full of cars!)
Aw… Sally loves sleeping with her new buddy.

I have no idea where he got the idea, but suddenly one evening, Kadin started kissing my feet!

Having fun at lunch in Wasilla… this is Kadin's "smile for the camera" smile.

We probably spent an hour at the pet store looking at all the critters. 

Sally came with us sledding one day and loved frolicking and rolling in the snow.

This is Kadin's face after Sally flew by him, charging through the snow like the sled dog that she is.  (Obviously, she's even way too fast for the camera!)

January 1 - 15, 2017 - 2 years 6 months

I finally broke down and trimmed Kadin's bangs since they were hanging in his face.  He actually was really good for it!

What a cutie!

Kadin wanted to pull me in the sled!

Kadin missed a day or two of daycare due to a possible pink-eye or some other eye allergy or irritant.  He could barely see when he'd woken up this morning.

Ahhhh, nothing like a relaxing warm bubble bath!

Kadin was wiped out by another kid sledding down the hill as he was hiking uphill (she lost control and veered to the side where everyone was going up).  He got a nice bloody nose from the impact but after about a half hour of crying and cleaning him up, he said he wanted to go sledding some more instead of going home!  

Here we are, heading back down the hill.  Weeee!
After the collision, Kadin was obsessed about the safety of others below him and would not go down the hill if someone else was walking up!  
Daycare dress up and here's my little bumblebee!

Kadin still loves eating snow.
Afternoon walk with little Miss Annie.
Ended the day with Bucky entertaining Kadin with his amazing snowball catching abilities!
He's so good at it, the snowball was headed right at right at Kadin and… whoosh… in comes Buck to save the day!
Here comes another one….
Ooops.  Bucky is still trying to figure out what happened to the snowball.  Kadin could have told him if his mouth wasn't so filled up with snow!!

At the end of a day of sledding, Kadin heading up to the cabin.  I bet he (and Bucky) are thinking, "Ok, that was fun, but now it's… DINNNER TIME!"


A few days later, Kadin and I went to play down by the pond at my house.  He's having fun riding the melted down remains of our snow horse from last week.  


And then we were heading back up to the house, when Kadin had to stop to pick a few frozen high bush cranberries, and as soon as the sled stopped, Birch jumped in to get some lovin' from his favorite little human.  



Purrrrrrr!

Kadin's friend Farah had her 1st birthday party at the Grove.  You think Kadin was having fun?!  Pillows!



 Look Mom, a lion… Can you roar like one again?  Again?  Again please?
(he's actually thinking, "Mira Mamá, un león… Puedes rugir como el león otra vez?  Otra vez? Y otra vez, por favor?" but I translated it for you all.)

And more sledding fun!

Kadin and I went outside to admire the Northern Lights.  The white vapor is my breath in the cold air.

More Northern Lights, aka Aurora Borealis.
For the first time, it seemed as if Kadin could see the distant lights dancing in the sky and he pointed up at them and said his universal word for "what's that?" which is "Dah!"

December 9 - December 15, 2015 - 17 months

We went up to Cantwell for a couple of days, hiking and sledding in the open country.  Kadin had a wonderful time and barely seemed to mind the -10ºF weather.  Although he didn't try to pull his mittens or hat off either...






Fun photo editing to enhance the classic beauty of our hand-me-down wooden sled.

November 18 - November 24, 2015 - 16 months and 1 week

It's all about playing in the snow these days  
Already got 2-3 feet of snow on the ground – woo hoo!





A musher with a small dog team passed us… Kadin was fascinated!! 
Dreaming of being out in the snow with his own dog team...
