Finally, finally, finallllyyyyyy

Well, it is about time. I knew it all along, it is just hard to get too many people to agree (vocally in public that is). The McDonald's breakfast sandwich has something about it, if I could spell Jensi say quay I would use it to describe the treat. , You know, a flavor that makes you wonder why you love it so. It captured me in the airports after a flight from Anchorage to somewhere which was already a good thing than to throw in the soft biscuit, salty questionable meet and maybe a slice of processed cheese like goo and you have heaven. Mom didn't swing through Mc Donald's much when we were little but let me tell you, that is a woman who knows taste and she will cut loose in an early morning situation. Two years ago when driving from Idaho to Montana we got on a serious Iced Coffee kick that I don't even want to go into but we didn't shy from the paper wrapped breakfast sammies thats for sure, girl don't mess with her breakfast biscuit.

Well now vindication is mine, a very cool, very serious, very fancy pantsy cooking magazine, Savior has written a whole story on the early morning love obsession. I will leave it at this: If we are ever in an airport together and the Burger King (sub par) or Mc Donald's is closed for renovation be afraid!!!!!! Aunt Bonnie, Mom and probably parts of the Malecha family will back me up on this one.

Birds

Say goodbye to Lady Rhonda, she will be missed and not soon forgotten.

Seth went to Grandma's house on Monday and came home with four beautiful finches. Two full grown Shevtails and two Green Singers. The Green Singers are basically toddlers, their Mom was barely finished mouth feeding them but she was laying eggs as well so Kernel Green and Lady Rhonda had to make the step to adulthood. The four lived in a small cage while I sanded and painted their new aviary and Seth formed the wire. In the interim Lady Rhonda passed away. Now Kernel has no one to sing to but he lives on, proving to be very agile, eating while hanging upside down and snuggling with Tui and Dolly at night. If we play a Green Singer on UTube Kernel will sing back, Seth sweet talks to them all and Spycat is sprayed with water if she comes near.......

Ash fall in Anchorage

Well, today after a productive day of shower tiling and painting we were getting ready to head to a movie and dinner, than a strange cloud engulfed the sky. Seth was actually running to the gym where I was going to meet him, he came home, the gym was closing up, as was everything in Anchorage apparently, this is what the gym lady said anyhow. So now we start a fire, turn off the hvac system and enjoy quiet night at home I spose?

It has been a nice week, it was until Thursday when I came home and after two hours of goofing off I noticed things missing, turns out we were robbed, so much for Bonnie being a detective in her next life. As far as someone walking into your house and taking things we were lucky (n the door wasn't locked), they took the new computer (really Aunt Bonnie's on lone) and both IPOD's. So now between the house and the eruption I (Bonnie) am felt feeling a bit violated and tired of Anchorage's shenanigans. Well, better buck up because there is no flying out of here anytime soon, now maybe we can find a maverick delivery service to bring some dinner!!

You'd think an explosion would be a little more dramatic

Here is the volcano before it blew and above is while it was erupting yesterday, huh, would've expected lava, people running, not Alaska, we are just a little more boring than Hawaii I spose. In the meantime we will keep turing into the radio to see if the winds change and than put panty hose over the cars intake valves, find the masks and continue life as before.

Slow & snowy weekend

It seemed as if Anchorage really was going to redeem itself, it was going to be a real spring with grass and pussy willows galore. Than it snowed 4 inches and I was shin kicked back into reality, we live in the Upper One, spring does not happen until the beginning of May.

Before the big snow yesterday we headed to Grandma and Grumps house to visit and see our cow, April. A new calf was born, cute little thing that is very friendly, two days old, they are thinking of naming it Leaper. Our cow April is lovely as ever, she isn't much for petting or hugs, that's really probably better anyhow. While we were up there Seth and I found a really beautiful aviary and will fix it up. Grandma had lots of luck with her finches this year and three Green Singers hatched, she will give us a pair in three weeks if we are set-up by than. They have a beautiful song so we had best get the cage in order. I don't think the cat will give us any problems, the cage is about 5 feet tall and we'll put the door up high. Also discussed was the summer visit of two ducks to mow our lawn and eat all our slugs in a custom made duck tractor.

Lots of animals to come to the Deandersen compound soon. Now if Seth would feel a little better we would be ready everything life can through at either of us.

Spring Break

Well we hit the road to Girdwood for skiing with friends this week. Stayed at an amazing house built by a friend and really lived in the lap of luxury. The weather was beautiful and besides not much new snow things were great. Seth got in some ice climbing and is backcountry skiing as I write. Anchorage seems to think it is Spring and the pussy willows are out.

We have our man

The DeAndersen house is at least agreeing on one point right now, Sebastain Schnulle is our man for winning the Iditarod. Really like him and his giant clumps of hair, may not be 100% agreed on our Mayoral selections but this we can both cheer for.

oh la la

Today Meghan and I worked on "The wedding quilt." We picked out backing and than sewed it up real perty like. It still needs to be tied but that seems like something fun to do later with some friends over wine and dinner. Katey and Meghan made the top before our wedding and doesn't it look beautiful on our bed? Lucky Seth and Bonnie to have such thoughtful friends to keep up warm.

Three Things:

1.) Yes, that is fake neck hair, and I actually said these words, "Can I take a picture of your neck hair?"
2.) Yes, that is my family, a crazy bunch yes.
3.) Unfortuantly yes, I do look like when I dance, time to fess up.
4.) One more thing, yes, that is Sara P. and Miss Wassilla

Quite a Night

Well, we had planned an Arctic to Indian trip, bought the food, even went so far as to check with others about trail conditions. Than with best intentions the family went to The Miner's and Trapper's Ball and BLAM, no more Arctic to Indian. With daylight savings we were home at 2 am and in bed by 3, way too late for a long day of skiing for the Bonster. So a little hillside ski and a nap has made for a really great Sunday. A few pictures of last night are following this, but in the interest of staying friends and close to family not all pictures made it on. Although I as going to leave out the one of you and Fat Bastard friend H, I just couldn't. The blog fans are dying to see a 300 pound man harrassing you.

Snow Sculptures

Well, after breakfast with the fam at Gwennie's I was just a little too late to see the start of Iditarod but did manage to see the snow sculptures. I have to say they were better than last year but still not as good as when we were little. Tonight though we are attending the Miner's and Trapper's ball and so I will post pictures than. The fam and coming over to create some costumes and have a little snack than off.

Fur Rondy Fur Fireworks & Border Cross

Below the house this last weekend the fireworks and the border cross happened, it was a good time.

Frostbite foot race

The race this morning was really great conditions, big soft flakes of snow, lots of people in funny costumes and Seth, Gail and I in the heart of it having a lovely morning. The 2nd best part was running to the gym where we enjoyed a sauna!

The best weekend a kid could ask for

Well, Iditarod has started and things are really busy and great in Anchorage, which seems big because I don't generally dote on the city. Gail has been in town so we are showing her the sites. Last night the fam and friends came over for drinks and a little of Chef Seth's ceviche, makes living up here good to have the fam nearby. This morning it was the Frostbite Foot-race, sauna and showers at the gym, new Sagaya's for breakfast supplies. We walked from the house to dog races and saw some fast dogs! The sprint races are really great and smaller crowd too, now we eat giant late breakfast, lay near the fire and watch the fat snowflakes fall.

Tah dah

Is now this



This

Some house pictures to keep you updated

Well, we are in the house and things are going well! The little things are piling up to finish but it is a nice new house!! The UPS truck just pulled up! Pot rack here we come!
Nope, it was the Flor carpet samples. Bummer.

Gail comes on Friday and than a quick week to Fur Rondy. Fireworks, outhouse races, running races, ice sculptures, the Running of the Reindeer and the carnival! Ever heard of a carnival in Feb? It all happens across the bridge from our house and than they cover the roads with snow for the sprint dog races, skijorring and than Iditarod! Big times, big times.

No volcanic explosion yet, cross your fingers it doesn't happen, we've already had three snow days, anymore missing school and we have to make it up in May!!


The pictures I have put up imcompase a lot of time; choosing a cow to buy at Grandparent's, foaming the house and than the final move in. The little bull is named Puck, really nice little pet like thing that we couldn't buy because number 1 I couldn't eat him and number 2 he is a darwf and won't get any bigger. Grandpa keeps him in a little pen and brushed him and feeds him kelp and fish oil, number 3 I couldn't afford to keep Puck in the life he is accustomed to.

The picture of me is my Sarah Idiot Palin impression.

Beware, times are changing.

That right, shipped taken over, mutiny. It would be a true mutiny if the other side knew what happened, I took them by storm. This blog is mine, Seth's regime was toppled. The people spoke and now they have a new leader, me!!

The new leader is qualified like one should be, owner of a late model four door sedan, loves long underwear and has the spelling ability of a dyslexic 6th grader. That's right, watch out, she rules with an iron fist and sweaty feet.

What might we expect with the new facist regime? Well let's clear one thing up, no spell check, maybe more pink and more talk of carmello chocolate bars and odor eaters foot products. Sounds like your idea of a good time? you have found the right place, check this site twice weekly, updates are made during work hours and long lunches. Expect adventures, offensive grammar and pictures of a house that may never be finished in a very cold, dark land. Oh, and more cat pictures, who are we kidding? Everyone loves cats, espcially dressed in human clothes, that and monkeys, give the people what they demand!
Now post must end due to pressures to look busy at work.
