Fall Fun

We went to the pumpkin patch with Stillman and Michelle's family. We had lots of fun. We went on hay rides, picked out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, walked the corn maze, and the kids got to go on some rides and go into the petting zoo. We also had some delicious concession food. If you ever go you have to try the homemade donut holes. MMMM! We carved our pumpkin at Stillman and Michelle's house. Katie helped draw the face on to carve. Notice how one eye is bigger than the other? Cute huh. We dressed up for our church Halloween party. Can you guess who we are? Chris is Obiwan Kenobi, Tamara is Queen Amidala (AKA a Geisha - nobody knew who I was - either works), and Katie is a carebear. Katie and Alex had fun trick or treating in the church. And last Saturday Daddy and Katie had some fun raking leaves in the yard.

Hair Makeover (for Mommy this time)

My stylist had a party at her salon and I entered in a drawing and won the grand prize: a free hair makeover! I got a haircut, color and eyebrow wax. Here are my before and after pictures. Sorry the before pic is a little blurry.

After:

I love it!

I've never had highlights or an eyebrow wax done before.

Here are Katie and I both with our new do's just in time for family pics next week.

"I Want My Mullet Back"

Well…. not really. Remember last March when Katie cut her own hair? Well she has had a mullet ever since. I am excited to say that the sides have finally grown long enough so we could have her hair cut short. Here are her before and after pictures.

Surprise!

Last test passed!

Chris passed his last CPA Exam! Now he just has to take an ethics test and apply for a license. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cabin fun

We had lots of fun at the cabin Labor Day weekend. It's always fun to take some R&R time and get away for a bit.

See post below too.

Ready to go!

This is where I found Katie at approximately 1 pm on Friday Sept 4th. She had her suitcase by her side and was all buckled into her carseat and ready to go to the cabin. I informed her that we wouldn't be ready to leave for another 5 or 6 hours. She cried when I made her come back in the house. She couldn't wait to go to the cabin and see her cousins Livvie, Ellie and Blake and all the rest of the family that were going up.
