Claire's First Haircut

Saturday was family haircut day. This was Claire's first haircut. We decided that we were going to give Claire a little bob haircut since she is horrible about keeping anything in her hair and I am sick of fighting with her and her hair. :)

We have been having camera 'issues' the last couple of weeks and of course we forgot to bring it to the appointment, so we made an emergency trip to Walmart to get a disposable camera... thus the HORRIBLE quality of the pictures below.

Claire did pretty well during the actual haircut.. but her first lollipop doesn't hurt to calm a squirmy toddler. Regen, Colin and I also got our haircut, but I will spare you those pictures.


Mmmm.. Lollipops




She was a sticky green mess, but sitting still as she finished up


All done... and she DID not want her picture taken (Claire, that is)


Better pictures after we got home

Trick-or-Treat

What a week! It has been non-stop Halloween fun. Regen and Claire both had parties at school and we had a fun carving night at Regen's preschool. Last night we headed out to Redmond Town Center to do a little trick-or-treating at the mall. We met up with cousin Trent and our friends the Doehne's. Fun and candy was had by all. Here are pictures of our busy week.


Colin out-did himself again this year with a pretty amazing carving of Ariel. The years to come should be interesting to see if he can keep up with the carvings.

Regen was brave this year and actually stuck her hand into the pumpkin (although she complained the whole time about how stinky it was)

Regen's preschool does a family pumpkin carving night. We took the kids to Ruby's and then headed to the event.

How fast can he carve?


This is the face that Regen wanted Colin to carve - how did he do?

Welcome Fall!

We had a pretty amazing start to fall. As I write this post, it is currently pouring outside. I am pretty sure our nice fall days are pretty much over. It was great while it lasted though.

Regen and Colin had an end of Summer camp-out in the back yard. Regen thought it was great sleeping in the tent with Daddy. I am sure glad she likes to do it. :)

We thought this was going to be our last nice day of the season, so we had a picnic in the backyard


Playing and having lunch with our little friend Abi

and playing the Keyboard


One week ago from today it was 84 degrees out. Hard to believe!! We decided to get out and go to the beach. We headed to Idylwood beach which I haven't been to in a LONG time. It was great and all the other kids were already back in school so we had a lot of room to play!

Playing in the sand


Trying to make a sandcastle.. the sand is a little different than the sand at the beach house!


Eating lunch and getting ready to take a dip

Mama forgot Claires swimsuit, so she had to 'swim' in her very droopy diaper!
