Harvest Time

I love this time of year with the changing colors of the leaves and grapevines. Of course it wouldn't be complete without the visit to the pumpkin patch. This is Rachels first trip and she seemed to enjoy herself.

Sleep Habits

All I can say is that this is a common occurence in our house. We often go to check on the girls before we go to bed and find things either in Hannah's hands, arms, or mouth. That is a bracelet hanging from her lip......That's our girl.

It Only Took Me 10 Years...

I finally did it. I cut almost 5 inches off my hair. I have been wanting to cut my hair for awhile but I always chicken out while sitting in the seat. I had all the blonde highlights taken out and am back to being fully auburn. Whatcha think? By the way, see my necklace? I made it tonight at a jewelry making party. I even have earrings to match. It was so fun. We got to pray before we made any pieces and ask God to give us creativity (sounds reasonable since He is the ultimate creator and we are made in His image). It was totally fun and relaxing and all the ladies had so much fun! I think I see a new hobby in my future.....

SEVEN

We took the whole family out to dinner at Hikuni Restaurant, a Hibachi style place where they cook the food in front of you and entertain you while they do it. The girls favorite part? The burning volcano onion and the little boy fireman who "pees" on the fire. But before we went to dinner we had to make a pit stop at the mall.

Hard to believe my "baby" is 7 years old. She has been waiting for this day since this is the day Daddy told her it was OK with him if she wanted to get her ears pierced. So what did she ask for when she woke up that morning? Holes in her ears!

Here she is before the needle gun...Our girls wear a birthday tiara all day on their birthday since its a special day.

a little more nervous when she saw the needle gun
after the first piercing, still smiling but fighting back tears
Beautiful princess, she smiled like this all the way out of the mall to the car
