Fall City Farms - Pumpkin Time!

Yesterday was one of the BEST days ever! Luke and I took the girls to Fall City Farms and had a superb time. They have hay rides, hay mazes, farm animals, fresh pressed apple juice, fresh made donuts, and of course, a pumpkin patch. It was the first time we took the girls to do something like this and they absolutely loved it. Lily use to be afraid of animals a year ago but this year she was in heaven. She wanted to pet everything! Arya, our fearless baby, had no problems either and also wanted to pet everything.

Luke and I both grabbed pretty big pumpkins and we have pretty big plans for them. Hopefully it'll pan out. We'll just have to see in a couple of weeks. I LOVE FALL! It's so beautiful and cozy. And now, it will forever be the time that we bought our FIRST HOUSE! More of that to come... :o).

Locks of Love

As some of you know, my hair grows like weeds. I have estimated that it grows approximately 8-10 inches a year. This makes it financially difficult to keep cute short hairstyles. A couple years ago I decided that I'll just grow my hair out and donate it to a company called "Locks of Love" that makes wigs for children who have lost all of their hair due to health reasons. This is the second time that I have done this over the last 3 years and it feels great! It also helps that a really fancy schmancy salon in downtown Bellevue called "7 Salon" cuts your hair for free when you donate to "Locks of Love."

Now, I have liked all the short hair cuts that I have ever gotten thus far (with the exception of when I was 3-4 and got a boy cut). It's always a shock and for some odd reason all the stylists I have ever had except for one have insisted on fluffing my hair up as much as possible and then have the hair curl under so that I look like a freakin' mushroom. Last night was no exception and all I could think of was, "wow, I look like the mushroom monster on Mario Brothers." This syndrome will pass as soon as I wash my hair and style it myself. But, I couldn't resist snapping a picture of it last night.

I Am a Child of God

Lily is really good at singing... at least we think so. :) She has been singing "I am a Child of God" from start to finish for a couple months now. Sometimes she sings it while she's playing with the piano and other times she likes to put on a performance. Arya pretty much enjoys doing whatever Lily is doing and has also picked up on a few songs from nursery and can follow along here and there. Today they put on a performance for Luke and I. It was so cute that we had to get a video of it!
