Hair anyone?

Three years ago Zoe donated her hair. After her hair was all cut she asked me if I would donate with her the next time. I agreed so we have been growing our hair out since then. Monday December 14th we decided the time had come.

This was our before shot...

We were both kind of nervous but I had to keep a brave face so Zoe wouldn't freak out.

Her stylist was great. He was very careful to give her exactly what she asked for but first...

Look at how thick that ponytale is! We both gave 10 inches.

Just a little teary...

Very brave!

Since I couldn't really take pictures of myself I took a picture of the pile of hair that wasn't donated after the 10 inches was already off. My stylist couldnt get it to sweep down the shoot.

Here is the end result! Zoe loves hers and while I like mine I am still getting used to it. It was worth it to have this experience with Zoe.

Bellevue Botanical Gardens

We took a trip up to Bellevue to see the lights at the Botanical Gardens.

Zoe really loved the peacock there in the background.

What a qiet bird on her shoulder. It didn't even bite.

Tate finally grew into the winter coat we bought him 2 years ago!

Happy Birthday to Ben!!!

Happy Birthday to the best husband and dad family could ask for...
Look at that sweet face!

He always makes us feel better when we are sad...

And he knows how to have a good time!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Grey update

Well our little Grey is no longer little. He is nearly 3 months old and weighs 15 lbs. He is 27 inches long. He is already wearing 6 month clothes! In short he is a big bundle of fun.

I tried to get him to smile for this picture but apparently he doesn't smile on command.

Well his sad face is nearly as cute as his smile.

Look at that chubby arm and cheek!

Tate loves his brother and can't wait for him to move into his room which is slated to happen over Thanksgiving weekend.

Happy Halloween

We did our annual trip to the pumpkin patch with the Sampson's a few weeks ago. Zoe got car sick and threw up on the trail so we did not do the corn maze this year but we still managed to have a good time.

Pumpkin carving is always an adventure. Tate got totally into to goo this year.

Zoe carved her pumpkin all by herself! I can't believe how big she is.

Ben's pumpkin is a monster from Where the Wild Things Are Zoe's is a puffle from Club Penguin.

Mine is self explanatory, Tate's is a ghost and Grey's is a spooky face. They look even spookier with all the mold growing inside.

We went with an "undead" theme this year. Tate and Grey were skeletons Zoe was a ghost.

Vampire and Zombie
My teeth were a little too real looking.

We had a great time partying at the Sampson's and then went Trick or Treating.

Now we have to figure out what to do with all the candy!
