Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes



SO, I was just wondering if any of you can tell what my latest change is?


This is my friend Kjersten on the right (I'm on the left in case you didn't recognize me). She recently had hers done and it looked just like what I've been wanting to do, but have debating if it was right for me...

I finally got the guts to just do it and here is the finished product. SO, what do you think??? Is this the right color for me?

What? NO! Of course not! I just stuffed "them" with about 5 pairs of socks so our pictures wouldn't look so lopsided. All I did was color my hair--I can't believe you didn't even notice that!

Ha,Ha! So here's the story...
Kjersten really did JUST color her hair, but because of the angle that the picture was taken, it looked like she had done more than just her hair. On her blog, the comments left were not so much about her new hair color (she was blond), but about how much BIGGER she looked (BTW, I really do love your new hair color).

I just couldn't resist, I had to do it! You know I love ya KJ :)
So for real, here are a few before and after pics. Let me know what you think...

Halloween Spooktacular


So I was a bit nervous about trick-or-treating this year. Being in a new neighborhood, we weren't sure how much people around here get into it...uh, yeah--we officially live in Halloween CRAZY TOWN!!!
They spare no expense and go all out! From FULL sized candy bars (how can we compete with that?) to haunted houses (it was seriously SOO scary. From dead corpses to a man being electrocuted. Where do people come up with these things)!

There was even a guy that conjured up a fishing line thing-a-ma-jigger that had the candy bowl attached to it and a bat that flapped as he lifted it up and down from his balcony above.

And best of all...we didn't have to wear snow suits under our costumes! :)

The kids went to a few Halloween parties and a local pumpkin patch. Besides picking their own pumpkins, they also had a hay ride, corn maze, petting zoo and they even got to pick some veggies.



One of the funnest things was going to Disneyland for Mickey's trick-or-treat.
This was great! I think Dwight and I were the only ones not dressed up! EVERYONE there had on a costume and there was fun Halloween music and dancing everywhere. The kids rode some rides, but we spent most of our time gathering more candy than we will EVER be able to eat at all the "treat stations".
We seriously came home and filled TWO big popcorn bowls full of candy. I shouldn't admit this, but we actually used it as the candy that we handed out at the door on Halloween. It was really good stuff, though not full sized candy bars--wah,wah,wah,wahhh. Still, we didn't even get rid of HALF the candy and now we're stuck with 3 HUGE, UNTOUCHED candy bags from Costco and now 4 bowls of candy!

I've been working with a personal trainer here and I think all the progress I've been making (he KICKS my butt) is going down the drain --I've got to get rid of all this candy! ANY SUGGESTIONS???
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
