I love Haircuts!

One of my favorite things to do is get my haircut! I love that someone else is doing my hair and I just get to sit there and enjoy. I think I got this from Grandma Larsen. She loved for us granddaughters to comb and do her hair. She would say how great it felt. I would have to agree 100%.

I have really thick hair and it grows super fast. I seem to get it cut shorter and shorter each time. My sisters think I am crazy. My hair never looks the same, one day it is curly the next day straight, one side curly the other straight. My curly hair makes for unpredictable hair days. I should be good for another 6-8 weeks!

First Graders present: Frog and Toad

Carly was in the play "Frog and Toad" last night. The first graders at her school did a fabulous job. She was a squirrel. The CUTEST squirrel I have ever seen (a little bias)! She sang her heart out.

Carly and me, one of her biggest fans!

Uncle Logan, Carly and Oma they are so good to support us!

Carly got to pick where we would go for dinner, she was happy with wherever (one of my best well rounded eaters). We ended up at Sombrero's Mexican Restaurant. Uncle Lance, Aunt Heather, Crew and Case met us there.

Stay tuned for Carly's first PHOTO shoot.

Case, he is such a happy little man. He was talking away and oh what a great eater he is!

Oma, happy and smilin' Case kept calling out her name.

Me, Carly's FAVORITE mom.

Larsen NOVEMBER birthdays

Our ThReE November birthdays, Heather (2), Jase (3), and Cole (8). We got together Sunday, November 9 to celebrate. We ate hamburgers/hotdogs, Oma's famous potato salad, and veggies. I have to say the kids favorite part was dessert. Yummy cupcakes, German chocolate cake and ice cream.

Cole liked blowing out his candle.

Jase loved the balloons.

Aunt Heather relaxing for a minute.

Cole's favorite part about the party, licking the frosting off as many cupcakes as we would allow.

What will we be...halloween?

Trick-or-treat!

Conner-football player

Carly-garden witch

Cole-"Cars" pitcrew man (suppose to be a dinosaur)

Lindsey-Verizon girl (several of her friends dressed up as the cell phone girls from the commercial on TV)

We went to our ward trunk or treat on Tuesday night. The kids loved it. Loaded up on candy.

Friday, Halloween we went with some friends and trick-or-treated through Orchard Ranch neighborhood. Some houses were giving giant candy bars, wow! The Hunts (our friends) had several families over they cooked hotdogs, chili, smore's, snack foods and hot chocolate. We sat in their drive way and had a great time! So sad Erik had to work!

Carly the prettiest Garden Witch around!

Perfect age appropriate costume for Lindsey. The girls had a great time being together! We are blessed Lindsey has wonderful friends.

Conner what a stud! We tried to find an ASU jersey, but I wouldn't spend $55 on one. Luckily he is an easy going kiddo who was happy with what we found.
