My New Haircut

So, I got my hair cut today. Photography courtesy of Elena and Becca. I love it!

Well, see how long it takes for Jason to notice.

First Snow

The girls were so excited to wake up to snow on Saturday! They begged me to dig out their snow gear so they could go play. I told them to stay in the backyard, but here they are helping me by getting the snow off the van. Love these monkeys!

New Furnace

Last week we were able to get our furnace replaced. This is our old dinosaur of a furnace that was taken out. I forgot to get a picture of it still in for comparison sake:

The old furnace was installed in a do-it-yourself job by former owners of the house. They chose a furnace that was too big for the house, and, therefore, we were using a lot of extra energy that didn't necessarily heat the house better. Here is the new (prettier) furnace:

I don't know for sure what we'll do about the wall. It was built in around the old furnace so it was cut to get it out. We'll figure something out to make it look a little nicer.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. The girls wanted to dress up as soon as they woke up, so I let them. Jason was at a wrestling tournament for most the day so we went to Pocatello. We met up with Janelle, Ryan, and Olivia, and trick-or-treated Old Town. That was fun. Then we came home and went to our ward party. The girls got to trunk-or-treat there so they are set on candy. Here are my darlings all dressed up:

Mckenzie as the traditional baby cow. So cute!

Rebecca as a princess butterfly/fairy (she kept changing her mind). Needless to say, adorable!

And Elena as a bunny. I was surprised she didn't want to wear her princess dress but oh well. It's coming back for Christmas!

I dressed up for the ward party. My mom made me this dress for a Homecoming Dance in high school. My makeup was supposed to be spooky, but since I don't own any "dark" make-up, the effect wasn't quite the same.

For the record, Jason went as a wrestling coach.

All the girls together. Notice Mckenzie has a bottle now. Got milk?

Happy Halloween!
