Halloween

Here are the pics from Halloween - Chloe fell asleep so we didn't get to do any trick or treating.

This is from the trick-or-treat at my office from Friday.

Ok - so I was just bored this evening and went in to Sally Beauty Supply. HOLY COW.... That place is awesome. I have only ever really been in to like the shampoo stores in the mall - you know, where the prices are outrageous? Well Sally is so awesome. I cannot wait until I am out of shampoo so I can go there and buy a Biolage comparable for $6!!!!

In other news... my little Chloe (have to specify which one there ;) ) has started saying "Love you". It's so cute. She is talking SO much. I mean, like a lot. She is constantly making noise - she talks herself to sleep and then starts talking the minute she wakes up. I promise you, I am not exaggerating. She will repeat almost any word you say so Shane and I (more Shane than me....) have to be very careful about what we say in front of her. We can have actual conversations with her now and it is clear that she knows exactly what we're talking about. I just love bragging about her. Even though I have 30+ nieces and nephews, I don't spend that much time with kids so I don't ever really know where she is - developmentally. But everyone who we come in contact with just says how advanced she seems. I just think of her as my little "Fat Princess"- my smart fat princess!

Too Bad....

So I have heard of a number of people who just love this restaurant... Too bad.... Joe's Cafe in Orem - Never got a chance to eat there!

SNUGGIE!!

This is awesome. Shane recently bought me a Snuggie :)
Well... I think maybe he got him for himself!

St GeOrGe!!

We took an impromptu trip to St George this weekend. Here are just some fun pics I took...

Chloe and Dad at the awesome Chinese restaurant we found in Beaver. Yummy...


OK - we got in the pool and Chloe was just having a fun time kicking her feet. Then I turned my head.....
It really looks like I'm pushing her in the water here!!



Feeding the elk in Zions - she loved that!!

We went to Grafton - a "ghost town" near Zions. It was pretty cool...

Photography...

So we went to St George this weekend and went also to Springdale - that's the town just before Zion's National Park. The last time we were there, we wandered into this photo gallery that I just could never forget. I tried finding it online, but for some reason couldn't. Well, I made sure we went in again this time. I tell you what - you want to talk about talent?!?! This guy - Michael Fatali - is AMAZING! He uses an old old camera - the kind that's always up on the tripod and just uses that plate for exposures --- a "large plate camera" is what it's called I guess. (OBVIOUSLY I know nothing about cameras). Anyway, he uses no filters, and NO computers - not a bit of touch-up work is done to his photos. They are, without a doubt, THE most amazing photos I have ever seen. I am getting Shane one of the prints for Christmas.... Maybe before... ;) shhh --- don't tell!

Hello BRUNETTE!!

CRITICAL....

oK - So I am getting my hair done tomorrow. I am torn.... The two "options" below are very similar, but what do you think? I am TERRIFIED to go darker, but Shane wants me to. My natural color is closer to the bottom picture - anyway, I need opinions NOW so I can start getting used to the idea of being a possible brunette or whatever. This is very serious, folks. I have been blond my entire life.

Rather than spending 20 minutes trying to upload a bunch of pictures, I decided to just create a collage :) Here are a few of the many faces of Chloe lately! (PS - who does she look like....?)
