The Biker Dude and The Catapiller

As most of you know, Hannah would have nothing to do with her Halloween costume. So, I figured we would not be able to go trick or treating this year. :( Well, I finally decided I was going to torture my daughter for 10 minutes to get a picture at least. After a head but to my jaw, a pinch and bite later, Hannah was in her costume. She wasn't happy about it at all...until she found out that she was going to get candy! Then it was on. Every house on the street with a light on was in trouble. She and DJ had a blast going around. Hannah loved the attention and candy. DJ had dressed up for a work contest as a biker man. He won. Can you picture him with full leather and a due rag with a braided ponytail? Well, here is a picture if you imagination comes up short!

The Zoo

Here lately Hannah has been naming animals and their sounds. So we decided it was time for a zoo trip. Hannah had a lot of fun. We started out with the gorillas. Hannah called them "unkey". We got to see the baby gorilla. That was neat. Almost all the big animals were out for us to see and the weather was great. We will have to go back soon.

The Doodlebops Concert

Hannah LOVES watching the Doodlebops on Disney in the mornings. So, I bought tickets to take her to see them live. We wont mention how much the tickets (for 3) cost. But it was worth every penny spent! At first, Hannah wasn't sure what to think. She looked confused for about 5 minutes. DJ held her at first, then we put her down in front of her seat and she went crazy. She started moving and dancing in every direction her little body would allow. I have never seen her this excited about something. Now let me set an image in your mind. Hannah will start dancing to any music she hears. Even if it is just a commercial that come on TV. So I figured she would dance at the concert like she does when she watches them on TV. I never thought she would turn into a crazy dancing toddler. It was so funny to watch. Needless to say, she had a blast. DJ and I didn't mind it too much either, since we knew she was enjoying herself.

My Little Secretary

Hannah, showing mommy her teeth!

Hannah loves to sit in my lap when I am on the computer! Most of all she wants to play with the mouse. It drives me crazy sometimes. I will be reading something good and then all of a sudden the page just starts to move in uncontrollable motions. And it doesn't take me long to realize that Hannah has the mouse in her hands! You think you can use the computer with the baby in your lap and everything will work out fine. Nope, not with Hannah! So I decided to let her play on the computer for once...without sitting in my lap. I showed her if she touched the keyboard that it makes thing appear on the screen. She loved that! She spent about 5 minutes playing with the keyboard and then got bored with it. That was all she wanted to do!

Walgreen's Bowling Party

DJ invited his co-workers to go bowling. He wanted to get to know them better without the stress of a work environment. We had a great turn out and lots of kids. Some of us were great bowlers and some of us not so. I did decent and DJ did great as usual. Hannah bowled a 75 on her second game! (Better than my first game!) But she had some help from Daddy and the metal frame. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed the Hogs game in the background. Unfortunately the Hogs didn't win, but we had a good time regardless.

Hannah's First Haircut

Hannah has always had a lot of hair. She has the cutest little curls that sometimes are there and sometimes are not. (every girls dream) Here lately I have been talking about getting her hair cut, but didn't really want to do it since I didn't want her to have bangs or to lose the curls. Through much debate I finally decided to go a head and have it cut. DJ has been using the same stylist, Susie, since he was 14. I have used her a couple of times too. Naturally we decided to take Hannah to her for her First Haircut. Hannah didn't like it too much when we sat her down in the big chair by herself. So I sat down with her and proceeded to have her hair cut. It was all I could do to not cry! It was much harder than I thought. DJ recorded the whole event. It went well!! Hannah let Susie cut her hair without much of a problem. Of course her distraction helped. Susie has this dancing frog that sings songs. Hannah loved it and held it the whole time, repressing the button after every song. And now that she finally has her hair cut, you can't even tell a difference! On the other hand, I decided to cut my hair too. It is short! I am not used to having short hair since DJ likes it long (and so do I). But I was ready for a change. I decided to just let Susie do what she wanted (with a few restrictions). And it turned out cute. I really like it. I don't have a very good picture of it yet, so you will just have to wait till you see me or until I get a photo. But I have one of Hannah!

Football and Friends

Saturday we had some friends over to watch the Razorback game with us. It was a lot of fun. We ended up having 5 couples over with their children and then the three of us too. I cant think of a better way to watch a Southern tradition. We had friends, pizza and desserts, Razorback Football and the big screen. What more do you need? The kids all enjoyed playing together. All the guys talk sports stuff and all the ladies talked girl and mommy stuff. Even though most of the kids bed times were before half time, they all made it through most of the game. When they started getting sleepy, they just hung out with their parents. Other than the game, a big hit for the night was just being able to visit with other couples. I know most of them were at the fellowship on Friday, but we were all split up and all busy trying to get the points for the hunt. I was able to just visit yesterday without trying to race around town. That is what I enjoyed the most. I watched just a little of the game, until the end. And we wont go there!!! :(
