A new woman!

I really should be better about setting aside a little money every month so I can get my hair done more often... the last time I even had scissors or fake color touch my hair was May 9th! So today, I went from this.......


....to this!!

I'm loving it and feel like a new woman! Thanks to my mom and my hubs for letting me get my hair styled! Happy 35th birthday to me (a few days late!)

Hallquist Oktoberfest 2009

I can't believe it's the middle of our annual Hallquist Oktoberfest already! Where has this year gone? We've already celebrated Stone's 4th birthday (yikes) and Kevin's birthday and mine is just a few days away. We've had fun with my family visiting and K's parents and a few friends who were able to make it to Stone's birthday party. We look forward to cousin M and W coming in about a week and a half, if we all stay healthy! We've already visited one pumpkin patch and plan to visit at least one more, plus do a couple of hayrides, trunk-n-treating and who knows what all else! And inbetween all this we still have work, school and the every day business of life. Happy October!
