Our weekend was pretty low key, especially with Kevin at work, but we always manage to have a little excitement with Lily and Derek around :).  We had Stake Conference, which is always an adventure with young children.  I learned early on, just to camp out in the Relief  Society room for the two hours.  I can listen, and sometimes when they have it hooked up to a TV, even watch. 

Kevin did shave his head as soon as we finished our pictures last week, and although I prefer hair, he loves to change it up every once in a while, so it's fine with me. 

Derek continues to injure himself as he is attempting the whole standing/walking thing.  (I just don't remember Lily getting hurt as much, but as my mom reminded me – Derek is a boy!  It really does make a difference.)Img_19741

I have been busy with Primary stuff, but it has been so much nicer since the program.  I still have tons to do, but the next major thing is the Trunk-or-treat, which should be simple enough.  My fun adventure for the weekend was starting to teach my friend Cindy to quilt.  (I know only the very basic stuff, but I had an AMAZING teacher, my mother-in-law, and so I feel pretty good about passing along what I know.)  Her husband is gone out on field training exercises for the Army, and so it has been an extra project for her to pass the time :).  We have learned, however, that we need to be more careful about talking while we cut the material though . . . lets just say that we need to make another trip to the fabric store – he he!

And last, but certainly not least, LILY!  Lily got a haircut – just a much needed trim, but she was so cute.  She sat perfectly still – miracle!!  And all for one piece of candy corn – thank goodness for Halloween candy.  Check out the before and after pictures:

    Lily does look “fresher” and of course so sweet as well…man I want a little girl! I love the pictures of Derek too.

    Is Lily wearing a garbage bag? That could be a good idea. Payton freaks out when he gets all the itchy hair on his back, but he won’t keep the towel-cape on. Derek is so cute asleep there — I don’t know that I’ve ever had a child konk out on the floor!

    Hi Lisa, My name is Bonnie. I am a friend of Shannon M, and I wanted to introduce myself. I have been watching you from a far (not in the creepy way)and I think you are a very neat person. I have two girl, and I know all the tricks for giving haircuts. Bribery has got to be the best. They start to expect more and more as they get older. Good luck.
