Good Bye Mullet, Hello Big Kid.

Scout is turning 2 on Sunday and I thought it was time to get her hair cut.  This was her first real haircut.  My mom took a turn at cutting her hair when she was about 1.  We have not returned to Salon Grandma! No, it wasn't that bad; it was only her bangs.   Scout will be an only child for 3 more months, so, I am determined to spoil her as much as possible.  When it came to choosing a salon she informed me it had to be fun, have cars, show Dora and have candy and balloons.  I thought, "well, that isn't over the top at all," and I made an appointment at a special kids salon. There was even a slide in the waiting area. It was actually worth it!  The girl was exceptional with kids and new just how to cut AND style the thin, static filled hair on my kids head.  The only rough part was informing Scout that is was time to go.

The stringy mullet.

This was her face as she saw the car!

 

The haircut it self.

The cut is done.  Just needs a bit of style.

 

The final look.

The front does not look too different.  She is growing out her bangs.  The whole look over all is nice and clean and she can still put most of it up in pony tails.

 

What has Scout been up to?

Scout's calander is always packed.  With the nice, mild weather we have been having she has been doing some last minute "good weather" activities.

                                            She loves Grandpa Andersons mower.

She got some kissing time in.

Scout was nice enough to take her parents to Sundance.

She even had the time to show her dad some of the mountain side.

October is over, but not forgoten

Here are some pictures from October that did not make it in another post.

               My mom came to visit and unfortunatley there are no pictures to prove it.  Cedric, my mom, Scout and I had a great time at Gardner Village.  The pony ride was a big hit.

Scout had her first dentist appointment.  It went really well.  She even had a couple of x-rays taken.

Tomato pie is delisious. Try Paula Deans recipe some time.

Cedric's cousin, Jessica, came for an impromptu visit and we had an apple picking party with Nigel and Camille.

Scout loves practicing for when she gets a real pony!  

This Halloween Was Awesome.

This year Cedric and I attended a party we are invited to every year by Nick and Julie Escobedo.  It is always way fun and one lucky person even wins $100.00 for best costume.  This year it was a transformer couple.  They put so much work in to thier costumes!

The Winners

Sarah, Cedric (zombies), Kolby (Alps hiker), Grant (pilot), Micah, Camille and Carly (Brothers Bloom)

I did not even have to do my make-up.  I just woke up, never got ready for the day and this is what I got!

Cedric?  Is that you?

The best part of Halloween was trick-or-treating with Scout!

Grandma and Grandpa Durand found a very cool dragon costume for Scout to wear.  She put her costume on at 8:00am and  would not take it off until it was time for a bath at 7:30pm.  That was Friday.  Saturday she put it on after her nap and took it off for her bath once again.   Scout had a great time getting treats and Cedric had a really fun time giving treats and a few scares!  He wore a gorilla costume he has had for a while, acted liked a stuffed gorilla, sat on the porch and scared the heck out of little treat seekers!  It was so fun for everyone.

Not too scary before dark.

Getting started.

Scout knocked every time, but it just wasn't loud enough.  I decided to knock too.

She asked so nicely for a treat and said thank you every time. After the 4th house she really got the hang of it and just wanted to keep getting treats.  So, that is what we did.

Checking out some loot.

All of the booty.  This kid was one lucky 23 month old!

Binging time.  Oh, the laundry is clean and was waiting for our maid to fold.

A toddler on her way to one serious candy hangover!

All in all, it was great.  Scout never got sick, she did have a bit of trouble falling to sleep though.  The next day was fine and she did not ask for a single piece of candy all day!  Good thing too, because it is all gone. 

Over the Halloween weekend we also attended a church costume/chili party and a family/friends party.  We look forward to next years festivities.
