And the winner is...

We went to the YMCA's Fall Festival today, and Talan was in the costume contest. There were probably about 70-80 kids entered in the contest and our cute little golfer won first place! Everyone loved his costume and thought he was the cutest thing ever, and well, we have to agree. Way to go Talan!

First Hair Cut

Little Talan's hair was getting very long; hanging in his eyes, over his ears and long curlies in the back. So... it was time for the monumental first hair cut.
Here is the order of the event:

Before...

During...After...
As you can tell he did not like this whole thing, but his hair looks so cute now. He doesn't look like a baby anymore, he's such a big boy with his short spiked do. And as much as I loved the curls, they were getting a little long and straggly. Hopefully now people won't think he's a girl!

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to a great pumpkin patch on Sunday. It was a huge farm with so much to do, there was a petting zoo, tractor rides, games, a corn maze, and thousands of pumpkins to choose from. And who would have thought... it's in Irvine!?!?

As soon as Talan saw the animals in the petting zoo he started saying baa-baa to the sheep and goats. He liked the animals as long as we were right there with him.
Oink-oink piggy!

Fun ride in the wheel-barrow, hold on tight.

"Hey Dad, over here, I found the perfect pumpkin!"
