Dance Recital

Gabby had her first dance recital tonight. She's been taking "Creative Movement" classes for the last three months from someone in our ward and tonight was her big show. Her Grandma and Grandpa and cousin Cloie came up from Salt Lake to see her dance. She looked so cute and did such a good job. I was a little worried that she would get up there in front of everyone and get stage fright, but she had no such problem. This is a little video of her dance. Autumn is in front of her for most of it, but it's still cute. 

    

Pierced Ears

Annie got her ears pierced today and she looks adorable! I had to go to the mall to return some shoes for Darren and I decided to just go ahead and do it. She cried for a second when they first did it, but she's been fine since, she doesn't even fuss when I clean them. Gabby was extremely worried for her little sister, she also cried, because Annie was crying. But then she got a sucker so life was good again. 

6 Months!

Annie had her six month appointment today. I can't believe she's six months already! Everything is great, she's 16 lbs. 5 oz. and 25.5 in. She had to get a few immunizations today and also a flu shot. Gabby also got a flu shot and she is being extremely dramatic about it. She was very good during the shot, she didn't even cry. But now she's limping around all over the house and telling me she's too tired to do anything, can you say Drama Queen?! Annie just gets more adorable every day. She's babbling a lot now. She says da-da pretty regularly now, much to Darren's delight, of course she doesn't know what she's saying (even though Darren insists that she does.) She's also starting to be very demanding for attention. If you walk by her and don't acknowledge her she yells at you, not cry, yell! What a cutie. 

Fun in Price

We went to Price yesterday for a big dinner with Darren's extended family. Gabby had fun playing with her cousins, and Annie of course had fun being held by everyone.

Here are the girls playing in the leaves out in front of Great Grandma and Grandpa Arnold's house.

Here they are singing on the stage at the church. (We had the dinner at the church because the family is too big to fit comfortably anywhere else.)

Halloween

Here are some pictures from Halloween. Annie was an adorable cow, and Gabby was the cutest scarecrow ever. 

I took the girls to the mall on the afternoon of Halloween. The stores were doing trick-or-treating and I thought it would be fun for Gabby. We walked around to all the stores and she got a pretty good load of candy just from that. We went home and I let her have a couple of pieces of candy and then I told her no more till after dinner. I put all of her candy in a bowl and put in on the cupboard. She said "Mommy can you just get it down so I can look at it?" So I got it down so she could look at her candy, then she says, "Mommy can I just smell it?" I told her it was fine if she smelled it as long as she didn't eat it, and she took a big old whiff of it. So this is a picture of her smelling her candy. I guess that's second best to eating it. 

This is Gabby with her loot after trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. She was exhausted by the time we were done.
