Catch up time

It's been a long time since a posted anything, and a lot has been going on so I'm going to try to play catch up. Only 4 weeks to go until my due date, and all I have to say is 4 weeks is too long! I didn't think that being pregnant through the heat of the summer would bother me because I'm the person thats usually freezing when its 80 degrees out, but it has been sooo hot. Darren thinks I'm crazy. You know the movie Father of the Bride 2? Where they have the air conditioner turned way down and everyone else is running around the house in winter coats? I wish that was my house.

Gabby Can Read

Gabby learned to read in pre-school this year. She picked it up really fast and has been doing really well with it ever since. She loves to sit down and read books to Darren and I. Lately though she's been reading with expression and its so cute!

Fun Fourth!

We went down to Salt Lake for the Fourth of July and watched fireworks and the park with Grandma and Grandpa and the cousins. The girls had a blast! At the park they also had a little carnival with lots of rides. Annie was a little hesitant at Knotts Berry Farm, but that was not the case here. She couldn't get enough of the rides. When it came time for the fireworks Annie wasn't a big fan. She laid down with her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. I laid down next to her and every once in awhile I'd catch her peeking and she'd whisper "there's a pink one" "there's a green one."

California

We were able to take a trip out to California to visit my dad and take a trip to Knotts Berry Farm. Annie was old enough this time that she was able to go on some of the rides, and Gabby was old enough that she could do some of the rides by herself and was also able to do some of the more grown up rides with an adult.

Annie's Birthday

My little girl turned 2 years old! I can hardly believe it. We had a fun little party for her down at Grandma's house. She got this cute little pink scooter which she loved! The funny thing is when I bought the scooter I was actually thinking it would end up being more for Gabby then for Annie. I had been wanting to get a scooter for Gabby, but couldn't justify spending the money when it wasn't Christmas or her birthday. Then when Annie's birthday came along and I couldn't think if a single thing to get for her I thought I would just get the scooter and they could both use it. I didn't think Annie would be that interested in it, but she loved it, which was great!
