Sophie's New Tricks

Up on Hands and Knees folks! She's ready to go! But no moving yet, except rocking forward and backward.

Eating Vegetables! (and other solidish foods)

Sitting!

First Ponytail!

Julia's 11th Birthday!

Julia had a great birthday. It was a busy day because of her dance class and on the way home from dance Josh stopped off at Arby's for her birthday dinner (her choice.) Then she opened the presents and we had cake and ice cream. She got some Webkinz (of course!), new crocs, jazz dance pants and a keyboard.

Sophie enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper.

Katie's Dance Recital Video

We finally got the video figured out. Enjoy!

Julia's Dance Recital

Julia has really enjoyed her dance class this year. The class she is in does tap, ballet and jazz and their teacher decided they would do a tap dance for the recital. It was a long show because there are quite a few classes at the new school she goes to but it was fun to watch.

Dance Recital

Katie wanted me to take this after they were done. She is wearing cute socks because they danced to a song with Christmas socks as the theme.

This is Katie with all of her class. The back row are all in our ward so it's fun for Katie to have dance class with people she knows.

They did the dance twice because the teacher thought they would be distracted by the audience the first time. Katie was so cute because she would wave and run over and give me a hug right after they were done both times.

This the beginning pose. If you can get her to do it for you I would request it next time you see her. It is so cute! (For anybody who is a Star Wars Lego video game fan it is the same move Princess Lea does.)

Katie had her first dance recital a couple of weeks ago. It was just the last ten minutes of her class time in the morning so Sophie and I were the only ones able to attend. I did video it but our computer is messed up and is not allowing us to put videos on our blog. If Josh can figure it out we will put it on here as well as the video of Julia's dance recital. But until then here are some pictures of Katie.

Late Halloween Pics

These are the kids on Halloween night. This is what we got when Josh told them to look scary. Anybody scared?!

Here's Sophie at our ward trunk or treat/chili cook off.

Yummy!

This is what I spent Monday doing at my sister Karen's house. They still needed to be processed and I needed to get home because the kids would be coming home from school. So I drove up this morning to get them. I was really glad that Karen was willing to help me because I would not be able to do it on my own. But now (if I got all of the equipment needed) I would probably be able to do it on my own. But it's more fun to do it with someone else anyway!We've had a lot of fresh peaches around the house as well. I've made a couple pies and Josh and I have been eating peaches constantly it seems. The kids won't eat them, crazy huh? Next up, peach shake!! Yummy!
We were also given a couple huge zucchinis by our neighbor so I made bread as well as brownies. Love this time of year!
