**pearl & i went to g'ville for a week in september to visit gma & gpa! the highlights included going to the candy dance; binging at in 'n out with dan, laurie, & their boys; eating more at el charro; and driving to beautiful apple hill in camino, california. we had a wonderful visit and got to spend some time with old friends.

**october 8th was a great day. darcy's birthday was simply celebrated with a cake and an acappella solo.
**little did he know... i had been planning and stressing over a surprise party for him the next day. he got off work at 8:15 and was tired and tired. :) we had planned on going "on a date" and our friends were set to watch pearl. when we arrived at the party, he was SHOCKED and pleasantly surprised. it was a poker party, hence the cake. a few minutes later, once everyone settled down, kelsey & jake walked in!!! darcy's sister and her husband drove from rexburg for his b-day. it was the best part of the party! kels & jake stayed the weekend with us [bonus number 2] and we had an awesome time. darcy had NO CLUE i was planning anything. thank you, thank you. :) i'm a good liar. what?
2 levels: silly movie quote tied in the poker theme
AND worst thing i have ever seen. i haven't decorated a cake before! i couldn't stop laughing at it.
**someone's having the best day ever: pearl found out that there are TWO of her baby froggies. she carried them around, hugging and kissing them, until i took them away. :)
**coat & toque from uncle jon & aunt jessie [yes, still fits AWESOME]and new scarf that i made. these pics are terrible- she just looked so cute when we went out last night
readin' books
i couldn't stop myself- i see weird things sometimes and have to take pictures
