Just Dance

Shaylin has always enjoyed dancing along with her favorite songs/moves, especially Enchanted when she was younger and both her and Emmalyn love to dance along with the High School Musical movies and their 'Just Dance: Kids' Wii game that they got for Christmas. So Shaylin was really excited when we signed her up to take dance lessons from Alyssa Mangum, who is in one of the other wards here in Maricopa. She loves going to dance class (and was sad when she missed a week while she was sick with the chicken pox) and coming home and showing us all the dance moves that she learned.

Here's Shaylin before her first class with her friend Indianna and Emmalyn on Thursday Jan 6th...


Here she is before class on Feb 3rd. Jayna got ready to take her picture and Shaylin decided on her own to pose like this...


We had a little bit of a scare with Emmalyn in the middle of February. She was running around playing with Shaylin in the garage and driveway while I (Matt) was using the table saw. One of her flip flops fell off while she was running around and she fell down. She was wearing sunglasses and somehow the sunglasses ended up cutting her over her eye. There was a lot of blood, so I called Jayna, who was at the store and she came straight home. Jayna then took her up into town to her old Bishop's house, who is a plastic surgeon, to see if Emmalyn would need stitches (we've heard horror stories about stitching jobs from the local Maricopa Urgent Care). Luckily she didn't end up needing stitches after all.

We didn't get a picture of it when it looked really bad, but here it is a few days later on Feb 18th after it had a few days to heal...
