Lucy was picked to help make the train noise at the local sing and dance show we go to each week. I was shocked she raised her hand to volunteer.

We went to the Lehi days again this year and the kids loved getting their free pony ride. They don't even ask us to walk by them. It is so fun, and the meal was, again, delicious. Lucy wanted to go into the rodeo ring and try to catch a chick, but she couldn't push through the crowd.

Fisher bit through his tongue. We didn't think to take a picture until the next day. The first day it was a huge hole. It has only been 3 days and it is almost completely healed. The mouth is an amazing thing.

After I took Fisher's picture, Lucy requested I take her's too. This was the day she took her preschool screening tests. I was concerned that her speach might be lacking, but she is just lazy at home sometimes. She passed all the tests with flying colors and we just have to remind her to enunciate her v, th, and sh.

Cakes

Vandi reminded me that I haven't posted any of my recent cakes. I have made 4 since Dec. Here they are.

4 months?

I am so sad that Fisher is still in diapers. We were doing well, but when we went to UT for Christmas he went back into diapers and now I am just waiting for him to tell me when. Although he did pull down his pants and diaper today at the park to pee on a tree. He has to do it "all by myself" or he won't do it at all. So, we wait. I have to post some pictures from the last few months to update. Mark and Suzie came down to visit and we went to Tuscan.

Lucy was a cowgirl again for Halloween and Fisher was the Cool-Aid Man, complete with him saying, "Hey Cool-Aid".

Fisher chose to have Buddy on his Birthday cake and got a new Thomas Track from Grandpa Ogden when he visited. Both kids decided to be really brave and sit on Santa's lap, together, at our ward funciton. They talked all day about how brave they were going to be and how they weren't going to cry. Fisher kept his tough face on the entire time, but made it through.

We went to Utah for Christmas. Lucy decided we all had to go ice skating, which the kids didn't really love, and play in the snow, which all melted the day before we got there. But they did get a few flurries to play in and then there was another big storm the day we left. Grandma took us all to see the lights at the zoo and the kids got excited about their trampoline from Santa and the adults played lots of games. We toasted the new year as a family with our "yummy new year drink" and are enjoying the beautiful weather this time of year in Arizona.
