My kids love to dance.
We hear "Hot and Cold" by Katy Perry and "I Like to Move" daily at our house. My kids love them and they love to dance to them. They are growing on me as well, but we just need to find the radio version of Hot and Cold. I like Katy Perry, but some of her songs are not kid friendly. Amy learned the words to "I Kissed a Girl" while she was at the Fair this year. I didn't really know what it was about until I really listened to the words and watched the video. Not a very good song.

2008 Christmas Card
December 13, 2008
Dear Family and Friends,
I can’t believe December is half over already. This year went by so fast. It seems like Amy and Parker are growing up way too fast. The highlight of our year was our trip in October. We went to see David’s sister Elizabeth and her husband and new baby in AZ and then spent two days at Sea World and then 3 days at Disneyland. We were able to meet David’s other sister and his brother and their families and my parents at Disneyland. We celebrated Amy’s 4th birthday by having lunch with the princesses. It was so much fun! We can’t wait to go again. We are thinking next spring might be a good time.
Parker is now 19 months and a very quiet boy that loves balls, sticks and tools. He is also fascinated by bicycles, but the only problem is that he isn’t quite big enough to ride one yet. But you can’t tell him that he thinks he can ride one just fine. He just wants to be pushed, but make sure not to touch the handle bars; those are for only his hands. He still thinks Amy is great, but he definitely gets mad at her when she takes something away or she doesn’t let him in her room. We love Parker very much. He is pretty easy going and just goes with the flow for the most part.
Amy is 4 now and we are always hearing about when she turns 5 which isn’t until next October. She is full of drama. We never know what the day will bring. She is still into Disney princesses, but her favorite is now Cinderella. She is going to preschool two half days and week and she is really enjoying it. She just earned her Alphabet Crown, which she is very proud of. The Alphabet Crown means she knows all of her letters and their sounds. Amy also started wearing glasses this year. She looks so cute in them. She is not wearing them in our family picture because she has transition lenses and they get dark outside. It took some convincing to get her to take them off, because she loves them.
David and I are thankfully still working at our same jobs. I still only work 16 hours a week which is perfect for now. We feel very bless to have two wonderful children and extended family and friends that support us. We are very grateful for this time of year to reflect on the blessings we have and for our Savior Jesus Christ. We look forward to hearing from everyone. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
