OK, where has January gone?~

Where do I start?
We had a wonderful time in Arizona for Christmas. I remember the first time we spent Christmas in Arizona I had a hard time with it not looking like Christmas to me. I needed snow. Well not anymore! The last two times we have been to Arizona I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The warm weather is such a great change from the frigid weather here that who needs snow on Christmas. Not me!~
We had a trip inside our trip this year, Grandpa took us on another adventure. The sand dunes! We were right on the border between California and Mexico. We rode the ATV's right by the huge steel border fence. We had a blast riding the hills and mountains of sand. I was so proud of my Dylan, he went out with us on the sand for a long ride. I told him just to follow grandpa and he did awesome up and down the hills it was great.
We are back in the routine quite well now. It's always hard to get back in the swing of things after a nice vacation. We went to SEP's last week for Dylan and of course he is above normal with his reading and his teacher just loves him. She wrote me the nicest note that said she wished that she could have a classroom full of Dylan's. She said that her job would be so easy if that were true. He is such a hard worker and we are so proud of him. Sophie is doing great too. She is so proud of herself when she talks to her teacher. We stop on the way home from preschool and get her a treat if she talks to her teacher or answers a question. She told me that when she talks she just wants to talk more and more. She's coming along! She is obsessed with us getting a dog. We are not getting one anytime soon but she always says when we have our dog I'm going to do this or that, it is so cute. Yesterday she told me that we need a truck and I said we do? Yes! We need it so that we can take our dog for a ride! She is such an animal lover....
I have a new calling at church that is keeping me very busy but I am enjoying it. Jesse and I are trying to get healthy, we signed up for Santaquin's biggest looser and it has been fun. Jesse is a mad man now about healthy food and I knew if I got him to do it with me I would stick to it. He is such a self motivator that he is determined to win it all! I hope he does!!
