Ballet Class
Lucy started Ballet class this week. Soooooooooo cute!!! They do 15 minutes of tap and then 15 minutes of ballet and then 30 minutes of gym time. She absolutely loves it. She was beaming when we got her ballet shoes and she didn't want to take them off because she loved them so much. I finally got them off of her and then she had to hold them until class started :)
President Hinckley-Prophet
President Hinckley passed away last Sunday the 27th of January. He will be dearly missed in every way. He was the only prophet that I have known since being LDS. I just can't believe that he is gone. He is the most amazing man and I know that this is a happy time for him, because he can be back with his eternal companion, but for the rest of the world it is a great loss and he will be sorely missed. His enthusiasm for the gospel and his zest for life were so inspiring. He traveled to visit the saints in other countries than any other Prophet so far, and he oversaw more temples being built than any other prophet. It's hard for me to imagine the church without him. If you missed his funeral and wanted to see it go to www.lds.org and you can watch it there. It was a very moving funeral. So, that was my week: a lot of crying :)
Marry me!
While eating dinner Beanie told us how his best little friend at school, Annie, asked him to marry her. We asked him what he said and he said "I just said 'sure'". We all laughed, except for Lucy who hot this look on her face and then she proceeded to look at Beanie with those "girly" eyes and said "Beanie, you are going to marry me, right? Beanie, marry me." And then she put her little hand on his arm and repeated her little plea, to which Beanie responded "Lucy we can't. When you are older you will understand that we can't because you are my sister. Lucy looked quite devastated. He is the one boy she cannot live without :) Lucy still claims that they are getting married.
At the house!
This was Lucy posing at our house where the bathtub is going to go in the master bathroom. It was a beautiful sunny day and it was fun to be able to look around the house without freezing! Cute girl!
At Beanie's school
This is Lucy playing with her ponies while we wait for brother at school. Lucy and I usually sit outside of Beanie's class for about an hour. We try to extend it a little more every few days. Sometimes we have some setbacks and then we move forward. Lucy does amazing! Of course, we are surrounded by books and that is one her favorite things in the world to do; being read to. This week we were all pretty sick and Beanie missed four days of school, so hopefully this week will go well. I am sure it will :)

Driving Brother to school
Most mornings Lucy does fantastic at getting up early and driving brother to school. Well, this morning she didn't wake up until we were ready to leave, so I bundled her up and took her to the car. Every time that has been fine. Well, it was one too many times!! She cried the whole way there and proceeded to get angrier and angrier!!!! Usually Beanie and I laugh about this, but today, it was not meant to be, because Beanie also started to cry! Well, Mommy kept her cool (not easily, by the way), but the longer the ride was the more mad Lucy was. eventually she started making comments of how angry she was. "I am so angry!" Her little face would scrunch up and she then screamed "I Hate EVERYTHING!!!!" I couldn't help but laugh. She proceeded to identify all of the many things that she hated for the rest of the car ride, either with a scream or a cry. Now, let me clarify, Lucy is EXTREMELY sweet. She is cuddly and my major Lovey Dovey girl. But, she has a temper, especially when she is tired and well, she was tired!!! What a drive to school!
But, the story goes on....
We arrive at school and Beanie starts to get panicked about staying at school. So, Lucy and I stay in the little library area right outside his door. Well, Lucy is in her pajamas, but luckily I am dressed for the day, because we ended up needing to stay until 1:30!!!! From 8:00 until 1:30. Thankfully they had a lot of great books for me to read to Lucy and she calmed down as soon as we walked in the door. Lucy is completely easy to entertain and she can find joy and make a game out of anything. So, that was our exciting day last week.

Lucy the Sunbeam!!!
Lucy is now a Sunbeam at church and she is loving it! In fact next week she is giving the prayer and the scripture! But I want to tell you the story of Lucy on the first day of her Sunbeam class. Lucy was sitting in her little chair with her teacher and her class. One of Lucy's little friends, was sitting next to her and really liked Lucy's headband, so Lucy's friend decided that she would like to try it on. So, she proceeded to try and tug on it, which in turn pulled on Lucy's hair. Lucy got right up and went to her brother to tell him what had happened. Beanie gently caressed Lucy's hair and told her that she would be OK and to go ahead and tell the teacher. Lucy went right back and did exactly as brother had told her to do :) Brave little girl and awesome Brother! Sweet little friendship!
Lucy and her Brother
Beanie and Lucy have always said that they wanted to marry each other. Anytime that I say "Daddy and I are married", Lucy always responds that she wants to marry brother and vice versa
Beanie always wants to marry Lucy. Well, last week Beanie finally asked me if that were possible. I told him "no, brothers and sisters can't marry each other in this country." So, a couple of days later I overhear Lucy tell Beanie that she wants to marry him and Beanie responds by saying "Lucy we can't marry each other here, because it is illegal. I guess we will have to go out of the country to get married. Maybe like, England or something." Lucy was just fine with the idea!
frist floor framed!
The house is coming along! The first floor and the basement have been framed and they will start on the second floor this week! As soon as they clear the FOOT of snow that we got away :)

Gingerbread House
We made this Gingerbread House on the Saturday before Christmas. We made it from scratch and the kids loved making it out and cutting it out and especially decorating it. Opening the Christmas presents and making a Gingerbread house are Beanie's favorite traditions for Christmas! Lucy had one side and Beanie had the other. They did a great job!
Lucy and Haley
Lucy and Haley together at Grandpa's for Christmas Day! This is his cute little tree.
Christmas Day with Grandpa Cannon
Christmas day with Grandpa! April, Kevin, Haley, and our family met with the Cannons at Grandpa's for Christmas! We met in his front lobby area since there was such a large group of us and we played the white elephant game and had a great time getting to catch up with everyone!
As we were leaving Lucy said "I don't want to leave Grandpa". She loves her Grandpa and he loves her!
