{Our Four Year Old}

January 18th Ashtyn turned 4 (even though sometimes it feels like fourteen with the new attitude she's getting!) We celebrated with family and she loved everyone thinking of her with princess's, horses, dance clothes, and her butterfly cake.
Some of Ashtyn's favorite things are books besides Fancy Nancy! She loves being read Green Eggs & Ham, The Three Little Pigs, and all the princess fairy tales. When asked what her favorite color is, she started to say pink; but stopped and said she loves them all...ALL the colors mom! Dancing has become her new love, and she got to start her first dance class at the Dance Depot in Lehi. She loves showing off for Teacher Candice (our wonderful neighbor too) and works hard to be the Star of the Show! This year she finally got to go to Sunbeams, and had a hard time at first, but now loves it and her newfound friends. The later schedule helped her fall asleep once during sharing time; and after falling off her chair, wouldn't go back easily. Now she can't wait to go and see her teacher Bro. Fautz!
Most of all, her new thing this year that we love is how she is always asking the funniest questions; like "how the roads are made". Where do kids think of these things? "How did Jesus make our bodies?" We were watching TV, and she noticed they were watching TV on TV...so she asks, "Is somebody watching us on TV mom?" And our favorite, she wanted to know where we could get India's puppies from...if they would be in a box, or at Walmart? Love this girl!

Yes, Miss Ashtyn is one of a kind! I miss all the things she would say where I would have to discreetly turn my head and crack up without her looking. :) Give that girl a hug from us!

She is such a cutie! It makes me almost sad to think how grown up she is. I remember when she was barely born.. Seems like yesterday. . . .
