Misc. happenings from May

As of May I am officially employed!! It's the perfect gig!! I am the nanny for a family who just had their 5th little one! Mostly I take care of #'s 3 and 4. Two very busy little boys!! The two older kids are in school til June 16th. (3rd grader and 1st grader) It's great cause I don't have to find daycare for Brittyn. After a few weeks of adjustments, Brittyn is happy with the situation as well. We were getting a little bored at home and the extra cash helps out as well!!

Jadyn had the entire HS Auditorium audience captured at the Elementary talent show. I can say it!! He was in my book the best act of the night!!! He played piano and sang 100 Years, Five for Fighting. Go Jadyn!! He already has plans for next years Middle School talent show!! 6th grade here he comes!!

Mother's Day was the best one yet!! Jeff always spoils me but especially on this day!! Breakfast in bed, cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, the beautiful lily to wear to church!! Thanks Mom and Dad Eakins for raising such a great boy!!

Memorial Day fun!! We were so excited for the arrival of Aunt Jenna and Uncle Tanner May 19th!! We visited Gettysburg and found out next time to allow a lot more time than just a couple of hours! Watch out for ticks Aunt Jenna! She was the only one who had 3 climb on her during our gettysburg adventure!! We got them before they drew blood! At the end of the tour we found the tallest swing set ever. Jadyn had never seen one so big so we stopped to stretch before the drive back home(1 hour) and I pushed Jadyn for his best swing thrill! He wanted me to stop but I told him he had to experience going high on this swing. In the end, I think he liked it. It was fun hanging/bonding with Jenna and Tanner!! Morgyn was happy to have Jenna around for fashion consulting. The girls did a little "up-scale" thrift shopping at a cute store called, Lucy's. We also experienced swimming in the rain on memorial day Monday and the eating Jeff's best grilled hamburgers!! Jenna picks out the best watermelon ever and Brittyn still loves to eat corn on the cob and no meat. Torbyn drew pictures for aunt and uncle and showed them his skills at reading, the Wii, pokeman, and soccer. We were a little bummed that Jeff was only a week out from surgery which meant that we toned down the "playtime" and mostly stayed close to home!! Can't wait to see family again!!!

We are adjusting to life in Maryland! Morgyn is close enough to walk to school! Jadyn and Torbyn bus it to school! Brittyn and Mommy are home together having fun and Dad is learning the ropes with his new job. Jeff is also starting his second class towards his Masters with Gonzaga.

We had a great Christmas! Only half of our tree fit in the house. But we made it work. In the end it still filled our window and Jeff was satisfied.
Before Christmas we took a trip on the Metro to D.C. and saw our nations capital in person and of course the 76 ft tree from Montana! The kids also loved the Natural History Museum!
A couple of days before Christmas we also drove to the DC temple to enjoy the lights. Not exactly like Temple Square but it worked!
Morgyn represented our family well today with a great youth talk about service. She was very poised for her first talk in Sacrament Meeting.
