Pink hair, Aeropostal, and Peter Pan!


Morgyn went pink! It has since lightened. A fun way to bring a little warmth to winter. She is easy to spot on the volleyball court and soccer field!!
Jeff and I traded in Idaho driver's Licenses for Maryland. . . (sigh). We are Marylanders! Hunters would be in paradise here!! Big deer population, the residents here refer to them as "pests" and lots of hawks and vultures to eat all the dead deer hit and lying off the side of almost every road around here! Also, instead of the brown squirrels we're used to seeing it's the gray, big, bushy-tailed ones!! And in our backyard we have actual blue birds and cardinals nesting. The bad part is we also have poison ivy and ticks. But we also have heard about the fire flys here and can't wait to see them light up the night sky.

Jadyn asked to shop at Aeropostal! I didn't think boys cared where they shop. I was wrong!! He picked out some shirts and couldn't wait for Monday to wear one to school.
Torbyn asked to have artichokes for dinner the other night. Since when are kids asking for something green to eat for dinner? Only Torbyn, I guess. We settled for broccoli until I make it back to the overcrowded Costco to buy the "craving"!
Brittyn has been into watching Peter Pan the past couple of weeks. A few days ago he fell asleep in the car on our way to take the kids to scouts and Young Women's. I was holding him while he finished a much needed nap (and enjoying cuddling our very active pre-schooler). He suddenly opened his eyes and declared, "I don't want to grow up". It took me a minute to wonder why he'd say that.

Holy Cow! I'm proud of Missy and Jeff for allowing the pink - I would have a difficult time saying yes to that! But it looks so sassy...good for her! Love to all!

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.
