Torbyn's Family Home Evening Lesson!

Torbyn had a 2 week turn of teaching our FHE lessons a few weeks ago. Take a look at the visual and then I'll explain:

The top circle is the head of a snow man. Week one: we adorned the head with eyes, nose, ears, etc. One face part was: read a story, the ears were songs to sing which he also had visual helps as we sang letting us know if we: 1. sang nice 2. sang like a rock star and 3. sang bad. Just for the record, we as a family sang like "rock stars". Watch out American Idol! The activity of FHE was a Treasure Hunt! He made all of the clues himself. I only helped him with some spelling and arranging of the hunt. In the end the "treasure" was the Book of Mormon. This really was his idea.

Week two: we added the body of the snowman. The arms suggested we play on the computer or the Wii. The buttons said to go out side to play or sing a song. Again we got the "rock star" visual as we sang.

It was fun to see Torbyn so excited about FHE!!

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.
