"I didn't want my hair to get in my face when I brushed my teeth"- Meghan

She came out of the bathroom so I could help her get her toothpaste and I lost it! This is Mya's shower cap. Apparently it is multifunctional!

Remembering my past with my future...

We decided to spend "spring break" in Idaho this year, bad idea if you are looking for spring like weather! As we enjoyed a wintery week in Idaho with family I decided I would take the girls around the town and show them a few things that stick out in my mind from my childhood.

First and foremost I wanted them to see the "Welcome to Rigby" sign. I remember this sign when it was shiny and new. It is a bit run down these days, but it still lets everyone driving by know that Rigby, ID is the birthplace of the television!

I guess I took for granted how beautiful the Snake River really was(and is) as a child. I love to drive by the Riverwalk when I visit and take in the beautiful falls.

This water tower is special to Mya! I have no idea why, but when she was 2 years old we drove past this red, white and blue relic and Mya shouted with joy that she found "Barney's Castle"!! Ever since then that is how we refer to it. We have now convinced Meghan that it's Barney's Castle!

Last but not least, we drove by the "witches tower"!!! I don't know what the purpose of this old stone building was, but I can tell you that my family took great please in scaring us with it! I would love to find out it's true purpose!

Welcome Home Troops!!

We are lucky enough to live amongst many military bases and are surrounded by active and retired military people! Last week was a very active week with many of our local troops returning home. You can always tell when they are going to return because you see signs hanging from the pedestrian bridges! I pass this bridge weekly on my way to school. Last week it was overflowing with signs! It makes me have mixed emotions, I'm so excited for the families being reunited and sad for the families who have lost a loved one!

Most importantly, I just want to say "THANK YOU" to all the people past and present who has fought for our great country!!

Night Sky...

Mya took this picture of the moon last week. It was just as beautiful as the harvest moons in the fall!


Last night instead of our usual orange/red/yellow sunset we had this! The pictures are a little blurry I took them from the car! It looked evil in a way. The colors changed quickly from the light blue to dark blue or almost a greenish color!

She hates it...

Meghan was not really happy about having to sit down and be quiet at while we waited for Mya to get her award. I think you can tell from these pictures..

Mya's award

Every semester they give awards to the students that have earned them. Mya got a "Blue Card". As always, we are very proud of her..

Our dog snoring...

Turn up the volume! This is funny! Fiona can really snore...

Sorry about the purple handle in the video but I couldn't move it or it would wake her up.
