Our new "Scrub Slouch"

Our little Brighton turned eight this month. He started scouts this week, or as Grandpa Starley calls it "scrub slouching". He was SOOOOOO excited to wear his uniform and check stuff off in his book. He came home and passed off the requirements for his bobcat immediately. Last night Skyler had a court of honor where he earned his star (I think...what do I know?). Anyway, Brighton wanted to wear his uniform too, so he did. Cute little enthusiastic bug!

Vegas Snow Day

We had a snow day in Las Vegas! It was magical to see the big flakes come down for hours and actually stick to the ground. The kids sat by the phone waiting for the schools computerized system to call with the words "snow day--no school tomorrow!" Sure enough it came. They were so excited. The funny thing is that by morning all the snow was melted and they would have been fine to go to school. Weak!!!! Now they have to make up the day in March.
