She's Talking up a Storm
Maiki is getting taller and more verbal on a daily basis. Here's a list of some of the cute things she does:
-She will hug and say goodbye to everyone. The cutest is when she says, "toodloo."
-Whenever you say thank you, she enthusiastically replies with "I'm welcome."
-She doesn't want anyone to feel left out. Whenever we sing patty cake, she always includes daddy, even if he's not there.
-Maiki is curious and adventurous. She always says, "I try it!"
-My personal favorite is when Maiki gives you a big hug and says, "I missed you." (Even if you just saw her an hour before.)

New Job
The new announcement is that I just accepted a position teaching at the new junior high in West Layton. :) The school will be called Legacy Junior High. The mascot is the silver wolves, and their colors are navy, crimson, and silver.
Syracuse Jr. High is actually closer to our house, but our neighborhood feeds into the new junior high. It'll add at least 10 minutes to my commute every day (it's 5 miles from Maiki's daycare), but it will be worth it to teach in a building with air conditioning.
I feel really good about the position and the principal (Ken Hadlock from KJH). My biggest worry is teaching a new class: newspaper/yearbook, and teaching on a block schedule (90 minute A/B days).
I'm finishing this year at Syracuse Jr. High, then I'll move in as soon as the school opens (next August).

Ski Train to Winter Park
While in Colorado we had to check out the skiing/snowboarding. We discovered it’s true what they say, Utah really does have the “greatest snow on Earth.”
We took the ski train to one of the oldest resorts, Winter Park. The ski train has been operating since 1940! Here are the links, just in case you want to check them out:

*Winter Park has the highest six person chair in northern America (12,000 + feet above sea level)!

Tony & Lacy's House
Last weekend we left Maiki with Grandma Sherrie and headed for Denver to see Tony and Lacy’s new house.
The front of the house and Tony’s sweet ride
Their neighborhood in Littleton, CO
Tony’s famous LandCruiser
I’m SO jealous. . .

Valentine's Day
While the boys are away the girls (and kids) will play!!!
Chris and Jay were hard at work, so Heidi and I took the kids to lunch at The Dodo and then to the Planetarium (at the Gateway).
Maiki, Truman, Alek, and Sammy on the moon
Maiki on Mars
Orange plunkets, made by Chris
On Valentine’s Day we stayed home to avoid the crazy crowds and Chris made French toast for dinner. It was the best ever! (He even made homemade syrup.) Make sure to ask him for the recipe.
