I know, I know, I know....
O.k. I know I haven't been to faithful lately. Since school started, I've done nothing but run around.
Our biggest news is that Ashlynn-Marie rebroke her left arm on Thursday October 9 (Happy 1st Birthday Tage!!!), and had to have a pin inserted and surgically set on Friday October 17th. Which followed by two hours of screaming after she woke up from the anaesthesia, because she didn't like how the cast looked. I snuggled with her in bed for about an hour after we got home, and Aimee brought her a pound of M&M's and her world was right again. Yesterday morning my friend Heather's four year old broke his wrist. I think we've started an epidemic, one of which I do not want to take responsibility for.
Ashlynn-Marie loves school! Most of our evenings are filled with homework. She has quite a few activities each night that need to be completed. But she loves school work so it isn't a problem to get her to do it.
Brennen just attended his first "friend Birthday Party" yesterday! A new little boy in our Primary is a week younger then Brenn. This is the boy that Brennen poked in the eye during sacrament their first Sunday. It's funny to see a bunch of Four year olds together, they will play together for a little while and then go their own way for a time, and then come back together again.
Paul's is headed to Florida this week for work. They are going to "Tour" the sites of Orlando so that when people call to book travel there, they have places to recommend. So he gets to go to Disney World, and Universal Studios. How Rough, Right!
I got my first research paper back from my History Prof. I got a B+, and I am shocked. It was such an obscure quote from more than 100 years ago, and then it was a quote about a time period 40 years previous to that one. Anyway I'll take the B+.
How this is finding you all well.
Lots of Love,
Lara

Vegas
To say the very least, we had a little bit of trouble navigating around Las Vegas!!! Coming and Going! Crazy! Any whoo. We had a blast with my brother, SIL, and adorable nephew Easton. We went swimming in the morning; though it felt like an Idaho afternoon! BLAZE'N HOT! Brennen was burnt to a crisp all week. But he didn't complain about it. If we lived in Vegas, I would need to own controlling stock in a sun scream company.
We went and saw the conservatory at the Bilagio, and the Lions at MGM, but the kids are still talking about the stuffed animals Paul and Mark won for them at Circus, Circus while Em, Aim, and I had girls night out. We went and saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. A chic flick meant to seen with a bunch of Sisters or BFF's!
Thanks to the Vegas JOLLEYROGERS Hotel, for the grand lodging!!!

Rock walls & Hell-a-hopters
Our town has their National Night Out on the Saturday before the 1st Tuesday of August (when it is usually Nation wide). It is an event where the Emergency services and military teach kids about their jobs, and educate parents on child safety.
The highlight for Brennen was the Hell-a-hopter. We looked at it twice.
Ash's favorite thing was the climbing wall. She asked us several times in an hour to try. The Soldiers were really inpressed with her...until she ran out of options near the top, and couldn't find a foot hold. They hadn't told her how to get down, and she got spooked. One of the soldiers had to go up and get her down. She was so embarressed, but she wants to go down to the rec center and learn to climb.

Activity Day
This past Thursday, my presidency and I hosted a Primary Activity Day.
Our theme was the Olympics. We had gymnatics, relays, straw Javelin, cotton ball Shot Put, paper plate Discus, an Obstical course, water relay, and a few other games. Ashlynn's BFF Maddie (a non-member friend) came to play the games too. I rented a sno cone machine for the treat. It was a BIG hit.
