Brennen the Fly Whisperer

This is a talent that we found out that Brennen had when we were in Utah for Grandpa Fox's and Nita's Birthday Party. Over the summer, Brennen caught many "friends" to play with. @least 50 of them. Here is a picture when he had caught two of them at the same time.

Mountain Home Airshow 9-13

We stood in line for over an hour to get a look inside this plane. They only allowed like six people in, because it was set up as a misquito abaitment and herbacide plane. So it had 4 large tanks in the back cargo area.

Just for Aunt Dietz

I can't get the darn pictures to load. Plus most of the pictures are on Aimee's card, and I couldn't get them to transfer..... Its making me grouchy!

I'll try to get to my blogging more regularly.

Love Ya,

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!!!
