Today we went to Kirsten and Jon's ward to watch their kids in the Primary presentation. They all did a good job singing and doing their parts. They had parts that were a lot longer than the parts our primary did but then our primary is about twice as big.

Larry is taking a nap right now. He has been tired again lately. We bought the book "Total Money Makeover" and have been reading that together to learn some tips for getting out of debt. We read it yesterday as we went to Logan. We went to Logan to get Larry measured for a Tux for BJ and Holly's wedding. We got that taken care of and then he saw a suit on sale there for $99. It was a good deal because it was normally a $300.00 suit so we got it for him. Then we met Holly at the mall to look for dresses for the granddaughters for the wedding and while Holly and I were looking for dresses Larry traded in his phone for free for a new one on Verison's new every two program so he now has a new phone.

I went back to school full time this week. I did okay during the day but I was surprised at how tired I was in the evening. I wanted to go to bed everyday about 7:30 p.m. or earlier. My neice, Amy, got married on Thursday and I took the day off so that I would not be too tired to enjoy the experience. But I made it through the rest of the days okay and even relatively organized.

My knee is doing really well and it is great to be able to do things that I could not do before. It still has days it hurts or bugs me but I have found that on the days I exercise it feels better so that encourages me to exersize.

BJ will be home on Friday from his naval A school. We aren't sure what time yet. We are having a birthday party for Daniel and Ashton on Sunday the 30th. Everyone who can come should be able to see BJ and I know he is looking forward to seeing each of you. And of course I know that some of you already had other plans.

Jeff called on Grandparents day and had the kids wish us a happy grandparents day. It was cute to hear them even though he said that Leah was not very happy about life at the time. They were getting too close to bed time.

Maren and Landon have been busy lately. They left today to celebrate their 2nd anniversary. Shirley got to tend Brinlie because they are staying overnight. Brinlie would be happy with that because she is not very happy being with me right now. We went to Amy's wedding reception on Friday and Maren and Landon were just leaving, I went to give Brinlie a hug and she pushed me away and said "NO!" She is a real parent's baby lately. She is starting to sing the words to songs she learns from TV. and say a quite a few words. Maren and Landon are going to Montana next weekend for Landon's cousins wedding so they probably will not be here for the family party.

Jake and Nikki had Ashton's birthday on the ninth at their house. We had a fun time with all our family and Nikki's there. Ashton got a lot of really nice toys but he was really excited about a raceway that Maren and Landon gave him. He really likes cars, like his dad. Jake and Nikki and family are going to Las Vegas this weekend with Nikki's parents so they will not be here for the family party but Ashton had his family celebration anyway and he is sure a cute 2 year old.

Lexie, Ethan, and Kyle have all started soccer again this fall and seem to be having a good time playing. I am hoping to get to at least one of their games this fall.

Michelle went for a stomach scope last Monday. They found polyps. They gave her some medication for it. They haven't told her anything else. But, Daniel says the medication they gave her is known to cause polyps!! Daniel is working everyday and for extra curricular activity he mows the lawn. Hailee is in piano lessons and two dance classes. Michelle is the leader of the Christmas program at school this year again (As well as being President of the parent organization). Jaron is in pre-school and joy school and in choir. Kallise is singing and talking but they don't know yet what the words are.

Nathan is busy a lot with his school. Sara says that he is gone for about 12 hours each day with classes and studying. Sara is stuck at home when he has to take the car because they only have one car. Sammy has two teeth and is starting to sit up. Issac is talking in sentences but only his mother can understand him. David is enjoying school. He rides the bus. He got the things we sent to his class.

Erick is busy with school and work. He works alot on Friday and Saturday. He did go to a party on Saturday night with some people in his ward. They put him in as Elders Quorum Secretary so he is busy with responsiblities related to that. He went with us to Amy's wedding at the temple and to Ashton's birthday so we get to spend sometime with him. He does not go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays so sometimes he lets me use his truck. The person who was mowing our lawn quit so he is now mowing our lawn when Larry or I can't.

It has been pouring down rain several times today and we are supposed to get snow in the mountains tonight so I guess Fall is more than officially here.
