Don't feed the ANIMALS!!!
The kids didn't have school on Monday, so I loaded the kids up and head to San Antonio. We went to the Zoo and had a great time. Each of the kids were able to see their favorite animals. We also enjoyed a train ride through the park area around the Zoo. It was a wonderful day!!!
Dinner and a Movie
This is how we enjoyed our Sunday evening. The kids had a great time watching Scooby Doo 2.
Update on our Home
It has been a while since we have posted pictures of the progress of our house. We have been amazed at how fast it is coming along. It now has tile, cupboards, railings, paint and bath tubs. We LOVE it!!! We can't wait for all of you to come and visit.

Watching her bloom
It is hard to believe that Brynlie is 7 months old already. Time goes by so fast. She went in for a check up and our light weight child weighs 20.8 lbs. We love the chubs!!! I know that you can't tell, but she has her first tooth!!!
What else could go wrong.......
So, it has taken me a while to update everyone on the ongoings of our family. Life has been pretty crazy over the past month and a half.
For those of you who did not hear. The first week of August Brent was playing church ball. He had been playing pretty well all night and as the night was drawing to an end he thought he would finish off with a "sweet move." Little did he know that it would be the last "sweet move" he would make. When he called me on his home I thought that he was joking and that it really couldn't be that bad. It wasn't until the Dr. said that he had torn his ACL and cracked his meniscus that I realized that this was bad.
Brent had surgery on Sept. 3rd. He was very nervous for the surgery, (but he should have been more nervous for the recovery). The surgery went well. The ligament was replaced by a cadaver (Brent did request one from a Jamaican). When we left the surgery center they sent us home with some pretty cool equipment. One is called a CPM, it basically moves his leg for him. The other is a Polar Unit, which constantly rotates cold water keeping the swelling down. Pretty cool stuff.
Even though he was totally drugged up he still continued working.
When I was bringing Brent home we were prepared for almost everything, but not for what waited us at home. Our street had been blocked off because of a fire. In the back of the house we are renting there is a grassy revine that is there for flooding purposes. And there had been a fire. Luckily for us it stopped at our neighbors back fence. The police wouldn't let me pull into our driveway. The closest that they would let me get was in front of our neighbors house. The police and firefighters watched me as I helped Brent, carried the machines and Brynlie into the house. Not one of them offered to help. Whats up with this public service crap.
So once we got everyone settled I thought that everything was going to settle down just a little. But that would be too easy. Ryan started running a fever of 103.6, and I am not joking. And that is where the real fun began. A stomach virus hit almost everyone in the family. McKenely is the only one who has so far not been taken down sick. We are really keeping our fingers crossed that she won't. Cause it sure is a doozey.
So, to make a long story short don't knock on wood cause it will get up and smack you in the butt, (or the knee).

Little thoughts...
*So Brent and I heard the funniest thing tonight. And this is how it went:
Ryan: "Girls let me in, let me in!!!"
and then there was a small pause.....
"huff and puff (and then he actually tried to blow the door down)"
We laughed so hard!!!!!
*So, I am pretty new to the world of blogging. And I don't really know what I am doing. It's kind of learn as you go, and some of you have really cute blogs. So share the wealth!!! I need to learn all the tricks so that I can be as cool as you all :)

Already 6 months old
It is hard to believe that our little girl is already 6 1/2 months old. She has been a very pleasant baby. We love her beautiful smiles. They take up her entire face. She is starting to move all over the place. Everyone loves holding and playing with her. It is hard to see her grow up to fast. I wish that I could slow her down, and then fast forward through the teenage years. Is it possible? Is there a magic formula? We should patten one, we would be RICH!!!!! We wish you all could be here to see her grow. She is truly a happy and beautiful baby.

The First Day of School
So the time has finally come for the kids to start school. They had their first day on Tuesday, and it was a really early morning. I (because my husband is crippled) had to get the kids up at 6:30. No one was prepared for that! Luckily the morning went off without a hitch. The girls were a little nervous to be starting a new school where they didn't really know anyone. But it turned out that they both had someone from the ward in their classes. What a relief!!! The hardest part was sending Ryan off. It was actually harder than it was when I took the girls for their first times. He looked a little nervous, but gave me a kiss and hug at the door and went to play with playdough at his desk. I was having the hard time. How could my little man be big enough to start school? He is growing up waaaaaaayyyyyyy to fast. All three of them had a great day at school. And I do have to admit that it was nice only having the two little ones at home.
