The end of the summer brought my brother's family (Chris, Cassi, Katelyn, Megan and Baby boy yet to be born) to AZ. We are so excited to have more family here and FINALLY some cousins to
play with!
(Katelyn & Megan leaving Aunt Kaley an "Apple Attack" surprise for the first day of school)
With school starting we were left with only Brock at home now that Blake is in pre-school half a day. Ahhhh, love pre-school!
Blake's school is only about 5-7 minutes away from our house but he insisted on riding the bus--the B-L-A-K-E- bus as he called it. The bus ride adds another 15 minutes on both ends of the day so Brock and I have a lovely 3 hours to do chores, go to the grocery store or go shopping with Grandma, Aunt Cassi and Megan!
Bradley and Bryson are expert bus riders and anxiously await the first day of school!
In October we discovered Blake was in need of a frenectomy. The frenulum is the "connector" between your tongue and the bottom of your mouth. Blake was literally tongue tied because his was attached at the tip of his tongue instead of further back.

So for anyone who's interested a frenectomy only takes about 20 minutes. The entertainment provided by the ketamine they used during the proceedure was priceless and I could shoot myself for not taking any pictures or video!
Along about Halloween, some very rough and tumble cowboys wandered into our town.

As you can see some are more rough and some are more tumble!
November took us to the Happiest Place on Earth for a much needed vacation/dancing trip (I took our Dance Company to perform at California Adventure). We had a blast and even survived the wind and ash from the California Wild Fires.
A Family Foto miracle!
Double Trouble!!! (But terribly cute trouble!)
Blake & Chase--Buddies in Chaos!
(We LOVE Uncle Chase!!!)
Brock's first Disneyland trip--another vote for the Happiest Place on Earth!
You have to love pictures on the carousel--they always turn out great!
Blake meeting Buzz was an important highlight of the trip!
You might say the experience was out of this world!
The most important accomplishment of our 2 day excursion was Jedi Training for Bryson! After watching 2 shows with 2 failed attempts to get chosen and Katelyn becoming a Princess Jedi, Bryson and I hung around for a 3rd show of Jedi In Training and were finally sucessful!
Because the Force was so strong with him he even pulled off a "Force Push" to thwart some aggressive Storm Troopers! We all feel safer with Bryson around!
This brings us to THE GREAT FLOOD OF '08. It's so big it needs a post of it's own. . .

Not only was Bryson fully trained in the ancient art of the Jedi but he fought Darth Vader and Darth Maul.
