First Day of School

We've add some pictures to our Family Photo Album of Braydon's first day of school. He was so excited to be able to be "Big" and go to school. He is attending a Head Start school and loves to play with his new friends, color & paint pictures, and play music. He's having a blast with it.

It's a different story for me. I'm taking 16 credit hours that consist of: Cardiopulmonary Therapeutics I (4), Musculoskeletal Therapeutics I (4), Neurophysiological Therapeutics I (4), Life Cycle I-Birth to Adolescents (2), Patient Presentation-Case Reports from Internship (2). All of these classes cover everything learned/taught last year so it will be a long year for me this semester. I will continue to do my best in posting once a week, but if I don't, I'm Apologizing in advance!

This is our weekly update considering we will be out of town for Labor Day weekend so you all be Safe and have a good one!

Bike'n & Hike'n

Here's one of the 5 new pictures in our Family Photo Album under the folder "Bike'n & Hike'n." Braydon has become a little explorer! The hiking pictures are from some trails out behind our apartment. It was taken while I was locked up in our bedroom typing my case report. He is also becoming a little biker boy. He is able to go around the playground with little help. Katie and I have to go and help him sometimes when he gets stuck. He loves being outside!!

School starts this Monday(Aug. 29). Over the weekend I finished my case report and bought my textbooks. I spent over $700.00 this semester just in books. The only good thing about spending so much, is the fact that we will use these books for this semester and next semester. Braydon also starts school on Monday. He is going to Head Start from noon-3:30 M-F. He is excited about it.

Katie and I are trying to decide what we are going to do over Labor Day weekend. Our friends are thinking about going camping and maybe going to the Grand Canyon. We might do that with them considering they have an "All-Parks" pass so we will all climb in there car and go to the Grand Canyon for the day. As for camping, they know some good little spots that you don't have to pay for because camping around here can be pretty expensive.

New Link Added

Here is a few sample pictures we took recently at Walnut Canyon. Our friends have a National Parks pass so we all loaded into their car and went for a little hike and picnic. We had a great time. Walnut Canyon is full of Indian dwellings along the cliffs of the walls of the canyon. The trail goes along several of these old dwellings that Braydon enjoyed playing in.

We have added a link to our Family Photo Album at Shutterfly. This is a way to let all of you have a chance to view all of our photos, not just the samples that I post here on our website. You don' t have to sign up for anything (if you don't want to) but if you do, it's free. You do have the option of buying some of our pictures yourself or you can ask us to send them to you.

Let me know if you were able to get into the photo album or not. I've been fiddling with it and it works for me, so let me know if it works for you. Leave a comment for me and tell me if you like it or not. We have many more pictures to post if it is something you would enjoy.

Summer is Coming to an End

Here are some more random pictures of Braydon. Katie likes to have pictures for everyone to see. The first picture is when we had our own little SuperBowl party and Braydon found his own football and helmet. The second on is on Easter Sunday in his new church suit that he got from the easter bunny. The last two are of him just playing outside, one with his new bike he got for his Birthday and the other one he is on his friends little scooter.

I am finished with my internship, which make me an official 2nd year student. I'm doing my case study on a patient with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, which is similiar to Carpel Tunnel in the hand, but in the foot.

Both Katie and I have finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We both thought that it was very good and are patiently waiting for the 7th book to come out. I've heard some rumors that J. K. Rowling has said she might come out with 2 more books after Harry is out of school. Has anybody heard anything like that? If you have, let us know!

Other then that, we are all hanging in there and counting down the last 9 months before we move back to Utah!

3 Year-Old Pictures

I know these are alittle late but these are Braydon's Birthday Pictures. Can you believe that he is 3 years-old? Man, that sure has been fast!!!

Katie's family have all gone home. Katie's sister Emily has been with us since the middle of July. Our house is quite now. We are starting to count down to Thanksgiving because we don't have anymore visitors planned until November. Katie's family will be coming back down for Turkey Day. If anybody is passing through this way, feel free to let us know because you can always stop in and rest or spend the night. We're always up for some visitors!!
