I know it's a long time in between posts, but bear with me here. We've been getting adjusted here in Utah and the boys have generally been great. Kieran has spent most of my time here grounded, but the other guys have been great. Brennan as started his own leaf raking business and has made $63.00 so far. Aidan is doing really well in school and reads like a maniac at home. He has memorized all of "The Cat in the Hat Book". He is totally fascinated by the "Fox in Socks" book and can't get through the whole book without howling at the beetle battle parts. Lucian is writing his name pretty well, thanks to Aunt Tracey. He enjoys school very much as does Aidan. I Love their teachers Mrs. Spangenberg and Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Spangenberg is my favorite and I am lucky enough to talk with her everyday when I pick up the youngest from school. We've had 3 light sprinklings of snow and the temp has been pretty low for the last couple of weeks. Tracey gave Lucian a mohawk last night so I'm going to try and post a pic here. Hope it works out. Will send more of our costumes tomorrow.

Last one!!

The boys swordfighting...I think Kieran believes he's a ninja.

More blackmail!!

So this is my first time posting a video on here so I hope it works!! Let me know if you guys have trouble seeing it. Tracey and the boys were playing the canoeing on the wii, and they looked like such goobers that I decided I need some blackmail. Enjoy!!

Hello everyone, I know I was going to try and get on her more, but WOW!!! I haven't done this much laundry in what feels like 20 years. They guys have been staying busy with school and friends. Brennan had a friend spend the night last night and we all piled into the van to go see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". I have to say it was pretty cute. Tracey went and picked up our tickets early so we wouldn't have to stand in line. You're gonna love their prices here! For 2 adults and 5 children it only cost us $49.50 and that was for the 8:00pm show. It was our first big outing with everyone and we had a good time. After the show we were treated to a fabulous lightning extravaganza on the way home. The thunder shook the whole house this morning at 0514, but only Trace and I heard it.
Jeanie has called a couple of times. We're preparing another big box for her this week. They don't sell Trix cereal etc. so she's having us send some for the young troops who go into sugar withdrawals. Amy sent her large amounts of candy and pumpkin lights for her room. She is in a 4 person room, so privacy is nil and she's already had her shampoo and conditioner stolen from the shower. Go figure. We drove Tracey to Salt Lake yesterday to interview with the Petco down there. She just can't live on 17 hours a week. They had at least 30 cats in there for adoption. The horrible fact in Utah is that they don't seem to spay/neuter their animals, so overpopulation is outrageous here. Saw some adorable cats and dogs! Hopefully she'll get hired on down there and be able to make some decent dough. Miss Washington horribly, but I'm hoping fall is on the way. Tom is trying for leave and a drive down here in November. Can't wait to see him. Miss him something awful. Hope you're all doing well. The Marveling Murphy's
