A week of leave.

My brother Riley got to come home for a week after he graduated from Airborne. It was so great to have him home for a while.We had fun going to lunch, playing lazer tag, watching movies, and just hanging out. He is in the 3rd brigade of the 82nd Airborne division. He will be in North Carolina for a while. The rest of his brigade is in Iraq right now, but they are almost done, so Riley wont be deployed for quite a while.

Romney Family Reunion

Benjamin and Isaac

Our nephews Isaac and Miles

Benjamin on the slip n' slide. I love the look on his face!

We had such a fun Romney reunion. My favorite part was the slip and slide and the Romney's next door neighbors. They flooded the play ground that they put in their yard and let us play. Isn't that the coolest?

WE DID IT!

We made it through another semester!

The Fourth of July!!!

Apricot Cheesecake!

Floating the canal with Amberlee and Autumn

Strawberry Shortcake

Fireworks!

Autumn and Anthony heading to the canal

We had a blast during our fourth of July break! We went to the parade in the morning, then went to a Barbeque at the Romney home. We had apricot cheesecake and steaks! Then everyone floated the canal (I took pictures). Then we crashed the next barbeque at my Nikki and Eric's (my aunt and uncle). There was red, white, and blue cheesecake! (have you guessed that cheesecake is my favorite?) It started pouring, so we moved inside. Then we went to the Rexburg fireworks with my family and lit off our own at my parents house.

A call from Riley!!!!!!!!

A couple weeks ago, I got to talk on the phone with my little brother Riley!!! He has finished basic training, and he will finish Infantry training at the end of this month. Then he gets a small break for graduation before he starts airborn training. He is at Fort Benning in Georgia in the army. He looks so tough. He got 36 hours leave and he bought minutes on a temporary cell phone. It was so great to talk to him. I love my brother so much!

Another Great Day at BYUI........

I know I know, it has been months since I have posted. I thought I would post an update real of our classes this semester:

Benjamin:
Organic Chemistry II
Physics
Psychology
Advanced Anatomy

Amy Jo:
Use and Abuse of Drugs
Health Behaviors and Theories
New Testament
Exceptional Students 6-12
Geology 101

We both love our classes for the most part. Mine aren't too hard and I really enjoy them. Benjamin's are very hard and time consuming, but he is learning a lot. We both have 2 semesters left after the current one. I have to finish my student teaching and Benjamin is aslo going to try to fit in a research internship. Anyway, we spend most of our time at school and apologize if we have been flakey or anti-social. Anyway, I'll get some pictures posted shortly.
