Benjamin just got back from Columbus, Ohio, and St. Louis, Missouri. He did two of his interviews for medical school and he felt pretty good about them. He said that they were very laid back and very friendly at both schools. He really liked both towns. In a few weeks he has three more interviews and one in November. A special thanks to Dan and Rachel Adair for housing Benj!
He took this picture for me :)
I have no idea how this got started. It was pretty late one evening and Emily, my mom, and I were just sitting in the living room talking. Somehow the conversation led to funny hair, which led to this:
We were laughing our heads off, when we decided that I needed a hair due too!
Last but not least, we gave my mom a new look too!
This picture is my all time favorite. We were trying so hard not to laugh!
This is the huge dust storm that we drove through on our way to Rexburg from Moscow.
We took Emily and Joseph over to the Romney’s one Sunday afternoon. They loved it there. This is Emily frolicking outside with the cat.
Emily was sweet to hold little Kalina. She kept trying to make the same faces as Kalina. I love both of their great big blue eyes.
I think they kind of look alike in this picture above.
Anthony and Benj were nice to play Masterpiece with Emily and Joe .
I made plum ice cream
I know this picture is from September, but I didn’t just want to post it by its self. This is me at the fair eating a turkey leg. I just had to have one because I had this memory of eating one at DisneyLand when I was little. It was way too big and it started to get old pretty fast, but it was still fun. I felt a little bit silly walking around gnawing and this huge hunk of meat.
Summer was just too short. We loved our stay in Moscow! We are happy to be in Pocatello now, but we really do miss the little town up North. I thought I would post a few things that we loved about Moscow (in no particular order).
Benjamin finished up his internship at U of I in Moscow. He really enjoyed his work and the people in his lab. Here a a couple of pictures of the Research Conference, at which he presented a poster of his findings.
The interns from BYU-I
We went back to Rexburg for a week to see my brother who was on leave from the army and to go to the Romney and Nissen reunions. It was a busy week, but we had so much fun!!! 
Em and Me at the Fourth of July Parade 
Craft night with the Romney sisters! I made some really cute button earrings. 
Yay for nieces and nephews! 
Autumn on my lap swinging spider style.
Nieces and Nephews engaged in a story that Grandma Kaye is telling. They look kind of like zombies.
I helped the nieces and Nephews put on a play of the Three Little Pigs. They were so cute! This is my crazy husband about to go down the slide on his stomach, head first. I was worried about him hurting his back or scraping up his belly. Sorry I am yelling kind of loud. You might have to turn the volume down on this one. I just couldn’t resist putting on though and you will see why when he finally goes down. It is hilarious.
Last night we had such an interesting experience. It was almost funny, almost surreal. We decided to go to a show in the park: Valentine’s Performing Pigs. We met Lydia and the kids there and stood among the masses of people who had come to see the pigs doing tricks.
We could barely see the pigs as they did their little tricks and soon it started to rain. It was pouring by the end of the show. The funny announcer lady( she must have been Mrs. Valentine) said that the kids could come up and pet “oinky,” one of the pigs. So I hurried up to the front with Amberlee and Autumn and about two minutes later the announcer lady said “Its raining to hard. We are putting the pig back in the van.” The whole thing was hilarious. There we were standing in the pouring rain to see a few pigs ride on skateboards and push buttons and pop balloons. We were all soaking wet and the girls were quite disappointed they didn’t get to pet the pig. Quite a funny site. We went back to Lydia’s for hot chocolate.
