Wrapping Up Summer and Hello Fall

Randy and the kids at the BYU vs. University of Washington football game. They were a divided team. The girls had "W"'s on their cheeks just in case they ran into Randy's students to show they were still for the "U-Dub".

Last days of summer - playing bolo ball at Pacific Beach.

thought this old, weather worn pier with new growth was an interesting contrast against the steely northwest sky.

Randy and his sisters in Nauvoo (the picture looks a little Brigham Youngish - 1 man, many women). Madalyn loves her cousins - Marlie and Lauren she misses you! Come visit.

For being a political science major, I feel "way out there" and disconnected. I was a little inspired for a while following the national conventions though the Republicans GOP (Grand Old Party, I actually totally forgot what the acronym stood for and Randy had to remind me, ouch - see what I mean by being "spacey") and the Democrats are still up to their GOP - good old politics. Help, I am turning into a cynical independent!

Halloween 2007

Trick or Treat! Already ate my early stash of Halloween candy - now waiting until the 30th to buy more. As far as costumes go we are only 20% finalized, Makenzy will be a ladybug and the rest are still in the design process.

I just started the Brusik Brag (brusikbrag.blogspot.com) for my family and it has been fabulous. I love my family so much and being away from them is harder than I thought. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Yet, I decided to do a little on line journaling, commentating, monloguing, rambling just about my little family that Randy and I have (the one I told him we probably wouldn't have for a long time following our marriage because I was going to wait to have kids - hah, five kids later the joke is on me!)
