ER Visit

Last night I had to go visiting teaching and then to a jewelery party. I left Brady home with Ellie happily playing in the backyard. During VT I had left my phone in the car and when I got back in the car I had 10 missed calls from Brady including a text stating "i think i broke my elbow."
So I hurried home and found Brady in quite a bit of pain and Ellie happily playing with her toys.I guess he had gone out back to play with Ellie and kicked the football over the fence. He climbed up on the wall and a piece of the cinder block gave way and he fell off the cinder brick wall (6ft) onto the rock wall (8ft) and then onto the cement. Apparently Ellie was quite worried and ran right over to see how her Daddy was, but wasn't much help in going to get the phone.
Anyway we spent the next 1.5 hour at the ER. With a few x-rays on his ankle, wrist, and elbow we left with a splinted arm and a possible fracture (x-rays were inconclusive due to swelling). Ellie did really well and so did our brave patient. It should be an exciting next few days at the Flygare house.
Stay tuned our 100th post is next and you won't want to miss it!

Staheli Farm

Last weekend Brady's parents and his sister came down for a visit. We had a lot of shopping, eating, and they enjoyed the plays out at Tuacahn. Ellie loved having her grandparents here to read her stories and play with her.
When I was in Vegas a few weeks ago my brother in law brought over some great outdoor toys for the kids that he said he got at garage sells. So I thought maybe we should give it a try and for the past few Saturdays we have gone garage selling and last weekend it finally payed off. Before we have found a bike or two and some other odds and ends, but Saturday we hit the jackpot with a great jungle gym and outdoor house for Ellie. She is not to sure about them yet, but they are growing on her.For family home evening we went out to the farm with our friends the Brinkerhoffs. The kids had so much fun petting the animals and braving the slide. We also took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch (which lacked a lot of pumpkins) and went through the little corn maze. Ellie loved every minute and thought she was such a big girl playing with Halle and Lauryn. On our way back to the car we stopped to let them ride the swings. We had such a blast and loved hanging out with our friends.
Today our ward had the annual play date Halloween party. Ellie loved wearing her costume and actually kept it on the entire party. She loved dancing to the monster mash during the cake walk and playing with the dozens of balloons. We have had a lot of fun the past few weeks and can't wait for the REAL Halloween to come!!!

My mom was on a trip so my Dad had to go to the meeting, where he told them the hard life we lived with early morning seminary and all that so neither Kellie or I got into much trouble!

Broken AC, broken bones, Bunko, and a visit from CALI!

On Conference Sunday we had the back door open most of the day so Ellie could wander around outside while we listened to conference. After the late session I started to pick up the toys and do the dishes and I started to get really hot. I went and checked the temp, but it said 70, but it didn't fell anything close to that. Well, Brady went outside to check and we found ice all over the cables! Luckily, with a little space heater we were able to defrost the lines and it wasn't anything big!! I guess with the door open our AC was working over time and just froze up.On Tuesday I called my parents to see what was going on, well my Dad answered and said he had thrown his back out hunting the weekend before and that my mom was at the hospital with a possible broken wrist. My Mom has bowled every Tuesday morning for as long as a can remember (years) and I guess she slipped on the lanes and fell and ended up with a seriously broken wrist. Today she had surgery to get a plate put in and hopefully she will be back to bowling soon:)

Wednesday our group had bunko down in Moapa, so Ellie and I drove down to play and then headed to Vegas for the rest of the weekend. This year we are having themed night so last night we dressed up, it was super fun and I got to try out most of Ellie's costume!
The rest of the weekend we played with cousins, went shopping, enjoyed some great restaurants, and made sugar cookies. My sister Kim flew in from San Fran for a few days and we loved having her. She sure knows how to spoil Ellie and Ryker.

Play Dates!!

Ellie and I went to Vegas this week, while Brady had a conference in SLC. We went down on Sunday and spent most of the week watching and playing with Ryker. These 2 are getting along much better, except for the occasionally love tackle from Ryker. So here is how we spent the week....

Birthday Celebration

Last Friday was Brady's birthday. We got up and opened presents before he went to work. Ellie was a great help ripping the paper off the packages and showed interest in each gift. Brady got a BYU foootball book and DVD and some much needed NEW work clothes.
That afternoon we went to lunch at Olive Garden with a few of his co-workers. The lunch was a little long and Ellie was going crazy for the last little while, so we had to make an early departure.
For dinner we had birthday cake with peanut butter frosting (thanks Harmon's) it was delicious. As you can see Ellie and her Daddy loved it!!Here is another cute pic of Ellie and her dad watching TV. I love her little chubby tummy!!
