Miller riding his bike on his own. Still figuring out those pedals, but not bad for a 2 1/2 year old.

Perks of the Midwest
We were finally able to go to the Benton County Fair tonight since it stopped raining. We saw animals, ate yummy food, rode ponies and rides. Ella is a big roller coaster fan, always screaming and throwing her arms in the air. Miller has always shied away from them, but participated tonight. He was literally expressionless and we had to pry his hands off the bar, but he claims he had fun.

Oh Man!
Our response when the dentist told us that Ella had a yuck yuck between her right bottom molars on her xray. She does such a good job brushing and not eating before bed. It is simply a flossing issue because it is between the teeth, and those teeth are moving closer together. Never in a million years did I think a toddler could get a cavity from not flossing. She will get her fillings in 2 weeks and we are going to be flossing and fluoriding like crazy around here to prevent anymore! Miller had a great exam, but didn't get any xrays. We won't be waiting to get those to start flossing him. In fact, I may start flossing Brooksy's teeth the minute they come in just to be sure.

Brooks' 4 Month Stats
The same day Miller got his staple Brooks got his 4 month shots. His physical was unremarkable and they commented on what a happy boy he was. And much to my surprise, they informed me he would keep his blue eyes. He weighs 14lb 3oz(40%) and is 26 1/4 inches tall (90%). He has become quite a talker, squealer, and laugher..mostly at his siblings!

That's gonna hurt in the morning
Mommy & Daddy got the call from school that no parent wants to get: Miller had fallen on the playground and had a gash in his head that would require stitches. Daddy picked him up with gum, motrin, and a sucker in tow to take him to the ER. They attempted 5 staples, but only one stayed in. Miller was very brave and a very good boy without any anesthetic. When you ask him what happened at the hospital, he says, 'click', because that's all he heard when they put the staples in.

Miller's 1st Day of School
Miller & Ella started Mom's Day Out today, they were both very excited to go to their new classrooms with their new teachers. They wanted to take a picture with Brooks. Ella will go in the mornings to Mom's Day Out and then to Preschool in the afternoons. They both did really good at the drop off...nobody cried and everyone had a smile on their face. I hope it's the same all year long.

Happy Labor Day
Jason started the day running the 5K in the Run 4 a Child. We met up with him after the race and the kids played in the bouncy area. We had our annual picnic to celebrate our engagement. This year we decided to celebrate in the backyard under our new patio. We truly enjoyed our 3 day weekend and the beautiful weather that came with it.

Just Hook Them Up To An IV
S'More Soup
While I was baking Ella wanted to create something of her own. She was so excited to have daddy try it when he got home. I knew she would be devastated if he didn't eat it, so told her to limit it to 4 ingredients. She decided on marshmallows, chocolate chips, crumbled graham crackers, and peanut butter...her favorite part was very dramatically taking the lid off to display her masterpiece.
Celebrating Daddy
Last weekend the Target team threw Jason a 'going away' party, since he will be moving to a different area, although still working with them. They laid out this huge slide on the hill and soaped it up to make it very slippery. I think the adults had way more fun than the kids on this one. Thank you!
