OUCH!! The dentist!

Before school started Sawyer and I went to the dentist to have our annual cleaning. Sawyer is a very difficult child to get to brush his teeth, so he ended up with four cavities and two teeth that needed to be pulled. One was infected and the other needed to come out for the new one to come in and to make some room in his mouth.

The dentist office wanted us to schedule all of this in 4 different appointments.

I had the hardest time getting him into the office, he was crying and throwing himself on the ground and trying to run away! (Yes very embarrassing)

I asked if they could just do all of his work that day because I didn't think I could get him to come back three more times.

So, we left the office with one very numb mouth and with two holes in his mouth!!

What a traumatic day for both of us!!

Needless to say Sawyer will now brush his teeth with one prompting from me.

First Day of School

Sawyer started school on August 18th. He is back at Ameila Earhart where he went to Kindergarten. This year his teacher is Mrs. Robbins. She is very cute and seem to be a good teacher. He got to pick out his own "packpack"(as he calls it) and of course chose the ugliest one HULK!

He said the best thing about school is the lunch and recess(sounds like a boy!)

Maycee's Birthday Party

Maycee turned 11 on August 27th and we had a little family get together for her at our house.

Rob says he doesn't feel old enough to have a eleven year old. I told him that she will be an teenager in five years!!
Maycee got some really good presents, mostly money so she can pick her own gifts out. Dad and Teresa gave her a new bike and clothes.
Maycee and her cousins, Quincey and Brielle
Maycee's two cousins just adore her and want to be around her constantly!

The Best Day Boating!!

I CLEARED THE WAKE!!! FINALLY AFTER TRYING ALL SUMMER.

Rob was probably just as excited as I was. It was such a great feeling to be so high up and then to come down on the opposite side and land it perfectly!!

Rob informed me I am the first girl to clear the wake of his boat!!

We have been boating a lot this summer and it has been great.

Rob has taught me to drive the boat and so I can drive while he boards.

We have it down to a routine, I pack the boat, have everyone ready to go,hook the boat up to the truck , and Rob comes home from work and we go. He launches the boat while I park the truck and trail and we are set to boat for the night.

Sawyer is the best helper with the baby and flagger! His job is to inform the driver if one of us wrecks and he gets to hold the flag.

I must say I'm quite impressed with my backing of a trail skills!

Day at Lagoon

We decided to take Sawyer to Lagoon. I haven't been in almost ten years and Sawyer has never been. We had alot of fun riding all the new rides.
These water falls were a great hit with the kids and it sure kept them cool.

Sawyer isn't to fond of the big rollercosters so while Rob and I rode them Sawyer went with his uncle and cousins to ride the kid rides!(He could care less he loves those rides)

Cereal and a mess!

Last week we tried rice cereal for the first time and it didn't go so well. Taytem would shiver from the taste, spit it out and put her fingers in her mouth with it.
Needless to say we both need baths when we were done!

Pierced Ears

We had been talking about piercing Taytem's ears since she was born and we finally did it. Right after her 4month check up we headed to the mall and had it done.
She cried only because I had to hold her head still while they pierced her ears and the second I let go she was fine. So far so good they haven't' bothered her at all.
