Well, Dane went to his first day of school on a Friday and then on Monday had to visit the dentist to have a tooth pulled and a crown put on a molar. This is where you might be saying we are bad parents and why aren't we brushing his teeth. Well, we do brush his teeth. It is just bad gene's from his father's side :) Then, on Tuesday Dane started running a fever. On Wednesday the fever continued and he stopped talking. On Thursday the fever continued, he still wasn't talking and I finally took him to the doctor only to find out that he had tonsillitis. At that point I felt like a really good mom and nurse for waiting so long to take him into the doctor. Ha! After a weekend of antibiotics Dane was back to his old self and ready to go back to school for his second day one week late.
Our first visit from the tooth fairy
First day
At the last minute Dustin and I decided NOT to send Dane to kindergarten this year. He has a late July birthday and we thought it would be best in the long run to do another year of preschool. So, 3 days before school started I was scrambling to get him into a preschool. Luckly, there were openings for the school we wanted. Whew! And as a bonus Dane and his best bud Daniel are in the same class. It has been great to carpool with Daniel too! Dustin and I are so glad we made the switch. Dane absolutely LOVES school and can't wait to go every single day. We even had a little back to school party for him. He got to choose what to have for dinner, drink, and dessert. We made it special with balloons and grandparents. It was all about him.
Where's Dustin?
For a long time now I have asked Dustin to get me some pictures of his new hobby/lifestyle to put on the blog. Since he never remembers to take pictures I found these on a website of one of their races. Now we can all see what he has been up to all those nights and weekends he has spent away from home. He and Brandon are doing very well as a team their first year racing. They have taken 1st and 3rd in two of the races and are hoping to get the Rookie of the Year award. Way to go Honey! We are so proud of you. However, we can't wait for race season to take a break so we can have you all to ourselves again :)
Tennis, Baseball, Museums...Oh, my!

Don't we look like a force to be reckoned with! Go team MONAVIE!
Kristen and Rosie on our warm-up run.
Well, we have a gold medalist on our team. Kristen one first place in her age group in the Athena category. Now, the Athena team is for women who weigh more than 150 lbs. But if you look at Kristen or know her she is hardly fat. She is made of pure muscle and she can kick some butt. Way to go Kristen!
Friend Matt also one first place in his age group in the clydesdale category. His cute wife Jennette wasn't there because she was running in the Hobble Creek Half Marathon that day. Way to go Matt and Jennette!Boys 3 Girls 1
My SISTER Meg had a baby BOY yesterday. Congratulations to the PROUD parents and big SISTER! Can't wait to meet baby.The Twins are Here!
This post it a couple of weeks late but I was waiting to have a picture of Jared and Angie's new baby boys. Jack (left) and Andrew were born on August 1st at 36 week. Jack weighed 3 lbs 15 oz and Andrew was 5 lbs 8 oz. Jack spent one week in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit to work on keeping his temperature up by himself and eating. They are sooo cute and fun to hold. Jack looks like Jared and and Andrew looks like Angie. We are so happy for the proud parents! Love you Bud, Ang, Jack-Jack and Drew-Drew
