Tuesday we had a fun and windy morning at the park with some neighbors. We ate a picnic lunch there then we dropped Ben off at his first day of (2nd year) Preschool at Adelaide Elementary! He was so excited! Everything was going just fine until I asked him if he wanted a drink from the drinking fountain before we went in the classroom. Well, he stuck his head next to the sprayer before pushing the button and therefore was quite surprised that the water came out so fast and hard that it sprayed over his face and hit the side of his head. AND, his response wasn't the fastest so he got pretty wet. Not a great way to start the preschool experience. Thankfully, he stayed fairly calm and only cried a little. I love Anna hugging him goodbye in the bottom left picture. I'm also so glad that Ben has his friend Taggart in the class with him!
Tuesday night Bethany slept through the night!! To celebrate, here's a picture of another night's
middle-of-the-night feeding. :)

Wednesday we ran errands in the morning and I attended Ben's music class with him in the evening.
Had to document one of Bethany's favorite snuggle positions.
All of my kids have pretty expressive eyebrows.

Thursday we went to Grandma's house to can some peaches with Aunt Brynn and Sarah Jane. The peaches were from the tree at Mantua.
In the evening, we came back to Grandma's house to watch the Utah Game. Aunt Lara made sure our kids were fully decked out in Ute gear.
(Dan was "allowed" to put the Ute magnet back on our garage. I tell him it can only be on there during football season. Ben was pretty excited to pose and flash his "U.")
Friday, Dan had an interview on the radio to talk about Foster Care. He did a fabulous job! Ben had a playdate at a friend's house that morning.
We also started seeing some cute smiles out of this one!

That evening Dan took McKenna and Ben on our Ward campout to Hobblecreek Canyon. Dan was unfortunately coming down with a nasty cold and hardly slept, but made the best of it. The kids, on the other hand, had a blast and Dan said he really only saw and "parented" them at meal times. Dan's parents and Sam and Lara went as well and provided a trailer for all the Websters to sleep in!

I stayed home with the little girls and enjoyed dinner out with my mom and dad and sister. My dad finally felt that he had his health issues sorted out enough that he could return to Chile (the next morning). Such a great yawn picture!
Friday night, while poor Dan was feeling miserable and sleeping terribly at the campout, Bethany was a dear and slept through the night again!!
Saturday morning I went grocery shopping and Dan and the kids got back from the camp out around 4pm. We gave all the kids baths and then my mom came to babysit. Dan and I went on a date with our friends, Ryan and Bethany Spencer. Dan has known these two since high school. They live in Bountiful but we rarely get together. Time for that to change! We had a blast just sitting and talking for about 3 hours at the restaurant, ffollowed by treats at Ugurt.

Sunday after church we headed up to Mantua to spend the night and play up there for Labor Day.
The kids enjoyed cookies after dinner and Aunt Swa read them a nice bedtime story.
We tried letting the kids have a sleepover. It didn't work out so hot for the girls... too much talking and playing so they had to be separated.
After the kids were in bed the grown ups played games and ate too much candy.
Monday Labor Day all of the grown-up boys went golfing except Dan (still recuperating from the previous few days). The girls did a little exercising, picking peaches, and weeding. Then we had lunch and went swimming!!
Dan and Ben playing checkers is always a Mantua tradition.

We left at 4:30 then went straight to the Nelson Family Birthday Party for the month of September at the Lowder's home.
