Ben's latest Lego creation: Dumbledor's office from Harry Potter. It's unreal how much time this boy (and his father) spent building this monster
Thursday I went for a 2 mile run. I babysat Clara and met with the ward camp director and later the YW Presidency to discuss everyone's desires for camp next Summer.
Then later that day Anna's back-to-school cold had taken a turn for the worse. She was coughing almost constantly even when she was resting on the couch. I decided to cancel my plans for the evening, which was to go with Dan to the Utah game. Instead, I took Anna to the doctor. So the Utah ticket wouldn't go to waste, Dan took Ben! I'm sure Ben had a better time than I would have. ;) As it turns out, at the doctor's, Anna's blood oxygen level was between 85-90, when it should be above 90+. The doc decided to give her an albuterol treatment which definitely helped. He also gave her a steroid and an inhaler prescription for at home. I've been wondering for about a year now if she has some form of asthma. She's still quite young for an official diagnosis, but basically the doctor said if she responds positively to the albuterol, she most likely has some degree of asthma.
As it turns out, Ben did have a blast at the game and was basically the mascot of the game for all the Webster family members in attendance.

Friday we had a follow-up at the doc for Anna and her blood oxygen level was much higher. They gave her another steroid and we were supposed to use the inhaler every 4-6 hours for another day. We babysat the Winegar kids in the afternoon.
Friday night was our first family dinner at our new table!

Saturday, I ran 2 miles and Dan took McKenna on a bike ride. I did some yardwork and then I took the three older kids to see Secret Life of Pets with Mickelle and Jonathan. M and J came over to play for the rest of the afternoon.
Sunday after Dan was home from church we headed up to Mantua for the Labor Day holiday with some of Dan's family. Dan's parents did a little family home evening lesson about the gospel being preached to all nations.
We played "Head Up" after the kids when to bed.
Monday we were in charge of breakfast for everyone. We made pancakes, bacon, and clementines. We cleaned up then went for a 3.5 mile hike with our family and Swa and Whitney.
We actually took this picture at the end of the hike, but this is the beginning of the trail.
Some of the beautiful scenery. Dan started out carrying Anna and I carried Bethany. About halfway up, Bethany got pretty fussy due to being tired. I tried to re-position her, but in the end, she only calmed down when Dan took her.
He got her to sleep and for fear of waking her, I was then in charge of carrying Anna! Phew! She's 30lbs.
The kids did fairly well considering it was a pretty ambitious distance to hike. Here we are the top. We even saw a marriage proposal written in a field from up there!
We had leftovers for lunch, then Dan took Ben and McKenna out on the reservoir on the jet skis along with some other cousins and uncles. The little girls stayed back for naps, and cleaning out the garage. We had a lovely BBQ dinner, cleaned up, and left by 7:15.
Tuesday, I hosted and taught our neighborhood co-op preschool with Anna and her friends (McKayla, Desi, and Beck) for the first time. We did the letter Aa! We started with ABC and Animal puzzles.
The kids each got a turn to "pick some apples of my tree."
That evening we had soccer. Go Voltage!
Team cheer!
This week was also the week leading up to the BYU Vs. Utah football game. We hung our "House Divided" flag, but also needed to trim back our roses so the thorns wouldn't catch the flag. I had some wonderful fresh roses for the week. :)
Tuesday night while the kids were just about to head to bed, Bethany took her first steps!
*Bethany's First Steps!*
Wednesday Camille came over for a play date.

You had enough "spare" parts to build that lego thing? Or was that a kit? Some of the parts look pretty specific. Poor Anna! And the hike looks pretty amazing :)
Thank goodness for steroids and albuterol! Love your new table!
