Spokane Fair

 Me, Kaiden and Alex went for a bike ride around the lake... which means we stopped in town for some local ice cream.  Jason traveled out of town for work and the day after he left Kaiden had a testicular torsion.  We managed to get it to untwist but I took him to the ER to get an ultra sound done to make sure everything was okay.

We took Alex with us to the fair.  Connor had went with Mason the weekend prior, but he still went with us too.  We explored the animals.  The boys held alligators and snakes.  They had fun on the trampolines.  Kaiden helped announce the animal races.  We watched the Demolition Derby.  They even had a lawn mower derby.  

I went out to dinner with Rachel, Emily, Ellen and Laura.  Connor had his first day back at EWU.

flag football

Kaiden is doing an excellent job at Flag Football this year.  He's the rusher and really good at pulling the flags.  I had to laugh when the other coach kept yelling at their quarterback "He's coming! He's coming!" Because Kaiden was so fast he would pull the quarterbacks flags before he had a chance to throw the ball.

September fun

 Kaiden took Cross Country with Alex through the middle school.  But he was also taking flag football with the city rec center. Cross Country practice was 2 hours every day with races on Tuesday and Thursdays.  Flag football had practices Monday and Wednesday and games on Saturday. Both sports along with homework started to become too much, so he chose to give up Cross Country.

I took Connor and Mason to the Lego store a few times and of course they had to get some goofy stuff at Boo Radley's too.  Jason and I went to the Bill Burr Comedy show with Paul and Stephani.  Jason likes Bill Burr's comedy shows on-line, but it wasn't that great of a show.  He really didn't connect with the crowd at all.  After Connor had his wisdom teeth removed this summer the gums healed too much and actually grew over part of his teeth in the back.  So, the dentist had to do some minor surgery to removed the extra growth.  Kaiden had his yearly exam.  Kaiden had James and Alex over for a sleep over.  We all joined in a Nerf War in the backyard.  I took the boys to the bike track in town too.  The boys and I visited Grandma and Grandpa.
