I coach gymnastics for 2 hours on Monday evenings while my kids are in their own gymnastic classes and Beck is in break dancing. Last Monday was my first time. Violet cried in the babysitting room (there at the gym) for a long time. It was rough. 

They decided that I need to bring a bottle of pumped breast milk and maybe it will help keep her calmer. So I wanted to be the first one to give her a bottle. Today was that day. It's always a little emotional for me. 

Fall and football season are upon us and I could watch Beck ply football all day long! He has improved so much from last year and really loves it. He plays safety and protects the outside really well!

Adams County Fair in Othello is my favorite because of the free muttin bustin! My favorite! Paisley may have been forced to go... 

Baby Remington went willingly and so fast! 

Beck had a blast and couldn't wait to go and got stepped on and also took the sheep down to the ground. 

Uncle Bubba has been visiting for the week until he moves to Washington DC. We will miss him soooo much!  

Paisley got her cotton candy reward. Her most favorite thing ever! 

Penelope was also given cotton candy even though she wasn't forced to ride a sheep. 

Violet was a cutie trooper at her first Fair! 

And Beck had to have his turkey leg! Remington and Penelope finished it off for him. 

I don't take many pictures of myself because well, I guess that that would be vain. Haha! But I got my hair trimmed and decided it was time to document what I look like at this stage of my life, other than the yearly family pictures. 

I also stubbed my toe a few days ago and let out a string of mumbled profanities as my eyes flashed black and this is the outcome. Eek. It's raining and fall is coming and due to this toe I am wearing flip flops! 

Writing my blog posts sitting in the parent pick up line at the kids' school. Beck is riding the bus to neighbor kids house so he can get a ride to football practice because today is my first day back coaching gymnastics since Violet was born. And I'm sad because she doesn't feel good and I just want to stay home and hold her. But paisley and penny have gymnastics during this time, so I would be there anyways waiting for them. Beck will also have break dancing during this time once football is over. 

Remington has discovered that when he bites Violet she lets out a really sad piercing scream and he likes the reaction I guess. Sad. So sad. He got her right above her belly button yesterday. I guess it's his retaliation for all the times that Penelope bit him when he was a baby. 

Beck now sits in the seat between Remington and Violet. He has turned into a great helper when Violet needs something and I am driving. It is teaching his patience for one thing! Love these sibling moments!
