ER visits and pictures...oh my!

Saturday was a great day.  

Stuart and I canned approximately 13 quarts of peaches and I made 7 half pints of peach jam.

Then I went to see the Help with some of the ladies and Stuart and some of the guys watched all the kids (bless them!) at our house so we could go.

We got home at about 11.  

Not even 5 minutes after we walked in we hear Phillip scream and come down the stairs shaking and bleeding from his mouth.  

I took him into the kitchen where it was determined that he bit through his lip.  

Thankfully for him it wasn't all the way through.  Inside his teeth only went through a little and the outside was quite a bit deeper than the inside.  The doctor decided dermabond would work provided he keeps the area dry (yeah right....it's right under his mouth).  So for right now it's glued together.  I should have taken a picture before getting it glued.  It doesn't look nearly as cool now.

This was our 2nd ER trip in a week.  About 2 1/2 weeks ago we went to the river to play.  Phillip decided it would be fun to drink the river water...I mean he CHUGGED the stuff.  Sure enough he came down with severe diarrhea the following week and as it turns out he had e-coli.  Fun huh?  Yeah not so much.  He also had an ear infection at the same time....poor kid!

As it turns out if you have e-coli you aren't supposed to take antibiotics which of course he was on for the ear infection.  Thankfully that didn't cause anymore issues!

Anyway, I finally have my camera with me and so I'm going to give you the Mobley family summer/beginning of school picture montage...

We petted goats at the zoo...and looked cute while doing it.

We hung out with cousins (Annie Mobley, KatieJo, Katherine Crumpley....all age 9)

We joined everyone else's act in the family talent show...but only if your name is Maija.

Turned 8, got a new suit and looks 100% handsome!

Got baptized with all but 4 of the Mobley family clan in attendance (I think that set a record).

enjoyed another 4 year-old boy to hang out with....what makes it better is that they are cousins and only 2 weeks apart.

I made another wedding cake with collaboration of some friends.

Started 4th grade and the other 2 were excited to walk them to school!

Followed the 4th graders to school......

even if they said it wasn't "cool".  KatieJo was smart and stayed behind the camera woman.
