Daddy's 1/2 Marathon/Visit to Grandma's

A few weeks ago, Daddy ran in the Fargo Half Marathon, so we all took a day off and went up there to cheer him on.  We also got to visit both sets of Grandparents while we were there, so it was a bonus trip :)  Noah and Mommy joined Grandma and Grandpa Owens up in Fargo to cheer daddy on (we had to leave at 6am, very early!) and Elliot stayed back and hung out at Uncle Travis and Auntie Jenny's house for the morning.  It was a crappy day (humid and rainy) but good weather for running.  After the race we all ate breakfast at Perkins, then mommy and daddy headed back to Breckenridge to pick up Elliot while Noah spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Owens shopping in Fargo.

Memorial Day Weekend 2013

For Memorial Day this year, we once again met up with Uncle Travis, Auntie Jenny and all of our cousins at the Venetian Water Park in Maple Grove.  We of course had to make a pit stop at Urgent Care first though, because it just wouldn't be a holiday weekend without one :)  Elliot had a bad ear infection, but got some medicine to help him feel better so he could have a fun time also.  The doctor said that Elliot had to stay away from water, but we bought some ear plugs so he could join in the water park activities.  We all had a great time, and were very tired when the weekend was over.  We can't wait to go back again next year!

"Quick" visit to Urgent Care (2 plus hours
waiting time, but it was worth it)

Noah's First Dentist Visit

My mom and dad kept telling me that I had to goto the dentist, but I thought maybe I could put it off a little bit longer.  I guess my time was up because I had to go the other morning before going to Shelli's.  My fears were not neccessary, because the visit wasn't that bad!  Mommy told me on the way that she would hold my hand, but I told her I didn't want her to (I'm a big boy afterall, I can handle this).  The hygenist gave me a ride in her 'rocket ship' (chair), let me put water in my mouth and spit it out into the air thing (that was my favorite), take my picture with the mouth camera and see it on the screen, and pick out a toy from the treasure chest when I was done.  I even got a big bag full of fun tools to help me keep my teeth clean.  I didn't have any cavities, and the dentist said my teeth looked great!  I can't wait to go back again in 6 months :) 

A little nervous toget started

This x-ay cape is heavy!
