David was nominated to represent the junior dental class in an eating contest. They held it at a really yummy bbq place in Council Bluffs that we'd never heard of before, but we are sure going back because the food was Great! (Although David understandably wouldn't care to go back any time tooo soon . . . ) David placed 2nd out of 6 guys by only 3 ounces--that's my man!!


One day I noticed Mason had what looked like a small bug bite on his wrist. A few hours later, when I was giving him a bath, I noticed a whole lot more "bug bites" covering his knees, stomach, arms, and a few on his neck. At first, I thought we had bed bugs (since there is a bed bug epidemic going through town) and it wigged me out. Poor guy. But David insisted on taking Mason to the doctor just to be sure, and they told us it was probably an allergic reaction to penicillin. As soon as they said it, I knew that was what it was, since he had been on penicillin from an ear infection. So Mason is allergic to penicillin, just like his aunt Marissa and Grandpa Yates.







A few of us girls took some pictures of our kids--these were by my friend Erica. Aren't they so fun? He's getting so big!
