I know this is an unusual title for a post, but it works. You see last Friday my children all had dentist appointments. We are trying a new dentist. The children seemed to like him. They said the staff was very nice and gentle. The good news that they all came out with no cavities.
I took these pictures with my Palm Pre phone.
As for the toe part of this post, that comes from Ashleigh. She might have broken her little pinky toe. She was helping a friend out with her horses, when one the horses step on her pinky toe. OUCH!! We called the doctor and found that we did everything that they would do. We taped her last two toes together and iced it every hour. They told us for pinky toes there isn’t much they can do. She is doing much better and her pinky toe is healing nicely. Ashleigh is just hating having to sit still until it gets better.
Last thing is tummies. I thought I would be nice and make my family cookies. What I did not know was the cookies I bought were possiblity tainted with E. Coli. I checked Nestle site and sure enough the cookie we bought and ATE (Hubby ate 20 cookies by himself.) were on the list. I called Nestle and they were very nice. They refunded us the cost of the cookies and said please let them know if we have any problems. We have not had any problems, maybe because I actually bake the cookies and no one ate the raw dough. I am thankful that no one in my family got sick.

This is the first chance I got to update my blog this week. On Wednesday, we went to Newport Beach. It was a lot fun. We did the cliff walks and rode the carousel. It was a beautiful day. The temperature was around the 70’s. We did get a little sunburn but it was not to bad.
Here a picture of the children on the cliff walks.
Ashleigh standing on a rock. It looks like it is dangerous but I can tell you she was perfectly safe. She was very far from the edge.

Apparently I am too sweet for my own good. Or something. I was just out helping my hubby bury our satellite cable in conduit and I got eaten alive! No fun!!

I’m finding that I am using the computer more and more. My Sweet Hubby has been teaching me many things. I also just got a really cool cell phone. The phone is called a Palm Pre. It can link to my computer. It is also like having a portable mini computer. The funny part was to get one of these phones, we had to get up at 6am and wait until the store opens at 8am. Here is a picture of my hubby waiting outside the store.
I was happy that my hubby insisted getting there that early because we learned later that Sprint sold out of these phones within two hours.

Last Thursday, we went to Owen Bell Park with our homeschool group. We all had a good time. The weather was nice. It is a wonderful park with basketball courts, skate park, walking paths, baseball fields, playgrounds, and a beautiful pond.

After the Slater Museum we went to a beautiful garden. The roses were breath taking and the pictures we took turn out just wonderful.

On Wednesday, we went to the Slater Museum in Norwich, Ct. It was a wonderful museum. Our tour guide told us that many of the statues are replica of the real ones found through out Europe.
Here is one the statues.
Here a picture of the girls looking at one the displays.
Here is all of us under a large tree outside the museum.

Today, I went and got a haircut. I can’t believe that I did it. The good news is I donated it to Locks of Love. This is something I have done before. It is a wonderful organization that makes wigs for children who have cancer. You must have a minimum of 10 inches of hair. I donated 12 inches.
You are probably wonderful what I mean in the title, Speedy. Speedy is a new remember of our family. I was out for a walk about three or four weeks ago, and I found Speedy trying to cross the street. She/he is a turtle. Well, the heat lamp for him to bask with, broke. It scared all of us. Poor Speedy must have thought the sun was falling down on him.

I am sorry but this has been far too long since my last post. There has been so much happening lately. I was having a hard time remembering to post about the day. Even as I type this post, it is 12:45am. It seems like every week, we have a planned activity. One activity that my hubby and I are trying to do on a regular basis is a daily bike ride. I have been slowing working my way a little further each day. I can see myself getting stronger but I have not lost any weight yet. That tells me, I am probably eating to much. To tell you the truth, I have not even really tried.
Tonight, I really enjoy attending my homeschool mom’s group. It is so wonderful being around women who want to honor God and teach their children in the way they should go. We planned a few more activities for this summer. I know my children will be very excited with the new activities. I hope I will remember the camera this time.
Tomorrow is should be an easy day. We only have a few activities. Ashleigh has her riding lesson and Jason has youth group.
I hope to post more about the activities we will be doing this week. So, my poor blog does not feel neglected.
