Beach weekend

-
Last weekend I decided to pack up with kids and head to Bella Beach between Depot Bay and Lincoln City Oregon. Caleb was out of town doing continuing education in Colorado. Rhoda and her whole family went with me and we rented an adorable house.


Ronin hates the sand. He wouldn't stand on it or play with it. He wore shoes most of the time and was fine unless he fell and got it on his hands. He took a nap for over an hour laying on a pile of blankets and my beach mat. He was a trooper other than that and had a great time. At the marine center he wanted to touch everything! So I don't know why the beach wasn't his thing.



Calvin learned how to throw a Frisbee and he did really well. He has been obsessed with football lately but this was much easier for him to learn. If he would keep his eyes open, it would go a little better on the catching part. He also is in love with board games. We have been playing Sleeping Queens, Uno, Sorry, and he's trying to get us to teach him Monopoly.



Shelby was her usual self at the beach and was quite at home. She gets sand in every part of her body imaginable. She stays up later than everyone else talking and reading books. She pretends to be mermaids, queens, dragons, and everything else under the sun.

Calvin had a bad day

I got a call at work from Krista, the lady who watches my kids. She said Calvin fell and hit his lip and probably needed stitches. I picked up my purse and ran out of work as quick as I could. I was on hold for 15 minutes trying to reach his doctor, which was aggravating. But once they answered I was at Krista's door and could see what was going on. Calvin was playing in a bedroom, tripped, and fell onto the frame of the bunkbed. Which is metal by the way. The sharp edge of it too. Poor kid always falls, but usually it's the forehead that gets the brunt of it. This time it was his lip. The upper part of his gums really. You can see most of the cut here: We finally reached his doctor and took him in. They didn't give him stitches even though it was still bleeding. It's been 8 hours now and it still bleeds when he talks, eats or drinks anything. It has not stopped him from doing his sound effects for cars and trucks so he spits blood everywhere. Of course, I wore

June was the craziest month I have had in a long time. I am soooo glad it's July! Caleb almost didn't graduate on time and had to pay for summer term. He had one crown that he had to do twice because the lab kept messing it up. The school finally notified us three weeks after graduation that he was OK to graduate and could come checkout. We found out Caleb didn't pass his boards completely and now gets to fly down to California in August to re-do part of it. He has to fly two different patients down too with him, once he finds them. Hopefully he can find one patient that needs both procedures to help save costs. His job in Eugene didn't workout since he didn't pass his boards. They needed someone to start immediately, so they gave it to someone else. The company, Capital Dental, still considers him employed and is keeping his contract. So he still has work, we just have no idea where it will be right now. Hopefully it will be somewhere close to this house we j

Thanksgiving 2022

We came back to Sunriver with the Bingham's again for Thanksgiving weekend. This year we even convinced the Olsen's to join us. We got a sick house that fit us all perfectly. The weather was cold but sunny so we went for walks every day. It was too cold for bike rides. We did the typical Sunriver activities including eating a ton of food, playing games, and watching football all day. The kids went to K1 racing and raced go karts, which is a new favorite activity. Even Shelby loves it and it's hard to find activities she wants to do with us like that. I think we will definitely keep coming back each year as long as we can.
