Shelby is 10

-

 Shelby turned 10 years old this year and she did not want a party. She refused to invite friends over or do a traditional birthday party. She wanted to invite her cousin Kenady only to come hang out. She told me she is older now and she doesn't do little kid parties. She only wanted to go do girl stuff. So we picked up Kenady and the three of us went to the movie theaters and watched a movie together. The girls got a lot of food and the movie was A House With A Clock In Its Walls. Guess what.....the girls were scared to death. They hated the movie. They were freaking out the entire time and couldn't wait to get out of there. They talked about how creepy it was and how they were going to have nightmares the entire night. We went to get ice cream afterwards and go shopping for Shelby. When we got home she got to open presents and Kenady stayed the night. The next morning we went back to the movies and watched another one. Really because they were so scared after the first movie, I had to get something nicer in their minds and have a better birthday experience. So we saw a movie Yeti about some snow animal that was almost killed by humans but then makes friends with them and saves the world. The girls loved it and her birthday was redeemed. Kind of sad she didn't want a full party this year, but I want to do what she wants and make sure she is happy. This year at school she didn't connect with friends and felt pretty isolated. She had some hard times and it was good to see her happy and smiling with her cousin.

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

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
