3rd times a charm?

Collin got his 3rd set of tubes today. These are suppose to be bigger and tougher . Hopefully they will stay in . Collin was pretty funny once the happy juice kicked in. He was grinning at us and laughing. The surgery was fast only lasting 15 minutes or so and we were on the way home alittle after 8 am. Here is a picture of him before surgery and with the nurses heading into the OR.

Another ENT trip

The penny is to compare size


Last night after Parker showered I told him to make sure to clean his ears . I am a clean freak and like ears to be clean , nails trimmed ,teeth brushed and so on. My kids are completely used to my high (crazy to some) hygiene demands and they know to report back so I can make sure they did a good enough job.

So last night Parker comes to me to check his teeth,ears and such. And I noticed something inside his ear. I got out my flashlight for a better look. And there was a BLUE object in his ear!

I asked without freaking out if he put something in his ear. He said he didn't but a boy at school did. I asked for more details.It seems that a kid in his class threw a piece of chewed on eraser down into Parker's ear while he had his head on his desk on Tuesday. Parker said it felt weird but he had forgotten about it till then.

Brian and I tried to get it out but couldn't so it was off to the ENT today. It took several tries but the Dr. was able to get it out in one piece. The doctor got a good laugh out of it and Parker got a day off school. I did call his teacher to inform her about this and asked her to move Parker away from this kid and to speak with him about it. She assured me it will be handled.

We all scream for Ice Cream

Here is Collin enjoying his very own ice cream cone. Collin's 2nd birthday is fast approaching in September . He talks alot these days and he will repeats just about everything. Collin calls the other kids their whole names like Macy Moon, Molly Moon, Parker Moon , Logan Moon. It's really funny. Collin now sleeps in a twin size bed and he made the transition so well. We are a few months out from potty training too. Amazing how time flies.

Parker the Ladies Man

We celebrated Parker's 6th birthday with a bowling party with friends and family. He was so happy to show off his new bowling ball to his best girl pal Erin. It is cute to see him being so nice to her and letting her boss him around. Parker is thrilled that Erin is in his 1st grade class and she will be cheering for his football team this year.

Molly Jo Jo

Molly is in the 2nd grade this year. The picture above was take on a Girl Scout Troop tour of the vet's office. Molly adores animals and it was so neat how the doctor picked Molly out of the group to be her helper. Molly's job was to pet the dog while the other girls took turns listening to her heart. When we left the vet Molly was so thrilled and proclaimed that she is defiantly going to be a vet!

Macy at 10

Macy turned 10 in July. She is in the 5th grade this year and she is loving having a locker and changing classes for the first time. For her birthday we had a pottery painting party at a local studio. It was alot of fun and the end result of their trinket boxes were so cute. She is on the cheer leading squad for Logan's football team and she is still active in Girl Scouts.

Latest on Logan

Here is a picture of Logan before his braces , after his braces and playing his new band instrument the trombone. Logan is in the 6th grade this year and decided to take Beginner Band for his elective. He is also playing football again and he made the first string for his team.

I will be making several post this week to update the blog. Summer time is so busy around here that I fell behind.
