Trying to find safety pin (or seguro in Spanish) in rice

The kiddos were invited but kicked out to play in the bounce house :)

I was so loved that she even made me cake pops! Yummy!

We played other fun games too like the tolite paper game. Where you guess how many squares wide your mom is. It was funny Courtney my friend was about a month behind and just measure her belly it was super close if not right on to my measurement LOL!

The they played the dirty diper game. Every one got a diaper and the one with a poop smear in it won!

There was guys there too they BBQ and then came in. It was soo hot that day in the 100's. They set up a table and played apples to apples.
It was so much fun, thanks to my amazing sister for making it a fabulous day!!
 

The Librarian Magician - 27 June



During the summer the library puts on show. It's really fun and we go to the see them. This is one of the shows we the feature a magician. He's is really neat just full of personality and charter! A really fun guy and just captures he kids, really funny too!
 
The girls were lucky enough to get chosen to help in some of his tricks!
 
 
 In Bella trick he had several kids come up and hold up pictures, then asked an adult to slowly remove pictures one at a time at random. And of course at the end he had a manila envelope with the picture she chose very neat!

Then he ended his show by making a white rabbit appear  and promoting reading books from the library!
a very cool show!



Owen's dental Journeys - 20 June

Owen ended up with 6 cavities so to get him fixed we had try first the laughing gas approach.
His dentist is pretty fun, very kid friendly.
 
Here is enjoying the train table before hey get him ready to gas him

 
I had expressed my concerns to the doctor that this was not going to work and he would need to go under, but he assured me it would work. Guess what didn't work surprise surprise!! I was actually kind of mad. I knew it wouldn't and It was a waste of time grr! He said this happens to ONE in every thousand! My son was literally a little superman because the gas would not relax him enough. The bright side I didn't have to pay for this failure attempt. 
and of course as soon as we get home he knocks out. Poor kiddo ;)
