The rest of our time in Visalia was great.  The kids and I went to see a movie, we went swimming at her neighbor's house. We played with more frogs and at more parks.

It turns out Seth had a buckle or green-stick fracture in his wrist. So it'll just heal on it's own.  It sounds like they probably would have cast it if they'd seen it, but that would just have made it so it didn't hurt, not made a big difference in the healing.  So they'll just continue to let it heal on it's own.  He's a tough little boy because he really never complains about it, unless someone grabs and pulls on his wrist.

Bob is such a great husband.  I love him so much.  He is so kind and helpful and he supports me in whatever ways I need. I can't wait to go on our cruise together.  It'll be so nice to have him to myself for a whole week!

I'm in Visalia now.  School got out Thursday and we left that afternoon.  I love it! We went to the waterslides in Fresno on Friday.  The kids all loved it. Yesterday we did a little shopping and went out to dinner for an early Father's day.  Kristal is here too this weekend.  There was a little drama because Ryan and Venessa wanted to come too, but I asked that they didn't because I wanted to hang out with my mom and not have it be a big party.  It's nice to just have my mom's attention sometimes and not have to fight for space.  The frogs are out here and we've gone to play with them both mornings so far. Also, I got a gel manicure set before we came so we've been doing manicures and pedicures all over the place.

Rachel ended up having strep throat last week.  But she's doing better now with medicine.  And Seth is still having trouble with his wrist from a month ago when he fell off the bunk bed ladder.  So I took him in to get it re-x-rayed. We're waiting to hear back with the results.

The weather is great here.  We'll probably do a little more shopping.  Maybe go see a movie.  And Rachel is getting her ears pierced.  And then we'll just hang out and go to some parks and things like that.  We'll leave on Wednesday.

I'm home from church today with four "sick" kids.  Seth was the reason I stayed home.  Ruby got a stomach bug from nursery last week.  Then passed it to Seth.  He's doing really well today, but yesterday he was pretty down and Ruby got it from someone bringing their kid to nursery who wasn't quite better so we didn't want to do that to anyone else.  And Ruby might as well stay home if I am.  Then Danny and Rachel had a couple late nights and lots of time in the sun this weekend and I think they were just run down so they wanted to stay home too. They have to take it easy and read 5 Friend articles and their scriptures.  So just Bob and Aaron went to church today.

I had my double root canal this week.  It turned out that both my teeth on either side of my bridge have died from the trauma of putting on the bridge.  That dentist was not good for me.  He cracked a tooth's root and had to pull it and killed two other teeth.  I just hope this solves it and I can have a few years off from teeth problems for a while. 

And my eyes still aren't doing very well.  I can't wear my contacts at all still and get such bad headaches.  I've been on restasis almost a month now and the doctor said it should take 4-6 weeks for it to start taking affect. I really hope my health can get back to normal soon.  I'm fasting about it today.

Danny and Rachel had their awards ceremonies this week at school.  Rachel got A honor roll and Danny got A/B honor roll.  I'm proud that they've worked hard this year.

I did a few sewing projects yesterday. It's going to be nice to have more self-sufficient kids.
