after all that, we just went to hang out at jeff’s nana’s  house for a couple hours. 

Later thet afternoon, jeff’s nana & papa watched the kids for us while we went out for a couple hours. 

Jeff took me out to a movie. but, beforehand, we went to grab a bite to eat at the Pita Pit.  we shared a chicken ceaser pita.  YUMMY!!

the movie we saw was WALL STREET. 

pretty good movie.

tucson

 

i never posted about our trip to tucson.  we went up to tucson for a few days before we had to move.  we came back the day we were supposed to get our keys.

my mom had a teacher conference in tucson july 17-21.  Well, usually her & her friend, julie, share a room. but since julie was going to have her husband come up for a day or two, they booked two rooms.  so, mom invited us to come hang out for the weekend.

we drove up friday night and came back tuesday morning. 

mom did have classes most of the time we were there, which was a bummer.   but it was nice to just hang out in the hotel and go swimming and just relax a bit.

the MOST WONDERFUL part of our hotel room was the GIGAANTIC bathtub.

it rained the day after we got there.  anyway, the lightning struck a cactus in the hotel parking lot and broke it into a couple pieces.  so, they blocked off the area and had to cut it down the next day .

here is a picture of where the cactus used to be. in the center of those rocks.

the morning that we left, i had to stop here to get a drink.

luke had so much fun being at a hotel.  he did not want to leave.  he asked when we got back home, if we could go back to the hotel.  this is him when we got in the car to go home.

blue bag

 

last tuesday night, tanner spent the night at our house so we could take him to school on wednesday.  wednesday morning, i got tanner up at 7 to shower and get ready, jeff made us some delicious breakfast sandwiches. i made tanner a sack lunch with his name on it.  our plan was to drop tanner off at school on our way to luke’s swim lesson. 

well, come time to go, luke saw that tanner had a blue bag.  he wanted one, too.  so, i put some snacks in a bag for luke and gave it to him.  that wasn’t enough, he wanted his name on it, too.

SUCH A COPYCAT!!

stitches

a week and a half ago, luke fell and hit his eyebrow on a box and split it open.  we took him to mendy’s place (a pediatric e.r.).  an hour and a half and four stitches later, we were on our way home.

to numb your wound now, they have a really cold liquid (i forget what it is called) that they put on a cotton ball and secure to the area for at least 20 minutes.

* sorry, i forgot to take before and after shots of his eyebrow.

** am i the only mom that has a hard time watching something happen to their child knowing you can’t do anything about it or take their pain away?

  let me explain…  the lower half of the eyebrow (cut/ whatever you want to say) did not get numb enough.  luke tried to be brave during the first stitch.  he only flinched a little.  but, having had tons of stitches myself, i knew that he had feeling.  from the second stitch on, he was SCREAMING.  can you blame the poor guy? 

the doctor was originally going to give him 5 stitches.  but, we all thought 4 would suffice.  not to mention, i’m not sure that luke, jeff, or i could handle another one.

don’t tell jeff i told you, but when they were all done, i saw jeff wipe tears from his eyes.

       luke got a teddy bear afterward.
