Andrew has recovered from the wisdom teeth being pulled. Actually, he wasn’t even too bad of a “baby” about it. I know he is recovered because he is now eating full meals. Well, either that or he is just so hungry that he is eating despite the pain. Two days of a mainly liquid diet will do that to you.
The weather has been really hot here for the past week and it looks like it will stay that way for awhile yet. Beka and Jared are really enjoying the sprinkler. My fearless son runs straight at the sprinkler and gets totally drenched. Beka is a little more cautious. When the water gets on her face, she runs screaming away from it. They try to get Mommy involved but I think the water coming out of the hose is way too cold for me to be running through. Plus, there is no way anyone is going to see me running around my yard in a swimsuit. NO WAY! I also bought the kids water guns. Yeah I know bad mommy but they are cheap and lots of fun to play with. The picture of Jared has to be one of my favorites that I have taken of him so far this summer.

Well, I had my wisdom teeth taken out today, so I guess that makes me stupider. Caterpillar will be changing my health insurance plan next year, so it was time to get it done while they’re still paying out at the higher rate. I got all four taken out for under $200 out of pocket, so I thought that was a pretty good deal. My dental plan also pays for a panoramic X-Ray once every three years which they need to have before doing wisdom teeth, so I didn’t have to pay extra for the oral surgeon to re-take them. Jen just dropped them off at the office on Monday.
They gave me laughing gas and an IV sedative for the procedure. The sedative I didn’t mind because I don’t remember the surgery, but I didn’t care for the gas too much. I just don’t like the feeling of losing control. It just made my heart beat really fast and my mind race, and I couldn’t react quickly to the anesthesiologist’s commands or respond when I wanted to.
In any case, it seems to have been a success. I took 2 naps today and was able to eat yogurt, applesauce, and soup just fine.
Call Guinness…Im pretty sure I just extended the family record for number of teeth pulled by a physician. It now stands at 17 teeth.
Beka has become totally enthralled with roly-poly bugs. Whenever we are outside, she wants to go bug catching. I used try to make her wait for Daddy to get home. Now though she goes off by herself and catches bugs. The most she has caught at one time is 8. She has great eyes for finding these bugs. Beka will sit under a tree in our yard and dig under the rocks to find them. She is very persistent and proud when she finds them. I can’t wait until later this summer when I introduce her to fireflies!
Jared is a percussionist all the way. I always said I would never let my child have a drum. Well, I used the word “never” and I have learned since not to say that about anything. Before Christmas (that is when Jared received his drum from Grandma), Jared would beat on this one pan. He drummed on it so much that i was losing my mind from the “tinny” sound it made and the pan was losing all of the enamel on the outside. Now, I thought Jared would eventually lose interest in the drum, but I was wrong. It is now 6 months after Christmas and the drum still is played at least once a day. I guess I just better accept the fact that I have a drummer in the house.

Yesterday, I took the kids to Borders bookstore for story time. Beka had a really good time. They did a craft project (making a puppet) and then they read three stories. She sat nicely during the reading time. Every time the reader asked a question, though,she was the first to pipe up. Jared tried to have a good time. He wanted Mommy to read the books. So we sat in a corner and read some books and then he played peek-a-boo with a baby that was there.
Today, we were getting ready to run a few errands when the kids started acting out “Sound Of Music”. Okay they didn’t act out the whole thing. Beka started it. The scene was the one where Captain Von Trapp is introducing the children to Maria the first time. The kids step forward, say their name, and step back again. Okay so picture this. Beka steps forward, says “Louisa”, and steps back. Jared without missing a beat, steps forward, says “Friedrich”, steps back. I know it is out of order but it was still adorable.

I was just finishing up my dinner when Jared walked up to me and put the toy stethescope to my chest. A simple, yet humorous conversation ensued.
Daddy: Am I healthy?
Jared: Nope.
Daddy: Am I having a heart attack?
Jared: Yep.

A couple of weekends ago Andrew and I took the kids to Heritage Days. It is a carnival held at a church here in town. It is kind of like K of C BBQ, but on a much smaller scale. The kids rode a couple of the rides. They got to play “duck pond” and each won a bag of fruit snacks. Beka and Jared also had their first taste of funnelcake and lemon shake-up. It was a fun way to spend a Friday evening.
(As you can see I am still playing with the settings on here. I am also slowly learning html so as I learn more I will add more details.)

Happy Father’s Day Andrew is a wonderful father to our children. I feel very blessed because of all the time he takes with them. Even when he has had a long day at work, he still will make sure he makes time to connect with them. I just wanted to take time to thank him for all he does for us.
By the way, we got Andrew a hedge trimmer and a hard drive for Father’s Day. The trimmer is already a great success. The bushes around our house have never looked so good.

I took Beka to her second tumbling class today. She did jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, bridges(see above), forward/backward rolls, bunny hops, and the crab walk. She really enjoys her teachers Ms. Peggy and Ms. Michelle and listens very well. Daddy and Beka did have to make one emergency trip to the bathroom, but otherwise it was a great class.

I don’t know what it is about this outfit, but Jared has to wear it all the time. Anytime, he sees it in his closet he carries it around until I put it on him. And it is not just the shirt or just the overalls. The outfit is not complete without the hat. I just don’t get it!
