July Already

Can you believe it, it's July already? And it's been a while since my last post. I've had a bunch of days off and it's been really nice. I haven't been on the computer very much which is also a nice break.

Today I took the kids to see the dentist to get their teeth cleaned and checked. Jillian's teeth ended up being perfect. Lord knows how she does it. I always say she must have some sort of super saliva or something because she has never had a cavity in her whole life. And it's not due to some great oral hygiene ... because she is so bad at taking care of her teeth on a daily basis. She is just plain lazy.

Then there is Jacob. I'm not saying he is perfect by any means but he can't seem to catch a break. He has two little cavities on the back molars. I wondered if it was from his braces but she said that it was unavoidable because the gums were up over the back of the tooth and he just couldn't get to it with a tooth brush. Oh I feel for the little guy. He wasn't impressed.

I worked out with Penny twice this week. We went on June 30 and today. Today's workout was so much better than the last one. We were on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes, which is really, really good for Penny. She only likes to be on it for 15 minutes or so at a time. So today we doubled that. And we worked out in the weight room too. I was good and truly sore when we left the gym today. Good for us.

Sunday is Jillian's 19th birthday. I've invited Teresa, Kevin and kids, Oma and Uncle Wally. We are going to have a BBQ and it will be nice, if the weather holds out. Cross your fingers! I've also invited Jillian's new boyfriend Chris. He will be working all day and I know he will be tired but I hope he comes. It will be weird that a "new" boyfriend will be here and not Nic. Sometimes I miss not seeing him around. He was a good kid and he really liked Jillian. But what can you do? But I do have a bunch of stuff to do to get ready for the BBQ. I have to pin down the shopping list, buy a Birthday Card and take Jacob out shopping for her too. I also have to shop for groceries and clean up the house some. Oh, and if it's going to be nice out I also have to get the picnic table ready to eat on ... it hasn't been used since last summer and needs a really good scrubbing. Lots of little details. But it will be nice. I just can't believe she is going to be 19 already.
