TORI
I just love it when I upload my cell phone and find 100 selfies from my kids.?? Grrrr.
June 26th
Today we are getting Tori’s heart monitor at Dr Nowlen’s office.?? She can have it off for up to 4 hours a day.?? Tori said that she felt a slight heart issue when I was gone with Jim but she didn’t report it because she didn’t know how.?? (Jim and I went on a late date to see Wonder Woman).
TROY
I was in the shower and had my bedroom door locked.?? He was banging on the door over and over because he wanted to watch his show in my room.?? I kept telling him he needed to wait until I was dressed and ready.?? Finally, I opened the door and he was laying in the hallway.?? He said, “Mom!?? I could NOT hold my horses!”
I am sure I have mentioned this before but Troy has a love of “tummies”.?? Since he was a tiny baby he had a natural draw to soft bare tummies.?? When we were up in Camp Verde in March I had to laugh because Noah was shirtless a lot and Troy just couldn’t resist asking for constant hugs.?? Like a kid and the satin trim on a blankie.?? So funny.
****
Last night I was reading the BFG to Tori and Troy and they loved it and kept wanting more.?? At the end of chapter 3, Troy said, “Read a big one!?? I have to know what happens next!”

Troy turned the big SIX on June 25th
????
Why??? Because if you want to look like dad you have to tape hair in all the right places?!

June 30th
Took Troy to his six year well check.?? He was pretty sleepy yesterday and complained of a sore throat today and then I noticed that acetone/fruit breath smell on him so while at the Dr they did a blood glucose test.?? It needed to come back under 128 and it came back at 72 so that was perfect.?? Glad I got it tested WHILE he was displaying that symptom.?? He had two immunizations today and needs 3 more (but Dr. said he can catch up at his 7 year – no rush).?? He was 42 inches tall and in the 4th percentile and weighed 38 pds and in the 42% percentile.?? I have noticed him putting on a little weight lately.?? Dr. said everything was perfect.
VACATION
San Diego Vacation Day 1:?? We left at 5:00 AM and got there before 12.?? We had breakfast at McDonald’s in Gila Bend and then went straight to the beach.?? That first night we had dinner at Ruby’s (for lunch we had Togo’s)
TROY:?? At dinner, Troy took the lid off his milk and spilled some of it.?? I asked him why in the world he took the lid off.
Troy: (Very unhappy voice) I ordered CHOCOLATE milk!?? This is MILK!
Me:?? No.?? You ordered milk.
Troy:?? NO I didn’t.?? I said chocolate.
Me:?? I heard you and you asked for just milk.
Troy:?? Well maybe you don’t hear very well because I talk real good!
Whhhaat??? I couldn’t help but laugh because he usually isn’t that sassy but lately he is really speaking his mind.
San Diego Vacation Day 2:?? Woke up, breakfast in the hotel, went to the beach, went back to the pool and then we went to Old Town .?? We ate at the Mexican restaurant but we weren’t as big of fans this year.?? We also walked around and got root beer shakes.
San Diego Vacation Day 3:?? Decided to take a beach break because I was pretty burned.?? Went to La Jolla and saw Seal beach and also checked out the tide pools.?? Ate lunch at Carl’s Junior and then went to Seaport village and had ice cream.?? That night we had Pizza down at the beach and took a long walk along the beach.
San Diego Vacation Day 4:?? Went back to the beach and I bought a rash guard as I was burned.?? The long sleeved rash guards really helped everybody and I was the one with the most significant burn this year.?? Ate subway at lunch and Chili’s at dinner.
San Diego Vacation Day 5:?? Got up and packed up.?? Decided not to go back to beach.?? Went to La Jolla and went to Sunny Jim’s Sea cave, had lunch at Jack in the Box and then drove up to Apple Valley.?? Had dinner at Steer and Stein’s with Uncle Dale and Aunt Karen.
San Diego Vacation Day 6:Went to Kelly’s for the day and swam and went on their boat.?? They ordered pizza.
San Diego Vacation Day 7:?? Drove home.?? Was a nice vacation with our family!!!!?? Next up Disney I hope!
On our way home we stopped in Palm Desert (or maybe it was Palm Springs actually) and ate at Grill a Burger because Tanner saw it on Diners, Dives and Drive Thrus and wanted to go.?? The chili and cheese fries and just cheese fries were good and everyone liked their food.?? Jim and I split a Caprese Burger which was basically a burger with a lot of pesto on it and melted mozz.?? Very good.
Gotta love all the random cartwheel shots.
ADVENTURES
June 23rd
Jim and I went to Prescott for the day.?? Had lunch at Olive Garden, walked around Prescott, drank coffee at the square in the spice shop, and then went to the Elevate Concert.?? It was David Dunn, Zach Williams (my fav), Jordan Feliz (Jim LOVED), and Matt West.?? It was a great concert and went until after 11:00 PM.?? Such a great date night with my precious guy.?? Mom S. stayed the night with the kids as we didn???t get in until 1:00 AM.
