Update on my Mom

My mom is doing great. She had her last round of chemo a few weeks ago. Her doctors were all very impressed with her, she never got sick throughout all the treatments. We still don't know if she will get radiation, but we are thinking probably not. She had the genetic test done to see if she caries the gene related to breast and ovarian cancer since she is younger than 50. Thankfully, that came back negative.

Bentley and I will be traveling to AR again next week, and then Paul will join us for 10 days. I'm excited to visit, but I will miss the weather here. I've heard it's hot in AR, and humidity is my enemy.

For some reason I'm not being allowed to upload pictures so maybe next time.

Sea World

Bentley loved Sea World. We were able to see all of the animals, ride a few rides, and even see a few shows. We got there pretty early when it wasn't very crowded, so we let Bentley ride some rides first. He cried when he had to get off of this one.

He didn't really understand why we were looking through the glass at a whole bunch of water, but if other kids are doing it, he's in.

Then the dolphin swam by and he thought that was pretty neat.

After lunch it was time for a quick snooze. It didn't last long though since we didn't bring the stroller that reclines.

We spent quite a bit of time stacking up foam blocks and then knocking them over.

There was a big round foam mat surrounded by benches for the parents to sit and to keep the kids enclosed. Bentley went over to a stroller that was just parked close enough for him to reach it and swiped a bag of nutter butters from their backpack. Then he brought it over to me and asked for a bite. The owner of the stolen snack said he didn't even notice Bentley take it and that he was pretty sneaky.

He would run up to the hole in the ground, and then when the water would squirt out he would run back to Paul laughing. At least he didn't get very wet.

Even though I remembered to bring my camera, I didn't remember to charge the battery, so I didn't take a whole lot of pictures. It was a good day, but very exhausting. Bentley was asleep before we even left the parking lot.

Busy, Busy

The weather here is amazing so we have been out and about every chance we've had. We still only have one working vehicle, but two days a week Bentley and I take Paul to work so we can have the car. We've been going to the beach and the park, and Saturday we went to a Children's Museum. Bentley loved it so I know we will become regulars there. I am horrible though and have not had my camera with me at all. We have plans this weekend to go to Sea World and probably the beach again. My goal is to have my camera in hand.

Cloth diapering is going great. I really wish I would have taken the plunge back when Bentley was first born. I will definately be using them on future children. I can't really say we've saved much money though because it's addicting and I want to try different brands and such. My sewing machine is in AR right now, but as soon as I can get it I am going to try to make some diapers myself. Here he is in one of my favorite diapers (bumgenius).



He doesn't get to go without shorts on anymore because he prefers to be nude and will strip that diaper off in the blink of an eye.
