"Will update on our day tonight"

"everyone had a "great day"

"Attiude"

“Happiness is an attitude.

We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.

The amount of work is the same.”

"determined"

“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”

End of SUMMER

"End of summer"
It's hard to believe in 5 short days the end of summer will be "gone"
Rusty, Abbi and Rian will go back to school
It will just be Robert, Randon and myself all day long
I'm a little nervous for Abbi to be gone all day long.
I'm hoping we have another positive school year.

We had a "nice" summer
I will have a "summer round up" this weekend and will write about our summer

The last few days have been busy.
We almost had to call 911 on Sunday night
Russ and I were making dinner on our grill and it literally started a fire
we can know longer use our grill
I/we "normally" cook on the grill at least once if not twice a day.
Looks like we will be pulling out our crock-pot early this year.
I planned on using recipes from this blog

365 Gluten Free crock-pot

We have been busy getting ready for "back to school"
We also had a few consults regarding Randon and his

"white spots" on his gums

5 consults later we found two doctors that will help us
BOTH will be out of pocket, so we will have to pay and submit to our insurance
$2100.00 / $1400.00

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
In one form of conscious inhalation sedation, nitrous oxide gas (also known as laughing gas) is used to induce a state of relaxation. A local anesthetic will be administered in combination with nitrous oxide sedation to eliminate pain.

General Anesthesia
This method of dental sedation refers to the use of anesthetic to render the patient unconscious. Unlike other sedation methods, the patient will be completely unaware of his or her surroundings, making the use of local anesthetic unnecessary.

We picked "Nitrous Sedation" not only because it cost us less out of pocket, also because
general anesthesia comes with a lot of other issues.
we are not willing to risk.

We can also be with Randon during the produce with(Nitrous Sedation )

Now we just have to pick who will be with him because we don't have anyone to watch Robert.
I just can't count on "SOME" family members, so sadly the both of us won't be able to be with Randon during the procedure.

Like everything else we will work it out.
