Today Sean took a 1/2 day to go to West Valley with me to check out an new endocrinologist. I mention that because he took the day off a week before school starts and that is a big deal. But he went and we met with a new Dr. He was a total geek. I mean all out nerd. The coolest guy we have met in a long time. Well as far as Docs go. But he read every page in my file. Even the pages that were of another patient that got faxed with my file. And I wonder why my old Doctor was clueless~she wasnt even reading my file. Anyway, He spent the first 10 minutes just reading the papers and when he was done he knew all that they had said about me-good or bad. I told my story and he was ontop of all of the information. Well not my age. He said I was 37. Um no. He hooked me to an ultrasound on my neck and gave kudos to the surgeon that did the handy work. I think he did a good job too. But overall it was totally worth the 1 hour 45 minutes it took to drive there. I am optimistic...

The kids are doing great. Shea will get on her princess dresses and ask me to sing a princess song and ask Liam or Ben to dance with her. They grin from ear to ear and begrudgingly do it. Its stinkin' cute. Ireland and Patrick are gearing up for school. This year they are both on the top end of the school. Meaning they are the oldest grade in the school. This should be interesting. Patrick a freshman next year and Ireland heading into 7th grade! I am not old enough to be a mom of kids this old!!! What in the world???

So we also have to mention our animals. I think we are up to all 6 birds laying that we got originally. So the next 2 should be laying by the middle of September. It is fun to go out and get the eggs. Its really like Easter everyday.

SCHOOL??? Still not ready. I love having the kids all to myself and what will Shea do with out her favorite brothers and sisters??? This week we will go ahead and try to make that bag Ireland really wants to make. I am not sure how this will work but I think she is better at sewing than I am.
