I was sooo glad this movie was PG-13, because I love a good action flick. This is definately a movie one should see on the big screen. I really enjoyed it!!!!! Great intense action movie.

Sisters

I know it has been a while since my last blogging, but not much to write. I found these pics of Chloe as a baby and how sweet Alta was as a big sister. The first pic is Alta and Chloe meeting eachother in the first weeks of sisterhood. The second pic is one of my favorites... Alta had put all her baby dolls in my bed, and was so proud of herself. I then put Chloe and Alta in the bed saying now all my babies are there. Alta's big smile and Chloe's screaming was picture perfect.

The Police Concert

We had such a great time!!! They definitely rocked the house. I loved all the songs. Sting was Awesome!!!! These guys were just rock'in their guitars and were just lov'in it. The picture in the red photo corners was where he had just smiled at me personally. He came across the stage just for me. It was funny how star struck I became. I haven't been to a concert since I think I went to a ZZ top concert with Alan and Christine many, many years ago, 1994. As we were waiting for them to come out, I was just so excited I was trying to egg Max into getting excited, (cuz we all know how excited he gets about things) so I called Tammy, because I knew she would be excited with me, but instead she was just mad she couldn't be there. (She thinks Sting is hot too.)

Happy Birthday to You, Mom!!!

My Sweet Alta

Alta has so many different expressions. She is a cute girl that loves to be silly and joke around. She makes us all laugh and smile.

RDH making a difference?

Something that I have done.....
In one of the many offices I work, I instigated the implementation of a new oral cancer screen called vizilite. It is a mouth rinse & light that illuminates abnormal tissues in the mouth. If an area is suspicious and illuminating with no known trauma, there is then a T- blue test that is a dye. When done it will dye any cancer or precancerous tissue blue, if it isn't cancerous nothing will turn blue. The dentist was skeptical, but I researched it and presented it to him. He already did the visual soft tissue screen and I thought this would be a great adjunct to what we were already doing. He finally agreed and we are now doing it in the office.
I had a patient Monday who opted to have the additional test done. The test caused an ulcer to illuminate on the Right lateral boarder of the tongue, we then did a T- blue test and it stayed blue, meaning the ulcer was of some stage of cancer. David yes we referred to an Oral Surgeon. But in this patients life all of a sudden she had cancer. She had no history of tobacco use.
It was interesting to be a part of this process. I felt very involved in this persons life and the changes that are happening. I am hopeful that this test will have allowed us to catch the cancer early, before too much damage has occurred. I will be interested to see what the pathologist will find it to be. I saw worry cross the face of the patient. I wanted to say everything will be alright, but I couldn't, because I did not know, though I did try to comfort her. I am glad we are doing this new test. I feel good that I pushed it into our office and I hope it will help save lives or at least improve quality of lives. I guess I feel that in this small little area I work in, I hope I am making a difference.

Fourth of July

Every other minute both girls were asking if it was time for the fireworks. Finally the time arrived and off we went. We grabbed a blanket, snacks, drinks, bug repellent, and found a clear spot at Long Pier Park in Lorain. Seeing fireworks over the lake was amazing, nothing was in our way. There were lots of people there, relieved that the storms never arrived.

We went to Kirtland because the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was there to kick off their exhibition. It was so awesome to experience the exhibition rubbing shoulders with The Choir. They had great stories about all the pictures, outfits, awards, and videos. I got to live the moment as they relived it with each other. My girls were a center of attraction as they utilized the digital conductor. The digital choir would go faster as they conducted faster, and stop if they stopped. The Choir members were watching them and gloating over how great they were conducting. I explained to some members that they use to practice at home, to be like mom at church, because I use to be the ward chorister.

Chloe's little garden

Chloe loves to help me in the garden. She is fascinated with dirt. In these pictures she is unaware of me taking pictures because she was so focused on planting this weed.

We sure enjoyed the monument to women. It is full of wonderful bronze statues of women in there everyday moments.

The children loved the ox cart ride and the horse and wagon ride. They sure were bumpy. I can't imagine riding this way across the country.

Our Nauvoo Trip

The Nauvoo Temple is absolutely beautiful. It has cherry hardwood through out the building. It is the first temple I've seen have hardwood floors.
