Paul is having surgery tomorrow, he's not scared, I am! And he has to take a few days unpaid, not so fun. Instacare thought he was just dehydrated when we went in on Fathers Day, he was still hurting on Tuesday so we took him to the ER, they did a catscan and pumped him full of liquids and pain killers and found that he had something there, they sent him to a urologist last Thursday and they did a cystoscopy and found what they think are tumors and so he goes in tomorrow to have surgery.

Bear Lake went alright. Okay maybe more than alright, Paul has been with us for almost a week, I was so much more sane!! All of us except for the baby got burnt, and yes we all wore sunscreen! We went and played at the beach, Kacen really enjoyed his handfuls of sand that Im sure tasted wonderfully! Alona collected seashells and Abbi played with our sand toys, eventually she warmed up to the water. Alona and me ventured out until the water was halfway up her thighs. A little boy borrowed one of our buckets and caught two little fish in them. We enjoyed hobo dinners and smores with our camp fire and the girls wouldn't go and play in the trees and weeds..."it is too poky", Alona said when I asked her to go play. We got there late Thursday and left at lunch time on Saturday, most of the time Paul wasn't feeling so well.

Kacen still has a double ear infection, he screams and is quite ornery with me. He is eight months old and still does not sleep through the night. He seems to be my most difficult baby so far, or maybe that because I am doing this one with so much less help.
