I took these pictures with Mim's camera when she visited in May. These are the best of the bunch! I think I'm a pretty good picture taker! Click for a closer look.
Mommy's friend Marlo donated money to her friend Sharon, who in turn ran a lap in Mommy's honor in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. I'm glad that Mommy has such a good friend who cares about her, her health and also helps others. Thank you Marlo and Sharon!!!
My cousin Noah recently won a Webby award for his super cool blog, "Skull-A-Day, " where he made skulls every day for a YEAR! It's now called "Skull-A-Day 2.0." He also has a BOOK on skulls coming out this year. The pic up top is of Noah accepting his award. He was told he could only use 5 words in his speech. So he said, "This could be a spine." Here he is at the awards ceremony with sister Mica.
This is a message from Ryan's mom:
I need to spread the word that several stores across the U.S. are selling this water bottle, called the "Breast Cancer Awareness Bottle," and that it would be in your best interest to NOT PURCHASE IT! It contains chemicals linked to Cancer, specifically BISPHENOL-A (BPA). This is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. Check out this site to learn more about BPA (http://www.reusablebags.com/store/reusable-bottles-c-19.html).
Canada has BANNED these bottles and other products made with this chemical, but our own Food and Drug Administration says that the link to cancer "cannot be proven," so these products are still on the shelves!
This BPA bottle is technically not refillable because once the bottle warms up/heats up and reaches a certain temperature, the toxins from the plastic bottle can transfer to the liquid you are drinking inside it. Repeated cooling and then thawing/warming of bottles made with this chemical is not recommended.
The next time you drink from ANY plastic water bottle be sure to turn it over and look for the number inside the little recyclable logo. If it has a number 7 and DOES NOT SAY BPA-FREE, please make sure you throw the bottle away after drinking its contents. PLEASE DO NOT REFILL, CHILL AND REUSE BOTTLES UNLESS THEY ARE BPA-FREE!! Fortunately, there are BPA-free brands available to us, just do a search.
I cannot believe the irony in this situation. A product is being sold to bring awareness to Breast Cancer and it's not safe and may actually cause Cancer?!
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, PEOPLE! SPREAD THE WORD!
The cashier at our supermarket told us about the baseball card "grab bag" at the local hobby shop. It's a bunch of old baseball cards that the employees put in a bag and you pick the bag. Thing is, you have no idea what you'll get! There were 264 cards in my bag!!!!! All for $3.75!! WOW, what a sweet deal!
Yesterday was Field Day at my school. We were outside all day. I was on the White Team. There were lots of activities like the Sack Relay, Football Throw and Tug-O-War. It was loads of fun!
I like making Mickey heads out of stuff around the house. I started with today's lunch, an english muffin pizza Mickey. I like pizza a lot--can you tell?
Check out what my mom and dad made me for dinner! It's pepperoni pizza rolls and salad SUPREMO! Super yummy!
I bought some really nice flowers for my mom at school at the PTA's Mother's Day Plant Sale. Mom does not have a green thumb, so Mim and Mica thought it would be nice to plant them in the backyard!
We realized that we never showed you guys what our Oreo cupcakes ended up looking like! Didn't they look yummy?! They sure tasted good! I wonder what kind of vegan cupcakes we'll make next time!
