Good Dogs

It's one thing to bring a puppy home, it's entirely another matter to let them go, we are missing our daisy dog...rest in peace sweet girl.

Out and About

Stuff I Like:  Old Stuff, Leftovers from the past, fun people, road trips

Stuff I don't like:  confident rodents, willing to fly ledge to ledge in order to steal muddy buddies

Pictures like this...

The ideal of course, would be that everyone is looking and smiling.  But, I always, buy and hang pictures like this, its a representation of the way things are at the moment.  Bawling baby and all.

The Fam II

I feel like I should explain myself... or something.  But, I won't.  Here we are, new family member and all.

Dentist Discovery!

I usually let Amie do the blogging but I had to share a break through I had this morning at the dentist. Last week our little Landon came home so proud of himself. He had been to the dentist and called me to say he didn't need to get a shot to dull the pain. I was very impressed as was Amie.

This morning it was my turn to get drilled. I mentioned to Dr Gordon about Landon not needing anything for the pain and he said they actually have done studies that show kids don't really know what to expect so they are able to deal with the pain much better than adults. Basically he was saying that I and the rest of us oldies were a bunch of baby moaners and we couldn't take it.

I certainly couldn't let me 4 year old one up me with the dentist so I told the doc I was going ah-natural. So he started drilling and I was surprised at how not so painful it was. 4 medium sized cavities later, the assistant un strapped me from the chair, I got up and wiped the tear streams from my face. Just kidding about that. It really was not painful. I would say uncomfortable at times but the shot would have been more pain than I felt. And now I don't have to deal with drool all over my desk (except when I take my afternoon nap) cause I have complete control of my facial muscles.

So the next time you go to the dentist take my advice; for go the needle and deal with the little pain there is.

And yes I had 4 cavities. Not proud of that but until I find a suitable alternative to sugar I'm stuck.

The Adventures of Amie

Last Saturday at Wines park in Lehi we were waiting for Emmie's dance team to preform. Having some time to kill the kids wanted to climb the Rock Wall. unfortunately for them they weren't old enough. The National Guard guy who was running the booth asked Amie and I if we wanted to climb the wall. I declined and thought Amie would follow suit....Oh how wrong I was!

She passed Lexie to me and up she went. 1 minute and 26 seconds later she was at the top with a big smile on her face looking down at a very proud family.

Who knew that we had such an adventurer on our hands? First the Ragnar. Then the Rock Wall. What's next? Sky Diving perhaps? What ever it is I bet it's spectacular!
