Oh Shyler...

It's Sunday morning... Shyler and I are arguing (as usual) about how I'm not making breakfast before church, we are just having cereal. She simply will not let it go, and I won't give in and make breakfast because now I'm being stubborn (plus I was trying to get my singing time activity finished)... So finally I told her, "Shyler, go to your room until you can talk to me nicely!" She gives me her best scowl and begins stomping her feet as she storms out of the kitchen and down the stairs, yelling, "Well, I don't know when that will be!" And then she slams her door. She came up not even 5 minutes later, got herself a bowl of cereal and she and I never said a word more about it... This morning Cole was driving the kids to school and Easton said, "When I grow up, I want to be a cop." To this, Shyler says, "So you wanna arrest people and eat doughnuts!?"

Giving Back and Easton's new "magic teeth"

My work has a Humanitarian competition going on where we are placed in competing teams and each team is trying to beat the others by raising the most money or logging the most service hours.

This last Saturday, the kids and I took a walk and picked up a bunch of litter on the sides of the street. I was surprised how much we picked up in less than 1/2 mile!

It's no secret my son has inherited my terrible teeth... :( In the end of 2010 he had some molars extracted and yesterday he had to have metal spacers put in to keep all the teeth from shifting into the wrong spaces. We've switched to a new dentist, Dr. Chamberlain and we love him! They did a great job with Easton yesterday. (Even if I was suffering an anxiety attack and had to leave the room while they worked on him....thank goodness for Cole being an incredible dad and hubby, and he stayed with Easton through the whole thing. Thanks babe!!)

It took a couple hours for the medicine to wear off (he took an oral medicine that made him really loopy and out of it during the procedure). I gave him ibuprofen just once yesterday and now he's doing great. No pain, no problems. :)

Out with the old, in with the new.

This, my friends, is my husband's new girlfriend. I just can't compare...

She's shinier than me, younger than me, purrs like a kitten... And oh yea, her headlights are much nicer than mine.

I guess I don't know funny

It started raining...hard.
I said, "let's go run in the rain naked!"
Shyler looks at me and asks, "why naked!?"
I reply, "because it's funny"...duh
She informs me, "it would be funny in your underwear and no pants."
Okay then...

My face is a gumball machine...

It's Day#6 since my bone graft and although the swelling has decreased some...I still have this hard "ball" on my jaw and it's stiff/sore and I do not remember this with my last bone graft. I'm kinda freaked out. It's big... like 25 cent bouncy ball size... Tomorrow is my follow up appointment... I plan to get some answers...

It's getting bigger and bigger

Last Thursday I had an apicoectomy and bone graft at Dr. Pulispher's office... Above is my face on Friday... nice, eh? It pretty much stayed that way until this morning... it's a little better, but there is still swelling... oy... I just hope it goes down before Friday, I'm headed to Park City with some girlfriends! woohoo!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

I made Shyler a special lunch today (and some prep last night) in celebration of Dr. Seuss' Birthday today.

The idea was not my own, I stole it here. Such a cute idea, I had to do it! I had goldfish (One Fish, Two Fish...), green hard boiled eggs and sliced ham (Green Eggs and Ham), blue jello (blue goo), pink drink (pink ink).
