Tuesday

So I woke up this morning and guess what?
My two temporary teeth had come out again!
So I put on some dental wax and headed to work. I called the Dentist office and was able to get in right away to see them. I think they feel really bad but it isn't really there fault. What we discovered today is that I must grind my teeth a lot during the night. They placed the temporary back in and had me grind me teeth back and forth and off it popped again. So at least this time they were able to file it down a whole bunch and then put it back in. I think my nervous system is getting used to going to the dentist, which is not a good thing! Anyway I am hoping that this was the last time until I have to get the final porcelain ones on in May.

Monday

I guess that I am brave in posting my teeth. Hopefully I didn't scare anybody off! It was the only way I could think of to show my friends and family what is going on. I already have plans to go get pictures done of Hank and I after I get the pretty teeth on. The unseen bonus of having this done is Hank is now really serious about brushing his teeth and making sure that his teeth stay white. He even uses the mouth was twice a day. Hopefully with all this work done I will be able to eat ice cream again. And I might just smile a little more. Today is not as painful as the last couple of days, but eating my Monday morning bagel was hard.

My Teeth

So in case you have never had a tooth prepped for a root canal it is horrible! I had my front six teeth done, from eye tooth to eye tooth. I had the prep done on Friday, and Saturday night while sleeping I had the temporary teeth fall off two of my teeth. It hurt so bad this morning. I am grateful that Dr. Tarbet gave me Loritab to take. I felt really bad calling him on Sunday but I was also extremely happy that he came into the office and fixed my tooth. This is what they looked like without the temporary on.

So those two little teeth, are my real tooth, the ones in front also look the same way! Even breathing hurt.

The black spots are my gums where they are bruised. Oh well this whole thing will be over soon...... And then six new pretty teeth!

My Country

I got this quiz off my cousins blog. Guess what I live in the right country!

http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm?action=go_detail&sub_action=take&obj_id=1435

Which country should you REALLY be living in?
United States of America
You`re an American through and through. You like the idea of liberty and freedom, and enjoy watching the odd ball game with your trusty weener bun and your bud light. Sweet, dude.

Easter Afternoon

Easter afternoon was filled with fun at Papa greats house. And a quick visit to see Papa Ed. It was nice and fun to hang out with Carole and the kids. I drove her van up there, and the big joke was if I would drive crazy. Here are a couple more pictures from that day.

Easter morning at our house

This one look was the perfect look for Easter morning. I love the look of surprise on his face! Too bad I was behind him and couldn't get a good picture.

The bunny even climbed up on the chair for a few minutes!

But he only ate a couple bites of the carrots. Too bad I think that the bunny wasn't hungry anymore.

So I am going to attempt to update my blog :)

Hank and I woke up on Easter Sunday and the Easter Bunny had brought him a basket full of goodies and a little bit of candy. I thought the Easter Bunny mixed up our chocolate rabbits, because Hank got the big one and I got the small one. But I guess it is ok.

Did the bunny come in from outside?

Easter morning was fun I am glad that he is still young enough to enjoy it.

Easter Pictures

I am being teased because I have not posted in awhile. So here are some pictures and I will post some writing sometime this weekend.

Easter Bunny

If you can't read the note it says: Dear Easter Bunny, Thank you for the first easter big chocolate to share you gave me. Hope you have a appy easter Love Hank Kris (he wrote his name backwards the first time)

Getting ready for the Easter Bunny.....

The basket had to get on the biggest table we had, because in case you didn't know the easter bunny brought lots of stuff last year. Sometimes I wish that he didn't have such a good memory. I will post more pictures tomorrow after our Easter celebration.

Aunt Carole is here

Hank loves his cousins and has been so excited to play with them all week. I can't beleive how much fun they have together. We played kick ball this evening at the park. It was so much fun to try and teach the kids who they ran to and watching Uncle Bri pitch the ball to each of them. When he was pitching I thought back to how proud he used to be when he was in baseball. He loved to go play with his friends, I think he was only about 8 or maybe younger.

Here Uncle Bri is helping everybody play with these little helicopters I bought when working up at the home and garden show in Ogden.

Sam Loved to roll down the hill. I can't beleive how much he has grown since Christmas when we saw him last.

Climbing the Tree

Hank asked if he could climb up the tree in our front yard. He even had to have his gloves so the tree wouldn't hurt him. I can't beleive that he is growing up so quickly.

He wanted to make sure that I was watching him so I was sitting on the top step reading my Anatomy and watchin him.

He was actually up on the lower branch while I was getting the camera out.

The Couch

I just realized that a lot of my recent posts have pictures of our ugly couch in the background! My family will all recognize the couch because it belonged to Grandma Great and Papa Great. Well hank and I have decided to recover the couch, in this really nice green fabric. Well since I am required to get at least three hours of sleep a night I have not finished it. I will take another picture of just the couch so you can all see. It will be nice when it is all done, but who knows when that will happen.

Race Cars

Hank received these race cars from Grandma B and Papa B for christmas. We finally opened them on Saturday. he loves them. We only had enough batteries to make one of the cars run, but he loved it anyway.

He figured out how to get both cars running at the same time on one track. I knew he was smart :)

New School Clothes

Here are the new "uniforms" for Hank for "Big Kid School" He doesn't start there until August 20th but Old Navy was having a sale so I picked up some extra clothes, that are a little large.

He tried them on but then didn't want me to take a picture of him with the clothes on, so we compromised and he got by them. At least he was smiling!

This week

So this week has been hard for me. I have had finals in massage school, and my class at university of phoenix is ending on Monday. Also I have no energy levels. You would think that since I started to walk everyday and at least watch my food intake I would be gaining energy but that is not the case so far. Oh well it will get better. Now if I could cut out the Doctor Pepper I would be under calories and could start losing weight. I don't know if I can do it but I am going to try. I am at least finally drinking enough water in a day. Sometimes I feel like I am going to float out of my office.

PRJFury

So tonight was the debut for Jungle Fury! It was an hour long special that we have been waiting for for weeks. Since Hank has been sick I went to Wal-Mart and got him the two other Jungle Fury power rangers that he wanted. It was fun and I finally saw a smile on his face after three days.

His three Jungle Fury Power Rangers!

My favorite! Green Elephant runner

Getting better

Hank is getting better, according to him. He is only a little bit sick today and is a lot better. He does this little thing with his fingers to show you exactly how much better he is feeling. We are still sitting at home today and watching tv. Tonight is Power Rangers Jungle Fury debut so we are getting ready for our celebration at 5:00. I promised popcorn and a party so that is what we are doing. Hank has been marking the days off for about three weeks waiting for today.

I will post again after our power rangers party with some pictures.

Sick Again

So it is 1:00 AM. We just got out of sitting in our bathroom with a hot shower running and a shower steamer in the tub. If you don't know what that is it is a pellet you put in the shower and it releases a mentholatum steam. Hank has had a fever pretty much all day. It goes away for a little while then it comes right back. His fever is sitting at about 102 right now but he just took some more bubble gum medicine and hopefully will be ok again soon. If not I guess we might be making a late night/early morning trip to the doctors. I guess it is a good thing that his mom is normally a night owl, and that we have the day off tomorrow.

Big Kid School - He got in!

We received a letter stating:
Dear Kris,
We are pleased to inform you that Hank has been officially accepted into Kindergarted class for the 2008-2009 school year. ETC.....

Hank was so excited! BUt he wanted to know why the letter wasn't to him and it was to me! I told him that they had to tell his mom since I was the one paying for it. Anyway I am excited as well. I am glad that Hank got into private school for me it was important that he is in a small classroom and will get the individual learning experience. I also like that he will be wearing a uniform, this will save money on clothes and keeping up with his friends. I also thought it was awesome that Old Navy is in the middle of their kids sale so I purchased a couple of shirts tonight in celebration!
