The Girls in my Life

Just sitting here tonight looking at a few pictures form the year. This was one of my favorite pictures this year. I love you gals. Of course I have new girls to direct my life.

Today I beat the Rubik's cube. It was pretty challenging (but with help from the Internet I did it).

Christmas! It was a great day. The girls were very excited. They still haven't quite played with all of their toys. One of my favorite gifts was the Nerf guns that the girls got. Maddie and I played army men for about an hour. It was right after we played with her new bat and ball. She told me after awhile "This is a lot more fun than baseball." I think that she will like baseball when it gets warmer.

Thanks for the Dog stuff. Maddie really loves her dogs. Someday we will get her a real dog.

Lauren had a great time and keeps asking if Santa is coming again. She was very excited about her build-a-bear clothes and her game Elefun.

We went swimming yesterday a couple of hours from here don't worry it was inside. The girls loved it. We spent about 5 hours there and didn't get home 'til about 10pm. The girls went right to bed. So I got Amy some new home phones for Christmas and they are so high tech that Amy and I have had a few fits trying to figure them out.(that really makes me sound old) Speaking of OLD, I am getting a lot of gray hairs and I seem to always be injured, man I really am getting old.

Next post: My goals for the new year.

PS-- What did you give Jesus for Christmas? (a little peace, obedience, a better attitude) Maddie decided to be more obedient.

I love you all---

Good Night

The best story ever

Thanks Jill for contributing. @ least the Utes can beat one instate rival, (man I really don't like BYU). Anyway a couple of days ago I got this email from one of my classmates and thought that I would post it on the blog. It is the funniest story of all time. I just cut and pasted the story from my email so enjoy.

I also have a funny link for ya'll to follow and watch us dance.

D2008,

Many of you might have heard this story, and many have asked so here it is in full, enjoy...

Last week I was delivering a #29 PFM. My patient was a normal guy, possibly the most normal in my patient pool. I began to lay back his chair, explaining that I would be removing his temporary in order to deliver the permanent crown. Before I could lay him all the way back, he reached into his mouth himself, and handed me the temporary. "it's been loose for about two weeks now" he told me. "wow", I said, "You're lucky you didn't swallow it." He looks at me and says "Oh, I did." At this point I am a bit confused, and said something to the effect of "Oh, well then it's a good thing you were able to cough it up." "No, I swallowed it." I'm trying to hold back laughter. "yeah, I swallowed it." he said somewhat proudly. " Just ate nothing but prunes for a few days, sifted through things a few times until I found the crown. Soaked it for 10 minutes in some Hydrogen Peroxide and it was good to go." Now I'm holding back tears of laughter, and tell him he's my first patient to do something like that. "really?" he says, "Seemed like the common sense thing to do."

Happy holidays.

Week Before Finals

Hey Family!

Jeff let me be a part of the blog even though I waited forever to contribute. I just got done doing a section about deferred taxes on my take home test, now I only have stock options, pensions, leases, and capitalization to go. Yay!

It hasn't necessarily been a good week for me. As with everyone, end of semester is draining. Plus I skipped out on my final to go to the Utah State v. Utah game at the Huntsman Center and the Aggies got spanked. I think I would have rather taken the final than go to the game. I had to drive to Orem to take it today. Totally not worth it, and I don't recommend doing it. But, I'm still an Aggies fan and hope I get some of the Ute basketball players in my class next semester so I can fail them and then they'll be ineligible to play!! :) Just kidding.

I miss everyone and can't wait til semester is out! Love you all!

Congratulations Kevin

Congratulations Kevin!! Dental school is going to rock. I just want to say that it is awesome.

What should I get my wife for Christmas? What should I ask for?
