Little Aubrey was playing outside in the sandbox yesterday, so I snuck out with the camera to try and catch something with her not pulling a cheesy grin at me. When she see’s the camera she starts posing, I think she is destined to be a little model. Aubrey’s personality is so sweet though, and I wanted to catch her sweet side.

This picture was taken up at Ensign Ranch when we went out for a walk to look at the horses.

Just playing with some pictures I took.

There are woman in the church who amaze me. They have such grace, and charm, and can get up and lead a meeting with such class and seem so articulate. I marvel at them, and wonder if I will ever grow into a maturity like this. It got me to thinking about the women in my life. There is of course my mother, where would I be without her? I have a hard time seeing her as a young mom. I wonder if she had the same self doubts that I have when it comes to being a mother. Or how about Danny’s Mom, she seems so sure of herself and capable in her parenting skills, were these great women once young with little ones hanging on them? I know they were, I just have a hard time picturing it, they just seem to have so much more wisdom and understanding on the issues of life then I, so I’m hoping to grow into this maturity that I see in these great woman in my life.

So moving on… Tanner had a soccer game on Saturday, the wind was blowing like it can only in Dayton. According to Danny it was blowing in gusts of over 60 miles per hour. It was blowing Alyssa right over and if Danny got off the chairs they would take off also. Tanner played goalie and the wind was with the other team, but nothing went past him. At half the coach put Tanner in as a forward, Tanner’s team won!

Aubrey came down with Strep throat this week, and it has run it course through all of us. I still have a residual sore throat, and wonder if I’m going to have to go see the doctor. I took Aubrey to the doc, and she was given some antibiotics, and it kicked it in her, but I’m the only one left with a sore throat.

I’m going to take the kids to Tahoe this weekend and get some photos I’ll post them if any of them turn out.

“Just another manic monday… oooo oooo… wish it were Sunday… ooooo oooo, that’s my fun day…” was blaring on the overhead music. I thought to myself how fitting for my day. In between the oooo’s there was the buzzing sound and then the statrling flinch that comes when water splashes onto my face. Oh where’s my fun day? Then Cindi Lauper comes on and I vision her pink hair half shaved and her hidious makeup, oh the things that go through your head when you are at the dentist. It was all going fairly well except for the annoying music and the occasional splash of water when I hear something really large go up that suckie thing, and the dentist says “hmmm interesting”. Hmmm interesting, are you serious, that is all you can say… I guess it is better then “oops”, or “uh oh” but still, what does that mean. I knew it couldn’t be good. My eyes are still closed, I assume that he’ll tell me if something serious is going on, and what good does it do to look anyway, all I have to look at is a fire sprinkler directly above my head, and the thoughts that come with that aren’t much better then the picture of Cindy Lauper in my head. I hear the nurse go out and talk with the front, and then I hear the front lady tell the people waiting that they are running 30 minutes behind. How can they be running 30 minutes behind it’s 8 in the AM and I’m the only person in there so far… duh, it’s me that is running 30 minutes behind, I’m assuming it has something to do with the “hmmm interesting” statement. So now I’m flinching with the water splashing, and my butt muscles starts to twitch, at least it’s a twitch no one can tell is happening, and it gives me something else to ponder. Do you think there is a connection from my right uppper back tooth to a twitch in the right lower cheek? Hmmm, I’m sure when I’m finished here that I’ll delete this out of embarassment. Buzz buzz, flinch flinch, twitch twitch, oooo that’s my fun day. After an hour and a half of this I finally emerged my twitch has stopped, I pay my $600 and wonder why I didn’t stop for a $20 pedicure instead of driving all the way to the dentist… don’t you think they should have at least given me a massage for that price? Sigh…
