Utah Trip Update

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family Fun, Health Concerns, Kevin, Kevin and I, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Vacation
So, in case that didn't make any sense, I had 5 teeth majority worked on here. Two root canals, and a tooth pulled on Wednesday with a bone graft for a future implant. On Thursday I went back for two more root canals, but once they'd cleared the decay, we realized there wasn't enough left the save the teeth. So those two were pulled as well and I got bone grafts there too. So yeah. I'm in less pain now than before, but still plenty of pain. So, on Tuesday we flew in. We got in at noon and ran to temple square and to get some supplies for my family. By 4 we picked up Nate. That was wonderful! Everyone was filled with joy and excitement to all be…

Checking in

Me
Things are going pretty well.  I ended up having those teeth pulled instead of finishing the root canals...  No wonder I was in so much pain...  Just busy BUSY!

In Utah

Me
So, we're in Utah! We flew in on Tuesday at lunch time, and picked up my brother at four.  Nate, my brother has just returned from a two year mission in Guatemala for our church.  We've had so much fun smoothering him ever since!  I took probably 400 photos. So once I get a chance to edit them be ready for mega picture overload, and it won't stop till we've been home a couple weeks. Yesterday I finally went into the dentist.....  .. . .  Stonehaven Dental in Lehi Utah, AWESOME PLACE!  I cannot give them enough praise, they're awesome.  BUT you know my dental fears.   They were so nice, and once I finally got in the chair, things couldn't have gone better.  Before that I was a nervous wreck though.…

Huh?

Me
Don't know what compeled me to post that, probably the pain killers....  I'll be getting a tooth extraction Wednesday morning, and the antiobiotics kicked in yesterday, but I still find myself in severe pain a few times a day.

Ike Tree

Me
Here's a collage of our Ike Tree. (Click image for larger version) Oh, and I'm getting a tooth pulled.  I have an unhealthy rationality about dentist and dental work.  So, I'm out of it while the antibiotics kick in and I'm on heavy pain meds. Do you have dental fears or issues?  I'm finding it's more common than people let on.

Michael’s Quote of the Day, and Nudity in Public.

Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Memories, Michael
"Pink is for Girls.  Boys aren't supposed to eat pink."  As he wolfs down his pink strawberry cream cheese covered bagel. So I ask him, "If someone had a birthday and had pink cupcakes, wouldn't you eat it?" "Nobody has pink cupcakes!" Oh, and as I checked out at the grocery store this morning, Aiden jumped out of the cart and decided to "Go Potty."  Ugh!  So I struggled to put my card back in my wallet and grab my groceries quickly, to try to catch him in the bathroom, but I was too slow.  Before I could do anything Aiden ran, parading about, out of the bathroom in nothing but his t-shirt!  "I GO POTTY!!!!!"  "Um, yay, go back in the bathroom!" Oh, the joys of mothering boys.

TXT from CDC

Me
"From The Centers for Disease Control - Urgent info 4 those in Ike area. Don't use generators indoors, near open windows or in garage. Drink bottled water only." It's just WEIRD to get a text message from CDC... On the generators, read the manuals people!  There have been a lot of people being admitted to the hospitals for carbon monoxide poisoning.  That's really kinda sad. For the water, it tastes fine to me, I keep accidentally using it to brush my teeth...  But we are drinking bottled water. :)

Still Sinking In

Aiden, Grief and Loss, Health Concerns, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, To new beginnings
I don't think people realize how much this storm has effected this community.  I'm grateful there are not more deaths, but it will take us a while to recover from all of this.  There's a very somber mood about. People are panicking as they run out of supplies that they hadn't thought of.  I've seen a lot of alcohol, which isn't normal to me. We need to boil water for a while, but have enough water pressure to do dishes and laundry again.  We still have a bit of bottled water though we are starting to ration the boys on that. We're still "stuck at home" and Michael and Kevin are off the school and work hook tomorrow, well unless Kevin needs to run a short update. We feel so…
