6 of 6

This was a tag from my sister. You pick the 6th pic out of your 6th file and post it. Then tag 6 of your friends to do the same. This is a pretty recent pic. It was Jordan's birthday and we went to hit a couple buckets of balls at the local golf course. Cute little golfers!


We had a pretty yucky day today. Ben has had a toothache for the past 2 days so he went to the dentist this morning. They gave him some antibiotics and pain killer and told him to wait a week or two before going to see an endodontist. The pain killers weren't working so he called the endo and went in today. He had an apioectomy where they cut his gum open, "drained" the abscess and cut off the end of his tooth to help ensure it doesn't happen again. The problem is the endodontist didn't find nearly as much pus as he anticipated and Ben really hasn't had much pain relief so I'm afraid we are still going to have to do something else. I suggested that we to both teeth while we were in there (he has 2 root canals right together) but the doctor was confident that he knew which tooth was causing the problem. After not finding very much infection and not producing much pain relief (and after stitching it all closed) he said, "hmm maybe we should've done em both." Grrrr. Oh well, we'll just hope for the best. He did let me sit in the room for the whole procedure but between him, the assistant and all their equipment I really didn't get to see a whole lot.
Anyway, I am tagging Erica, Katy, Meloni, Mindi, Audrey and Melanie.

It's pinewood derby time

Jordan got to do his first pinewood derby! (with Ben's help of course) After much procrastination it actually went together pretty quickly.


Here's how it turned out:
I had class so I didn't get to go to the race :(
They raced each car against each other a couple of times. . .
Jordan's car won second place for the whole pack!

Weekend with the family

Last weekend my cousin's son got baptized and it was the first weekend my aunt and uncle had been on this continent for a while so we all got together for a fun family lunch. Here is a picture of all of the girls that were there. I think this is all of grandma Clayton's grand daughters except for Maren and Beverly! It was fun to get to see everyone!



And here is my sweet grandma!

I looked out the window and what did I see?


We are supposed to get 2 - 5 inches today. The sad thing is Abby was supposed to get to go be in the high five line at the U of U women's soccer game today, play a scrimmage game at half time and meet the girls after. :( Oh well, they said we can go to the next home game (if there is one) but we may not get to do every thing they were going to do today. I guess I should but up a new background huh?

Real Salt Lake

We got to go to the inaugural game for Real SL in their new stadium. They played the New York Red Bulls and tied but not before one of the Bulls was ejected for kicking one of our guys in the head. I was suprised at how rough NY played! It was pretty cold but the kids all loved it! There were fireworks, tv crews and the governor who happened to arrive just as we did. Here are some pics:
