So the girls had dentist appointments today. Hope had her first cleaning a few weeks ago and she did great. What a big girl she was. She let them take x-rays on the front of her teeth and everything. I think it was awesome for being 4 years old. Bad thing she had a cavity.
:-( so today she had it filled. Once again she did really well. They gave her happy gas but she really did not like wearing the "pig nose" so after they numbed her they took it off. They told her they were putting her sugar buds to sleep and of course she never knew she was getting a shot at all. She said ouch a few times but over all I think it was great. They have a tv she can watch over her head and when we were waiting for her mouth to numb when she still had the gas on she was talking about all these weird thing we had no clue what she was saying. I am really ticked at myself I really wanted to take my camera & even woke up in the middle of the night to think about it & of course I forgot. Bummer. Tymber has 1 very small cavity she needs filled next week other then that everything is great with her. Autumn has absolutely beautiful teeth. She has never had a cavity the stinker and she really doesn't brush as often or as good as she should. Her teeth are really strait and she has a little overbite but not much. Her 2 side teeth have a little space in between & they said if it bothers her she could do braces, but I don't think so. It would all be purely cosmetic & she really does not need it. I can't see going thru the expense and pain for something that isn't even crooked.
It is dang cold here today. Minus 9 when we woke up and right now it is about 8 outside. high today is 15. Yuck I hate the cold. Makes me glad my errands are done and I have the next 2 days off. I can snuggle in and get some cleaning done, maybe something in my scrapbook room organized and play with Hope. Stay warm friends & family.

I Like to hear myself talk
First off I should be working but my computer is against me today so I had to take the rest of the day off (what a shame) after wasting most of my morning. So I figured I would do something useful like blog, better to be productive then do something unproductive like clean house or laundry.
Anyways I really like to hear myself talk, I have come to this important conclusion because it must be true. I talk and talk and talk and yell and get mad and guess what NOBODY listens to me. Yep that is right nobody can hear me. My kids have air between their ears I think. Well, right now just the oldest but that tends to change on a daily basis. Autumn gets her report card and what do I see but a C- in Math ok I can deal with a C- because she really has a tough time with Math and I hate math so I "get it" even though I am just a mom & she thinks I don't understand. Not going to bust her chops about the C- UNTIL I get the progress report from her teacher later that night telling me she has 11 count the 11 missing assignments in this one class. What?Excuse me? 11 missing assignments what the crap. So her and I have come to this great understanding, you see if she has any missing assignments this quarter in any classes her social life, that she thinks so highly of is going to end for the remaining quarter. Yep that is right, the "mean mom" is going to show up. I am writing this down because I know she will read it and even though she doesn't hear me talk she can see me write. (Sorry Autumn) (okay not really) On the other hand she got all A's and B's in the rest of her classes so WAY to Go. Oh and while I am on it she also has a 15.00 fine in the school library for a book she didn't return, what is the book you ask, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.... Ummm hello we OWN that book so why she felt like she needed to check it out and then basically I ended up buying it again with her overdue fines because she didn't want to turn it in on time... Hmmm looks like some extra jobs need done around here.. You know I love you Autumn.
Tymber had a great report card also All A's & B's. Great job Tater bug.
On to other things my nephew Jake got married today to Arli, they met at BYU she is from New Jersey and is so cute. They make a great couple. So congrats to Jake & Arli. They got married in the Washington Dc temple. I am sure it was just crazy as it is the week of the inauguration. I know Lorie had a horrible time finding lodging for them & paid dearly for it. They will have a reception here on Feb.13th after they return from their honeymoon. What a great time for them to go on a cruise we got about 6" of snow last night. Blech

My familys new blog I think
Well, I guess we will blog also. Or I should say I will blog. Hopefully this is something I will keep up with. I know it won't be an everyday thing but I know my Sister- in -Law Sondra is right & I need to blog while my children are growing. Richard and I have been married almost 20 years. Yes that is right 20 years. It will be July 7 th. Holy crap how did that happen & where did the time go? I married at the young age of 18. My oldest daughter Autumn will be 18 in 4 years. If I think of it that way WOW that is young, but you know what? I would do it all again at that age in a heartbeat. We were made for each other and our life together raising our children is a great life. Stressful at times of course but who's isn't.
Our oldest Autumn as I said is 14. She is a stinky teen and these years are going to be fun (not.) Attitude big time. But she is a lot of fun when she isn't grouchy. She could do better in school but most of it is just her being lazy. She is still a great girl (young women) and has a great faith in Heavenly Father and such a wonderful spirit about her. All of her youth leaders tell me how much they enjoy her and can really feel her spirit. What a great joy to hear as parents.
Tymber is 10.5 and she is Tymber... She is very sensitive and gets her feelings hurt easily, she has a great care for other people and shows a great concern for them and their feelings (unless her & Autumn are trying to kill each other of course) she really struggles in school and has a rough time with it, things do not come easy to her and she has always been a "beat to her own drum" kind of person. But she works SUPER hard in school and does great. Learning will never come easy to her but there are many things in life she will excel at. She is the middle child so I feel like sometimes she is lost and that is something we need to make sure doesn't happen with her. She is such a blessing to us and I believe she was given to us to remember how to laugh and have a great time. She is very fun loving and easy going and is so good at making friends very easily.
Then there is our Hope Charlie. She is 4 and wow is she the princess. She is the baby and she knows it. We are trying to not spoil her but it is hard. She is very happy all of the time and extremely easy going. She stays home with me while I work and is so good when I am working. She is quiet and plays by herself. A lot of time I feel guilty she doesn't have the time with me the other 2 girls had but I am beyond grateful to have a job at home so she is with me. She is growing way to fast and is always cracking us up. I think 4 going on 20. Some of the things she says and does amaze us. Autumn tells me "wow, it makes you wonder what she will be like as a teenager" I know she will be a handful for sure.
Rich is self employed as a contractor/sub contractor and what can I say times are tough right now. The economy is the pits and I constantly worry about making a living. I know it is a LOT of stress on him as well. We struggle with it daily but are blessed to have a nice home & food on the table for our family.
As I said I work form home, actually today is my 1 year anniversary for going back to work. It was a major shock to the family as I have pretty much been a stay at home mom for 13 years so it was a rough adjustment and I still think we struggle to find the balance. But I enjoy working and I LOVE working from home. While the job isn't always the funnest that is okay most days I don't mind it and am just grateful to have a job.
Well, that is probably it for today I guess. I will just be writing about our life & the fun things my kids say and do. We do lead a pretty boring life, so don't expect much.
