Hi, I'm Blake A bird's gonna land on that lower lip Too into iPhone to care about his picture being taken I think the anti-whining campaign is helping Tyler.  He's been into saying naughty words, though, and our strategies of dealing with that are not that effective.  He's gonna make a great boss someday because he likes ordering people around and yelling.  Hopefully, his employees don't quit because of his temper.

Glen the Dentist and Dad

Danny's dad retired from dentistry after practicing for 34 years.  He is going on a mission for a year and sold his practice to Danny's brother in 2007 so it was time, however, bitter sweet for him to move on.  His patients made him a beautiful book of memories.  It was so neat to see and inspirational of the dentist and practice Danny aspires to have in his career.  The thing that people remembered the most was his generosity with his time, talents and success.  They remember the late night calls to come into the office and working with them to afford their care.  It was evident that his career was about the people as much as the teeth. We celebrated fathers day while we were there and it was a neat way to honor Glen as a dad, father-in-law and dentist. Here are a couple of the highlights that I remember...

 Danny's family gets together once a year for a summer vacation. This year we went to Midway in Utah which was a lot of fun.  Danny's parents are leaving on a mission tomorrow so it was extra special to be with them before they venture down to Las Vegas for a year to serve the Lord. We stayed in a cute little town called Midway.  It is of Swiss origin as you can see from the adorable chapel.  We stayed in a beautiful house on a golf course. A couple of highlights of the trip for me... The best part of the family vacations for me are for the cousins to hang out and get to be with Danny's family.  Living in California doesn't give us that much time to hang out with his family so I love talking and getting to know and learn from them.  Hiking to Cascade Springs.  The waterfalls were beautiful and company was so fun.  We didn't make it around the entire loop since it was pretty hot and my little ones would rather play in the water and look for bugs.  The highlig

Gym Classes

I have loved trying classes at the gym.  They are so much more fun for me than working out alone.  I am one who gets easily bored and lazy on my own.  In case  you didn't know, I am an extravert and enjoy being around other people which makes it fun.  Danny came with me the other day which was fun. The first time I took a class I couldn't walk or move for a couple of days.  Now I can lift a little more and don't get quite as sore so it is progress.  Now I just need to learn to eat a little healthier.  The thing about working out and nursing is that I am eating all day.  Often a ton of brownies because I am so hungry.  I know it would be good for me to eat healthier and give me more energy. I just need to get into a rountine.  Someday I will make it a goal.
