David After Dentist

This is one of my favorite youtube videos of all time.  This little boy just got back from the dentist...

I HATE teeth!

...seriously!  Why do we need them?!  I mean, hasn't modern technology thought of a better way yet?!  We can send people to the moon, talk face-to-face with people in Tokyo, and travel by plane, but we can't live without teeth?! 

Well, I thought I could.  In fact, when my dentist told me I needed my root canal "redone," my first response was "just pull the damn thing!"  ...and then he told me that if he did, he would have to drill a titanium screw into my jaw to replace the gap that would be left.  So...I waited...and waited...about 5 years...then it got infected...and I waited a little longer...

Then, last Monday (6+ years later), I FINALLY got it done.  I was really proud of myself.  I have an insane fear of dentists.  I was injured by one when I was about 12, and since then, I have been a big wuss!

Do you honestly blame me?!  Who wouldn't be afraid of this?! 

...right?!  Is it crazy that I am afraid of this?!  Cuz apparently, my Endodontist thought I was unnecessarily stressed out...I guess most people don't turn white, shake uncontrollably and grip the dental seat.  Humm...

Well...anyway...now I am currently on antibiotics to kill the infection, then I will get my crown on Monday.  And to think...all of this fun will ONLY cost me $2,000!  What a DEAL!!!(NOT!)

...and, we're back!

Happy New Year!  I am back, and have decided that one of my many resolutions is to keep up on my blog.  So...here goes nothing!  Stay tuned...

Kristin's Annual Birthday/Bowling Extravaganza!

The day after Christmas, my family has an annual bowling tournament...boys against girls! We started the day off by heading over to the portrait studio to get family pictures taken. It was the first time, in a VERY long time, that the Reid B. Pearce family was all together. We were able to get a few really great pictures.

After getting our pictures taken, we headed over to have lunch. After lunch we went to the bowling alley. We had three lanes...one for the boys, one for the girls, and one for the kiddos! As usual, the boys won, but it was probably because they always cheat! LoL! j.k.!

Christmas Evening...

Christmas evening was spent at my Aunt Terri's house. We had dinner at her house and waited for my cousin Katie and her family to come down from Idaho Falls. They hadn't celebrated Christmas with us yet, so her kids got to open all of their presents from everyone. It was a lot of fun watching them! Afterward, we played bunko. I wasn't very good, but it was fun anyway!

Christmas Day!

We woke up Christmas morning and headed over to my Aunt Cindy's again. It is always a lot of fun to have breakfast at her house. Dan, Danika, and Luke came over from Layton, Cory, Kristin, Braden and Will came from home, and Jenni was already there. It is always so much fun being in a house full of family! :)
