Why Me?!!!

I have come to the conclusion that as long as I am the wife of a dental student I will be a guinea pig for the rest of my life...aren't you jealous? Brett's dental class began seeing their first patients this last week and, lucky me, I got to be Brett's first patient. I guess I should refer to him as "Dr. Flaherty" (so weird) because he kept calling me "ma'm" through the whole procedure. I was trying really hard not to laugh the whole time because he was acting all serious and I just thought it was hilarious. In fact, these pics are from him using this crazy contraption to take impressions of my mouth. Some of his buddies were hanging around watching him make a fool out of me and taking pics all the while. Well, when he was about to put that gross goop in my mouth for the upper teeth impression his buddy made a joke and I just busted out laughing. It was one of those moments where I couldn't stop laughing and tears were streaming down my face, while Brett is begging me to stop laughing and sit still, so he could get the impression. Unfortunately, he couldn't make the impression and instead had made a mess of everything. He blamed me for ruining it, but I blame his friend for making me laugh. Anyways, it was kind of a long process being at the dental school and Brett's first actual patient, but fun to have my hubby doing what he loves and to experience it with him. I promise he will be a really good dentist in a couple of years:)



Doesn't this look like so much fun? I sure look excited in this pic, huh?

Bradock asleep during one of the General Conference sessions. Actually, this little kid has started a bad habit and took a nap during pretty much every session that came on.

This is a random pic of Raylee. She is a crawling machine and probably wishes she could walk already. She is in to everything and can't seem to sit still for nothing.

You are such a good sport! After hearing all the stories from Brett and Stan I'm not so sure I'm up for it! No, I'm sure I'll go in after all this pregnancy stuff is done with :)

I love your "experience" as Brett's first patient, so funny! I'm sure you'll get plenty more chances to be a serioius patient for him :)! I'm sad that Ellah wasn't feeling good because it would have been so much fun to hang out on Friday. Do you want to come do your pics this week maybe?? We'll talk soon and figure out when...

Hey sis! What's up? How´s life? I'm just here, in Managua, you know. I'm having so much fun and I promise I will call you I just need to find a spare minute! We've been super busy and we've had to do a lot of things! I think Mom gets upset because I can't talk for an hour! Donnie, I have a favor to ask of you. I think on my flashdrive that you guys still have I saved a copy of my resumé. Do you think there is any way you could access it and send it to me by email? I hate to bother you especially since this is the first email I've written you but I really need that document. Thanks so much! I have to get back to work now but I'll call you soon! Love you Donnie.
