This is a test. . .

I'm blogging to see if anyone even looks at this anymore. If anyone is there, send me a sign. . .

Hi Everybody.

Mom and I went to Chicago this past weekend. Dan, Larry, and I went to a dental conference and then we spent a little time where I grew up. Wendy, Debi, and Reeta too I guess. It was way fun.

Chicago is a cool place, super nice folks, lots of museums, and we drove an awesome cherry red Dodge charger for a rental car! We went to the Navy Pier right by Lake Michigan, ran into a bunch of drunk marines that wanted to party with mom, noticed Michael Jordan was buying popcorn at the ferris wheel and came to her rescue, and Jordan and I beat up 5 of the marines and threw them in Lake Michigan. Okay, after the cherry red charger comment none of that was true.

I ran into some of my old buddies, from 40 years ago. Sunday morning we went to the house where I grew up and took some pictures. We rang the door bell of the owner but her never came out so we just cruised around the place for about 10 minutes. Finally the owner came out and got super mad. I guess it looked pretty weird that a bunch of weirdos in church clothes were casing out his house. We smoothed it over eventually.

Here's some pics.

Trip to Canada

Mom and I went to Mountain View this past week. Fun times! Better than when we went a couple of months ago at Flathead. No bears! we looked really hard. Actually I saw one but it was from far away and didn't get a good picture. Weather was awesome. Went to Mountain View cemetery. Took interesting photos of. . . dead people I guess, or at least their gravestones. Thanks for taking care of stuff for us.

Love, Paynes

two days ago it was my berth bay!  Hooray!

Saint to the George

I know these are a little late but I was just looking through my St. George pictures and thought I should share.

This is a crazy three-wheeler Marissa and I saw on our way home.  It's MASSIVE!!!

This is Marissa trying to get out of the tree she climbed up.

This is cute Jamzers eating the same ice cream that made Brookie throw up.

This is Hans, trying to be cool, with his cruiser.

This is adorable Lids in her huge hat on Zions day.

LOOK!

HI!

Faster than a speeding Bullet

Yes its true, His real identity has come out!!

Hello You Dying Blog, You!

Hello to All. St. George was fun. Reed and Megs, wish you coulda come. Just wanted to put some pics up for all to see. Glad to see Katie lived to tell the tale about her wisdom teeth. Spencer is out of town until Saturday doing some secret project in the Nevada deseret that he can't tell me about. So, as you can imagine-I am handling the children and life in general with ease, very little stress, and even excelling at being without him. Stop laughing! That's not nice. Anyway, Love to you all.

Finally...

So I know no one reads this but I'll post anyway.  After complaining about my wisdom teeth forever I am finally getting them out along with a frenectomy.  That's where they cut some stuff and remove some stuff so my two front teeth won't constantly be pushing apart.  It is scheduled for this friday and I'm am beyond terrified.  I thought about it and I have never had anything this serious.  I've never had a surgery of any kind.  I've never been put to sleep or knocked out.  I haven't even fainted...ever!  I think that's why I'm so terrified.  Plus, all I can think about is when Leanne had hers out and she laid on the couch and threw up for days and days.  That is not something I am looking forward to.   Well, it'll be a miracle if someone replies to this or even reads it but we'll see what happens.  I love you all.  

Okay, for real...

What's going on?  This thing used to be thriving but it just like all the sudden died.  I don't really have anything to say so I'll just post some funny pictures.

I'm pretty sure these were all taken and James and Kaden's birthday but I'm not sure.

Come On Stephenie Meyer!

I pulled this off Stephenie Meyer's website.  Is anyone else totally weirded out by this.  That totally doesn't look like Bella and Edward looks way creepy.  He's supposed to be just about the most beautiful thing you've ever seen and this is the best they could come up with for the movie?  Crazy!!

Braithwaite wedding

Mom and I have been in San Fransisco for the last 3 or 4 days.  We spent Wednesday night going out to dinner with Ryan and his significant other, Mark.  We had a very nice time at a cool restaurant and checked out his new appartment.  It was really nice but pretty small. a We then went to a small little town outside of San Fransisco and spent the day driving and hiking around the area.  We saw the beautiful "Muir Woods", which is a forest area of the Redwoods.  The next day we went to San Fransisco and had a great day seeing tons of sights.  Spend time at Fishermans Wharf, China Town, hiking up The Golden Gate Bridge", really fun.  We went on the ferry  and came back late that night on the ferry, it was great.  Then the next day we went to Sacramento, really Roseville, and spent the day with Braithwaites on Bents wedding.  The wedding was at 2:00 pm in the afternoon and then the evening was a reception. All good.

Mom and Dad

Moving Out!

Hey Everyone,
I will be moving out soon into my own place with not a lot of my own stuff to use...so if there's anything that would be useful to me that's just laying around your house or something I'd be happy to take it off your hands for a few months. :) I'd appreciate it. Let me know. Thanks

Bryce Canyon

Well, you should all be proud that Mom ran the 5k and so did Garrett. The run was really pretty. Bret Corbridge, Larry Braithwaite, and I ran the 1/2 marathon.  We stayed in a motel in Cannondale, Utah.  The town was pretty interesting, a little bit Utah Pioneerish.  Nice place if you like no grocery stores, horses, and polygamists.  Mom and Garrett did great.  The best part was going to the Dairy Queen on the ride home.  

Hope everyone is doing good.  

Dad
