Dental Assistant School

So a few of my fb friends are wondering how I even got started with Dental Assistant School. Anyway this is how it happened since the beging of the year I have been looking for work. I wanted to do something with childcare so I could bring Lilly with me and since I have so much experience working with children, but none of the places I went hired me. So I started praying about what I should do and I had a strong erge that I should do something in the dental field which is funny considering how bad my teeth are were.

Then about a week later I called my 3rd eldest sister and we were talking about jobs and how frustrated I was that I couldn't find anything and then I told her that I was thinking about becoming a dental hygenist but the classes took to long and I need to find something fast because I really need to get out of my in-laws house. Anyway my sister told me that her friend how is a dental assistant was going to be teaching a 10 week Saturday only class starting April 2, this was mid-March so I was thinking it was to late to get in but I did!

So far I'm doing pretty well I have made 93's on both tests so far, and aced my homework (eventhough they haven't taken it up). I really enjoy the lab section and all the "hands-on" training. Last week my group took x-rays the week before that we took molds of our teeth its a lot of fun. Its kinda funny I can't look at a person's mouth with out thinking in dental terms.

In lecture the second week I got told to "give the other students a chance to answer." But they didn't know the answer or didn't want to answer so I answered. I feel like the other students think I'm trying to show off, but really I'm just excited that I actually know the answer, I don't always feel smart so its a big self-esteem boost to know something.

Anyway I really love school and I'm so happy to be learning something new it is oddly so much fun, I mean really who would of thought I would enjoy sticking my fingers in other people's mouths?!



Froberg's Farm

We had a wonderful afternoom strawberry picking at Froberg's Farm. The weather was great! We picked 15 pounds of strawberries. Froberg's is in Alvin, TX it is open from 9am till 6pm everyday except holidays.

Lilly wouldn't let go of the basket, not even when it got full and weighed 5 pounds!

One half full basket of strawberries!

I love this tree!

Me berry picking in the field.

One almost full basket!

The SWEETEST strawberry of all!

Go Jimmer, and The Rest of the BYU team!

 "You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory—victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival." Winston Churchill

My family will definately be watching the game today! Maybe I can even get Lilly to say "Go Jimmer!" again.

My Creations

Lately I've been keeping busy by creating things. I've been making shoes and dresses and scrapbooking.

I made these for my newest nephew.

I'm thinking about making more shoes and other baby things to sell on etsy. I've also made two covers for kindles, I'm also working on a quilt for Christmas (I've been working on it since Christmas 2008) hopefully I'll get it done before this Christmas.

I have also designed a rocking giraffe and elephant, my father-in-law built them and I painted them. Unfortunately the computer that has the elephant pictures is having problems so I can't add a photo of it.

Painting the giraffe.

Lilly on the giraffe, getting tired.

I'm also going to be making the flower girl dresses for one of my best friend's wedding. Lilly and my friends daughter are going to be the flower girls.



This one's For Kimmie

My good friend Kimmie told me I should start a blog about two years ago at the time I thought I don't have time for that! Now I have even less time, but writting seems like a great way to relax and I get to share the funny things that go on in my home with the world. I have a 19 month old girl who is learning something new every day.

Here is my girl that is always keeping me on my toes!
