1. 10 years ago...
I was 15, just finishing up my 9^th grade year at Canyon View Junior High. I was on cloud nine because my friend Alison had just come home from a semester in Spain. I was feeling cooler than I’m sure I actually was, going to “9^th Grade Night Dances”, and having serious crushes on boys. On any given day you could find me (and Alison and probably Lindsey) wearing one of my many striped Limited II shirts. They were seriously cool.

2. 5 things on my to do list today...
Make dinner, watch our current Netflix movie so we can get this one asap, send various emails, call my family, plan my week with Ty.

3. Snacks I enjoy...
Teddy Grahams, pears, cheese, chocolate...

4. What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire...
Pay off our student loans thus far, buy a house next year wherever we end up doing our residency, buy 2 new cars next year after we leave Boston (Boston is not the place for new cars!), buy something great for our parents, treat ourselves to a fabulous graduation vacation…help the poor...yaddah yaddah...the list can go on and on. :)

5. 5 places I have lived...
Honolulu, Orem, Provo, London (for 3 months), Boston

6. 5 jobs I have had...
Hogi Yogi, Copper Rivet (Best job ever!!), Mimi’s Café (Did you get the "Mee mee mee mee" title? How embarrassing was that!?), Elase Medical Spa, ENT office receptionist.

7. 3 of my bad habits...
I make plans in my head without telling anyone. When they don’t happen, I get sad, frustrated or bugged.

I pile things to “find a place for later.” Have you seen my house? It’s full of piles.

I talk to Ty while he is on the phone. I tell him what to say and I ask him questions about what the person he is talking to is saying.

8. 5 random things people don't know about me...
I shake my leg while I brush my teeth. Nervous habit? I need to use the bathroom? No idea. But I’ve done it ever since I can remember.

I love to run errands. Any excuse to go to Target or anywhere, I’m all over it.

Even if it is 101 degrees outside, I would happily drink a cup of hot chocolate. When I turned 12 and went into Young Women’s, my mom had to make up a rhyme about me and bring something for the other girls to remember me by. “Winter, Summer, Spring, or Fall. It’s my favorite drink of all.” She brought Swiss Miss for everyone.

I can remember the song lyrics to almost any song I have ever heard, but I can’t for the life of me tell you anything I ever read in any of my text books.

I wish I could have been on Broadway—or at least that I did drama in High School. I can’t sing, or dance for that matter, but I love to pretend I can. I will take any chance I get to sing show tunes and dance around the house, especially if there is a set of stairs I can dance down…even if those stairs happen to be an inappropriate place, right Ty?

9. 5 people I tag...
Anyone who wants to be.

We heart Mr. B

If you haven't been to Mr. Bartley's, you must.
Thanks for posting about it Andrea! We went today for lunch and fell in love.

Some Birthday Love

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!
We love you!
Ty, Megs & Mckinlay

Easter Egg Love

Here are a few highlights from our Easter weekend:
Mckinlay had her first Easter egg hunt. She picked up two eggs and then she wouldn't let them go. She was not going to put them into her basket and she was getting super frustrated because she couldn't hold more than one egg in each hand!
So, Ty helped her out a little. And someone fell in love with her new fairy wings.
Saturday night Pauly and Mckinlay discovered the joys of eating sour warheads. Remember those? I totally remember having contests with Brennan to see who could keep them in their mouths the longest. Good times. And now my child is making similar memories.


I always love Easter Sunday! Church is always extra special and the sun always shines on Easter. We had a fabulous dinner at the Fillmores! Thank you Melanie and props to Jonathan on his fancy cake skills!
And apparently the Easter egg novelty hadn't worn off yet. She played with one in each hand again all day. She even took one to bed with her.
Hope you all had a fabulous Easter! We had a wonderful day relaxing, spending time together and reflecting on our love for the Savior.
Happy Spring!

Spring Break!

We just got back from a great spring break week in Kentucky/Ohio! B and Alli (my brother and sister-in-law) live in Kentucky right on the border of the two states (15 mins from Cincinnati). Ty did and oral surgery externsip at Ohio State University for part of the week while Mckinlay and I stayed with the McKBrennans. However, it was quite the ordeal getting there. Last weekend the Ohio area had the biggest snow storm they have had in 40 years! We left Boston last Saturday morning at 6am and flew to Detroit where we were supposed to catch a flight to Dayton, OH. Long story short--we were re-routed 4 times and ended up flying to Louisville (which when pronounced correctly you sound like your mouth is full of marbles) and staying in a hotel (thanks B!) over night until the roads were clear enough for B to drive down and pick us up the next day. Because of all our re-routing, we were the Luggageless Lovelesses until Monday night at 10 pm. Ty was supposed to be at his externship Monday morning at 6am, but couldn't go with his stuff. So I drove him up to Columbus ( a 2 and a 1/2 hour drive) at 4 am on Tuesday morning. Although we never want to look at the clothes we wore for three days in a row again, we got to go on a shopping spree courtesy of Northwest Airlines. They said they would reimburse us up to $150 for the 3 days we didn't have our luggage. So, instead of buying things we needed for those few days, we bought Mckinlay's summer clothes, a new dress and shoes for me and new slacks and a belt of Ty! Oh how we love Target! We would highly recommend a luggage delay if in need of a few things to spruce up the wardrobe.

Since we got Ty for an extra day we were able to go to the fabulous Children's Museum together. Thanks for lending Mckinlay your darling outfit Addy-Lou! Otherwise she would have had to go in her pink jammies!
Alli and I went to Jungle Jim's. It is a huge foodie's market with all foods foreign (Except for my luscious Kinder Bueno's! The sign was there, but no hazelnut goodness to be found.).We went to a horse race at Turfway Park because would it have been a real trip to Kentucky without going!? There was lots of poop, lots of cigar smoke and lots of thick accents. It was great!
Did I mention Mckinlay got Pink Eye? Poor sad-eyed little girl.
I think my favorite place we went was the Krohn Conservatory in Cincaniti. We went on Saturday when the men could join us. It was an awesome greenhouse with several rooms. It felt like Hawaii when we walked in. I think I could have spent all day in there. Ty is now convinced we need a green house of the same caliber, but on a smaller scale in in our house one day. I told him to add it to the list.
That afternoon we went to Newport on the Levee for some good eats and a great view of the river.
Mckinlay has turned into "super walker girl" and is loving the independence and freedom. She has discovered how fun it is to run in and out of dressing rooms, under roped areas, and under clothing racks. But she still can't pass up the opportunity to hold her daddy's hand.
Thanks for a great time B, Alli and Addy. We love you and all the great food we had. :) Start placing your requests for your Boston trip!
Forget the greenhouse feeling like Hawaii! I think our pasty selves all could use a trip to Hawaii! Hee hee. (Sorry for the crappy picture. It's the only one of all of us.)
And I gotta post this darling pic of my cute litle peanut Addy-Lou. What a baby doll!

Dr. Loveless in action

Ty's 3:00 patient canceled yesterday so he called me up and told me he found a classmate of his to watch Mckinlay if I wanted to come in for a cleaning. YES! I haven't had a dental cleaning since the summer before we got married while I was still on my parent's insurance! So I desperately needed it.

We got to the clinic, I sat down in the chair and Ty passed Mckinlay off to a couple of girls in his class. She started crying but we told them if they left the room and she couldn't see us she would probably be fine. WRONG! Half and hour later, bless their hearts, they come back in with a sobbing, splotchy red faced Mckinlay who had apparently not stopped crying as soon as we were out of site. So she spent the appointment as Daddy's assistant.
She just sat there and smiled and laughed. Do you think she will do this again when I go back and get my HUGE cavity filled? Maybe that is pressing our luck.

It was so fun seeing Ty is action. He is one cute little dentist. I can see why one of his patients has a crush on him. But as cute as he is, should I be nervous about letting him fill my cavity? I'll keep you posted on how that goes.Only teasing Ty. We all know how confident you are with your dental hand skills. I have complete faith in your confidence babe.
