Meet Dr. David

A Dentist for the Entire Family

Dr. David graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine (SIU-SDM) in Alton in June of 1998.  David joined his father at the dental practice in Edwardsville.  Ken has been practicing in Edwardsville since 1968.  David married Julie Grizzle in November 1998. 

William Kenneth Hyten was born March of 2002.    Benjamin Jeffrey and Thomas David were born in October of 2003.  Take a look at Will's 2nd birthday party.  It is a struggle for sure to get them in a picture!  The boys turned 6 months right after that... they are getting so big!

Happy family in Alabama 2005
Thomas, Ben and Will (l-r)
My boys are growing up fast. Will (5) started kindergarten this year. Ben and Thomas (4, twins) go to school for a half day, too. Tumbling, tennis, soccer, swimming and art classes keep us hopping.

We had a great trip to Disney and Orlando in April, 2007. The boys were amazed by Shamu and Sea World.  We are headed back to Florida in March, 2008.

Dr. David is now a runner. I ran the Michelob Light St. Louis St. Patrick's Day 2007 5 Mile run. I finsished in under 50 minutes (my goal). I ran the whole way and had a lot of fun. If it looks cold in the picture, you are right. It was 38 degrees and there were snow flurries!

I hope to complete a 10K someday.

The running has led to an invitation to play indoor soccer.  I have scored 3 goals so far.  Check out our soccer team, Byron-Gerber Trojan FC at BGPK.

The amazing football season of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini ended in Pasadena, California.  I was lucky enough to attend the 2008 ROSE BOWL with my friends, Eric Cremer and Chris Byron.  We had a great time.  USC won, but Illinois fans got quite a surprise finish to the season.  Big Ten MVP, Reshad Mendenhall, put a charge in the crowd with a long touchdown run after halftime, but Illinois never threatened after that.

The Hyten family has been in Edwardsville for over 100 years.  We have been rooting for the Illini for nearly that long, too.

Julie and Dr. Dave enjoy traveling to Las Vegas, Orlando and the beach. 

 

We just took the three boys to Gulf Shores, AL.  We had a blast.  The clean up from the hurricaine 6 months previous was on-going.  Check back for pics of the boys from Alabama.

 

Our Trip To Oregon
Two dentists at Bandon Dunes
Dr. David and Dr. Ken

I had a great trip to Bandon, Oregon in September of 2006.  Dad took his three boys to a fantastic golf club on the Pacific Ocean.  The three courses were each fantastic.  Two courses, Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes had many holes that played right on the ocean.

We played 10 rounds in the five days we were there.  Steven had the only round under par. 

Brother Steven had the best average for the trip, but Dr. David dominated the daily games.  I think Dr. Ken had the highest average, but he had the most fun.

A truly 'once-in-a-lifetime' trip.  It was a great thrill.
