snaggle-tooth

The girls and I went to the dentist the other day. It was not a fabulous trip. I stayed with Gracie while she got her teeth cleaned and Lexi went to the lady in the next cubicle. I could hear the lady and Lexi talking and I heard somethings about homework, wiggling, adult tooth, baby tooth, stuff like that. When the lady and Lexi came back she was all..."She really needs to work on loosening up those bottom teeth since that one adult tooth is coming in behind it." I said oh her tooth is ready to come in, did you see that on her x-ray?" Um.... no I saw it in her mouth." I looked at Lexi and said, "really where?" I mean do you see anything?
The lady looked at me like I was stupid and said look inside.

WHAT THE CRAP? HOW DO YOU MISS THAT?
Seriously, I felt so stupid. Lately Lexi has been so upset that she didn't have any loose teeth and occasionally I would try to wiggle some of her front teeth, but apparently I never really looked at her mouth. AWESOME! What's even better was then I was really looking at her and noticed that under her fingernails that she was using to wiggle her tooth were filled with dirt. I can only imagine what those dental hygienists were thinking about my parenting skills!!
So, in a few weeks if Lexi doesn't wiggle that tooth out (which she won't it is barely moving right now) then we have to go back in for the dentist to pull it-good times. But I guess we will just have to make a day of it since Gracie has a cavity too. Yea!
You know what else I love, is how crooked that tooth is coming in and how the dentist says she has a really small mouth and she will have to have some teeth pulled just so they can all fit--even better!!

A day at Tim's Ford Lake

While we were in TN we took one take and rented a boat out on Tim's Ford Lake. The boat we had didn't go all that fast so it was perfect for the little kids.

Oops again...it is important to note that no one was hurt while participating in the activities.

Captain Shane, Vic, and a lurker ;-)
Girl on a boat say WHAT?
Lexi and Hillary
Vicki giving Lexi knee board instructions.
Waiting....notice the strap that was the culprit.
The take off...a half a second after this was taken she went under, her feet went forward somehow under the strap and she was caught with the knee board on her head. She was very scared, but all was well.
Dude, for real stop splashing me.....
The girls...
Lee Lee!!!! ;-)
Brave girl Hillary
