Clara Lost Her First Tooth Today

Cavity Free June 2015

Cavity-Free Crew

Last week we all hit the dentist.  Fortunately, there were not cavities.  In traditional fashion, I present you with a cavity-free selfie.

The not-so-good news is that it is time to head back to the orthodontist!

Not So Cavity Free...

We made our semi-annual visit to the dentist yesterday and I almost forgot to take a picture!  Can you believe the horror!  It has sort of become a tradition for me to post a post-dental visit picture to the blog.

Unfortunately, Mr Isaac had a cavity, so he was ostracized from our "cavity-free" picture this time.  Better luck brushing next time bud!

Here is the cavity-free crew, a little blurry, showing off their teeth.

Super proud of Clara for actually letting the hygienist clean her teeth this time!

cavity free!

the last couple of days

beautiful teeth with no cavities!!  that's right.... no cavities.  we all (minus dad) visited the dentist yesterday and i am happy to report that there is not a cavity among us.  we commemorated the event with a post-dental photo in the car.

then we went home and enjoyed dinner followed by an excellent fhe lesson given by jared.  the lesson was about how heavenly father and jesus christ love each of us.  he does the lesson about once a month from the nursery manual, "behold your little ones".  i got the idea for this here.  it has taken him a couple few lessons but he is finally getting the hang of how to teach a lesson.  isaac has been asking for a turn to teach as well.

this past sunday while eating dinner, apparently clara decided she had had enough of us and with mouth full of food plugged her ears and started humming.  that girl is gonna be the death of me.

and just in case you need a reason to be grateful today, at least this isn't your car.  now that would ruin your day!

no more braces.... at least for now

jared got his braces off and his spacer taken out yesterday. i think i was more excited than he was. i was so ready for him to talk normally again and to not have a lot of spit rolling around in his mouth (i know, gross! but it's true).

brace face - metal mouth

also in may, jared got braces on his top front teeth. jared was so excited to get braces and showed them off to everyone. it is amazing how much they straightened out in just a week's time.

thankfully (not!), nathan taught isaac that brace face - metal mouth is what you call someone who has braces.
