Snaggle Tooth Clayton

We had to go to the dentist today to have two teeth pulled...traumatic!! Clayton was understandably nervous. The dentist started the procedure by numbing Clayton's gums and then he got really nervous. When Dr. Fletcher pulled out the shot Clayton came unglued...again understandably so!! The dentist decided to use a little laughing gas and the procedure went much smoother!! When all was said and done Clayton jumped out of the chair and danced around the room as evidenced in the second picture. I can't say that I blame him!

Story Hour Begins

Today was the first day of story hour. Jack has been so excited, but once we got there he put on his serious face. At the beginning of every year Mrs. Donna arranges for all of us to ride a school bus. I told Jack we would be doing this and he has been beside himself. Toward the end of the bus ride he gave a big smile. I think it's the biggest smile I've seen from him while at story hour!



After we finished story hour we headed to McDonald's with several of our friends. One of our friends, Lee, from last year started preschool this year so he does not get to come to story hour anymore. Lee and his mom Stacy came into McDonald's to meet us for lunch and Lee had on a new shirt...I'm a big brother!! The Hayes are having a baby!!!!!!!!! We are so excited for them! Andrew needs a playmate!!

Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon

We headed to Murfreesboro this weekend to support Fred as he competed in the Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon. He swam 300 meters, rode his bike 16.5 miles and ran 3 miles. He finished with one of his best times-1 hour, 27 minutes and 47 seconds...but who's counting?!?! Way to go Fred! Below Fred is waiting his turn to start the swim. Can you see him? He's the big guy in the pool.



Since we were in Murfreesboro we stayed with my brother's family. While I don't have any pictures of the time we got to spend together we had the best time visiting together! Thanks Jeff and Paige for a great weekend and wonderful dinner Friday night!

Geocaching!

Tonight, Jennifer (and Andrew), Jack, Clayton and I did a little geocaching! I told the boys we were going on a secret treasure hunt and they were all about it. We got within the vicinity of our "hidden treasures" and followed the GPS until we found them. It really was a lot of fun!

Ice Cream Truck

On a recent trip to Jackson at Aunt Janice and Mun's house we looked out the front door and guess what was coming down the street...the ice cream truck!! Of course Aunt Janice took money out her pocket and we were golden!! How exciting!! Treats for everyone!

New Sunday School Classes

Sunday at church was the day the boys both went to new Sunday School classes. Clayton moved up with the school kids and Jack moved from the nursery to the preschool class. Jack was too cool for me to get his picture. I quickly snapped Clayton's picture so as not to embarrass him or any of this classmates. They both had the best time. We are so blessed to have teachers who love our boys enough to teach them about Jesus!

First Cub Scout Meeting

Clayton had his first Cub Scout meeting last week. He learned all kinds of new things. Jack even got to go. Mrs. Kathy was helping lead the meeting and had all the boys introduce themselves and tell what they were excited about in Cub Scouts. After Clayton took his turn Jack hopped up and said his name and why he was excited about being a Cub Scout just like Clayton.
