I got to go to the dentist three separate times just to get all three of three sets of teeth cleaned! Whatever works!
All got great reports…and one needs his wisdom teeth out! Fun ahead!

Dentist
Took all three kids to the dentist – in two visits. It just didn’t work to take them all at the same time but that’s life! These two went first…
then this one about two weeks later…
We also found baby Maxwell on the wall.
Great reports all around and no cavities!
checkup
Took the kids for their checkup last week! I got no pictures of any of it but we did get good reports of healthy, growing kids!
Maxwell is 5’6 (28th %) and 125 lbs (45th %). Last year he was 5’3 and 100 lbs so he definitely had some good growth and gains!
Spencer is 5’2.5 (53rd %) and 97 lbs (37th %). Last year he was 5’1 and 89 lbs so a year of slower growth for him (but the year before he had grown 3 inches!)
Samantha is 4’6.75 (25th %) and 72 lbs (27th %). I don’t know what she was last year because I forgot to ever take her to her 10 year old checkup! oops!! But, two years ago she was 4’3 and 61 lbs so she’s grown almost 4 inches in 2 years which is great. Based on her %s I do think she’s going to have a case of the GJ and Lulu short syndrome! ha! Whatever height she is she’ll be just perfect! Samantha had to get 3 shots and a finger prick which she handled better than she has in the past. I’ll take it!
Super thankful for three growing, healthy kids!
Brace face
Last week we went to the dentist on Wednesday and all got great reports!
Then on Thursday Spencer started the morning like this…
and ended it like this!
Braces! They also yanked out a baby tooth that maybe wasn’t quite ready but was good to go on and get out. Ouch! Spencer handled it all like a champ.
He also chose a nice color that not only matched his shirt but his eyes!
Straight teeth coming soon!
Bad break
Samantha had her first soccer game of the season Saturday. I was at baseball while Robert went to the soccer game. Samantha was being the soccer star she is during the first half and scored two goals. She then got tripped up with another girl in the second half and twisted her foot pretty badly. Robert said he could tell right away it wasn’t good…
It swelled up so they decided to head straight to OS1 to get some x-rays.
It was really swollen by that point.
Thankfully the x-rays showed no bone damage – just soft tissue damage. She strained the tendons and ligaments and it’s going to be sore for a while. They told her to wear a boot for a couple of weeks which means to soccer, no volleyball, no tumble. Boo. She was well taken care of while I was away at baseball all day!
It was still really sore Sunday morning – too sore to walk on. But she was able to hobble around in the boot and put those birthday crutches to good use! She even made it to dance that afternoon to watch…
Bummer but thankful it wasn’t worse.
