The boys were at the dentist this week.  Jbird has not lost a tooth yet (although several are loose) and I was a little curious about it.  Well, the dentist told me he has one tooth that has to come out ASAP.  The adult tooth has already broken the gum and we need to get the baby tooth out so the adult tooth can move forward.  Well, JR tried the other day to get it out with pliers, but it did not work.  I will give the tooth a few more days and if we can't get it out, will be making a short visit back to the dentist.  One of the boys has 2 cavities.  Uugghh.  The dental hygienist said it is time to take on the battle of brushing the teeth!  So, we are back to teeth brushing 101 at our house.

The other day I came home and found JR cutting up an elk.  Was a little surprised since hunting season is over.  Turns out a semi hit 5 elk the other night and did not stop.  The elk were all wounded.  The sheriff found out about it and had to go put the elk down.  The deputies called a former deputy who hunts.  This deputy hauled off one of the animals (the one easiest to salvage).  He in turn called JR to see if he wanted half of it.  Boy, is it good meat.  I always love when God provides in such crazy, out of the box ways!

JB continues to amaze the therapists.  Such a hard worker.  When he is talking and I don't know the context, I can still understand him about 95% of the time.  He is making up for lost time, just always chatting away.

B brought home a robotic kit to prepare for his robotic 4H demonstration tonight.  We get to keep the kit for the week, so all the boys are excited to play with it over the next couple of days.  I will have to check in to what kind of kits can be bought.  They will all spend hours creating.  I also came across a website recent that teaches kids how to do programming coding and create their own video games online.  Some great gift ideas.

JR and I are getting away for an impromptu overnight tomorrow.  Some friends are gonna watch the boys.  JR is looking for a 'new' business truck, so that is one of the things we are searching for this weekend.  He is leaving in a few weeks to drive down to Texas to hunt wild hogs.  He is so excited..calling it a dream vacation.  He will have about 5-7 days to walk around some private property with a gun and shoot whatever he can find.  He will be doing some night hunting, which will be a first for him.

Off to clean the house.
