Toothless

Yes, 'toothless' was the name of the fearsome dragon in the movie 'How to Train your Dragon' but we are also using that nickname for Nolan this week.  On Tuesday, he lost 3 teeth all between the time of 2pm and 8pm. He was so excited! 

After a trip,to the dentist today, the doc told him he has another wiggly tooth on the bottom. Tonight, before bedtime, he worked that thing right out! Now, he's saying that it hurts and feels weird. Well, duh! It wasn't really ready to come out and now he has about zero teeth on the right side of his mouth to chew on. Let's see how lunch goes tomorrow! Silly boy. 

Spring Break '16

Well, it wasn't a crazy Panama City airbrush barefoot fest, but the boys really had an awesome time on their week off. They started in Athens for a few days gallivanting around with Jammy and Grandy. Hitting up their usual stomping grounds like Chuck E Cheeses but also spending time on 'grandma's' farm. Swings, tractors, golf carts and baby chickens were all the rage!

Todd spent an entire day at the Master's on Tuesday rubbing elbows with all the famous golf folk. No pictures were allowed, or cell phones for that matter, but he did bring home several cups!

The last part of the week, Casey and I took our boys to the quiet coast of South Carolina to Surfside Beach about 30 minutes south of Myrtle. The wind was a little more than we would have wished for and the water chilly but the sun was out and the 3 boys had fun crashing the waves, digging holes, picking up seashells, kicking soccer balls, flying kites and running all around. 

Giddy up, Cowboys!

The Athens rodeo was in full swing last weekend and the McLure's headed to the Ag-center to check and see what it's all about. Having never been to a rodeo before, I wasn't 100% sure what to expect. I mean, the obvious bull riding and cattle roping, sure, but the people watching was the best part. Apparently this is the olarfest rodeo in the south put on by college students. They did an awesome job and we got our money's worth!

Strapping young chaps

Spring pictures came back and the boys look as handsome as ever!

Reptile's R Us

My co-worker went out of town for a long weekend and I volunteered to pet-sit her bearded dragon. His name is Trouble and I think Polly had more fun trying to figure out what it was than the boys did actually playing with or touching it. When we returned the lizard to it's owners, she said there were bite marks in the cage lid. Seems like Polly was trying to get a midnight snack! She was constantly staring at the thing when we weren't looking. It was hilarious!

Here comes Peter Cottontail

So, the Springster pics from the McLure's are a bit late this year, but we did dye eggs and the bunny came for a visit. We had a huge dinner at Nana and Poppa's complete with 2/3rds of the in-laws and great times had by all. Cheers to spring!
