Face plant on concrete!


No, these aren't police pictures of Dylan after he got arrested in a bar fight. This is the result of what happens when Dylan plays basketball and messes around with older kids. One Sunday he was playing basketball with our friends Jake and Max Roush. Jake is 16 and was tall enough to hold Dylan up to touch the rim of the basketball hoop. So Dylan was holding onto the basketball hoop and Jake was holding his legs so he looked like he was flying which made him horizontal. Dylan was holding onto the hoop but his arms got tired and he couldn't hold on any longer so he let go. He went down and hit the cement face first. Blood was everywhere and his face was pretty messed up. 

I was really nervous about his teeth. He teeth were bleeding and his mouth was really in bad shape. He finally lost his front tooth that was dead from an incident that he had when he was one years old when he fell in the bathtub and hit his tooth on the tub and it killed his tooth. He had a brown tooth in his mouth for about 5 years and finally lost it and had his adult teeth come in when this incident occured. I couldn't believe it! He is destined to have dead teeth in his mouth! But, I took him to a dentist in our ward to check out his front teeth and he said he would be just fine. 
So, this is what Dylan looked like the next day! 

Aaaahhh, he has a face only a mother can love!
