Winter Wonderland

It has been snowing all day.  Everything is SO white.  Sadly I think we are going to have to get on the roof and shovel if this keeps up.  I had a fun time using the snowblower and shoveling tonight.  The boys offered to help, but sometime I just enjoy it.

Turkey Day

 I should have got one with Laura standing up since this is probably the last babybelly picture I will get.  Next picture should have a sweet baby boy in it.

 Hunter was a little tired when they first got here.  He was lovin' on the teddy bear.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving.  I didn't get very many pictures, but here is a few of them.

Snow, Broken Yukon, and Freezin'

 Hard to get the picture thru the window.  The boys are building a wall around the trampoline for a fort.

 Tucker posing for me.

 Ethan running so I can't get a picture of him.  TURD!

 My yukon quit yesterday right in the middle of Diagnal Rd.  Thankfully it was right by Lawrence and Penny's.  Uncle Lawrence towed me off the road and Rusty and Bryan came and towed it home.  They think it is the fuel pump.  Sunset came and towed it to Robeaux's this morning.

 It is REALLY COLD here.  The boys both slept down by the fireplace to keep warm.

Snow

The snow is clear up the Bella's belly already.  

Surprise Visit

My friend, Jen, that I used to baby-sit stopped by unexpectedly yesterday for a short visit.  What a wonderful surprise.  We had a nice visit and I played with Talon too.  What a cutie!

Talon had great time trying on Ethan's huge shoes and taking my books to Jen and then putting them away.  Who needs toys?

Road Trip

Rusty went with his friend, Kelly to Sheridon, Wyoming to clean out some storage unit.  They are bringing back some antiques and a 69 Mustang.

 Snowy roads-  That one is sideways for some reason.

Report Card Time

Tucker brought his report card home today.  All A's, except for a B+ in Reading.  He did have the comment:  that the focus needs to be on handwriting this year.  lol  He has horrible handwriting.  I can't tell you how many arguments we had over handwriting.  Glad someone else gets to "get on him" about it.  His handwriting is much better than it was and it still "needs improvement."   Conferences are next week.

U of I vs. BSU

Rusty and Tucker had a good time at the game last night even if U of I got killed.  Tucker thought the dome was awesome.  

Veteran's Day Assembly

Garwood put on two assemblies/concerts today for Veteran's Day.  The 3rd-6th graders sang songs and the 1st and 2nd graders made cards and pictures for the all the Veteran's in attendance.  It was a nice concert.

The girl on Tucker's left (on right looking at it) is Maryinda.  They have a crush on each other.  She was so cute after the concert and came up on introduced herself to me.  She seems like a sweet girl, but I told Tucker NO girlfriends yet.  I AM SO NOT ready for that.  I am much better with babies and toddlers.  lol
P.S Permission was granted from Tucker prior to posting.  (;

Birthday Party

Tucker put his candles in the shape of a T.

 U of I and BSU are playing for the last time on Friday. Rusty wanted to go to the game, but the tickets have been sold out since September.  I have watched Craigslist, but couldn't find any.  Anyhow, Rusty had a buddy that had 2 tickets and couldn't attend so offered to sell them to Rusty.  I told him that he should take Tucker as he REALLY wanted to go and I don't care so much.   Rusty brought the tickets home tonight and put them in an envelope and wrote U of I and BSU on the front.  It was on the counter.   I moved this envelope several times near Tucker as he was in the kitchen and he just ignored it.  I finally said "Why don't you go on Craigslist and see it there are any tickets."  Here he is searching for tickets.  I pushed the envelope towards his elbow several times, but he still didn't notice.  Finally as you can see in this picture I pushed it under his elbow.  He still didn't notice.  He found some tickets on craigslist so I told him to e-mail and ask the seats hoping he will look down as he typed.  FINALLY!!!!  I wish Rusty would have got that picture.  It was so funny.  Tucker is thrilled that they are going! 

Happy Birthday Buddy!
