Happy Birthday Rusty!

Happy 13th to us

Christmas

I haven't felt like taking the time to post pics so here are a few.  We had a nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but I'm glad the holidays are over.

A Christmas Baby

Congratulations Karls Clan!  What a wonderful Christmas present

Welcome Katherine Noelle!  We can't wait to meet her.

Extreme sledding

Rusty and the boys have been doing extreme sledding in the backyard.  One of the guys drives crazy and the boys will bail off and then jump back on while the sled is zooming by.  It is crazy.

Rusty getting ready to jump on.  I don't think he made that one.

 Ethan flying over the jump.

Opps!  I think that one hurt!

A day on the mountain

Rusty and the boys went to Lookout today.  They had a fun day and saw lots of people they knew.

Looking at our pictures I'm thinking Rusty's got to be feeling short.  lol  Granted the boys are on a bit of a snow chunk there, but Ethan looks like he is towering Rusty and Tucker is about to catch up.  Me... I have officially given in.  I measured Tuck the other day and he is now exactly the same height as me, which means the way he grows he could be taller than me tomorrow.

Funnies

Ethan and Tucker went into Cd'A today to spend some money.  When they got home Tucker came down to tell me all the wrong turns Ethan took.  My boy is directionally challenged (runs in the family) and never knows where he is going in Cd'A.  Tucker asked him what he would do without him and Ethan said "drive around in circles."

Later in the evening they were discussing snowboarding plans.  I told them to go and not worry about me I would do something.  Ethan says "what are you going to drive?"  I said "oh, I forgot about that."  Rusty pipes up that they can take Ethan's car and Ethan is arguing that there isn't room for the gear.  Rusty says "We can bungy them to the top."  Ethan heatedly exclaims that he isn't bungying his $400 board to the top of the car when Rusty pops up with "the $400 board on a $500 car."  It was SO funny.  You probably had to be here, but trust me it was funny.  My boy has priorities!

A tuckered out Tucker

Tucker had an overnight B-day party last night and the boys stayed up till like 4 in the morning and then got up around 6 or 7.   He came home cranky and tired.  We told him to go lay down.  He slept most of the day.  I finally made him get up at 4 so he would sleep tonight.  I think they had lots of fun.  His buddy lives down the road.  Rusty and Grant (the dad) actually went to school together.  Anyhow they have snowmobiles and Grant, Aliza, Rusty, and Aliza's mom pulled the kids on sleds.  They all had a blast.
