Fun times around the house!

After Christmas, daddy and Ruston had TONS of fun playing with new toys.  Daddy made the mistake of showing Ruston that he can sit and ride in his shopping cart, so this has become a MUST in Ruston's book!

Ruston also has a tendency to get stuck since he really is too big to fit in the cart... and he has toppled over backwards and sideways a few times too.  Kid's gotta learn about gravity somehow! :)

Due to all the playing, Ruston gets quite tired.  This particular day, he had been in the car after playing at Cindy's house, and he fell asleep in the car.  Usually, as soon as I try to lay him down, he wakes up, but not this day; he was OUT!

Ruston is also learning about snow since we've had a lot of it, and he obviously doesn't remember last year!  He's really not quite sure what to think of it, but he'll sit in it and stare at it.

Daddy was sledding and tried to take Ruston down with him, but since we don't have a SLED and he was using an old boogie board, it didn't work so well!!  Maybe we'll try again later, since Jason tried to get a sled at Walmart, but they were all out.

Okay, so these are a tad out of order, but you get the idea.

Here's the attempt to take Ruston sledding down the hill... it was more like a "scoot" down the hill!

And the hike back up!

Winter has been going on through, and we've been enjoying it thus far, although it's becoming a bit of a nuisance to get up and down the driveway!!

Christmas, Part 2

We didn't think we were going to get a white Christmas this year because we really hadn't had much of any snow, but we woke up Christmas morning to this:

Such a beautiful view off of our deck.  Tucker was also enjoying his Christmas morning outside in the snow.  He really loves to be outside, and is in a fairly large pen so he can still run around okay.

And of course, looking down the driveway.  Luckily, it wasn't too much that we could still get down the driveway... but still just enough to enjoy the winter coziness. :)

Once we got up and going, we headed over to the Thackxton home for Christmas breakfast and lots of presents!  Of course, I didn't think to get any pictures of the table full of food, but it was GOOD!  The kids could barely contain themselves, well, neither could Nanny (Cindy), around all the presents, so the opening ensued.

Yes, that pile of presents are all for Ruston!  He, again, loved opening all his presents from Nanny and Pa.

Once the madness of present opening was finished, we headed back home for a relaxed rest of the day.  Ruston decided it was time to enjoy his Christmas present from Grammie and Papa Boo... this horse!


I also had to get a picture of him in his Christmas clothes.  Such a grown up little man!


Trying to multi-task... there's no way that bottle was coming out of his hand!

Merry Christmas everyone!!  We had a lot of fun this year, and know that each year will grow exponentially in the amount of fun and joy we have watching Ruston grow up!!

hiding spot

Ruston loves his hiding spot. Hopefully you can hear the audio on this too because he's talking up a storm while hiding.
