Get 'Happy' Balloons!

Grandma and Grandpa Huso brought by balloons to cheer up the kids! They are so sick with the Flu right now! James is the only one who hasn't gotten it and we are hoping it stays that way! Thanks for helping our little ones smile and be happy Grandma and Grandpa. We love you!

Ruthie lost Tooth...at school!

Ruthie has 2 loose teeth (well 1 now)! She refused to even attempt to wiggle it or pull it out yesterday and pitched such a fit when I even wanted to touch it that I let it go - yes I did- and sent her to school. So today she came through the front door PROUDLY waving a baggie holding the precious tooth, announcing "Mom I lost my tooth at school!" and then proceeded to give me a detailed play by play, down to what everyone in the 'group was doing and wearing and saying, and was ecstatic that her friend Lily covered her mouth (Ruthie's mouth) and accidentally knocked her tooth right out AND "there was only a touch of blood and it didn't hurt at all "...

to which I responded "That is awesome!" and it is - no drama, mess or hassle for me- aka - AWESOME!

Here is the picture she made me take, right before bedtime!

Harlem Globetrotters Game

For Christmas, Landon got tickets to take Porter to the Harlem Globetrotters Game. So, off they went and Porter was thrilled to get a ball to have them sign...well when he would let it go!!!

Just look at Porter's Face "I'm good just don't touch my ball!!!" He loved the game AND having special time with Dad!

Two sisters??

Weston and Blake LOVE to put on Ruthie's dress up shoes and clop around in them! They are the little sisters she never had! It is so funny how the boys will fight over which shoes they get to put on too! Yes, we do have tons of BOY dress up stuff - firefighters, doctors, policeman, Thomas conductor...but this is their favorite- sorry Dad :)

Binky Boy

Blake loves his Binky(s) - apparently loved fitting these 3 in his mouth and thought it was awesome! I called him the Binky Monster! He is such a funny little guy with a great personality. If he ever 'loses' one of his Binky's, I will ask him where they are and one will usually magically appear. They rotate in color, as the one he has right now is blue but yesterday it was the green one - I think they are different flavors to him :) So funny. We love out Binky Boy Blake!

My 2 'Twins'

I had to share this sweet picture of my 'twins' - Weston and Blake are 23 months apart in age but only 1/2 lb and a few inches apart in size...these sweaters were Porter and James' when they were the boys age...time has flown by and I can hardly believe the clothes that my 'babies' are wearing and how grown up my older 'babies' have gotten! (and just a plug for my ocd way of doing laundry - at least everything still looks like new- and can be passed down thru 4 + boys!- just ask my sister LOL)

Weston's 1st CTR Ring

Can you remember your very first green CTR ring?! Weston is 4 years old and LOVED getting his very own CTR ring at church! His smile lights up any and every room and he was bursting to show off his new favorite thing! He is such a shining example in our house and we love the joy he brings to our family. What a great way to start out the new year... being reminded to Choose the Right!

A new camera

Yipee! I got a new camera early for Christmas! Landon surprised me and I could be more thrilled!!! Now for Christmas morning - wooohooo!

Happy Birthday Ruthie

Our Ruthie girl is 7 years old today! She is such a joy to our family and to her brothers. She loves everyone and helps everyone to be happy! We are so excited for her special day...

RANCH 13

Growing up here was the best! pinecone ward with cousins, 4 wheeling in the mud, horseback riding with our Uncles, crawdad fishing and freaking out when I caught one :) ... I love that my kids now get to have some of the fun experiences I had!

First Day of School

Poor Blake wanted to go to school too! Porter, James, Ruthie and Weston all started school today! Porter and James are in 3rd grade, Ruthie is in 2nd and Weston is in Preschool. They were all so excited! No tears and all smiles, except for Blake who wanted to "go too"... I love and miss my kids! I pray they are safe and have so much fun and hurry home to me! (while they still want to)

Spaghetti by Blake

Blake LOVES noodles! It's great to have a kid who likes to eat!!!

Fun Sunday

Landon set up 3 'zip lines' in the family room and helped the kids make 'airplanes' attached to straws that they could 'fly' over and over. It was SO FUN! The kids loved it and played for hours. It's so fun being married to Mr. Creative- he is the best Dad ever :)

More Cali pics

Disneyland

We saw Mickey Mouse right when we got to California Adventure. The kids were so excited! Don't be surprised if this ends up being our Christmas card picture!

Weston loved meeting Mickey and telling him about his Mickey underwear! Our 3 year old is finally potty trained! WoooHooo!

Blake loved his 'freedom' - Daddy loved not having to hold him all day long!

Our little monster, uh I mean monkey - the face just says it all!

We always get a picture with Pluto! He is our favorite Disney Puppy!

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day. We had a wonderful day. We had breakfast and the kids gave Landon their cards and gifts. We then went to the Mormon Battalion and had a wonderful time - the tour was incredible as was the kids attention. They pumped water from the well, panned for gold and saw how bricks were made. We went to dinner after...well that was an experience with 9 adults and 15 kids under age 13!It's been a great day. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's I know and love. But most especially to my wonderful husband who is THE BEST DAD EVER!!! I love you Landon!

California

We are so excited to be in california! The drive out was rough but it is great to be here!
