Silly Kids

The kids in our family sure are silly.  For example:

Collin blinding himself with his new mouse.

Hunter bowing.

Hunter trying to do a pull up (and Debbie giving him a boost).

Tausha spinning and spinning under the Christmas tree at the Capitol building to make herself dizzy.

Corryn and Ethan exploring Grandpa Bob and Grandma Katherine's house.

Ethan found a treasure box.  He then put the PT Cruiser toy car that Grandpa Bob gave him in the "treasures" box.

Hunter explaining the rules of Settlers of Catan.

And finally, Ethan insisting on being tossed around in a laundry basket until Dad was tired, then he asked Mom and when Mom was tired he asked Nay Nay and when Ranee was tired he asked Grandpa Bob. And when Grandpa Bob declined, Ethan wanted to take the laundry basket home to Nana's, cause she wouldn't be too tired for sure.

Holiday Fun!

Here we all are at the tubing place in Garden Valley. Great fun was had by all, as well as several spills by many ('cept Tara, thank goodness, gotta keep that baby safe). Ranee took a big spill and couldn't breath for quite a while. Ended up with some seriously bruised ribs and decided to take a break from the tubing and took a whole mess load of fotos that can be found here. Jon, Collin and Grandpa Bob were the most adventurous. But each person pushed their comfort envelope a little bit. Hunter went down the hill "Superman Style," Jon and Shelby tried tamales for the first time. We recommend the tubing hill for anyone looking for one. Close to home, and super fun.

After everyone's individual Christmas morning events, we all met up at Lynda's for some ham and trimmings. Notice Grandpa Bob and Bobby...standing exactly the same: arms, head, everything. Totally hilarious.

Steven and Karley brought Remy to join in the fun. What a cute little dog. Turns out everyone that meets her wants to take her home. We opened gifts, lots from Argentina. Steven surprised Karley with some boots she thought she didn't get for Christmas. Debbie's family got a Wii and all the trimmings, which made for lots of Wii fun. More Christmas Day fotos can be found here.

On New Year's Day we went to Grandpa Bob's and Grandma Katherine's for some Chili, Wii, Hot Tub, S'mores and roasted Starbursts (very yummy, actually). Most everyone had a chance at playing the Wii. Raving Rabbids were pretty popular. Lynda, especially, enjoyed the musical games. Notice the jumping up and down in the foto. More fotos from New Year's Eve night can be found here.

We also stopped by to see Mom and Bill at their new house. It sure was nice to see them.

And here's a super cute foto of Steven and Karley that was in the background of another foto. Love it!

Happy New Year everyone and Happy Birthday Steven!
