Rusty

Rusty is now big enough to jump up onto the bed without help.  This isn't necessarily a good thing.  She doesn't jump up unless there is something that she wants though.  This day it was Eeyore.
Rusty graduated from Puppy school.  Trying to get a dog to pose with a mortar on it's head is very interesting to say the least!  Rusty performed well for her 'exam'.  She did things that she had never accomplished at home while practising.  It was a total fluke!



Nathan decided he preferred getting his picture taken with Storm, a German Shepherd in Rusty's class.  We let Rusty & Storm play together one night after class and they chased each other around like no tomorrow.  Nathan is sad that he won't see Storm again and thought we should trade Rusty for Storm.

The Boys....

I tried to get some pictures of the boys tonight.  They weren't totally cooperating.  I mostly wanted one of Jay for his baptism announcement.  Didn't work out like I planned.

Kub Kar races 2015

The cut outs!  Thank you to the great leaders that took the boys to cut out their cars on a night just for them as we were out of town the day the group went to cut them.
Jay wouldn't pose with his for me so Daddy had to threaten to kiss him to get a picture.

Carson and his Kar

Jay's late birthday present...

Jay found this toy that he desperately wanted for his birthday.  Unfortunately they are not available in Canada.  Thankfully we have friends that didn't mind us sending things to their cabin in Montana.  The downside was that Jay had to wait until the end of the Christmas holidays for his beloved gift:
What could be better than a new Nerf gun?  A remote controlled Nerf!

Christmas Vacation Crafts

The boys were a little bored over the holidays so we decided to make a paper mache volcano.  It took a few days of course as we had to cover the paper and then paint it.  The boys were not happy having to wait 24 hours for it to dry.


 Although we painted it black, the 'paste' combined with the paint turned everything the grey color.  Then the instructions told us to add food colouring and dish soap to the vinegar and baking soda.  I had never added dish soap and love the 'thick' lava that ensued.
 As you can tell, Nathan loved it!

The Hutterite boy and the jumping bean...


We went to Calgary the weekend after Carson's birthday.  Grandma and Grandpa had bought Carson a cowboy shirt for his birthday.  He was so excited to put it on that he put it on for the drive home and we had left straight from church.  Hence, the Hutterite boy!

As for the sink... I was working and Nathan was off school.  He thought it would be fun to take a bath in the kitchen sink and Rose didn't think it was a concern.  As the story goes, Nathan stated to jump up and down.  The seal on the sink gave way and it went crashing down.  Thankfully the bottles of soap, etc. under the sink kept the pipes from breaking at least!  I tried to prop it up so we could at least use it until Clarke came home and we could get it fixed.
