My Newest Nephew!

Well because I know my sister on a good week would not get around to posting a picture, I knew for sure that she would not get around to posting on her first week of the Zaner man and baby Hal as a part of her new and exciting life. I thought I would post some pictures that I got. I know that a few of his aunties that live too far to just come down for a quick peek would love to see the new baby boy Lusk and the Hot momma. I will leave the important details to her to post but here are the pictures.

Doesn't Shancy look great, she acted so happy to not be pregnant. You did a fabulous job mommy of two now!

I got to the hospital just in time to see the baby before they were headed out the door, I need to make a trip out to hold the little guy VERY soon. Kade told me I couldn't take him out because it took him way to long to get him buckled in.

Tell Zaner if he is still in denial of having a brother he can come live with us!

Moving Cows in the Winter

I am not a fan at all of moving cows in the winter, on the other hand, this was a beckon of light for my boys. Winter is hard for the Tubbs crew. Every time we see grass any where Addler says, "Oh man they are so lucky they have grass." They do spend time outside but not as long as they would like. This was a most anticipated event. Addler and Ruxton made plans for days who was riding who, what they were going to wear, the whole nine yards. This was towards the end of January. Some of the cows were down in the meadow lands and we move them across the valley to our place, so that they are closer. I drove in the pickup and trailer, happily, while the boys couldn't wait their turn to ride Holdan included.

Holdan rode until he feel asleep, it wasn't even 20 degrees out side. He was pretty fired up when he woke up not on the horse!

These two had to wait their turn, they endured it pretty good!

I thought this was a cool picture-Austin

Addler and Grandpa Tubbs

Maestin and Bronco

Bronco was ready to go, he was as excited as the boys.

Random pictures of January

I have a bit of catching up to do. These are just a selection of random pictures of the goings and comings around the Tubbs home.

Holdan brought the camera to me one morning and wanted me to take a picture,the boys were just relaxing and reading quietly, so I told Holdan to go sit down by Add and Mestin and this is what happened. Addler actually started the silliness.

Maestin was the Denner is his cub scout den. He had the opportunity to wear this cool yellow rope thing for a week he thought it was so cool.

This is a picture of my boys before we had to go down to a fancy banquet for FB YF&R in Idaho Falls. We took the boys with us to our Leadership conference there in January. They had fun swimming, and watching TV! It was near impossible to get his picture I finally gave up after 5 tries.

Not only can the three big boys tie but Holdan is putting forth a good effort too.

Holdan can play the mobie go too, he likes it more than any of the boys.

Dad finally hooked the sled up to the 4-wheeler and took the boys sledding. I went out to take a picture all 4 boys were riding together, but when I got the there this is what I found. Bet you can't guess who that is on the back...yep Ruxton. A little story about Ruxton and the new 4-wheeler. Austin started letting the boys go on there own. They would take turns driving the 4-wheeler. One day I was in the house they were out sledding and every once in a while I can hear the 4-wheeler just a going, maybe a little too fast. I am thinking to myself I better go out, it is Ruxton driving. I walk out there and Ruxton goes flying by on the 4-wheeler and no one on behind, then the other three are walking up to the house and start complaining about Ruxton that he is just too crazy! Ruxton does not drive anymore! I think that in his mind he doesn't see the need to be responsible all the time he has two older brothers that are really responsible, so he likes to give them a run for their money! Although he does surprise me more often than not when he is getting after someone for not doing what they are supposed to be doing.

Ruxton's Birthday

On January 12th our Ruxton turned six years old. He had a fun filled day and made sure he got the most out of it being his day!

A typical picture of Ruxton, he was unhappy about something just before we sang to him. He wanted a baseball cake and he got it.

Holdan ready to sing Happy Birthday

He wanted rice pudding for dinner his favorite!

He got a Mobi Go Vtech for his Birthday and has loved it. He also got a cowboy hat, piggen string, and some games to go with his mobie go.

A little bit about Ruxton. He is our mighty hunter, he has now shot three rabbits with his BB gun. He loves to go out and shoot. He is very patient and can spend a lot of time on one thing until he has it figured out. He has done this with not only shooting but other things as well. One of his best efforts has been learning to rope right handed, he had that down two years ago, he can now do a lot of things with his right hand. He is a very determined little boy, he thinks and is convinced he can do anything anyone else can. He is a rhymer and when you say or ask him to do anything he will go off with string a rhymes. The things that come out of his mouth are mostly hilarious and not too outrageous! He is real tough and I never know if he is hurt or sick, I have to figure it out on my own. He puts on a real tough front, but is very soft inside he is always watching out for mom and takes care of me. He carries his emotions close to the surface. The other day when Bowd came home at the airport after the initial hellos and excitement were over he turns to his dad and says, "see Dad I knew I was going to cry." We love Ruxton he is so much fun, he is always game for something fun. At his stage he can do anything the big brothers can and sometimes much to their dismay better, so to list the things that he is doing would be endless. So he is a wonderful six year old going on 12 much to the dismay of his mother. We love you Ruxton Earl Tubbs
