Rustyn is becoming so much fun! He makes me laugh every day and I need to start writing these things down before I forget them. First he is trying to run! This is pretty comical. He tries so hard and falls a lot! He is definatly a boy banging into everything with his head, but not much will slow this boy down. He dropped a 5lb weight on his big toe and cried for a minute and has been fine since then. I am thinking he is going to loose his toenail. He saw me writing today and deciced he needed to try. He grabbed the pen with his left hand and started drawing on the paper. I tried to put him down and he got upset so I gave him his own pen and paper and he was loving it! He kept switching the pen from right to left seeing what was more comfortable for him… He ended up liking his left hand better I think.

There has been all this hype of the worst storm in 30 years in Arizona. There were 3 storms that came through and we are in the middle of the third one now. It was predicted upwards of 5 feet of snow from this storm. I think in some parts on northern Arizona have seen this amount of snow! As of today they are evacuating Greer because even the snow plows are getting stuck. Navaho and Apache Countys have declared stated of emergecy becasue of these storms. We were planning on going to the Valley this weekend to see Jenn before she left on her mission, and so Wes could do some work, it doesn’t look like we are going to make that trip. Good luck to Jenn, and you will do great!! Just don’t freeze up in Alaska.

In the middle of this storm we decided to have a little fun with Rustyn. He has never been in the snow so we put his snow pants on, with his cowboy boots cause he doesn’t have any snow boots… and a coat and put him in the snow. He didn’t seem to mind one way or the other.
