Rustin 1st day of School 7-25-2011

I am off to School!

Proud Daddy!
What am I going to do? Miss him.
Mrs Miller & Me!
I really cannot believe this day has come Why must time fly by us so quickly. Rustin Started his 1st day of full day Kindergarten at Cambridge Academy. He could hardly wait till he started. He loves school and loves to be with friends. He is very social and I would have to say pretty dang smart! His Teachers name is Mrs. Miller. I took him in his class where there were two kids crying and Rustin just walked straight in the door and said by mom no hesitation. Made me sad for a second but then I was excited that he was excited!

We are working on the walking thing!
Well I cannot believe our little man turned a year! it has gone by way to fast. He has been such a joy to have in our family and has such a strong personality! He knows what he wants and how to get it! He has 8 teeth and working on his one year molars. He is army crawling and still working on walking by himself! He says momma, dada, Dustin for Rustin, dog dog, more, kitty, uh oh, car, hot, grandpa. Since the binki came out he has turned it to a little jabber mouth!

Getting tormented by my older brother.
Little boy learned how to throw a ball!
Look at my chubbs!
I know I say this every time but really where in the heck is time going. My little boy is almost a year and I hate to even think about it. I do love watching him grow and learn! He finally started to crawl or should I say army crawl. He is taking after is older brother. He is taking our finger and walking a little but not to much. He says mom dad and that is it for now. I am sure next month when he turns one after no more binki except for when he is sleeping he will talk more! I am learning to cherish every minute I have with my kids because it is a once on a life time thing and I do not want to miss anything!

Summer Swimming

Uncle Tanner is hanging out with us!
Both the boys just love love love swimming! They just want to be in the water all day! We have been doing a lot of swimming this summer since that is all there is to do outside when it is so hot.

Mowing The Grass

So Rustin Told his dad he wanted to help mow the lawns. He was getting the hang off it. The mower was still a bit heavy for him. He did a great job!
Funny things Rustin has said the past couple of weeks:

He has been seeing a lot of ladies breast feeding under there covers and he does not understand why they have to be covered? His aunt Breanna was down and she was at our house doing this with baby Reed and I told him to not lift the cover and he asked why again. So I explained to him remember the time you went to the dairy and you saw the baby cow drinking from his mom? What are those called that the baby drinks from I asked?He turned and looked at Breanna as his eyes got big and his mouth dropped and said you have utters!!!!! Ya pretty much she said!


Mom I am going on my mission to Louisiana this is where Jeff served or Paraguay. Babysitters brother is serving there now.

Mom you go to the gym so you do not get fat? Yes. If you get a fat tummy you will be pregnant with my baby sister!!!

Rustin is quite the character he is so funny and makes us laugh all the time. He as grown up so much. He loves to spend time with his dad right now. They have been doing a lot of fishing lately. We just love this boy so much!
