Rudy Family Rukus~Parenting tips and humor meet in one big "rukus"

Love the new camera.  I took it to bed with me last night. (not really)  Hate to put it down it takes such great pictures wish I had got it years ago!!!

I did not get all the accessories pictured here but this was the best picture I could find that wasn't blurry!!  I LOVE IT!!!  Pictures coming SOON!

So I don't really think it is necessary to celebrate every month of life.  (But why not?)  I just can't believe my baby is just not really a  baby anymore and she seems to be so big to me that I just had to mention this little milestone.  She is such a source of joy and love that I couldn't help thinking of her on the blog today!!  Love you Katie bug!!

Love this picutre.  It is one of several but they just really look like they LIKE each other here.  Kayton is eating a tile sandwich.  (the tiles from my family home evening board)  And I just realized how painful all the kids look in the photo below.  It is making me laugh!!

We LOVE you!!  This picture is not the best and Peyton and Paisley are practically ripping off Brants arm but you get the point!!  Wish we could be there to celebrate Big number one but we are thinking of you!! (Sorry Tucker and Camden we wish you were in this shot too!!)

This is how Kayton goes to the bus stop everyday to pick up BIG brother.  Apparently it requires the wearing of the back pack!!

We went to U of U football practice on Wednesday with my friend Jill and her son Andy (he is playing in South Jordan and his mom wanted him to see some big boys really get HIT and not cry or get hurt).  hehe!!  We didn't watch much mostly just ran around the bullpen because they are practicing on the baseball field. (oops hope I didn't reveal trade secrets!!)  We did however get to see Jeff which was refreshing.  Love and miss you!!

Stay tuned for pictures of Ute Football Practice!  We are going in the morning!!  There will be no video all you silly BYU fans!  hehe

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments...So I know I am behind every one with this one but play if you want if not that's fine too!

So being the crazed mother that I am I totally forgot the camera when I dropped Dalton off for the first day of Kindergarten.  The batteries were charged and I even charged a spare set but without the camera what is the point of charged batteries.  Anyway..  we picked him up and took a few pictures and Peyton had to have her back pack on too which I thought was so cute. In the car on the ride home.  He had some nervousness on the way but that quickly resolved with a pep talk from mom.  He stood in line with all the other kids , and on his way into the classroom he turned and looked for Peyton and I and waved goodbye.  It was pretty cute.  I was a little teary but so proud that it went away quickly.  

So that is really her hair and I am laughing because my sister in law said it looks like cartoon hair and it just makes me chuckle.  I of course combed it out like this today while we were awaiting the first day of kindergarten for Dalton. This little super model is not to be outdone by any means.  I think hers is more Diana Ross and less cartoon like but still hilarious.  She did the posing unprompted which really makes me laugh.  

My little buddy is starting school on Tuesday.  He is so excited.  He met his teacher last week and he really liked her.  He told me "Mom I can't wait to meet all my new friends in my class at school".  I am sad but very excited for him.  Problem is this is kind of the beginning of a LONG time in the education system.  I was doing the UPromise thing to save for college and he will be graduating in 2020.  AHHH!  That may seem like a long way off but I know it will be here before we know it. Love you Dalton Good Luck at school!
