Happy Birthday, Hunter!

It's hard to believe, but little Hunter is one. We had a sweet little party for him the day before his birthday. (It was the warm up for Noah and John's party the next weekend...)

Hunter with his buddy, Connell.

Singing Happy Birthday.

Ready to doze off in his cake.

I'll take that!

This is a little gooey.

It's stuck to me!!

Mmm...But it tastes good. Is this too much at one time?

Hey! A balloon!

Everyone is enjoying a cupcake.

First bite of ice cream.

That was really cold!

I love cake!

What's in here?

As usual, Hunter was more interested in the trash. Noah and John mostly opened his presents.

Checking things out.

Reading a new book.

Wrestling the new pillow pet.

Loading up the goods.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Hunter!

At the Hop

Noah's school recently had a family night. The theme was Sock Hop. The Schuster boys were definitely the cutest!! It was rather hard to keep track of them. All the boys had on jeans and white tshirts.

All ready for the Hop

I slicked his hair back. It took a lot of product to tame those curls...and by the end middle of the night, the curls beat out the gel. He looked like we hadn't done anything different to his hair.

Noah's hair also won over the gel... By the end of the night, his was just sticking straight up.

Don't you just want to squeeze him!?!?! He even had a little product.

Noah hanging out with his buddy, Silas.

Fancy footwork.

Hunter, Canon, and John cruising around.

Hula hoop contest.

The whole family.

Basketball

Noah is playing Upward Basketball this year. He is really enjoying it. And he's so cute!!! (He's #2.)

All ready for the first game!

They run out as their name is announced at the beginning of each game.

Ready to take the shot.

Waving to the fans on the walking track above the court.

January in Review

Playing Bananagrams with Daddy

In the Schuster house, if you say something you shouldn't, which includes sassing, you get a little vinegar in your mouth. Uncle Brad was busted by Noah for saying "stupid." 

Noah giving Uncle Brad vinegar.

One Sunday afternoon, Greg took Noah to the local ski destination, Hidden Valley, to go tubing. The other boys and I went to watch their last trip down the hill. I took my fancy new zoom lens and then left it in the car...  (Sigh!) They lasted about two and a half hours before Noah got cold and was ready to go. 

Noah and Greg are the second from the right.

If you look close, you can see Noah's little head down in front of Greg.

Really cold!

Is he too young to unload the dishwasher?

11 Months

Having s'mores.

Daddy and the boys

Noah and his buddy Kyle doing down the slide.

Shooting the air guns.

Yee-Haw!

Playing with a spoon at Noah's basketball practice.

Welcome 2013!

For New Year's Eve, we went to our friend's, the Carrigans, who live just up the hill. We had such a great time. The kids played, we ate, and we got to visit and catch up. 

The kiddie table.

I have no idea what Noah was talking about, but he was telling some kind of story.

Nolan and John with their matching Hippos.

Nolan is coughing and John is wiping his nose. Tissue anyone?
