Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Taggart and Ryder Hutton!

The boys enjoyed wearing their Irish Green Tie shirts.

Baby P's Nursery

Baby P will be joining the Hutton family in late April. Our excitement is obvious....her nursery is done!

Breckenridge ski vacation -V

Check out some footage of Ryder's first day on the slopes with Daddy and no instructor. 

Not bad for a five year old with only a few lessons. He loves skiing and said he had a blast with Daddy...We are going to have lot of fun.

Breckenridge ski vacation - IV

Ryder and Daddy spent the last day on the slopes together. Knowing that Mommy probably wouldn't approve, they took a photo from the chair lift and sent it to her.

Once off the lift, Daddy wanted another photo top commemorate the day. Both had huge smiles as they had so much fun.

Ryder led Daddy all over the mountain. He was really good. Once when Daddy fell, Ryder stopped and asked, "Are you OK and do you need me to help you?". It was a humbling experience for Daddy.

 Later in the day, Ryder paused before a run and ask, "Daddy, do you really think you can do this run?". Again, Daddy was humbled but could also be heard laughing loudly as he chased Ryder down the hill.

Breckenridge ski vacation - III

Tagg did outstanding in his first ski school.

 He is a little ham who takes every opportunity to wave to Mommy.

Tagg had a blast and enjoyed ski school. It won't be too long before he is up on the mountain with Daddy.

Breckenridge ski vacation - II

Tagg was so excited to get on the mountain that he was willing to wear Daddy's snowboarding gear.

 Once out there, he looked like a regular with his mind on winning a slalom world cup some day.

OK, maybe he didn't look the part just yet...

Breckenridge ski vacation - I

We headed up to Breckenridge for a quick ski vacation and get away. With Ryder and Taggart both signed up for ski school, Daddy took advantage of the time and hit the slopes.

 On day two, Daddy actually ran into Ryder and his ski school mates on the slopes. Check Ryder out as he continues to learn the finer points of skiing.

On day three, when Daddy caught up to Ryder's class, he asked Ryder and the ski instructor if they could take a photo....Daddy thinks it is a "classic".

Relaxing

The boys are excited about the Super Bowl this afternoon but need a little relaxation before the excitement, so they took advantage of Mommy taking a nap to relax with or on her.

Ryder's Basketball Season

Ryder had his best game yet.....this morning his team won 26 to 12. Ryder had 6 points and 9 steals (unfortunately, we didn't have the camera today). He definitely has fun, plays with lots of enthusiasm and energy. Check out a couple of video clips from this season.

Christmas vacation in Hilton Head Island - V

We wrapped up the holiday vacation with the Annual Leveque Hutton Bowling Tournament.

 The boys had a blast....and didn't hurt anyone!

Courtney with Uncle Ryan enjoying the tournament as Uncle Ryan demonstrated his bowling prowess.

 The holiday vacation wore the boys out...

Christmas vacation in Hilton Head Island - IV

Before the vacation ended, we headed back to the beach as a family to enjoy the weather. Ryder and Taggart thought it would be a good opportunity to play football with Papa Leveque.

Christmas vacation in Hilton Head Island - III

Christmas Eve ended with the boys putting on there new holiday pj's (Taggart in spider man and Ryder in Captain America).

 Well, it actually ended with them doing there best "Dance Party USA" or "Super Hero Moves"....we still don't really know but had a good laugh.

Christmas vacation in Hilton Head Island - II

On Christmas Eve the boys built ginger bread houses.

 Prior to heading to church, we paused for a quick family photo.

 It was great spending the evening at St. Francis by the Sea. It's amazing to think that it was 3,717 days since Courtney and Scott were married in this church.

Christmas vacation in Hilton Head Island - I

We started the Christmas trip to Hilton Head Island by heading to the beach. 

Jill and Courtney enjoy watching the boys

The weather was incredible and the boys really enjoyed playing....the only complaint was that they couldn't go swimming

Santa

Story time with Santa at the Louisville Rec Center.

 Ryder and Taggart couldn't wait to see Santa but Ryder was not too excited to actually speak to him...

 So, Tagg represented both of them. Ryder made sure that Tagg knew exactly what Ryder wanted so he could inform Santa on behalf of his big brother.

The only problem was Tagg forgot to tell Santa what he wanted.
