Happy Baby

Piper is always happy and excited to see us after a nap....probably has less to do about us than it does her own desire to not miss out.

Forget Crawling...I Want to Walk!

Unlike her brothers, Piper seems more interested in standing, cruising and walking than in crawling.

We are a little concerned that she is close to becoming real mobile.

Ski vacation with the Cardinal's - II

Bryson, Emery, Ryder and Taggart had a blast in ski school while the Mommy's and Daddy's enjoyed some tranquility in the mountains and on the slopes. We are all looking forward to the next family ski vacation.

The Cardinal's first time on the slopes

The Russell's and King's were in town so Courtney hit the slopes with Sonja and Jeni

One small lift for a man, one giant leap for the two new skiers

Ski Vacation with Cardinal's - I

We just wrapped up and awesome family vacation to Breckenridge with the Cardinal's. It was so much fun to have all six kids under one roof.

Piper's Crawling

Piper's crawling....At the beginning of the New Year and a little over eight months old, she decided that it was time to move.

Shortly after crawling, she pulled herself up in her crib and just stood there holding on for dear life. Time to lower the mattress in the crib!

Piper is still a baby but we are shocked at how fast she is progressing. Ryder & Taggart better watch out.

Team Hutton Values

As Team Hutton begins 2013, we will have a renewed focus on our core values. Courtney & Scott created (with assistance from Nana & Papa Leveque and Grandma Hutton) to assist in defining and reinforcing for Ryder, Taggart, and Piper (and Courtney & Scott).

Team Hutton Family Values

Courtney surprised the family by having this board created, as a Christmas present, so we can reference and hang in the kids play area.

Skiing...Vail & Breckenridge

We had a great start to the ski season with one day in Vail and one day Breckenridge. Ryder & Taggart took off where they ended last year and continue to become more and more daring. Thanks to Nana Leveque for staying back with Piper.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Team Hutton!

The Leveque - Hutton Christmas was full of traditions, excitement, fun and memories.

It may have been a little silly also....Papa Leveque acted like an elf....which is very silly!

Later, he brought the night to a close with his annual reading of "Twas the Night before Christmas".

Piper enjoyed her first Christmas and was spoiled with all the girly gifts possible.

We hope every one's Christmas was as enjoyable as ours.

Leveque-Hutton Annual Boys Broncos Game

The boys (all of them) headed out early this morning for the Denver Broncos vs. Cleveland Browns game at Mile High.

This was the first time that all of the boys were able to attend a Broncos game together.

They had a blast tailgating in the incredible Colorado Winter weather....

Enjoying the game with Broncos Darth Vader man...

Singing, dancing and being silly as they cheered the Broncos to victory.

Finally, some of the boys crashed!

What a great experience and opportunity to enjoy family during the holidays.

Christmas Break Football

First day of Christmas Break and the boys couldn't wait to play football. Ryder (6) may have a little more experience, speed and size but Taggart (4) never backs down. Ryder better enjoy this advantage while he has it...

They paused briefly for a quick photo before throwing the ball at Daddy.

What a great December day in Colorado...for playing football with these two!

Santa

Tonight, Team Hutton was so fortunate to run into Santa Claus at the Medtronic Holiday Open House in Louisville, CO. Daddy didn't tell the kids that he was waiting on them.

Tagg, Santa, Piper & Ryder

Piper was soo excited....Taggart and Ryder a little less excited. Yet, Tagg and Ryder both shook his hand and spoke with him. Neither was much for sitting on his lap!

Piper and Santa comparing fur

Piper on the other hand couldn't wait!

Tooth Fairy

Today, Ryder lost his first tooth...or shall we say first two teeth. Unfortunately, one of the permanent teeth was coming in behind the baby tooth. The dentist recommended extracting two.

Before

Ryder actually asked if they could extract four...he determined that this would ensure that he had lost more teeth than anyone in his class and that he made the most money from the tooth fairy. Not only is he competitive but he is slightly entrepreneurial.

After

Lots of family fun tonight as Ryder placed the teeth under his pillow in the perfect spot for the Tooth Fairy to locate the tooth....or by the looks of it, for his brother to sneak back in and hide.
