A few weeks ago we decided it was time for our pumpkins to recieve a proper burial, so we shot them to pieces. The kids loved it and even Tiff has a little whitetrash in her! I think this is going to be a new yearly treat.
Hurry up and shoot Max, before Obama takes our guns! ;)
Noah practicing his redneckin skillscause girls only want boyfriends with skills
Tippy the redneck princess!
(She's lethal with a Glock from 30 yrds so watch out!)
So once we finally killed the Halloween/Thanksgiving punkins it was time for the Christmas tree to make its entrance. I love Christmas, but in our family the tradition is that no one is allowed to listen to Christmas music until the Thanksgiving Turkey has been properly stored in my belly. The rest of the tradition handbook states that Paul will bring the tree downstairs and assemble said tree on the day after Thanksgiving. Once the tree is assembled Pauls only remaining duties are to hold the couch down, drink pepsi and eat starkles. It really is a great tradition!
My work here is done!
OK, now my work is done!
Post Thankgiving tradition used to dictate a long cold day spent goose hunting on the banks of the Colorado River. That tradition morphed into a long cold day spent Kayaking on the Colorado River. I did see a lot of geese though and even some people hunting our old stomping grounds.
Last years kayak trip down Westwater.
This years Westwater Trip!
(can you tell what new piece of "paddling" equipment I got this year?)
And now it looks like Tiff is trying to start a new tradition by taking herself to Hawaii for a week. I think at some point the boys and I would like to get in on that one. (Although I wouldn't give up a day of paddling to go anywhere, not even Hawaii! ok, maybe Hawaii)
Na Pali
That brings us to our most recent tradition. The infamous lighting of the park in Mapleton. The lights failed to turn on at the flip of the switch as usual. And the 1st graders sing songs but they put Noah on the ground where no one was able to see him, but we continued the Tradition anyway.
The kids wore reindeer hats and Sunglasses for the reindeer rap. Max figured he would get in on it too! He refused to take them of the entire night.
Little Corey Hart!

What are starkles?
Aren't starkles, that candy that is on 13 going on 30. It candy but a gum? Great traditions, and I have to tell you I really like Tippy's new tradition. Lets let that one keep going at least until we move back home! And come on, there is no better place then Hawaii, not even paddling...well i have never been so I guess I can't make that a fair call!
I don't even know were to start. Just as I think things can't get any better you end it all with a Corey Hart video. WOW!!!
For all of you wondering what the hell a starkle is, just keep wondering. That means more for me.
Miranda, Miranda, Miranda. You have never had a starkle? Oh my, what you are missing. It is the heavenly end to a night of Christmas wrapping. A starkle with a diet coke. Nothing could be better. Well, maybe a few things could be better, but they are pretty darn good. Kind of like the Pink dressing. :) Tradition, Tradition, Tradition, nice one Pauly.....
Oh yeah I love starkles. Are you ready to put that orange thing away yet and get your skis out? I have been thinking about heading upriver to look for geese this year good times.
We need to get the .22's out and go shoot us up some rascally rabbits!
Indianola is beautiful this time of the year.
Great traditions! Just don't let Tiff shoot her eye out! I did actually sing your title the correct way!
