2009- “Rhodes Style”

2009 came and went like Ed Hardy Tee’s, Grandma’s Upset stomach or an In-N-Out high. So with excitement we are moving on with even higher expectations for 2010. Since the Rhodes’ are so dang *competitive we (dad) decided to hand out points to crown a champion of the year.

In 2009, Sela decided to test mom and dad’s resolve with potty training…1 point for Sela {unless you count each time she made us quit- then it would be more like 10-20 points.} She still loves her “pilley” and has especially loved sleepovers at grandma’s {which means a little more sleep in the morning for mom and dad.}

KJ has taken up tennis and has an Agassi like backhand…1 point for KJ.

there’s a new IN-N-OUT burger approximately one mile from our home.
who would have ever thought that orem, utah would receive such a honor!?!
this is good, and not good.

dusty & danny were such great sports to make special runs to walmart for extra-needed white xmas lights…first they spent about 1 hour getting half the lights on the tree just perfect, then ran out of lights again and made a SECOND trip to wal-mart!

notice their outfits: do you think they coordinated this? xmas-colored gym clothes, with santa hats! they actually went to walmart looking like this!
