It has been fun letting Rusty be the oldest at home!
I hope he never felt overlooked by his brother.
Especially since he seems to have followed in Lanes footsteps in multiple ways:
Golf, baseball...
In fact, he was nicknamed "Little Lane" his first day as a freshman!
They have a birthday a week from each other, so in some ways they
do feel like twins, only 3 year apart!
I can't remember why, but somehow Casey and I ended up in
the 3rd row while he drove the family somewhere.
He still had his permit, and I'm pretty sure the girls were
nervous wrecks about this, lol!
We were all at Sunday dinner at my parents house when we heard
the kids SCREAMING!
They were rushing up the stairs saying Rusty got hurt!!
Next thing I see is Rusty with blood GUSHING down his face and arms.
He was holding his face so I thought his mouth got bashed in.
There was so much blood I couldn't think of what else it could be?!
We learned that a cousin, who I wont name (but wasn't surprised, ha), threw a block
and Rusty's head got in the way!
It was not intentional, and he felt so bad.
But man the carnage!
There was a trail of blood from the basement all the way to the kitchen, so much so that
my mom had to have her carpets and couches cleaned!
Luckily Dr. Evans assessed the wound and determined no stitches were necessary!
Weston holding the said block in the back.
Of course videoing the whole thing for content!
We got a good laugh a few months later when Katie sent this in
the family text thread.
She was looking through Bentleys school work and discovered that
this incident had quite the impact on him!
The details of the drawing is what gets me...hysterical!
The golf season started and he loved being able to play in the matches this year!
It was the first year of coach Figueroa taking over.
We already knew him from being the baseball coach for Lane.
I loved seeing his improvement from last year!
Even though golf is in the Fall season, it sure felt like the worst part of Summer!
I don't know how these boys do it!
I think this is my favorite golf course.
They seem to have the greenest grass and spectacular view of the Superstition Mountains.
My sweet Rusty boy:)
Last hole with the pinkest sunset!
