NEW YEARS EVE!

 With all that was going on this Christmas break and with New Year's being on a Sunday - no one really made plans! Everyone went to Grandma and Grandpa Rodgers house and we had dinner, played some games and hung out for a while until the boys were ready to go to their friends houses. Tyler's ankle is still broken so he doesn't like going to his friends houses because he can't keep up with them on crutches so he stayed home with us and watched a movie, ate some treats and then we went out back at midnight and froze our bare feet off while we watched all the fireworks being shot off around us. Eli ended up at Jake's house and Sara made them fondue and then at midnight they banged some pots and pans together! Tyson ended up with friends at the Halls house! Then when we go to pick up Tyson we discover that he is a complete moron and could have died, lost an eye or a hand! Him and his buddies decided to go to a park to set off fireworks and they had a mortar, but the fuse fell out. They tried to attach it but it wouldn't work. They found another fuse, but that wouldn't work either because it was all wet. So these dumbasses decided to light the mortar without a fuse. They originally told Tyson to hold it in his hand while he lit it but luckily he listened to the still small voice and opted not to do that and instead lit it on the ground. Well it got him good right by his eye, on his neck and on his finger. His ears rang so loud and hard he couldn't tell what anyone was saying to him as they were asking him if he was ok. Hopefully he learned his lesson. Why are 15 year old boys so stupid?! Happy New Year everyone!
