Boys will be Boys

So Ryan has had his Jeep for about two years. I admit, I think it's pretty cool. But I didn't realize exactly how practical it is until the past two days. Every so often after a big rain I will notice some mud on Ryan's Jeep from where he's tried desperately to find some mud to go muddin' in.

On Christmas eve when the blizzard hit, Ryan was quick to say he'd go out and pick up last minute items, run to the store, etc. It wasn't until he got back from one of his outings that I realized why he was so excited to get out in the snow. He was trekking through snow without any problems while several other 4x4 vehicles were stuck on the side of the snow. In fact, he pulled some of them out. He even got out in our neighborhood with a shovel to help stranded motorists. It made me so proud of my husband and our daughter's daddy.

The funniest part of this story is that not only does Ryan have a big ol' manly Jeep, so does my big brother. Chris also went out to help stranded motorists. He ventured a little further out than I would allow Ryan. It was so cute to see their child-like excitement when they talked about how their Jeeps drove in the snow.
