Ruby is 3!


September 30, 2016 Ruby Jane came into our lives. And she has been such a blessing ever since! She keeps us all laughing with her silliness and goofy personality. She is so loving and tells me multiple times a day, "I love you mom!" But I can't say I love you too or else she says no I love you! So I just have to say thank you Ruby! 

She is stubborn! She loves to do everything on her own. She loves baby dolls, especially "Old baby" puzzles, books, dance, gymnastics, and playing anything with Rhett and Eliza- (dino eggs, super hero kids, fantastic things, family). She loves getting her nails painted and princesses and all things girly. Her favorite princesses are Elsa, Anna, and Belle. She loves her mama and daddy but gets so offended if Mitch ever gets mad at her. "Don't tell me dad" with a look that could kill.

She loves fruit snacks, marshmallow cereal, candy-especially hi-chews and starbursts, (super healthy) pears, grapes- any fruit really, zucchini, noodles, and pizza. 



Ruby is such a joy to have in our family! We feel so lucky to have her. 


Birthday shopping and lunch with Grandma. Ruby felt so special. 


Grandma totally spoiled Ruby. She loves clothes and chose out lots of Little Critter books from the book store.


Elsa Birthday party prep…. that's a good dad right there. 


Ruby asked for new hats (to be like Rhett)


Cute Rhett was so sad he didn't have a present for Ruby so he asked Mitch to take him to the store so he could buy her a gift with his money- a barbie. I think it was her favorite gift of the day just because it was from him.

Birthday waffles and smoothies


New pink balance bike! And one of the last times seeing that binky. I may have cried like a baby after taking it away. Just another reminder she's not a baby anymore. 

Party Time! Ruby couldn't wait for her Elsa party and for all her cute friends and cousins to get there. 






 My cutest sister Natalie dressed up as a princess and gave all the girls princess lessons. They loved it.






 Her last gift came right at the last minute- a carriage for her dolls. She was so thrilled! Can't believe we have a 3 year old in the house. Love my Ruby Jane so much!

May 2017


May was full of fun and beautiful weather! Gymnastics for Ruby and Lydia. They love going together!



Ruby loves painting and is not afraid of a mess. Sometimes she forgets to paint the paper and paints her hands instead. 


Wheeler Park with Tilley. The kids on field trips loved Tilley as much or more than the farm animals.


Happy is right. This girl is pure sunshine. 


Lots of outdoor snacks and picnics with our best neighbors!


A surprise invite to see the Jazz play in the playoffs. Mitch is always up for a Jazz game. 



Bbq at the Petersons.



Naps at the same time are heaven sent. 



Bahama Bucks with cousins and Grandma. 



The beginning of a very very long project called putting together a swing set. Thank you Mitch for the hours you put in! The kids have spent sooo many hours on this. 









Playing at Nana's with Natsy. Lize at 6 months old and sweet as ever. 


Rhett takes his job as big bro seriously. He loves helping....and bugging. 



We got to watch Lydia and Tagg while Mindy went with Benny and Brady to Florida. We had a blast!








 Ruby loves to get out of church and roam the halls. 


 I love those front teeth- definitely a binky girl!








Last day of Discovery Preschool. Rhett had great teachers and friends but was ready for SUMMA!








Swimming at Eddie and Win's pool with Grandpa. 




Memorial Day fun!




 Sleepover at Nana's while Mitch spent the night at the hospital. Night shifts are the worst!
