Not so Happy Halloween...

So this is Ruby's first Halloween...and me being the neurotic first time mom wanted it to be perfect. There was plans for the ward trunk-and-treating, hay rides, and actually going trick-or-treating....but alas my baby girl had another plan. Wednesday afternoon I received a call from the day care that my sweet angel had a fever and the rest was down hill. Ruby continued to be sick all weekend....limiting the ability to party down with the best of them. My parents totally stepped up to the plate and helped watch the cranky baby. After having a fever for multiple days she decided to break out in a blistery rash today. So Ruby, g-ma and I spent some time in urgent care today. What a crappy first Halloween! When we got home I put her down with her favorite stuffed animal...the DUCK. I swear I turned my back for moments and I heard a giggle...I turned to see that she was missing. I looked around the corner and saw my sweet baby making the best of a bad situation...





Happy Halloween everyone...hope you all had a safe and fun time!!

Pumpkin time!!

Well it is my favorite time of year!! I love the fall which leads to the holidays! This being Ruby's first Halloween we must start it out on the right foot with picking the perfect pumpkin. Clint and I ascribe to the "tough Love" parenting style...if you can't carry the pumpkin it's not coming with us :)


But I would have to say I think she did just right. A baby pumpkin for my baby bee. Stay tuned for shots on the new baby coming in the spring....when we debut the first head shot and name....
