Death of MEOW MEOW.....

Ruby loves kitties so much...and me being her mother and having to ability to say no to her made an impulsive decision to get a kitten from a friend in the ward. Ruby would follow the kitten around calling her MEOW MEOW...It was adorable! Well it did escape me when I agreed to taking MEOW MEOW home that possibly Mads would have an opinion on this topic. Poor Mads is allergic. Her little eyes swelled, turned red and the sneezes seemed never ending. So bye-bye MEOW MEOW. MEOW MEOW was relocated to Uncle Dave's and aunt Nicole's.

Well Ruby....apparently has some unresolved issues with the departure of MEOW MEOW. After checking on her one night we realized she had taken the stuffing out of her stuffed kitty.

This was the crime scene......

This was the devastated criminal......
And this is my beautiful daughter who could smile her way out of any trouble...
I love you Bee...Sorry about MEOW MEOW!!

Happy 4th of July!!

Well when daddy is away the girls will play :) Clint was out of town....so the girls took this opportunity to accessorize for the holiday! This is Mads (Madison, if you knew her temperament you would understand the nic name) first 4th and we tried to celebrate it with a bang.

Ruby is not a big fan of getting her hair done...and with Clint gone I had to get creative on how to hold her down to achieve pig-tail glory. The high chair and food had to due today...Ruby probably will not agree but it was totally worth it...she is so darn cute!

I hope you appreciate the effort it took to get this smile...she is a tough cookie to crack!

No holiday would be complete without blueberries and a Barney marathon. Ruby recently discovered the big purple dino...none of us will be the same...She loves him...and is often caught on the monitor having conversations with him...if translated I believe it would read as a love story between Ruby and Barney....

I love these pics....These smiles are what get me out of bed in the morning...I have felt like a single mom this weekend...IT is definitely hard work doing it all on your own....BUT it is so amazing to be with my girls all the time and to watch them grow daily!!

Oh Ruby I am unsure if you are hugging Mads or if you are trying out for the WWF? Will we ever know? (FYI...no child was injured in the taking of this pic)

Happy 4th to our family and friends...WE are so grateful to have the freedoms that we have!
