Girls just wanna have fun :)

We recently had Emalee and Lily come stay for some time. Lily is a great little singer and loves to sing to Ruby. It melted my heart when I caught her singing to her. She was a good sport and sang it to her again so I could catch it on tape. Shortly after the girls went home our little Lily Bug, who incidentally informed me that she in not LILY BUG she is LILY FLOWER....heaven help us....anyways after returning home Lily FLOWER fell on the trampoline and broke her foot in 2 places. Any of you keeping track this is the second time in 10 months that she has broken something while on the trampoline in Utah. She had surgery 2 days later and has a cast going mid way up her thigh. Poor thing informed her daddy and I on the phone that she has to hop everywhere. She said is so sweetly that we let out some giggles. She asked if we were laughing at her and then without waiting for our response she then informed us that she "don't like people laughing me!" I am kind of bummed that the swimming season will be skipped for her this year...Hopefully she will stay off the trampoline for a few...well actually stay off it period!!

This one is for you Bonnie...

This is for Aunt Bonnie who decided to leave us this summer to have an adventure in the Swiss Alps. We have been missing you! Hurry home to us!! Ruby rolled over a few times when she was about 6 weeks old. But after that she was against it....I tried everything....but this little one has a little stubborn streak. Everything is in her time. Well she finally decided that it would be a good idea and now she everywhere rolling around. This is in the beginning of the rolling phase. S is very distracted by the camera and stops all movement and giggling so I have to be a little sneaky about it.

Giggle box...

I know I say this every time...but it is true....I love this kid so much...so constantly has her daddy and I laughing...she hates baby food but loves whatever mommy is eating.
Heaven help us!!

Photo perfect...

I love this kid...no other way to say it...she is so full of presonality already...Clint and I often worry about we are in store with her when she learns to speak.

I love the roles.....

The perfect mommy/Ruby weekend...

Ruby just had her 4 month check up...and as suspected she is perfect :) She is in the 97th percentile for height and is weighing in at 15 lbs. 3 oz. That would explain the constant back ache...This is her practicing her sitting...She hates the camera...so bare with me :)

Doc said to start her on solids twice a day...well yeah she is not a big fan....

It has been so nice outside lately that we decided to go shopping and accessorise with some affordable but adorable summer sandals....very versatile don't you think?

We managed to get in some tummy time...

This is my all time favorite...I know a responsible mother would discourage there 4 month old from loving the tv but this is how I look at it...it is quality time with daddy...and she is watching food network :)

Finally we would go for walks as a family after dinner...and it all so was nice that the stroller put the little angel into slumber-ville....

Completely adorable...or at least that is what every mom tells her self when there 4 month old is telling her off....

Ruby is blessed...

Oh Ruby...I hope you know how much we love you and how grateful we are for you to be in our family. My eyes filled with tears on this day as I watched your father lay his hands on you and give you a name and a blessing. The sweet words that were spoken were straight from our heavenly father and meant for you!

Sometimes I wake up and wonder how did I get so lucky to have these two in my life!! I am so grateful for a worthy preisthood holder in my home that was able to bless our daughter.

Any one that knows my husband knows a picture with him smiling is priceless...I was behind the camera threatening him...and how cute is Rube's with her monkey...have I mentioned that I totally love her...

And the day would not have been complete with out mentioning Ruby's beautiful auntie that made the dress without a pattern...She spent countless hours on it...each rossettes took 20 minutes and there was 75...did I mention that we love YOU aunt Chony!! And Grandma Green stepped up to the plate and made a beautiful blanket that compliments the dress...Thank you G-ma....we know we ask a lot of you...You always deliver the goods!!

The weekend was truly amazing...we were surrounded by family that traveled long ways to be there and support us and Ruby on her big day...I will update with more pic's when I get them...FAMILY WE LOVE YOU!!

IT's bunny time!!

In preparation for the arrival of the Easter Bunny and all his coolness....Marshall ate...to build strength...
The girls colored eggs...I think the grown ups actually had more fun coloring eggs than the children...

Of course the girls wanted nothing to do with the Easter Bunny and wanted him to stay a safe distance away...oh brother is all I really have to say about that...

Marshall still has this hate/hate feelings toward Ruby...he was quite dismayed when the bunny was holding her...

Getting all these kiddo's to smile is near impossible...

If your wondering who the good sport in the bunny suit is...well in his spare time Uncle Big Al ( my brother) moonlights as the Easter Bunny! He was great with the kids...We love you so much Uncle Big AL!!
