2011-08-28T22:33:00.000-07:00

Ruby and I have been doing a lot of things these days. Going to the zoo, swimming, shopping. We have so much fun together. Ruby is getting so big she is learning to put on her shoes, put on and take off her clothes, she is learning to count she will count to three and then say wheee like she is sliding on a slide. She also loves the number nine she says it really well. Ruby is so funny she has this "CHEESE" grin that she does all of the time! She loves to scream at the top of her lungs and then giggle at the end of her ear piercing scream. She is such a snuggler now too she love her Pop Pop and Nana so much she gets to excited to see them. Her Aunt Ra Ra and Uncle Log Log are two of her most favorite people ever!!! She loves hats and can turn anything into a phone. She is doing so much better in Nursery she plays with all the kids. She is such a great dancer!!! She loves the "TONIGHT TONIGHT" song she sings the "LA LA LA" part. It is so incredibly cute! I'm sure I could go on forever. I am doing well I am working, and loving my time to be with Ruby she is my life I love her! We have so much fun we have been to the zoo a few times and she loves the "key Key's" the most. She is getting brave at the pool she is trying to jump in now too.

Things with Ruby has been so much fun in the past few months. She has had a lot of accomplishments since turning one. Ruby is learning all of her animal sounds, she can tell us what a cow says, a duck, a dog, a turkey, Santa and sometimes a cat. She loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Backyardagains, and Blues Clues (of course). She also has a cute little fake laugh she copies anyone who is laughing and really laughs out loud. Ruby is trying to talk as much as possible, but mostly it comes out as gibberish still, sometimes you can understand what she says. It is so cute! She is also WALKING!!!!! Still a little wobbly but she is loving the fact that she can walk all over, she carries things from the kitchen to the other rooms in the house! She loves the Christmas tree, the decorations don't stay on the tree very well..mostly the jingle bells and some small stockings. Ruby also got a Little People Nativity Scene she loves it and played with it all night long. We are so excited for this Holiday season, we are excited to be surrounded by the people we love! We are going to Utah for the Steed Christmas party this weekend and are very excited to get to spend some time with them! Curtis and I are so thankful for everything that we have, for our parents and siblings. Most of all we are so grateful for Ruby and the chance we get to be her parents, we thanks the Lord every night for her wonderful spirit that she brings to our home. I hope that every one has a Merry Christmas!!!

2010-10-18T22:13:00.000-07:00

Ruby at 1 year old:
-16lbs 7oz

-she cruises along the furniture and holding your hand
-she can tell you how old she is by holding up 1 finger
-she can say ga gee (doggie), mom, da dee (daddy), yuck, hi, and bye
-she doesnt like the feel of any foods that are slippery or squishy
-doesn't like baby food only big girl food, especially bread and juice
-loves to yell at the ga gee's and shakes her 1 finger at them
-watches mickey mouse clubhouse, blues clues, and backyardagains
-only gives kisses to her Auntie Ra Ra
-loves to play hide-n-seek with her da dee
and many many more things...

Well first and most important Ruby turned 1!! October 12th was just as special as last year when our beautiful 5lb 8oz baby girl arrived in our lives. We set up a party in Hailey with my side of the family on her birthday, we went dinner (had pizza), then back to Gammie and Pop Pop's for cake and presents. Ruby got some really cute clothes and toys, and also a beautiful toy box that Uncle Logan made for her. She was into opening her presents until she spotted the balloons all over the floor, then she got super excited! I made her a "party outfit" for her, it was so cute on her. Then when it was time for cake, we sang "Happy Birthday" to her and she was so happy that every one was singing to her. The cake was so cute Pop Pop, Gammie and I made it for her and all the cupcakes, but Ruby isn't much for sweets she tasted the frosting and then MADE her Gammie taste it too, then she was done with it. lol funny little stinker! Then on Saturday she had another party in Rockland and Grandma and Grandpa's house. She invited all her cousins to come and play with her...except little Ben cuz he was only 4 days old (yes they share a birthday). She wasn't feeling to well that day but she was a trooper. She opened all her presents from everyone and espcially loved her dolly from Grandpa and Grandma. She was a little more interested in the cake this time she ate some frosting and the fondant flowers..yuck! But we all had a blast celebrating. Happy Birthday Ruby you are so speical to your Daddy and me, and all of your family! We are looking forward to many more years of just as much exciting new things you do. i have more pics from the other party too still to post!

So we had a very eventful summer we got to go camping 3 different times this summer, once just the three of us, once with the Farnsworth Family and once with the Steed Family! They were all so much funn and Ruby loved it! She was so excited to be outside. Went to Lagoon! We also went to a Carrie Underwood concert for the 4th of July and Ruby did really well there too. We went swimming a number of times. We spent alot of time at the American Falls Resevior, went to bear lake and to Hailey a few times. We spent all summer traveling and spending time with all of our family! Such a fun summer, I will post a few of my favs from the summer.

Well I am sure that I could add about a hundred more pictures but I will try to refrain from that. So we are doing very well, Curtis and I are just loving looking back on this past year and wondering how we ever lived with out our beautiful girl. We love all of our family and friends and thank them for everything you have all done for us. Love you all!

Easter

2010-04-10T06:37:00.000-07:00

I also wanted to show you this video of Ruby reading her book in the car.
This was Ruby's first Easter and she got lots of great things of all her grandparents! Grandma Steed and Great Grandma Garfield got her a beautiful Easter dress. She looked so cute, she wore it the Sunday before Easter and all the women in our ward said she was the cutest Easter egg! Then Ruby's Gammie brought her a chicken that does the chicken dance...she loves it!!!! and a cute little floppy elephant, new socks, and a white sweater that she needed too. Then her G-pa (my dad) picked out the cutest jumper for her...and Dad it does make her look sweet! Curtis, Ruby and I just stayed home for Easter and watched Conference...Ruby wasn't feeling well either she had a cold. The Easter bunny brought Ruby a new Backyardagains movie. We have already watched it like 3 or 4 times she loves it. Well Curtis and I really enjoyed conference this session, we really enjoyed that it was about parenting and how to teach your kids about the gospel. I also loved that it was about Mothers and their daughters, that helped me out alot. We love the gospel and are trying to teach Ruby to love it as well..even at the very young age! Thanks to all of Ruby's Grandparent she loves everything she got!

The week at Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth's

2010-03-26T21:25:00.000-07:00

So Ruby and I went to my Mom and Dad's house for the a few days last week. We went with Auntie Raegan, it was a fun girls week...well and my Dad. We had a blast!!! It was a nice vacation after quitting my job to stay home with my beautiful baby girl! While we were gone Curtis went with his dad, Uncle, and brother in laws to a Jazz game....luckily the Jazz won and they had great seats (row 26) they were so excited and had a great time! Then that weekend was Curtis and mine 2nd year anniversary, we had a great weekend hat home, Raegan and Logan took Ruby up to my Mom and Dad's again for the weekend. It was hard at first and then right at the end when we wanted her home. We realized how quiet our house is without her little noises she makes while she sleeps...Grandma said that the first night she didn't sleep every well because of all of the noise Ruby makes. They all ended up having a great time. I just wanted to let my husband know how much I love him and that these past two years have been great! We have a great daughter and a wonderful amount of love for each other and her. I love you so much! can't wait to see what this next year brings us. Thanks so much to my parents for helping with Ruby...and to Auntie Rae and Uncle Log for all the help they did too in taking care of Ruby. We love all of our families and the wonderful things that they have done for us! here are some pics for you to enjoy!

PS Ruby also has been talking more and more she is getting so load and we LOVE it!

The Holiday's

2010-01-13T21:15:00.000-08:00

So we spent Christmas this year with the Steed's. It was a great Christmas, we had all 3 babies there together for their first christmas'. Curtis and I loved spending time with his family for those few days. Then my parents came into town to do christmas with us. It was great! We want to thank every one for the great christmas and all the wonderful things you gave us. We were so excited for Ruby's first christmas and she was wide awake at 7 a.m. and then by the time everyone was awake she and the boys were all sleeping again. So Daddy helped Ruby open all her presents, and she has been enjoying them ever since.

Ruby is doing so well she is getting to be such a big girl! She turned 3 months yesterday...sad for Mommy and Daddy but we are loving the new stage that she is at. We love her beautiful smile and her giggles and coos. She is always talking to me and her Dad, we think that when she starts to use real words that she will talk non stop...it will be great! She also got her shots and did great. I can't say the same her here parents though. Curtis and I both had a hard time listening to her cry when they poked her, she did really well with them only a little fever at night. She weighs now 10 lbs. 3 oz. she is just moving right along. She loves to stand and jump on our laps, she also loves her bath time more than ever. Kicking and trying to drink the water has become her favorite. Ruby also loves to spend time with her Auntie Raegan during the days while we are at work. Thanks Rae! Well we are so excited to share Ruby's pictures and progress with you.

Ruby's Week of First's

2009-11-30T20:47:00.000-08:00

Yes, can any of you believe it Ruby came home last Monday November 23, 2009. They said it would probably be until her due date and she pretty much did. We went to the hospital surprised to take her home, I cried, of course. So Curtis and I were so excited as soon as we got her home we introduced her Bruiser, our dog, then showed her the wonderful room that we put together for her. Ruby was the most awake we have ever seen her. Curtis's parents surprised us at the hospital, while mine were on their way to spend the week with us for Thanksgiving. We were very excited to share Ruby coming home with our family. Our first night was rough, I think mostly for me, I didn't sleep at all. Every noise she made I was over checking on her, not to mention the every 4 hour feedings. I would like to say that she would be a great night sleeper if we didn't have to wake her up and feed her. Then we spent the next couple of days with my family. We went to the doctor on Wednesday and he said she is doing great! Good Job Ruby! Finally Thanksgiving Day had arrived, and we bathed her for the first time at home, she did pretty good. Got her all ready for the day and went over to Patti's. My Aunt Melissa held her, she was the center of the party! Every one thought she was great. She got to meet her Great Grandpa Bob (G-Bob). Dinner was really good, then Ruby and Daddy went back home for some Daddy daughter time, while i went to the movies with Tyler, Rae, Logan and my Mom. We saw Old Dogs, really funny by the way. Ruby's first Thanksgiving and she loved it I'm sure lol. Then Friday my parents went back home, and the Steed family came over to see her. Katelyn finally got to meet her and hold her. So did Grandma Garfield, and Holly for the first time. Church was and interesting experience. I got her ready we all looked great, and as soon as we got to church it was time to feed her, so I went out and fed her missing Relief Society. When I came back it was just in time for the prayer for Sunday School and during the prayer Ruby decided to do this gagging cough and then burp really loud!!! After the prayer was over everyone turned around and was laughing, so I told them "excuse us". She slept during the rest of that class and when we got to Sacrament I started to feel funny. So I checked my blood sugar and my level was low, we stayed to take the sacrament and then came home so I could take care of myself. It was an interesting day. Uncle Ron and Aunt Nicole came over to hold Ruby as well for the first time. It was nice to visit with them. I just want to say that we are very thankful for our beautiful baby girl! Also for the wonderful family that came to see her and is always there for us. We love all of you, I hope that you enjoy all the pictures of her first week.

Ruby 1 Month!

2009-11-14T22:41:00.000-08:00

So Curtis and I just can't believe how fast our Ruby is growing. She is already a month old, we are going to give everyone and update on how she is doing. First of all no, she is not home from the hospital yet. But she is doing great in there, the doctor said that she is improving just as they thought she would for how young she is and coming from a diabetic Mommy. So Curtis and I are trying to give her as much rest as she needs so we can hopefully get her home for Thanksgiving! Keep your fingers crossed and we could use all the prayers for our little girl!

Ruby is doing great, she is eating more and more every day. Ruby is getting big too she weighs 6lbs 12oz as of Sunday night. she is beautiful she still has her blue eyes and she is getting a little personality, when she is awake lol. Curtis and I got to giver her a bath last night, and she did great! She was happy and alert, holding her Daddy's hand, eating soap and kicking around. Ruby also had her first Halloween and she was super cute. Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth bought her an outfit that said "I love my mummy" she was so cute in it but was a mess by the time we got there. She was cute entertaining her Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Logan and Auntie Raegan. Then she was tired for her next feeding when Daddy went to see her and her Grandma and Grandpa Steed but they got lots of pictures....its a good thing she is super cute when she sleeps. Here are more pictures of her.

Girls Night with Rodney Atkins

2009-09-26T19:16:00.000-07:00

Raegan, Mom and I all went to the Blackfoot fair concert, with Rodney Atkins!! He had an amazing concert it was so much fun to hang out with my mom and sister doing something we haven't ever got to do before. So the guys are not into country music so they dropped us off and went to Idaho Falls and ate at Red Robin, which they said was so good! Curtis and I love to hang with all of you guys thanks for a great weekend. here are some fun pictures of the concert.

28 weeks, birthdays, and Football!!!

2009-09-02T10:35:00.000-07:00

We have had a lot of birthdays this month and the baby and I have grown a lot as well. We celebrated Raegan's birthday, sorry Rae my camera didn't have batteries at our dinner..then we celebrated Susie's birthday, Nicole wrote on her cake "happy mom" because she said it was to long to write birthday and it was hard lol, she is going into the cake decorating business. Then Monday was Curtis' birthday and we all went to dinner at Chili's and then had cake and ice cream, that I think most everyone forced down...because we were so full from dinner. It was lots of fun we had almost everyone there we were just missing Ron (Nicole's hubby) and my Mom and Dad. Curtis has had his first football game. He is helping coach Century's JV team. they played Burley last week and kicked their butts!!!! I think it was 46-6 so much fun to go and watch! Well I am now at 28 weeks and feeling huge and her move so much. I love when she moves, except for when she kicks my hip bones that is not so much fun. I am feeling really great, i have a caught the flu/cold so I feel crappy today but pregnancy wise I'm great, and so is Ruby! Only 12 more weeks to go...is it too early to start counting down? lol wish the best for everyone and we love and miss you all.

Baseball Weekend

2009-08-16T17:37:00.000-07:00

We just realized that summer is coming to a close and so we decided to go and do something really fun. Curtis got us Chuckers baseball tickets from work for the Friday night game. We drove to Idaho Falls after I got off work. We ate at Red Robin...one of my favorite places, it was great. Then it was off to the baseball game, that was so fun it was kinda chilly though. To bad the chuckers had an off night and they lost pretty badly. That doesn't really matter cuz we had a great time just getting out and enjoying the weather and each other. Today Curtis made us a great dinner we BBQ kabobs and had rice and corn on the cob it was great. so there are some pictures of Curtis enjoying cooking outside on this beautiful August day. We have enjoyed this summer and really don't want it to end.

Where has the summer gone?

2009-08-09T20:04:00.000-07:00

Wow I can't believe that it is already into August. Well baby Ruby and I are doing good. we just went to the doctor and she is growing great, I will be 25 weeks this week. it has been going by quickly. still so much to do though! Curtis is going to be starting school here in about 2 or 3 weeks, he starts his new work schedual, the morning shift 4 a.m. wish him luck! then he also starts coaching football at Century tomorrow. We'll let everyone know who he'll be coaching and everything. we are excited for our new year to start with school and having our little girl come 3 months!!! yay

4th of July

2009-07-19T22:02:00.000-07:00

Well I forgot that I didn't write about the 4th of July yet, and since its also my birthday i wanted to tell my family thanks for everthing. My parents came down from Hailey to stay with us during my birthday, my mom and I went shopping for maternity clothes and probably ended up getting more baby clothes...they are much cuter and easier to pick out!!! But we did end up finding me some clothes I can wear during these extremely HOT days. Curtis got me a great new pair of shoes that I can wear to work and out so my feet don't hurt so bad. That night Curtis had to work so my parents, Bruiser and I all went to watch the fireworks, but since there was a freak hail/rain storm that happened on our way to dinner, the fireworks were delayed a little bit. but they were great as usual, my favorite part of my birthday..fireworks and birthday songs lol. Then on sunday my parents, Raegan and Logan, Curtis' parents, and all his sisters and their spouses came over to our house for our very first bbq/birthday party for me. It was great steaks, chicken and hot dogs, lots of salads and chips...plus great homemade ice cream and some cake too! so much fun to have all of our families together. I just wanted to say thanks to my parents for coming down, like they do every year, and my in-laws for being so great, my sister and her hubby for coming by after their long weekend, and my wonderful husband for getting all of this together for me. it one of the best birthdays and I'll never forget it. I love all of you!!!!

Reunion in Hailey

2009-07-11T22:09:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we had our first, I think ever family reunion, with the Farnsworth's! We went for the week up to Hailey, where my parents live and hung out there. It was so much fun! We got to spend some time with our cousin's Max and Zach to we don't usually see but only twice a year or so. They are just the cutest little guys ever. We had a ton of fun, had a family rock band session, dad on the mic, then Raegan, Logan, Mom, Curtis and I all took turns on the drums and guitar. Super hilarious!!!! I think my dad needs a karaoke machine for sure! We drove to Sun Valley and had lunch there then went shopping and walked around, the rain had finally stopped the week we went so we could spend time outside. It was so much fun for Curtis and I to get to announce not only to my parents and Rae and Logan but also to my Aunt Mari, Uncle Brian and Aunt Melissa that we are having a girl. We spent the whole weekend experimenting on good girl names...still not quite sure but may have a keeper. Then Brian, Melissa, Max, Zach and Mari all had to travel back to get home. We stayed a few more days with my parents, we got up early and went yard sale shopping all over Hailey, we found some great deals on lots of baby things, a car seat, baby backpack, running stroller, bottle warmer, baby books and movies, and some puzzles. I love shopping like that way cheaper than the stores!!! lol I'll try to get all of my pictures of the productive and joyful weekend up, so I hope that you enjoy them. Love you Brian, Melissa and kids great to see you!

Our First Anniversary!!!!!!!

2009-03-28T11:46:00.000-07:00

Well one year and come and we are starting on a new one. We had alot of fun this year, with all our sister's wedding's to all the holiday's and family things. We looked over our first year together and decided we wouldn't change it for the world we love all our ups and downs. Curtis suprised me with a weekend away for our annivversary. We left friday and stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Steed's house for a great lunch...thanks for that! :) Then we were off to Salt Lake City for a few days. We stayed in the Anniversary Inn in the jungle room. it was cool with all of the safari animals, like the elephant shower head and the alligator next to the sink. it was covered in rose petals, with flute glasses filled with kisses. We took a walk around temple square Friday afternoon, seeing all the weddings and all the wonderful buildings that were built so long ago. Saturday March 21st was our anniversary day and we decided to go to a session at the SLC Temple it was the most wonderful way to spend our wedding day at the temple just like our day last year. Then we went to eat at Biaggio.....i forget how to spell it let alone say it, restaurant it was fabulous and very romantic. Then on our way home Sunday we stopped to see Grandma Garfield and to our surprise Aunt Mara was there and it was great to see her too. It really was the most wonderful and needed weekend for us. We are looking forward to many many more years as excited and wonderful as the first, with our friends and family as we grow and become closer with one another as our Heavenly Father would probably want for all of us. We love you and thank you for all to help make our first year so memorable.

Valentines Day!!

So for valentines day this year Curtis got me some beautiful flowers that are green and pink roses, two boxes of chocolate..with one that sings, and some lotions and soaps..that are raspberry scented. It was great we celebrated early, because my Mom and Dad came into town and hung out for V-day with us kids. I made dinner for us, we had lemon-pepper chicken, funeral potatoes and veggies. Then we had a great night watching a girly movie and just being romantic...lol. Then on the actual Valentine's day Mom and Dad, Curtis and I, and Logan and Raegan we all went to dinner together at Sizzler's then went swimming and sat in the hot tub at my parents hotel. Fun and relaxing. I love that holiday!! I also love my husband more than anything in this whole world and am so thankful for him and everything he does for me. Happy Valentine's Day

Just An Update

Well I'm not sure how to write this but here it goes. We were so excited about having a baby but unfortunatly we had a miscarriage this last weekend. It was very hard on both of us, but we are doing better now. We are taking things one day at a time. Not to be discouraged we will keep trying and let you all know when we are pregnant again. Until then you will get to hear about what we are doing in our lives, ya know all the fun stuff like school, work, moving and so forth. We would like to let everyone know that we are very thankful for our friends and family, you all have been so great in helping us with everything we need. We love all of you and hope you all are well.
