Randi and Ruby!!

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.

Ruby 14 months and growing!!!!

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!!!

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!
