Wintertime

A few pictures of what we've been doing this winter.  We were lucky enough to be able to have Grandma Cathy come be with us before and spend Christmas with us.  It was really fun.  Ruby has such a personality, she always makes scrunchy faces and I finally got one on camera!  After that we headed down to Arizona to surprise Brady's family, the park pictures were all taken there.  Lucy had a great time visiting with her cousins she doesn't get to see very often.  We also celebrated Ruby's first birthday.  She had a great time, was very interested in the candle on her cake and, yeah, got a litttle too close! Not a huge deal though, luckily!  The girls were really cute on Christmas, we got Ruby a little piano because that girl can dance! She hears music a mile away and she really knows how to move, it's hilarious.  We gave Lucy my dollhouse from when I was 8, I cleaned it all up and it still looks new, she loves it.  Enjoy!

Halloween Babies

The girls loved Halloween.  Why wouldn't they, free candy and dressing up!  Lucy especially was into it this year, it was the first time she's really starting to get it.  It was super cute to watch her say "trick or treat" run around to the doors.  We trick or treated at this nursing home, we've gone every year, and it's really sweet.  Lucy is always so cute, this year, she told all the people, I have to get one for Rhubarb.  So she would get one for herself, then get another one and put it in Ruby's bucket.  So sweet.  We also had a chance to go to Cornbellys which is a really fun place for kids that is right up the street from us.  They have pumpkins, rides, big bouncy pillows, haybale mazes, and more.  The girls had a great time.  Lucy is also swinging and playing outside in our backyard.  She loves it, she could swing out there all day!  Pumpkin carving was really fun, she wanted a cat on hers!  She wasn't afraid of the slime and guts either.

I love NY

I got to visit NY this summer.  I try to go every summer and I've been lucky enough to be able to go again this year!  I took Ruby with me and we had all kinds of adventures.  We had a great time with Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Mark.  It was the first time that Grandpa Mark had been able to meet Ruby so it was extra special.  She also got to meet Great Grandma Barbara.  She loved her right away, smiling and laughing at her.  Here are a few pictures from the trip!
