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!

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!

Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to have our family pictures taken. It was long overdue! Ruby is 7 months old, I can't even believe it!

Summertime

We started out the summer by spending some time at our friend's cabin. Lucy had her first experience on a 4 wheeler. I'd say she's a natural!

Throwing rocks into the river, what could be more fun?!

About 2 days after that Lucy and I headed out to New York to visit my family. Here she is with Great Grandma Barbra. I'd say she loved her instantly :)

Sitting at the counter in the house I grew up in. My mom keeps these tiny glasses around just for when the grandkids come. They are perfect for her little hands. She enjoyed OJ every morning just like this. She was in heaven.

My older brother and his wife Dorothy got sealed in the Palmyra Temple and I was lucky enough to be there for it.

Lucy loved all my mom's flowers.

She got to eat out on the picnic table, it was so beautiful there.

Every day was spent like this!

If you know me you know that Mark's Pizza is the best pizza ever and it's only in NY! I had to get my fill of it for the next year while I was there and of course I had to introduce Lucy to it. She loved it, but if she hadn't, I don't think she would really be my daughter.

She loved getting a bath in the sink by Grandpa Mark.

On the porch

Her first experience with a snake! She wasn't even scared!

Cupcakes with Grandma

Feeding the ducks

Relaxin in the hammock. This sums up our time there, it was so relaxing, we had the best time ever.

A few days after we got home from NY, literally, like a week and half, we headed to California to spend some time with Brady's family. Lucy got quite familiar with the pool and otter pops.
