Happy Daddy's Day

Thanks for being the best daddy. I love everything about you.  My most favorite thing is getting tossed up in the air by you.  Thanks for always making me laugh, changing my dirty diapers, making my bottles, spiking my hair, taking me for walks, buying me cool stuff, and most all loving me.  I love you very much!

xoxox,

Ruby 

The sun was out so Ruby and I went outside for some fun!  My mom gave me some flowers so I gave one to Ruby to explore.  She loved feeling it...tasting it...riping it into millions of pieces...shaking it...etc.  Who know a flower could be so fun.  Here's some pictures...

She totally has the double chin face down.  She seriously makes this face all the time.  I'm so glad I finally caught it with my camera.  
Wow she's so focused!
Look at those teeth...look closely you can see her 2 front teeth.  

P.S.  Funny story about my niece Nalia.  Recently Caylan and Fran have been teaching her to call me "tia", and of course I've been encouraging it too.   But it seems that Nalia is having some trouble with the word.  You see tonight Nalia insisted on calling me Kaiko, yes Kaiko like Kaiko the whale.  I keep telling myself she meant nothing by it, but I'm not sure how people will react when she calls me that in public.  Oh little ones are too funny sometimes.   

Things...

1.  Casey has a job interview on Tuesday (YAY)!  It's for a totally awesome job at Entek, here in Lebanon!!!  He would finally have a normal schedule, you know a Monday thru Friday one.  I'm so so excited...we could finally go to church as a family (that has only happened twice since Ruby was born...sad)

2.  I'm loving being a mommy more and more everyday.  Ruby is learning so much, and she loves to copy everything we do!  She is truly a gift from God, and awesome blessing that gives life a whole new meaning.

3.  Me loving this whole mommy thing is really making me want to get preggers again!  I would like our kids to be pretty close in age, but maybe not this close..who knows.  Plus I still need to get my pre-pregnancy body back...if that will ever happen (sorry Casey)

4.  My good friend Alex just past here dental exam....YAY Alex no more school :)  Maybe we can hangout more!?!?!

5.  Lisa's fun filled wedding celebration weekend is coming up...yay for a fun couple nights out with the girls...and a double yay for Lisa and Jay getting married!  She is honestly going to make the most beautiful bride ever!!

6.  Casey's best friend JJ is getting married to a lovely women named Kaylee in December...I can't wait!  Almost all of Casey's friends that we hangout with are still single, and I am so over being the third wheel!

7.  Tomorrow is my last day of substituting!!  It's been fun but, I'm ready for summer.  High school students are too much sometimes!

8.  Friday is my last dance team function until July 21 st HOLLA!!!

Funny video of Ruby and her daddy...apparently falling over is hilarious!!!!

Birthday Parties and Parades

Tony turned 50! and my team had their first public appearance!  Ruby got to sit by her very first fire at here Papa T's big shindig!  Ruby also got to ride along in her very first strawberry parade...she was a natural.  She waved at everyone, until she fell asleep that is....here's a few pics.

Ruby's wave...

Here's to you...

8 months!  Wow you are so grown up!  

Bathroom updates...

Looking into our newly painted hall....(still no door)

This was demolition day...
pre-flooring...
Tile is down...
Almost finished product...
Who doesn't love a new toilet and sink...
This was a much needed task to be done.  Our bathroom was horrible the absolute worst area in our house, but know it is so wonderful.  I'm in love!  Thank you to our dad's for helping do the grunt work and out mom's for helping with Ruby!  We owe you!
