Moving

Just after we finished the girls bedroom and bathroom in the basement.

Rod dropped the bomb.

I think we need to move.

Over many conversations and lots of prayer we were putting our house up for sale.

Our house sold in 13 days on KSL.

WE are building a new house just south of old house.

I am really excited for our new house and the new adventure.

I wont lie there have been lots of tears and lots of worry.

We lived in the perfect circle.

Our neighbors are the most wonderful people and we will so miss seeing them everyday.

But we are excited (or at least I kept telling myself that) for the future.

We moved out in July and moved into Grandmas house.

Our new house will be finsihed the middle of November.

Ruby loved all the empty cabinets.

Poor Meg

After Sunday night dinner all our neighbors were playing outside.

I told the kids they could play for 15 minutes and then it was bedtime.

I should have been on top of my advice to the kids.

All the kids were playing in the backyard and Meg decided to jump off the swings.

and then...

Parades, Picnics and THE Carnival

June and July were full of lots or parades, picnics and the Carnival

 Ruby learned to fold her arms and say a pray.

It is so funny she pulls her arms up and just mumbles.

Happy Birthday Hank

 Happy Happy Birthday my little guy.

You are such a funny little kid.

You make me laugh every single day.

Baseball is your favorite thing to play.

You are excellent at throwing, battling and running.

But your very most favorite is riding your bike.

Gayle and Dale let you borrow a bike and you learned to ride a two wheeler and age 3.

So you decided you wanted a bike for your birthday.

We found this ORANGE bike.

Your favorite color.

You love snacks and treat and Dad's pop.

 

Happy Birthday!

Ruby turns {1}

I know I say this every single birthday of everyone of my children, but they are growing to fast.

Ruby is such a joy in our life.

She has the sweet eyes and big cheesy grin.  

She loves to wave to people. 

She give great big open mouth kisses.

Ruby and Elsie has a shared birthday party.

 She acted just like the little princess she is in eating her cake.

She just touched little bit with her fingers.

Until her sisters thought it would be funny to smash her hands into her cake and get her all messy.

 After a couple tastes she decided she was done eating her cake.

She wanted mommy and to get ready for bed.

Ruby are bring so much joy and sunshine to our home.

We love you!

Happy Birthday!
