Little Buddies

This is Ruthie's little buddy Ian. He is only a little over a month younger than Ruthie. Ian lives in the same apartment complex as us and is in our ward. We love to hang out with him and his mom at the playground. Yesterday was such a nice day to be outside. The kids loved it. And Ian was kind enough to bring some toys to share. This is such a fun age because they are starting to interact a little. They will smile and laugh at each other. They even handed toys back and forth to each other. Well, maybe that only happened twice and it was usually Ian sharing with Ruthie . We hope that if we have them play a lot together now that by the time they are two they will be really good at sharing. Maybe we can skip the whole MINE phase. I love the last picture. It looks like they are cuddling! Don't you think these two are too cute together? We are so lucky to have them in our ward and complex.

On the move

Yesterday we went to the park after dinner. Ruthie loves to be outside. She also likes the slide. Although in this video it looks like she hates it. She usually gets really excited and kicks her legs. It's still cute and it cracks me up the little system Justin has to take her back up to the top for another slide down.



Sunday we hit a milestone. Ruthie is taking more than 2 steps now. She can almost go across the whole room before falling. We have been trying to get it on video but its really hard to get the camera before she's down. Yesterday at the park we got her walking a little. I can't believe my little girl is getting so big. I look at her and she is looking more and more like a toddler. And I can't believe in about two months she will be one! Where has time gone? I feel like I don't cherish the moments of her being a baby enough. I can't hug and kiss her enough. She is my little sunshine and I absolutely adore her!

Vegas Vacation

its a long post....
Last Wednesday was Justin's last day at his old job. We decided that was a perfect amount of time to take a little trip to Vegas before he started his new job Monday. It was so much fun. I can't wait to go back.
On Thursday we went to the Park at Towns square and went to yorgurtland. It is delicious! All of you Las Vegans who haven't gone need to go there. Its by old navy and right across from H&M. Later on that night we went to Justin's house and Ruthie was being such a ham. She loves her Aunt Haley. Haley had her laughing so hard. It was precious!
Then on Friday we went to some museums. Poor Ruthie fell asleep at one. And whenever we go to these museums my mom always treats us to popsicles from Anderson dairy. Later on that night we went to Jodi's to catch up on 24 and eat cafe rio.

Saturday morning we went to eat at the original pancake house with Justin's family. This is probably the best breakfast joint ever! Ruthie fell asleep on the way back to Justin's house so we decided to let Grandma babysit while we went to go get the car smogged and an oil change. It had been over a year.. umm dont ever wait that long to do an oil change. That night we had a delicous bbq at my parents house. I am so excited for summer to come for the warm air, swimming and bbqs! That's Livin!
sorry for the long post but it was an awesome weekend. we love visiting family and are already counting the days till we go back! we love and miss you guys.

Any Ideas?

Lately I have been thinking about things that I can do to make a little extra money. Justin is supporting us and we have the things we need. Its not that we really need it. I just want to have my own little income. There are some things I have my eye on that I want to buy with money that I earned. Its weird I know. Its just something I want to do. So if anyone has any ideas on how I can make a little extra money from home I would love to hear them!

If it doesn't get all over the place....

It doesn't belong in your face! Man this girl can make a mess when she is eating... just look at that face. She always seems to be the messiest right after I give her baths. I find food everywhere. Places like the back of her head and even in her ear. How is that even possible? Lets just say eating around here is full of excitement!

Valentines Dress

Ruthie likes to use this toy as support to walk around the house. She pushes our kitchen chairs all around the kitchen too, but the guy down stairs thought that was a little noisy.
