Something is Not Right Here...

Let me set the scene - I gave Ramon a dress to put on Rubie so that he could take her to music class. A few minutes later he says, "So, do I button these buttons under her arm?" Now, I have put that dress on Rubie many times and I don't ever remember buttons under the arm. So, I call her into the office and this is what I see...

These are the buttons that are supposed to be on her back....


Here she is singing about an octopus in her crooked dress...

Gulp, gulp, gulp (part of the song)...

And here they are in the kitchen "hiding." hmmmmm - where ARE they?

2nd place

I am in a photo club (no comments necessary), and I won 2nd place in their photo contest! The topic was "food and drink."

Sunday Morning...

I snapped a few pictures before we hopped in the car to go have breakfast with Grandpa Dave. Too bad she wasn't this sweet at the restaurant. Dad was trying to tell me a story about an insurance guy, but I was having a coughing fit and Rubie was jumping all over the booth, grabbing everything on the table. It was a nightmare. I was trying to listen, dad, I promise...

Lately, when I ask her to smile, this is what I get...


Here she is getting a piggy back ride from daddy...

6 Months Old!

I can't believe they are 6 months old! Kelly and Burger's twins are the cutest twins ever. They had a shaky start in life, and you would never know it. They are feisty, full of attitude, and have BIG personalities!

No More Pictures, Mama...

Leilani's 1/2 birthday

Today was Lani's 1/2 birthday party. We celebrated her 1/2 birthday because on her actual birthday she was sick, and sick for the next 5 months. We are so thankful to have her back and healthy (after hospitalization, and several procedures)! We celebrated at Jumping Jacks, and the girls had a blast!

I cannot even begin to tell you what a great family Lani has (of course we knew her mom and dad were great, but everyone else is as well). They knew who Rubie was when they spotted her in the parking lot! Lani's grandma (Grandy), said she has a picture of Rubie, and made sure Rubie was having a good time throughout the whole party! When passing out cake, she made sure Rubie had her cake before all of the other kids. They are an amazing family, and Leilani is one lucky little girl (though, they are lucky, too). Here are some pictures from the day...

nightmares?

Lately, Rubie has not been wanting to go to bed (and by "not been wanting" I mean - kicking and screaming). We figured out that she had a nightmare about the trash man (we heard the nightmare, and she kept saying "trashman"). It has been several days now, and she won't go to bed at night or take a nap without a tantrum. I'm open to suggestions. Help, please. Here are some pictures from today...


Here she is playing patty cake with her dad...
