Happy Valentine's Day

Odds and Ends

Rubie is now drawing actual pictures with faces. They are blob like creatures with no bodies - anyone that has taught kindergarten is familiar with these creatures...

For Rubie's birthday, she received a sock puppet making kit. We finally broke down and put a few together. I made the cow, and Ramon made the dinosaur (with Rubie's "help" of course)...





This picture is here to show just how spoiled our dog is. Not only does she sleep in bed, under the covers every night, she also has to stick her snoot out so that she is perfectly comfortable...

um...thanks, Rubie

please excuse the cell phone quality.

Shoes

Here is an interesting fact about Ramon: He has worn the same type of shoe since before I met him. He owns 2-3 pairs of the same shoe, and he has a system. The newest pair is for fancy occasions - going out, etc. The next cleanest pair is for everyday use, and the oldest pair is reserved for yard work, etc. It must be a family thing, his brother wears the same ones. Yesterday, Rubie got her first pair (Don't worry, she will wear other shoes as well)...

Happy 10th Birthday, Cousin Brandon

Black and White Strike Again

Rubie put on this hat today. She loves to play in hats. Miley and Irelyn are not fans of this hat, they cry and cry when I put it on them to take their picture. I thought I would try my luck with Rubie. Still working on the black and white. I don't have it quite right, yet.


You know how I know that it's not quite right? Look carefully at her nose. Wait, there isn't one - only nose holes, no nose...

Even Henry likes to get in on the black and white...

Gramma and Henry

Gramma and Henry came over to play the other day...




Here, I am attempting to get a picture of the three of them...

Please note Rubie's body language. Sharing is not one of her stengths...
