I seriously can't believe that Ruby is 7 already! We had a fun weekend celebrating her. She is such a vibrant girl, and a ton of fun. We love her so much. We had a party on Saturday for her in the morning because she was invited to her friend's party that afternoon. Lots of celebrating! My parents came up for it and brought Lia and Alera as a surprise. The kids woke up on Saturday morning with the girls sleeping on their floor and thought it was Grandma and Grandpa. Haha! We all had a great time. Here are our pictures from the week.
Reid has been wanting to buy this blue yarn from Michael's with his money for a long time, so we went and got it finally.
He pulled it all around the house like a puppy dog. Haha!
Omelets for dinner, and Ruby wanted it to be a "fancy" dinner. So we got out the candles and she wrapped our silverware in napkins. :)
I took Ruby to school and came back to Miles dressed like this! Hahaha! He loves it.
He also loves to climb up on the toilet and brush his teeth.
Dropping Reid off at preschool. He wanted to hang his water bottle and lunch up in his cubby.
Miles and I went to Winco and he "helped" put the groceries away. He's getting pretty good at stacking!
We made these snow man string cheese guys in preparation for the party.
I'm knitting my first pair of socks! The heel wasn't too hard.
Megan came over on Thursday and I actually was able to get a ton of cleaning and prep done for the party. These guys play together so well when she's here. They all were playing "babies."
I love it when the boys snuggle. So sweet.
Playing Uno.
Our nightly routine. I put Miles to bed because he's still nursing, and Andy reads to the big kids. <3 Ruby's school is all reading a book together, so that's what they've been reading every night.
Ruby came home with this fun project!
I got a Dino doll in the mail from VIPKID and Miles loves it! Not quite as much as Munny though.
I let Ruby open up this dress the night before her birthday so she could wear it the next day. Then she proceeded to get up at 5:15 to put it on!!! It was a long day. :)
The cousins are here!
I made this snowy cake for the party.
The friends are here! Ruby had her two cousins, two friends from school, and two friends from down the street there.
Pin the nose on the snowman!
TP snow girls.
Snowball stomp.
Presents!
We got Ruby this hula hoop, and she is surprisingly VERY good at it! She's been practicing at school. It's supposed to be indestructible, so we'll see. Reid tends to break everything.
Playing with her new things.
Cake time! Ruby's friends were Shania, Penny, Zahra, and Zoey.
She took a long time making a wish.
We gave these stamps out as party favors. Reid had fun decorating the snowman. We also got these ice cream cone popper things that everyone loved.
Kissing cousins.
Ruby got this fun light thing that she can change the letters out.
She went to her friend Shania's party, then we all came back home for some pizza and more presents.
They love matching!
We watched a movie before bed.
The babies were getting sooooo tiiiiirrrreeed.
On Sunday we all went to church, then we came home and Lia read them Ramona.
Our little plumber.
Andy put some Nutella on Miles's tray and he was trying to lick it! It was just hilarious!
Reid made this cool ship.
Ruby got some Legos for her birthday and we had a great time building them together. She's pretty good! I would find the pieces and she put it together.
I love it when they read together sweetly.
Oh Miles.... He makes us laugh a lot.
Morning snack time.
Olaf the bunny at Preschool. We're going to take him home for the weekend in a few weeks!
I took the big kids to drop Reid off at school on Monday because Ruby's school had a grading day.
It was so cute to watch Reid! He's a good student. We had to kill some time from 9-10.
Then at 10 I took Miles and Ruby to OGA (Oregon Gymnastics Academy) for a MOPs play date! It was SO much fun.
Ruby hardly left the trampoline, she loved it!
Miles ran around like a crazy baby and I got a pretty good workout just chasing him. It was SO fun! His favorite was this long trampoline he could just run down. A few times his body went faster than his legs and he wiped out. Haha
Balancing
He loved the bars too. There was also a big foam pit they both had fun with:
Miles would do this every time and just step in. Haha!
We got home and they were both SO tired! Ruby laid down to read for a while and almost fell asleep.
She's seriously good at the hula hoop!
She asked for "5 or 8 nightgowns" for her birthday, and she got 3. My mom made her this cute one. She loves them!
