What would I do without an older sibling to help with this little chunkers.
Just call her the 'get the baby to sleep' pro...
Rube's got spoiled with lots of celebrations this year for her birthday. One with my family and ALL her little cousins.
On her 'actual' birthday.....for breakfast in bed she wanted 'monkey bread and grapefruit. What a combo!
Then the night of her big day, Grandma Diane flew in from Cali and spent several days with us!
Her friend Xander (in the middle) is only 6 months older than she. This is what happens when two tall people fall in love and Ruby is what happens when two short people fall in love....quite opposites!
Grandma Diane toughed out the craziness at McDonalds...so glad to have her there. It was sooo great to have the visit! Thanks, we love you...
And to top it off .... can you get over this 'can-can' skirt she made for Rube's birthday!?... no, knitting is NOT her only talent apparently.! To buy the pattern for this you can go here . This blog is AMAZING and has so many crafty things to make...
It was all about tinkerbell this year! 
and last but not least....Grandpa Lee and Merry came to celebrate days later... so literally this b-day thing was stretched to it's capacity. And tinkerbell now reigns over our household...
Side note....a silly attempt at Easter pictures...notice everyone leaning down and in to keep up with Charlie's slumpiness. 
this one is a wee bit better...

Diane is amazing, between all the things she's made for Amy's girls and for your kids. I'm completely jealous.
So cute. Ruby's skirt is so adorable. I also love the easter pictures. They all look so cute. Your kids are beautiful. I am glad Ruby had such a fun stretched birthday. Love ya.
Happy Birthday Ruby! I can't believe how much I see of you in her beautiful face! She is so cute! Glad to see ya posting again...its so hard to keep in touch!
Love it all. I can't believe Ruby is 5 and I had NO idea Xander was that close in age! Wow!!! Liam looks so old in those Easter pics. Happy Bday to your princess!
Is she really 5!? I remember her looking over the back of the church pews and enchanting everyone sitting behind your family when she was like 8 months old. Happy Birthday Miss Ruby.
And I love the Easter pictures- it really is impossible to get a good shot of kids together. But good thing they are cute even if they aren't all looking and smiling at the same time.

That has got to be nice to have a girl to help with some of the mothering. :) I would teach that girl some cleaning skills ASAP...Is there a recommended age? Looks like Rubes (can i call her Rubes?) brought in the number 5 with style. You have such cute kiddos!!
