we tried to force lots of sleep on the little one before the californian clan arrived.....luckily it wasn't too hard
Raquel (Marty's sister) is due in Feb. with a little "Lucy Bonino", and Diane just ate her little grandson up.
Jeremy practices being a Big Brother to a newborn...he is the baby of the fam now and will be 9 years older than Lucy...
What a natural
we spent some time at an arcade for the boys, luckily it had a slide for Rubster, she even made grandma go down head first 3 or 4 times ...the things you do for grandchildren....I guess.....
we went bumper car driving...I got more into it than my two nephews...I loved it, it's nice to let loose (what?)
after a lunch at Cafe Rio, we went to Thanksgiving Point and saw an IMAX dinosaur movie-AWESOME, and went thru the museum...again...AWESOME...only it costs 14$ a body...kinda pricey but well worth it one time... it was for me anyway
Ruby still loves her auntie Kim....she's partial to girls that look alot younger than they are?...I won't disclose her age
I'm not the mean mother it may appear to be in this pic.....but the shark was so cool looking and I knew it would be cooler with Ruby in it...I didn't think she'd be horrified by the cute little thing...it's not like he's real!
Liam was blessed this weekend too, we planned it around the family being in town...so after the sacrament mtg. in which we both had to speak (cuz we're new in the ward) (yes, I did fine and Marty did great and I cried pretty much thru my whole talk...) we had both families over to our humble little abode for soup and bread and deserts....everyone...although a bit crammed...FIT!!
Marty gave a beautiful blessing and both dads were in the circle and my grandpa (which was really neat he was well enough to attend) and the bishop ...oddly they were all the same heigth...so no one seemed short? It was like one of those eye tricks...
I have to brag about this beautiful blanket knitted by the one and only mother-in-law Diane....she is amazing and sooo talented, this pic doesn't do it justice, it is so soft and I absolutely love the colors....
Russ played Santa Clause......he asked Ruby what she wants to say to santa....she said "thank you" then he asked what santa says, hoping to get a ho ho ho....instead he got a "your welcome"
Last night we dressed up to go to the Weber County Bar Christmas Party for Marty's profession...it was interesting to get a glimpse into the attorney world .....still don't know if Marty's sold on it.....but it was pretty fun

This is the only house that Ruby and her cousin Brooks were together....he went at a much faster pace than she, even though he's 6 months younger, ya think she could out run him ....not, especially in her frilly skirt, she actually ate it once on the sidewalk so we decided to take it at our own pace after that.
Ruby's wand made a magical sound when she waved it, she was pretty excited
My dad was a skunk trainer?
Ruby kept her wings on and Brooks kept his cap on, that was the big accomplishment of the night.
Ruby's getting good at changing "chelle-bears" (the bear that her aunt Michelle gave her) diaper....if only she'd understand that she is a "big girl" now and if she's old enough to CHANGE diapers she certainly old enough not to wear them herself, right? no, she's still not potty trained , I gave up for a time...any suggestions?
