Ruth at 4

Ruth is four. It is so nice because "It's hard being three," as she would say.
Four gets her so much closer to being at the high school preschool and eventually kindergarten, which is where she wants to be so badly because it's where Daryl is.
At four Ruth loves Moana and can sing all of the songs, though she saw the new Beauty and the Beast and that is winning out more and more. She really likes "The Lion Guard" tv show on Disney Jr. and all things related to that.
She loves hair. She has developed this habit of stroking/playing with her hair and other people's hair. it drives her sisters nuts. To be honest I can only take so much of it. It is a total comfort self calming thing so I am trying to figure out something for her to replace it with.
Her favorite foods are macaroni and cheese, tortillas usually plain no cheese or anything on them, nachos, strawberries, apples, and warm milk. The heated milk is almost like coffee to her. She is an addict. I limit her to two cups a day or else she would mostly exist off of it.  We are working to diversify her diet a bit more.
She loves her baby cousin Ellie, so much and is almost too helpful with her.  She loves to be read to and to snuggle. She still has some jealously when she sees me holding Beth and usually wants to be held too.
She is already ready for her next birthday but "it is taking sooo long to get here."
She continues to be like the little girl with the curl right in the middle of her forehead nursery rhyme.
Daryl and her are either best buds or trying to rip each others arms off. It is something we are working on too.

Happy birthday to your babies! They are getting so big. And the pictures of Janene looked so much like her mother to me.

That's some amazing birthday hat! Also, you've figured out how to make a gif. You're so awesome. Teach me your ways.

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
