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.

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

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...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
