soccer star

Ruby was on a little indoor soccer team this Winter.  She was the only girl on the team!  It is so entertaining to watch little kid soccer.  Ruby does not quite get the "team" concept yet.  She would get so jealous of anyone with the ball and if anyone bumped into her (which happened a lot), she would run after them full speed sticking her tongue out and giving them the dirtiest look I have ever seen!  She is fooling you with that sweet smile... she means business!

my two little valentines.

Ruby vs. Greta

I wish I would have taken a photo of her actual little valentines. They were so cute. Here is a screen shot of what the front of them looked like. She had such a great time exchanging valentines at school and opening them all when she got home. Valentine's Day was one of my favorite days are school when I was little. I loved making my Valentine's box and then proudly showing it off to all of my friends and seeing what they came up with. We used to go all out, it was the best.

Our little VDay breakfast.

i had a birthday...

Shout hooray!! Yep, one year older and wiser too! Here is some cute Bday artwork from Ruby. She is becoming quite the little artist/writer.

Birthdays on Sundays are a little more low key. And, since it is so close to Valentine's Day... we usually just celebrate both together. Friday night, we had a date night and went out to celebrate. We got a sitter (which to Ruby is the greatest thing in the world) and went out to dinner and a Utah Jazz game. Then, tonight we had Sunday dinner & cake (I requested yummy pot roast) at my parents house. It was a special treat to have my Grandpa Loran (92 years old) there with us.
