Blessed!

 Today was Ruby's blessing day.  She's wearing the dress my mom and I made when Leah was blessed.

 My sweet sister Abby: she had her mission call to Vancouver, Canada.

 Five people is a REAL family.  It's so fun!

 She was a doll all day.

She's got big blue eyes just like he siblings

LOVE this baby girl!

 Ruby is almost a month now.  These pictures were taken at 1 week old by my cousin Callie (calliehobbsphotography.com)

At her 2 week appointment Ruby she was 7lb. 14oz. and 21 inches.  So she grew 1 pound and 1 inch. This girl has been our best baby so far, a great sleeper and just a very happy, relaxed baby.  Bowen and Leah really like having her around.   Leah always worries if she cries, and she is so careful with Ruby.  I'm amazed how well the older kids have transitioned.  I've had an easy time transitioning too, but I'm sure it's because I haven't cooked, cleaned or gone anywhere yet.  It's RSV season in Utah and I don't want this little girl to get sick.

Ruby Jane!

We were blessed with the arrival of Ruby Jane.  Dec. 30th, 2012. 6 lb. 13 oz. 20 in.  She's a doll and we LOVE her!

Fianlly Snow!

 We were so excited to have some snow this weekend! Bowen and Seth built a snowman a snow castle.  I waddled around with Leah.  10 days til my due date!

 Mall toys (they don't know you can put a quarter in these yet)

 Going backwards, piling up leaves in our back yard.

 Cousins came to town for Thanksgiving

 My sweet grandma Shirley.  Don't see her as much as I used to when we lived in Provo. I miss her!

 More cousin time and Abby's dorm room at BYU

Sweet baby Shelby at 6 weeks old (now 2 1/2 months old)

Fall flew by!

We did so many fun things this fall including...

 Leah watched Abby at the Swiss Day's parade (my sister won Miss Wasatch first attendant)

 Bowen started his second year of preschool and can even write his name now.

 We enjoyed the Utah State Fair with cousins

 Leah moved into her big girl bed (only 6 more weeks until the baby comes)

 Bowen played soccer for the first time.  He loved to run fast and steal the ball.  He was really glad his team didn't have any girls (haha).

 Seth played baseball in a BYU alumni game for the first time.

 We drove to Vacaville, CA to visit grandma Leona & grandpa Chuck and Rich & Rona.

 We also went to Modest to see Grandma and Grandpa Zwahlen.

 Back in Utah, we played with Grandpa Barry's dogs.

 Enjoyed dressing up with cousins.

 Spiderman!!!

Cinderella!
