Going to a Jazz Game

With two of her best buddies (three including "butka" scott)

**As you can see, Ruby is still in denial that Deron is gone. Wear it with pride, girl :)

**And how could we forget...GO BYU!

What you looking at?

Mid-dinner Ruby says, "Look Dad!" and when Hugh looks Ruby is making her scary monster face.

Which then proceeded to this face.

Enjoying some spaghetti

Then on to the good stuff...pink ice cream. Her own teeny Hagaan-Daaz tub.

These pics are from our little St. George get-away over President's Day weekend. We picked a bad week weather wise. Overcast, rainy, and even some snow. So as you can see, we ate, watched movies, and did manage to venture out to the indoor pool. Ruby loved the slide and couldn't get enough of it. On the one nice day, we walked down to our favorite little vintage candy shop and bought a soda and some candy. Then stopped at the park to toss the frisbee. Ruby loved chasing after the frisbee. Despite the weather...it was the perfect family weekend. Just the three of us enjoying each other. Thanks Grandma Meyer for letting us stay in your place.

When the sun shines...

McCall and I go and put a banner in front of Deron William's sub-divison to send him off. It's no secret that my family is huge jazz fans...and although we know the trade is in the best interest of our team, it is quite sad watching Deron play for someone else. It just doesn't seem fair. **Believe it or not, the banner was Hugh's idea!**

We get our pedicure on so our toes are sandal ready when the sun gets comfortable and decides to stay awhile.

Ruby asked her dad to paint her toes last night. He diverted to aunt Call or mom...Ruby immediately marched off to find Call. I guess I'm just not trusted to paint toes nails well.
