This was a weird birthday for me, because my baby is 4!

Not only am I already out of the baby phase, I am now out of the toddler phase too!! Don’t quite know how I feel about that yet.  

But, this child slows down for no one, so I am just trying to keep up and enjoy it.  

Ruby is a funny mix of girly girl and wild child.  She loves all things pink and princesses. 

But, then she loves her potty jokes, shooting you with guns, playing monster, and wresting too. Every day ends with her looking completely disheveled and covered in dirt.  

This is what the bathtub looks like after ruby has been bathed.  

She highly dislikes it when I put her in dresses and always chooses sweats, t-shirts and her pink converse when I let her have complete control of her outfits.  

Her favorite outfit: minnie shirt, pink shoes and crew’s old sweats. 

Ruby is one of the toughest and strongest kids I know.  She will have an epic scooter crash and then hope right back up to finish her lap. 

She will jump off the couch, miss her landing pad and just get back up and do it again.  She is constantly covered in bruises and she rarely gives her injuries a chance to heal before the scabs get ripped off at the next crash.  

Ruby loves her siblings, she loves her friends.  Her favorite colors are pink and purple.  She loves makeup and accessories .  Nothing makes her happier than to have macey do her makeup, but don’t even think about trying to do her hair. :) 

She is one well loved child and soaked up all the attention on her birthday. 


 And screamed and whined when she didn’t get it and then these 3 came running, she knows how to get them to work for her.  

She requested a pink pony cake.  She was pleased with what I came up with, even though it looked nothing like the ones Macey was showing her on pinterest. :) 

Ruby, Macey and I matched for church, I just could’t resist.  :)

Then we had the O’neals and Rensinks over for cake and ice cream before Paul raced up to SLC for the Rockets vs Jazz game.  


I love this fierce, independent, cuddly, and wild girl.  She keeps life exciting and never allows me to get bored.
