Heat wave.

Last week 80 degree temperatures allowed us to put on shorts and enjoy the local park.

On our way into the park, Rubi noticed a squirrel climbing a tree. She really liked the squirrel which she affectionately named mouse.

As always, we had a really great time and the park. Rubi even stopped and posed in a picture for her mother (gasp).

By the time we were heading home, Rubi was making this face. This is the face of a child who no longer wants her picture taken...it has taken me some time, but i've figured out when (according to her face) to put the camera away.

Easter

Easter morning Rubi told us she was ready for the "Easter tree". We explained the bunny didn't bring a tree but he did leave her some gifts in a basket.

After opening all of her gifts from the bunny at our house, Rubi headed to Grammy's house for the hunt.

This year, Rubi actually enjoyed looking around for eggs. Considering she was the only child involved in the hunt, she did really well.

(above) The first time Rubi's ever touched a hard boiled egg, which we told her contained chocolate.

Aunt Katye blew bubbles for Rubi for most the afternoon, which was a wonderful Easter present for us.

Somehow at the end of the day Dad and Rubi ended up in a creek throwing rocks, yes white tights and all IN A CREEK.

Happy Easter.
