Labor Day Weekend

Rubi helping Kyle put candles on the burger cake. If he wasn't her favorite person before this moment, he quickly became her favorite.

Rubi spent most of the cookout following Kyle around the house. If he wasn't within eye sight, Rubi would ask everyone...hey, where did kyle go?

Harrison popped in for a visit this weekend. Most of the time he was at our house, Rubi tried to convince him that he really didn't want to play with any of her toys.

Monday we (again) went to Kirby for a leisurely bike ride and to walk around the park.

my twenty something...

All week, we've made it a point to get to a park everyday. It's been 85 degrees and sunny for the past couple of days, we didn't want to waste the last few weeks of summer inside the house. Yesterday we went on a long bike ride to the park.

This is very similar to my face on the monkey bars.

I didn't really notice while taking this picture just how big Rubi really is. Now, I realize there is absolutely no baby left in this toddler. Rubi is growing like a weed, she is taller than most of the children in her class. Occasionally she lets her crazed mother cradle her like a baby and rock her to "sleep". Yes, my baby is all grown up crazy.

Every time we are at this particular park, Rubi runs up to this viewing post and shouts "There's an animal in trouble!" For those of you who don't have the pleasure of watching at least an hour of Nickelodeon a day, this is a quote from the Wonder Pets.

MY BABY!
