Ruby is getting to be a big girl

What a sweetheart! She is getting so big and so close to sitting up all by herself with no supervision. Here are some photos from the dinner table this evening.

Well those were the clean photos before we started eating...after dinner both Oliver and Ruby were ready for a bath!

Easter

The Easter bunny did come and hide some Easter baskets for Ruby and Oliver. Check it out...

Max and Ruby plates...sweet!

Woody and Bullseye...oh and a chocolate bunny...well, it was a chocolate bunny

We made the long trip over to Jim and Karen's house for an Easter Party. Here is Karen and Ruby getting their cooking on!

Much of the crew: Oliver, Joan, David, Molly, Kate, Ruby, Doug, Julia, Nicole, Tanner, Kelly

Now it was time for the much anticipated Easter Egg Hunt! Go Oliver Go!

I think he spotted something...

Sweet - a blue egg!

What, they don't all have candy? Maybe I can use this to buy Murdoch (the Thomas character)?

Julia was also successful in finding her eggs.

Easter weekend

Easter weekend kicked off with a trip to Bellevue Pres for the kids service and an Easter Egg hunt. Here we go before the service trying to get one good photo of the two kiddos together.

Sure looks to me like they are communicating to each other...Hey Ruby, shall we make this difficult for them to get a photo?"..."sure big bro" Ruby responds

Well - we got a pretty good one afterall

After the service - Oliver was on a mission to find his allotted 9 eggs!

Yeah, he's pretty cool - Easter jacket, shark sunglasses, and eggs!

If egg hunting wasn't enough, we made a trip to the Kirkland skate park for some scooting before a lunch with Grandma Joan at Purple Cafe.

Let's just say there weren't too many kids hitting the ramps in sport coats

What an amazing day for fun in the sun

Sitting on the top of the ramp, watching the other kids do some tricks

Sky High Sports

We tried to go to Sky High Sports with Oliver's friend Hayden a few weeks ago, but there were too many kids and we didn't know that reservations were necessary...well we prepared this time.

A running start...

Jumped off the trampoline wall...

Back down on to the trampoline floor...

And all the way down with big smiles!

And now into the foam pit

Kawabunga!

After an hour of jumping, running, and laughing - our little man was beat!

Easter Eggs

Easter started the weekend before with some egg dying. What a great way to kick off Easter week.

All the colors to choose from...Ruby - don't dip that foot in the blue bowl!

Of course Oliver wanted to make them all blue

Someone is sure having fun

Grandpa Bryan and Grandma Tami joined us for the egg fun

I think someone is working hard on an Oregon Duck egg

What shall we do now?

Oh yeah!

Ruby trying solid foods

With Ruby turning 6 months old - we've been trying to feed her some solid foods. She hasn't been as receptive to the new foods, textures, and tastes as her brother was when he turned 6 months old.

Before we get to food pictures - HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

Let me check this out...

Nope - I didn't like that one...

OK - I'll try it again...

Better...but I'm still not sure.

And another attempt...

Eating can be messy - so here is Oliver and Ruby taking their first bath together

All clean!
