The Princess Turns 3!

Ruby turned 3 and I can't believe how big she is! To think that it's been 3 years since we met her for the first time blows my mind. She is such a fun delightful little girl. Sometimes she's a little too smart, but she keeps us on our toes! We are so lucky to have her.

The much awaited box... what could be inside???

For her birthday she asked for an Ariel dress. She's been wanting this for months. It was her motivation for obeying. She is such a cute little mermaid princess!

Opening presents

Happy Birthday sweet Ruby! We love you so much!

...and a few of Lucy.

 Such a good baby!

The Ball

Nick was asked to DJ a stake dance for youth conference. Knowing that Ruby loves to dance with "her prince," he told her that he would be taking her to the ball. She was so excited and talked about it all week. She wore a fancy church dress, fancy perfume and fancy lip gloss. Ruby wanted her hair in pigtails so she could twirl and make them bounce. They had the greatest time. What a fun daddy-daughter date!

Introducing Lucy!

 Lucy Josephine Warner

born on January 22, 2011 at 12:54 AM

Weight: 6 lbs

Height: 20 inches

Well, as most of you know, she is here! Lucy made her debut on my mom's 60th birthday! I should have known that was the day she would be born... I just figured that even though she was due Jan 23, she'd be fashionably late like her sister! But to my surprise, she was a day early. Labor and delivery went well. I was able to labor mostly at home, and then when I got to the hospital I was at a 5. Once they got the epidural in, things went super fast and with a couple of pushes, she was out! Course, she was just an itty bitty thing, so that definitely helped! She is so beautiful and so calm. We are so thankful she is here safe and healthy!

 Mommy and her girls!

Bath time! Which Lucy LOVES.

She definitely has some similarities of Ruby as a baby, but she is definitely her own little person. We think she is looking more like my side of the family, but we will have to see. Ruby had lighter skin and blue eyes until she was about 18 months and then she turned olive skinned and brown eyes! So who knows...
