Olcott park

For play group in our ward we went out to a little town on the river that has a little amusement park with rides for little kids that only cost a quarter. The kids were so excited you would think it was Disneyland! After the rides we ate ice cream and rocked in wooden rocking chairs. It was a fun morning and it only cost $10 plus the drive out there was gorgeous! I hope we can go again soon!

6 months old

I can't believe its been another month. This little girl rolls everywhere now. The other day she even rolled underneath the crib! She hasn't quite mastered sitting up yet but it will be soon. She started eating rice cereal last week and loved it! She cried when it was all gone. The other kids think its so interesting to watch her eat from a spoon and every time I feed her everybody wants a turn to give her a spoonful. She has definitely found her voice and she is constantly screaming. If the rest of the kids are loud, she chimes right in just as loud. We took her swimming the other day and she loved it! She was all kicks and smiles. Her hair just keeps getting longer and longer except for the bald spot in the back. It even fits in little piggy tails now. She has dad wrapped around her little finger and loves to give him kisses, but I have to say that I am still her favorite person around. Maura comes in a close second though cause she is so good with her and loves to help me out. We love this little girl, but we wish we could freeze her this size. The kids always joke that they want to throw her in the dryer to shrink her so she will stay little!

Timmy is getting rich!

Timmy has been losing teeth like crazy! He lost his front two teeth in the same week. I pulled one and he pulled the other. I love his smile with his missing teeth. Its so cute!

24th of July Ward Party

Our ward had a 24th celebration with a dinner and games outside. The favorite game of the kids was the 3 legged race. They all wanted to try. I laughed so hard. We had a great time.

Ranan and Topher almost made it.

Miles and Timmy getting ready.

On their way!

...and down they go!

After the games was a bike parade. It was a hit. The kids went around and around the parking lot. I think we were the last ones to leave. It was great!

Timmy's Baptism

On July 16th we had Timmy's baptism. We were so excited that we had Tim and Karen there and my dad that flew in the night before and my mom there via Skype. Timmy has impressed me so much. He is such a good boy and seems to just soak up things about the gospel. He knew all about baptism and the promises he was making to Heavenly Father and vice versa. He was definitely ready. We had a small crowd and a nice little program. Cassie played the piano, Grandma and Dallyn said prayers, his papa Rubalcava gave the talk on baptism and papa Webb gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. Timmy sang When I am Baptized which he sang beautifully and all the Rubalcava kids sang I am a Child of God.It was a sweet program and the Spirit was strong. I am so proud of my little guy and hope that he continues to be such a good kid.

Thanks to those special ladies who provided the yummy refreshments and all of the rest of you who came to share this special day with us.

Happy 8th Birthday!

Timmy turned 8 on the 13th. Papa and Grandma took him and the kids to Chuck E Cheese. The kids ran and ran, ate a little pizza, and Timmy opened presents. They had a blast. After that we came home and had cake and hit the pinata. We partied hard.

Timmy and his pinata...Optimus Prime.

We had cake for Timmy and Papa since Papa's birthday was a couple of days later.

They wrote Happy Birthday Kimmy and Papa so I had to improvise and fix it....not too bad.

End of baseball

Well baseball finally ended. Timmy's team played two play off games and lost the last one. Timmy finally got his little trophy he waited for all season. The boys gave each of their coaches a baseball signed by each one of them, pictures of the boys, and a gift card. It was a good experience for Timmy and he really like having his dad for a coach.
