candy or iron...

The six year anniversary traditional gift is candy or iron... so random! Well, I eat enough candy for both of us and that Josh is just made of iron, so we got it covered :)

Happy 6 year anniversary, love! Best 6 years of my life! 

All documented thanks to Facebook...

BFFs...

I love this video... they're so precious!

Our friends from up north were making a trip to Disneyland last weekend and we were invited to join, so happily we accepted. Ruby's BFF Daphne was going to be there so it was an easy sell- Mickey AND Daphne?? We are IN! Ruby was of course THRILLED to see Goofy ("Foofy!"), Mickey, and Donald, but as soon as we got close to them it was nothing but "GET AWAY!"... typical. But she was able to go on a ton of rides and have a great time with her BFF. Here are some memories from the happiest place on earth!!

 A little wary of Goofy...

Happiest place on earth is exhausting... I hear ya, Ruby!

Mickey was so great with Ruby... peek a boo definitely broke the ice...

Jungle cruise... watch out for the elephants!

Josh and Ruby's car broke down and shut down the entire Autotopia ride! We all had to get out and walk back to the entrance after an hour of sitting in these very uncomfortable, tiny cars...

Josh and Jon on Splash Mountain!

May randomness...

May has been a busy month - between a birthday, Mother's Day, sickness, traveling, new jobs, still trying to put together a house, a Dodger game for work, and trying to find time to relax, there hasn't been much time for blogging. Here are some randoms from the phone... that poor camera of ours hasn't seen much action. At least we have phones to document something at this point!

Sometimes I wish I had my daughter's wardrobe...

First SB beach experience!

"Babiators..."

Hot mit baby!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Ruby!

This weekend was birthday weekend for Ruby! While her actual birthday was Friday, we made sure to celebrate all weekend long! The real par-TAY began on Friday night with the arrival of the Olsens. Woo woo!
We were so blessed to have them come up for the whole weekend!! Friday night was just dinner and hang out time, but Saturday was a BUSY day for everyone!
We started the day with birthday breakfast at the Boathouse at Hendry's beach. Gorgeous day and we were seated right on the water. So nice! A stroll on the beach quickly led Ruby to ask/demand "Park! Park!" so off to the park we went. Birthday girl gets what birthday girl wants!

A lunch and a nap later and we were in cupcake zone...

 We literally were outside all day aside from naptime. It was so nice!!

Saturday was also Cinco de Mayo, so Mexican food it was - followed by ice cream of course.

Sunday was capped off with Jeannine's coffee and pastries and a big hug to Kayleigh and Auntie and Uncle bye bye.

Overall, a FABULOUS 2nd birthday. Ruby would tell you herself if she could.Thanks for coming up, Auntie, Uncle, and Kayleigh! We miss you already!

Hopefully I'll get more day to day updates in now that we're getting more settled (errr... don't mind the artwork on floor in our kitchen... the rest of our house is totally put together... yeah... right...)
