From youngest to oldest:

Ruby is really walking! We spent 3 hours in Urgent Care. She threw up 7 times this week, has a raging ear infection and a high temp on and offf since Tuesday. I held her for about 20 hours this week, she was so sad and lethargic. She's also talking more...uh oh, thank you, & hello! Ruby also loves to pat D's back when he is crying or sad...so sensitive she is. I also found her sitting in the dark in my little bathroom with the door closed...you guessed it, poopy diaper and all. I refuse to even think potty training right now, so stop showing me these little signs, Ruby-roo.!

Dylan watched an unhealthy amount of tv. He also has been a big helper with his sis & loves to snuggle lately. He wants to say all our family prayers and is super cute when he repeats scriptures. He loved having preschool at our house this week. He also is convinced he's faster than Elle, a girl in Kaleb's kindergarten class, who just so happens to look exactly like Elle on Legally Blonde.

K had a great bball game, is learning a lot & having fun. He made it to purple twice this week...the ultimate reward for good behavior in kindi, a trip to the treasure box and a sticker! He also started answering and obeying the first time, such a pleasant change. Kaleb taught his first FHE lesson by reading our picture book, I am a Child of God, and bearing his sweet testimony.

Ben asked me to be his girl & kissed me FOR THE FIRST TIME eleven years ago over President's Day weekend, a CRAZY road trip neither one of us will ever forget! He was also the STAR STUDENT at his appt. this week, and is a third of the way to his goal. Not bad for 2 months! Ben worked really hard this week, putting fires out at work, and burning both ends of the candle for a few days/nights in a row. So proud of my hottie boyfriend!

I hit my pre-baby-baby-baby weight FOR THE FIRST TIME (I'm loving this country song right now, btw) in 6 years. Sadly, things are just NOT the same, so just keep swimmin' I must! A little definition was uncovered in the area others know as abs...I normally call them my muffin top/koala pouch. Hoping to be done with these two gal pals of mine before we make it to Hawaii. I also devoured Peace Like a River, ordered 6 books from Thriftbooks, and rededicated myself to rereading Tom Sawyer.

A desert tortoise was spotted in the foothills of South Mountain. This is how we spent our Monday off for Presidents' Day together. I wonder what it was called back then? Regardless, it's been a monumental week around here!

Just want to say you ROCK! Love ya and I am so happy you got to your pre-pregnancy weight! Hopefully one day I will make it there but I have come to accept it for now.
Wow, I had no idea Ruby was so sick. Poor baby girl! I hope you guys are feeling better over there.
I've read Peace Like a River too, great book! I just read Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah and it is probably my new favorite book. SO GOOD! You have to read it.
I didn't know Ruby was sick either! Poor baby. You should have called. I could have brought you dinner in a jar :)
You guys are inspirational!
When is the Hawaii trip?
I'm on a gestational diabetes diet even tho they're not sure if I do indeed have it. Testing blood sugar too. .. it's been a good thing for me cuz I haven't gained anything YET.
