Christmas pictures...

Mabry and Ruby in their Christmas dresses.

Laughs & Sneezes

This is the best. Mabry started sneezing and Ruby started laughing. It went on for about 30 minutes. There were a few times I thought Ruby was going to fall over. Gotta love sisters!
Well I guess not...anyone else having problems uploading videos? I will try again later.

So this will catch me up on the blogging! Woot! Feels good to be done! Hope everyone has a good turkey day and don't forget to be thankful - We truly have so so much!

PKU Breakfast 11/15/08

This was the annual PKU breakfast. Primary Childrens Hospital does this every year for the people that have metabolic disorders like PKU and others. They have free samples of food to try and lots of other information. It was @ Discovery Museum in the Gateway. This was the first year that Mabry really understood why we were there. You could just see the wheels in her head turning when we explained to her that all the other kids and grown-ups that were there had PKU just like her. I felt like crying and laughing at the same time. She was so excited to tell our families that she went to a breakfast where they had PKU food and that everyone else had PKU jut like her. For me it was a very sureal moment...so sad and happy for Mabry & Ruby. So thankful they will have each other to lean on if this PKU stuff gets too hard. So Sad that they have to deal w/ this for the rest of their lives. So thankful this is all they are dealing w/ right now - it could be much worse - So proud that Mabry and Ruby are doing so well on their diet and that Mabry is smart enough to know what she can and can't have. So thankful to have Dr's and dieticians to teach me how to take care of them. So thankful to have 2 beautiful daughters. Well...I have blabbed enough gripes! here are some fun pictures of the museum. I think Chuckles had just as much fun as Mabry did!!

Twiins

My mom used to dress me and my little sister the same all the time. I never understood it until....well until now cuz I think it is the best to dress Mabes and Rubes the same. They just look so CuTe. Well at least I think so - Chuckles would beg to differ. Maybe it's because Ruby looks so much like Mabry when Mabry was little..it takes me back a few years. sniff sniff...they grow too fast!

HaLLoWeeN 2008

Oops...Sorry, this got a little out of order! You get the idear!!
We ended up @ G-ma Julies. This is cousin Pete. What a fun and crazy night! Boo!


Here is Halloween...Mabry was a little witch and Rubes was a princess. They were both very cute. Mabry has a mean witch cackle so beware! Chuckles had to work this night so we were flying solo...We stopped @ his grandparents house and got some fun pictures...Mabry just loves GiGi and Poppy Pete! I think Poppy Pete looks pretty good in her hat!


We also stopped by my parents to see all the cousins in their costumes. Aren't they just cute!

The Cabin

We went up to the cabin w/ my mom and dad...this was back in Sept (I know...lots of catch up). The cabin is always great fun cuz you get to be dirty all the time and moms can't care that you are!! I remember going up to the cabin when I was Mabry's age so it is so much fun to be able to take her up there. We always see moose by the pond and have loads of fun roasting dogs and mallows. Ruby even liked it as long as she had a stick to chew on. tehee BTW: Savvy tried to attack these moose...funny dog!

JuSt LoOk @ hOw cUTe tHeEse GiRls ArE...

Thanks so much to my Melis and Ro for coming and taking some pics of the girls. Aren't they so cute!!

Lake Powell

Water time for Ruby...This was the last day we were @ LP. This was the only day the water was warm enough for Rubes to actually get all the way in. She was having fun w/ daddy and sister. Mabes can always get Rubes laughing. It is the BEST!!

HAPPY SUMO!! :)

Mabry's hair cut
