A year has passed!

It's been so long, a year since I've posted! Ruth is now 20 months and J.R. is 6 years old! So many things have happened. We now live in Phoenix and Tony is going to Midwestern Medical School. Tony just finished his first year and J.R. completed Kindergarten this year! Here are some recent pictures.

J.R. and Ruth arguing. I'm sure there will be many more fights to come!

Uncle Scott and J.R. making pancakes together at Grandpa's house.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Ruth loves her daddy.

Ruth drinking out of a straw for the first time.

Priceless!

Ugh, it's summer time which means heat! This was our first of many trips this summer to Wet and Wild.

Ruth at the Ice Den in Chandler AZ. She was patiently waiting on J.R. to finish playing hockey.

J.R. at swim lessons.

J.R.'s new haircut! He loves it! We now use gel!

This was when Ruth decided she didn't want to sit in her highchair anymore. This is J.R.'s little table that he used.

J.R.'s dentist appointment, no cavities!

This is my childhood home, Chariton has 40 mile per hour winds and a huge old tree in our yard gave way. It's sooo sad, I remember mowing around this tree many summers.

Ruth at Ralph and Mary Lou's.

J.R. with his best buddy Elizar!

We spent the 4th of July in Vegas with friends.

J.R. and friends at the Boulder City 4th of July parade.

Ruth's teacher put her first pig tails in her hair. I think she needs a little more hair before we try this at home!
