St Patty's Day

March 2015

My favorite quote as of late.  Ruby had it memorized after the first time I told it to her.  She loves to inform people at random times that they can't stop the waves, but they can learn to surf.  It's a good message to pass out, don't ya think?

We have been into juicing carrots lately too.  We put carrot juice in our daily smoothie, so this helps us save on lots of plastic bottles being used, we get fresher juice, and the options for juice mixes once I have more time on my hands is infinite!

We are all about independence around here.  :)

Skiing!

Swimming!

This was the first winter Ruby and Owen took ski lessons.  The Deer Valley locals program is unmatched as far as we were concerned.  Gregory was a great instructor.  Ruby and Owen learned a lot and had a blast, as you can see by Owen's affection for his coach. :)

Love this little stylish guy.

St Patty's Day started with Aunt Mindy coming into town, green eggs for breakfast, and getting ready for the parade downtown.

Ruby and Owen did their own face paint in case you couldn't tell.

So much green!  We are not getting pinched surely (as Ruby might say).

We always hook up with the Kirby's for this event.  Ruby and Graham love each other. :)  This is the second year Chip has joined us after working a night shift.  Not sure how he does it.  Amazing.

Group shot.  I really do love all these people.

Then, home to do some science with Aunt Mindy.  She got some dry ice, which gave us what seemed like hours of entertainment.  It was so much fun.  Ruby and Owen have no idea much they hit the family jackpot...in so many ways.

It was beautiful on Sunday before Mindy had to leave so we took Ruby and Owen to the park.  Ruby hoped on this little pedal bike we have...and rode it!!  Aunt Mindy was the perfect one to push her a bit and mom was happy to be the photographer and videographer.  Nice work, Ru!!  Video link to come.
