Their First Recital Together





The girls had their first recital together with Ms Claire. A few weeks before Ruby turned two, she started to take a dance class. Ava took these same classes and began the day she turned two. Although Ava takes, hip hop and ballet at the dance academy, she wanted to take tap too. I can't blame her but we didn't want to pay the academy prices for another class. So I signed them both up with Ms Claire through the city of South Pasadena. Ruby on Monday's and Ava on Thursdays. They are both loving it!! Ruby loves the dancing, running, dressing up and the shoes. Ava, she loves the dancing and tapping and her new friends. She has a "tap best friend" her name is Jayden and they got nuts when they see each other for that hour each week.
They had a western theme recital and it was very cute! I think I will post the video and the pictures up. enjoy!

Happy Cakey Day Ruby Lu


Ruby is two and loved her birthday! I think at first she couldn't figure out what was happening and then when she realized it was her day. She was screaming with excitement! For days she was telling me, "more cake mama". She would come up to me while pressing her belly button (thats what she does for comfort) and would say "present mama" or "canny pease" She hasn't stopped asking for candy but I think the other two are done, for now.
Its so fun being with Ruby. She is so funny! She has a great imagination and loves to make people laugh. Ruby has to do everything for herself. Everything......."my do it" as she gets dressed every morning.
Her favorite person, her big sister Ava. "Eeva, Sissy" Thats what we hear all the time. She also gets frustrated pretty quickly and sadly for Ava, that can come down on her. Ruby loves, animals, princesses, dresses, heals, kick boxing, SUGAR, Madagascar and music! She loves to dance and started her first ballet class, she is doing well and she likes all the pictures I take of her.
We are excited for this new year. We know we will hear even more words, she will potty train and her family of imaginary friends will grow. Right now we have bebug thats a lady bug. She lives in her diaper and flies out the window sometimes to play with kids and there is also Maggie that is a baby and she gets all of Rubys clothes she's out grown.
Ruby has a love for babies. She has about 10, they are all naked and she sleeps with all of them. They are called "my stuff" and every morning at five in the morning, Breyne and I take turns carrying each one of those naked dolls into our bed. Its a sweet life we share with Ruby Lu. Happy Birthday Beautiful!
