Recently...

Aaron recently rekindled his love of bike riding. He learned to ride a 2-wheeler last spring, but has since preferred his scooter. But Bob took the kids over to the middle school parking lot a few weeks ago and took their bikes. Aaron has been riding every day since.
Danny and Rachel put their helmets to good use in this tree the found to climb. We don't have access to many climb-able trees, so they thought this one was fantastic!

Playing together on a Sunday morning:
The boys were wrestling one night and Danny and Aaron decided it was hot and they needed to take their shirts off. Soon Bob and Seth wanted to join the club. I love this picture of all our men.

Visalia and Granparents

At the end of February Gma Monte and Grandaddy Gene were visiting Visalia, so we all went to see them. It rained the whole weekend, but we had a great time. Casey and Kami were the only ones who couldn't make it--they were expecting Boston to come anytime. We went shopping, visited a children's museum, did some P90X and, of course, ate a lot. It was so fun to spend time with everyone.

Uby!

Ruby's most common nickname is Uby. Seth can't say R's yet, so we've all adopted his version of her name. She is also Ruby-do, Ruby-duby, Ruby Doll. She's four months now. It's going so fast. She's not a tiny newborn any more. She has huge blue eyes. I get comments on them everywhere I go. And we can't tell yet what color her hair will be. It looks like it might have a little red in it, but probably not as much as Aaron's.

Valentine's Day

Rachel and Bob went to the annual Daddy-Daughter dance this year. As always, they had a great time.

We heart-attack our kitchen every year. Every one writes things they love about everyone else. It's fun to hear what the kids come up with.
