New look

Post baby I am always wanting to change up my looks a little. Usually it means chopping my hair shorter, as well as hitting the gym hard and melting off baby weight. I enjoyed a homemade avocado scrub from YW (notice the hot pink lipstick), and my mom got a fresh haircut for her trip back to Argentina.  She inspired me to also get a haircut, even get bangs! I hope i can maintain them since they will need to be trimmed often. It feels so nice to have less hair on my neck during the triple digit heat! I have 10 more lbs to lose, but that will come with more time and trying to be gluten and dairy free.  I also love how handsome my boys look on Sundays. 

Mr Levi, age rambunctious

Mr Levi (almost 3) is so busy, stubborn, independent, charming, vocal and persistent! You can definitely tell he is the youngest of 4 brothers. He knows what he wants and will scream, talk, kick or beg until he gets it (like climbing the game cabinet, or the pantry, or bringing up food with a baggie, or holding hands during prayer, or being spoon fed every meal, etc). He has a delightful smile and bright eyes, such a happy boy when mom isn't around.  He loves his sister Ruby, loves to be on mom when she nurses, and constantly wants to hold her. He is a loyal companion and loves to follow his brothers around the house, often trying to keep up with them on a scooter or building a fort!

Boy stuff

Boys love dressing up like cowboys! They have done so since they were little kids. Also were able to go with Dad for a City of Surprise Pride Service day. They worked really hard and came home happy and dirty (with new shirts). Jared also took them to Father and Son's campout, but just stayed late in order to come back for a baseball tournament Wesley competed in. Wes took 1st place in the running/sprint here in Surprise and went to Phoenix for another round (but lost).  They also had a fun daddy-dessert night at Marley Park. Wes had a banana and whipped cream (no sugar fast), while the other brothers enjoyed a sugar comatose! 

Ruby 4 months

Ms Ruby Joy. So glad she is in our life! She is gentle and sweet and so alert. Can't imagine her not being in our life. Things that make me think of her; blow outs when she is wearing white,  sucks her fingers to go to sleep, has a lot of teething slobber and pain, can't compete with her loud and crazy brothers when it comes to crying (she just watches them and is so entertained by their talking and screaming and playing that she keeps to herself), loves her playdates with Abu in the morning when I am at the gym, loves her nap in the swing, smiles and coos,  and gets LOTS of attention from everyone in public when she shows up with 4 older brothers. We love her so much! "I hold Ruby?"
