Some Fall Pics

Here's some pics we took after raking leaves this fall. As of yet there is still no snow on the ground, almost the middle of December. But if last year is any indication, winter will be late and very long.

Emma and Lincoln

Casey and the kids: Lincoln, Mason, and Taylor

The whole gang, even our dog Shiloh

These guys are going to be trouble in no time!

He's starting to smile more, which is so cute!

Welcome Baby Mason!!

Mason Wooding Ruiz was born Thursday September 18th in American Fork, UT. 7 lbs. even, 20". Take a look!

Here's his excited older siblings, Taylor and Lincoln

The Buffalo were really presumptuous with walking through the campsites, but who's going to argue?

Uncle Johnny with Lincoln

The famous Old Faithful geyser. Not sure what the hoop-la is about. Even for a geyser, it is neither the tallest, longest lasting, nor the most predictable of the geysers in the park.

Old faithful #2, worth the hoop-la

Morning in the campground next to Yellowstone Lake

Grandpa John with Lincoln

Taylor's 4th Birthday Party

We invited a bunch of kids over from Taylor's church class and the neighborhood, as well as some family that was in town. They all had a great time. Funny about the cupcakes that mom made below: all of the kids who had them only licked off the frosting and took one bite of the cupcake, then left them!
