Welcome Spring!!!

Hello again from the Ruiz fam. Yea! spring is finally here! Life is good in our neck o' the woods with the kids having fun and Emma's belly getting bigger. Baby Boy is due in the middle of September and Em is doing very well. We recently closed on our house (see below) and are very busy working on projects and getting really acquainted with Home Depot again. Just like old friends... In fact, today is our 2nd Anniversary, so we celebrated the same way we did for our first meal as a married couple... with greasy hamburgers.
Upcoming events are officially moving out of our apartment into the house (may 24), a trip back to San Diego to attend a wedding of friends and to pick up my dog (Shiloh) down there (end of May) and Papa Chuck's 70th birthday bash in Vegas (July 12th). Stay tuned!!

Lincoln is a crack-up!

Easter Time

Working on our new garden plot. Hoping for something edible to come out of these boxes!

Who was that masked man???

Taylor in our new back yard.

Casey doing some damage in the new house. Here he is tearing out a water-damaged bathroom floor in order to put in a new subfloor and eventually laminate wood flooring.

Lincoln is SOOOO big...

Yummy watermelon to celebrate our anniversary this month.

Casey and Taylor when we all went to the Hunger Banquet at BYU a while ago.

Casey's coworker Nelda teaching Taylor how to play the harp.

This is when all the international Executive Directors from our partner organizations (of Enterprise Mentors) came to Utah for a week of training. They also got to tour around a bit and meet with some BYU students. This table is at the Omniture Rock/Paper/Scissors tournament in April.

So here is our new (old) house. Built in 1909 and definitely got character. We closed on May 7th, Casey's birthday (most expensive b-day gift ever). It's got lots of projects to work on but will be a lot of fun. We love having a place of our own again and the kids enjoy playing in the back yard. Say goodbye to spare time!
