Eight is Great!

Blowing out her Candle

Hey! That's not fair! One candle to blow out! What happened to eight?

Ruby turned eight years old today! Where has the time gone? Doesn't seem like eight years have passed since first laying my eyes on her!

Ruby invited 10 friends over for her party. Some how we ended up with 15 kids here! We had a great time. Ruby had wanted to have a 'water' party. She has been planning it for the last month! The weather has been great! Upper 70's for the last couple of weeks. Tomorrow the forcast calls for mid 70's and then the rest of the week should be near 80! But today the high at our house reached 61.7 degrees! Not bad, but a little cold for playing in the water. But all the kids showed up with bathing suits, so the water slide, sprinklers, and most importantly the water balloon fight was on! The kids would all get wet and then head for the concrete slab in front of our garage to lay in the sun and warm up. They had a great time! Mom and Dad are worn out, but the kids had a great time.
