Bill Knopp gave us a tour into the canyon, it was gorgeous. Ruth didn't want to share the pear with the ponies. This next picture is of Brad and Ruth in the ancient saunas that people used.

Many of these pictures were taken by my dad, you can see all of them at Lentsphotography.comSo today was day two of "the diet." Yesterday went well, except for the 6 Oreos I ate...they were just sitting on the kitchen table and just before dinner I finally gave in. Today was a funny day and I didn't end up following "the diet" but I still ate healthy food and didn't add butter or mayo or sugar to the stuff I ate (and boy is that hard when you're trying to eat a bowl of wheaties with no sugar). I am the happiest about Ruth's progress; she now eats SPINACH and BLUEBERRIES! I couldn't even get her to eat strawberries a week ago and now she's eating whole wheat bread too! This is huge progress for the little sweetie.
Also, she now sports pig tails. I was thrilled today when I thought of trying them out and it worked. I also cut a few bangs in front which look adorable.
At her 18 month appointment yesterday she weighed in at 22 pounds (25%) and and I don't know how long but it was in the 50%. Other than still not saying many "real" words she is ahead in development and very healthy. She has started to say "daddy" and "drink" and can say "ball." But other than those all her babbling and singing is still nonsense...and funny. The other day she was telling us jokes in the car; she would start to talk, pause, and then chuckle at herself and then do it over and over. She is very good at running, loves to be outside still, and likes to hold Will and burp him.
And the last bit of news is that we officially have a pet. His name is Jeff, see:
