SALT LAKE BEE'S GAME W/ SMILE DENTAL STUDIO

Every month my work does a "Social Event" for that month. That's what Dr. Cho calls them. They have done several before but we weren't able to make them since most have been too late for Ruby. This time we were able to go! We all went to a Bee's Game in Salt Lake at Smith's Ballpark. This was my first time going to one.

We got to sit in a private box. There were snacks and drinks inside. It was so fun!

Here's some of my co-workers, Wyman Chen and Sadie Smoot. They are both assistants, Wyman wants to go to Dental School at the University of Utah.

The whole work crew! On the LL there is DeAndre' Reynolds (hygienist), her husband Stephen, and their son Ruxton. Above them are Kenia Espinosa (front desk/assistant), her partner Melissa, and their son Dyllan. To the right of them are Dr. Cho, Wyman Chen, Sadie Smoot, her best friend Dani, and her little brother Hunter. Next to Nate and I is Jamie Yoo (assistant).

We walked downstairs to go catch the kiddie train that runs from one side of the park to the other. On our way we ran into the Bee's Mascot, Buzz. I wanted to get a picture with him but Ruby was so scared. She started crying the instant I got close to him!

We missed the last ride of the night so the conductor let us ride back to the station with her.

JAKE, KORY, & ADDALYN HERE!

It was the weekend of the annual Cinco De Mayo party at Tina's. Scott, Peggy, Jake, Kory, and Addalyn were able to come down and join us! Jake, Kory, and Addalyn stayed with us which was such a treat since we don't get to see them that often.

Eating some grub at Longhorn Steakhouse.

The girls had so much fun playing together.

One day we went to the park by the West Jordan Library and kicked and threw around balls and played at the playground.

3RD ANNUAL CINCO DE MAYO PARTY AT TINA'S

After the party we went in the front and did some chalk and bubbles with the girls.

I wanted to get a record of all of Ruby's nicknames. I wrote them out in chalk and got a picture of her with them.

Back at our place, time for bed!

Sunday Addalyn and Ruby got up and played all morning together. Jake, Kory, and Addalyn had to leave that day but they made the most of it.

MORE RANDOM PHOTOS FROM THIS WEEK...

My friend Alyssa Reiche from Washington started school at UCDH (the dental hygiene school I went to) and sent me a picture of her on her first day! Go Alyssa!

I have been working very hard on my grannie square blanket. I think it's coming along nicely.

Ruby loves to try on everyone's shoes.

There's an app called Snapchat that will swap your face with other people. Here's some funny ones we got.

RUBY'S 18 MONTH APPOINTMENT

Ruby had her 18 month appointment and had to get a few shots. I always feel terrible taking her in when she needs shots. She is getting old enough now that she knows what's coming when they lay her on the table to get them. I think it's worse now for me that she knows, whereas before it was a surprise and was over before she even knew what was happening. Poor baby!

GIRL'S DATE!

Saturday, Karly, Ariel and I had some girl time. We went to the movies to see The Jungle Book then grabbed some sushi, chatted and laughed our booties off. Of course we had to get dessert so we went to Rita's and got custard with italian ice. It's always a fun time with these girls!

Ariel had to get home so Karly ran up to Salt Lake to go to a pop-up shop put on by my favorite beauty blogger of all time, Maskcara! It was at a little boutique called Bohem. She just came out with some new products and I have been dying to try them out so this was the perfect opportunity.

I even got to meet her and get a picture with her and one of her designers, Jamie Joyet, who I also follow on Instagram. Dream come true!

Later we went to Karly's new place and helped her hang a bunch of stuff on her walls in her bedroom. It turned out really cute!

MOTHER'S DAY

It was Mother's Day this Sunday. They passed out king sized candy bars to all the women! I love when they do that instead of a flower or something. I love being a Mother! It's the best thing for me in my life right now and I'm learning so much.

Ruby loves nursery but won't go unless Nate or I are in there with her for the whole time. I would be totally fine with that except Nate and I both teach the 12-18 year old Sunday School Class so we aren't able to be in there with her. She ends up just coming to class with us and entertaining the kids we teach.

LOTS OF RANDOM PHOTOS FROM THIS WEEK...

Lots of randomness this week...

Peggy has been getting these freeze dried foods from a company called Thrive. I tried a bunch and they are really good! Ruby loves them as snacks so I ordered a bunch. Ruby loves the peas as you can see.

Ruby is always so helpful when I'm trying to clean, she likes to help out where she can.

Playing at our favorite park by the West Jordan Library. Ruby could swing all day, I'm not joking.

Ruby woke up Thursday with her left eye almost swollen shut! It didn't seem to bother her so we left it alone and it went away thankfully! But how cute is she with a swollen little eye.

I'm not sure what was going on here, apparently some loud noise. What a sweetie.

Always up to swing at the park. This is at the playground right in front of our townhouse. She's getting so big now and can swing without me being terrified she will fall.
