Finally new pictures!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to our friends and family everywhere! We wish we could be with you all for the holidays! Ryan is looking forward to a couple of great ski days for his birthday weekend and also wathing the BYU bowl game. Ruthie is practicing the fight song with him on a regular basis! Tate is a sweet boy and we can't get enough of him! Just thought we'd post a few of the pictures our friend Catherine took for us.

Baby Tate has Arrived ! ! !

November 27th at 3:27 pm John Tate Bevan arrived. He has thick brown hair and big hands and feet. He weighed .3 oz more than Ruthie, a whopping 6lbs 15.6oz (we'll call it 7lbs even) and 20 inches long. Ruthie is a very helpful big sister, she says he's a "tute (cute) baby" and his "hair's a mess" and that she'll "fix it wit mousse". She also keeps introducing herself to Baby Tate saying, "I'm Ruthie" and pointing to herself. We love our new addition! Thanks, to both Grandma helpers that have come up from AZ.

"Fairy Prince--"

Ruthie loved her Halloween costume this year! She insisted she was a "fairy prince." Apparently the last syllable of princess is just a little much for her! She did get to wear the costume for a ward party, a neighborhood party, and trick-or-treating at Ryan's work all before Halloween night! She obviously made out pretty well for a 2 year old. Mom and dad will help with that!

Bedhead

This is our princess in the morning. She gets the most amazing bedhead with her curly hair! But the extreme hair makeover is quick and beautiful!

Ruthie's 2!

I cannot believe Ruthie is already 2! Of course, the fact that we are having a baby soon makes me glad she is. We intended to go to a big aquarium on Saturday since Nemo and Ariel are her favorites. She would not nap all day, so by the time we drove to see the fishies she was sound asleep an wouldn't budge for anything! Another time. Sunday we had a small party with Ruthie's Aunt Amy and Aunt Suzanne. She loved all of her presents. Books, DVD's, a tricycle, an airplane, Ariel shoes and a princess wand. Thanks everyone!

Yeah, it's a basketball

This picture is being posted by request, not by my own wishes. I'm getting to that point where I can't believe I am actually going to get bigger for 6 more weeks! I really do love being pregnant though. It is all for a great cause!
