On June 20th Ruby turned SEVEN years old! How did that happen? It seems like she was just like Clara, crawling around and starting to get into stuff. Ruby loves her birthday! She was extra excited to celebrate it with 
her Olpin cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents in Arkansas. They made this cake for her. It was Grandpa O's 70th birthday in the beginning of June so we celebrated it all together then they used the "7" for Ruby's cake. She liked it so much she brought it home with her. She opened some great presents from family and then we left to fly back home. We asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday when we got home and she said she just wanted to go to grandma and grandpa's to swim. So the next day.....
We went to my parents for swimming, dinner, cake and more swimming. Ruby is very special and therefore gets two cakes. This one my mom made for her. What does it look like? Did you say "the sky"? Good answer. Now, what is in "the sky"? Did you say a rainbow?Good answer! Isn't that pretty and it was delicious too, each layer was a different flavor.
Opening her present form grandma and grandpa. It is Elizabeth from American Girl! She was way excited and loves her and takes good care of her and also brings her to church and to stores. However she is not allowed at the Art Center(my rule).
Joe on his own made this present for Ruby. He wrapped it himself too. It was a coloring page that he colored then told my mom what to write on it. I would type what it said but Ruby put it somewhere safe and I can't find it right now. But it was way cute! She had a great couple of days.Happy Birthday Ruby! You are such a sweet girl and a wonderful big sister. We love you!

I loved seeing your kids in primary. Joe is so fun! And Clara is so pretty, she looks like a doll!
Happy Birthday to Ruby! I love birthday's that just get celebrated over and over! The sky cake is so cool...but it does look a little labor intensive!
Happy Belated Birthday, Ruby! I'm glad you got to celebrate twice. We'll celebrate again next week. :0)
I loved reading about Ruby's birthday. That sky cake was so cute. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your lesson on Sunday. I am a private person too so I know how much courage it must have taken for you to share your story with us. Thank you.
I'll say the same thing as everyone else...Happy Birthday Ruby! Sorry I missed the blog earlier. Busy painting & camping...As usual, your Mom did it up great for her birthday! I sure wouldn't want to take all that time making that multi-colored cake, but of course, your Mom would. I guess I'll always envy her energy.
