Well.....

We are going to have a new one of these:
Molly is going to be a Big Sister- We are so excited and it couldn't be a better time. We are just thrilled. Molly is so excited and already kisses my belly daily even though there really hasn't been that much of a difference, I am at the chubby pregnant stage, but she still loves it. We are 11 weeks and our newest little peanut should arrive February 17,2010. This pregnancy is already flying by compared to Molly's. Especially with how busy our fall/winters are with all the Holidays I am hoping that makes it go by quicker. We told our families by Molly wearing the following shirt and not saying a word. We just waited to see how long it took them to figure it out. Needless to say we had some pretty funny moments. Clints dad had to be the best because he kept saying "BIG SISTA" (seriously like 5 times even after we told him to really read her shirt) without connecting it at all until we finally explained it to him.

21 Months Old

This little lady is 21 Months old or was so on Sunday. She is so full of it all of the time, the last couple of weeks have been rough with her the whole foot episode, teething that comes and goes because those blasted teeth come up and down a million times, and just trying to be very independent. After all that though she is a dream child really, she is the best shopping buddy and we can take her pretty much everywhere with us without it being a big deal- She still is not talking that much at all and I am waiting for the day when everyone tells me "she will just shoot out a ton of things and you will be shocked" Well I am still waiting for that day sometimes I get a little worried about it, but I know she will do it in her own time. She loves to be naked as you may have noticed- She will have her panties on and they will be off within 10 minutes just because. She loves to do things herself, and most of the time we let her, but if we don't she has a little squawking melt down. This squawk sound she makes is just so funny Clint and I just laugh at her. She is so fun to play with and makes me laugh a million times a day I can't believe in 3 short months she will be 2. I love you Molly J. Thanks for making us smile~

Just some recent Molly cuteness, I loved her in the little outfit and she was being so happy.

It wouldn't be complete with out some nakie bum pictures-- Classic Molly

Lastly we made a day trip to Vegas to drop my brother off at the airport. We made a shopping day of it before we dropped him off, I must admit I have had better shopping trips to Vegas-There was not much of anything- We did get Molly some really cute shoes and jamies and Clint got a couple things for his Birthday coming up. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory which is never a disappointment and just had a great time as a family.Molly loved throwing "moneys" into the water. She was so happy the entire trip even in the car! We seriously can take this kid anywhere!

O My Little Molly...

Molly has had quite the last couple of weeks. She has not been herself really at all. Within the weeks there is a day that sneaks in and our Molly comes out, but she is getting her 2 year old Molars and they come down and then back up- not fun so she is kinda grumpy, not All of the time, but a lot of the time. Its hard to know what to do with her because it is SO not Molly. It has gotten a lot better this week and my sweet little girl is back-
Well Thursday night I was getting ready to go to "Footloose" with my mom and I heard the saddest cry of my life coming from Molly's room. I ran in there and she was on her hands and knees. She had slipped on one of her books (that I had just picked up off the floor for the 300th time) So I picked her up and calmed her down, when I tried to put her down she could not stand on her Right leg, and would say "owie" or just whimper and cry. She was like this all night and wouldn't walk or stand on it at all. She went to bed and I thought if she was still like this in the morning the Dr. would be a need. Well we went half the day and she was walking on it, but limping pretty bad at some points and you could just tell it was bothering her, so we did take her to Insta-Care to get it checked out. She was so braved with everything the Dr. proding at her poor leg and foot, waiting for the 2 hours to get into a room, and then the X-Ray. It is not broken-thank goodness, she either rolled it or sprained it and will just work itself out. It has been a long last two days, but she is on the up and up- She was being so brave I just can't even believe how grown up she is.

Clint had to go to Pasta before we got in the room, so my mom met us in there since I would not have a car-She brought Molly this cute little poodle to keep her occupied-it workd along with some Diet Coke, Licorice, Gold Fish Crackers, Stickers, and a Minnie Coloring Book- It was a LONG wait!Having the poodle go "night night"

This is Molly right after she got her X-rays, I had to get a picture- she layed so still the lady was impressed that she didn't have to re-take the pictures for how little she is.

More on the X-ray table- she had to wear the apron thing right above her knees and kept it there till this picture:)

Ecuador

I have really been missing these sweet little children. It has almost been 4 years since I got home from my 3 month stay in Ecuador working with all these sweet sweet children. They hold a special piece of my heart and it makes me love my sweet Molly that much more. These children changed my life and I will never forget what a special gift they gave to me. Camille I am so glad you came with me, it really wouldn't have been the same without you. This song was written and sung by another girl who went with us her name is Rachel Craig and I just love this song and Rachel. O how I hope these sweet children are growing and doing well, and one day, just maybe I can go back and bring one home with me.

More Swimming...

I know I just posted a tiny bit ago(yesterday), but we had such a fun day today with all of our friends I couldn't help but share. We went swimming with Tadd, Kara, Maggie, Emily, Becky, and all of their kids. It was so much fun, Molly loves to see all the girls and can even say some of their names, which believe me is an accomplishment for how much this kid does not like to talk. We got a lot of sun and were swimming for just about 4 hours- Molly was beat by the time we got home, but I think she had a great time. As did I since I never get to see these guys very often it is so fun to catch up and see all the kids. Tadd and Kara got Pizza for everyone along with letting us swim in their pool-thanks guys. It was so much fun and hope we can do it again sometime soon.
These pictures are of a little Pizza break for the kids they were all getting tired and hungry so we brought out the extra Pizza and they were ready to rock all over again( O how I wish I had their energy)-Sadie was absent from this part of the party cuz she went in to take a nap, you can see pictures of her and Molly's swimming day in the previous post-

Eating Pizza and laughing her head off at Ayla and Carter

Uncle Ky calls her "chug" I wonder why- I love this smooshy and delicious little girl

The big girls were posing so Molly had to join in the fun- Halli, Daisy, and Tes

Ayla- This little thing is such a ham- I just love hearing her stories and seeing her cute faceTotally Cheesin it up for the camera-sweet little Ayla K.- O I love this girl

Eatin PIZZA- Molly, Ayla, Luke, Carter, Daisy, Halli, and Tes

Once again Molly finding a nice random place to lay down- look at her goofy little face-

We are so lucky to have such great friends and fun things to do with them, it has been so hot lately and swimming is about the only thing that sounds fun to do. If we tell Molly we are going swimming that day she goes in her room gets her suit, goes in our room and gets our suits and brings them wherever we are- She is a little fishy!

Molly + Sadie

We had such a fun time going swimming with Tadd, Kara, and Sadie- When Molly and Sadie were littler we tended Sadie a couple times, it has been quite a while since they have seen each other. Sadie is 3 months older than Molly, but Molly is heavier and taller and that's how its been since they were itty bitty! They warmed up to the idea of playmates and loved playing chase around this little canopy pole. They were so dang cute together and we can't wait to have more play dates with these guys. Thanks Tadd and Kara for letting us come swim and have the girlies play, we had a blast!

Molly loves to just randomly lay down in the strangest places-

Sadie Poo

Here is a video of the two of them playing chase- I am sure there is great commentary in the back ground :)

Swimming Lessons

Molly just completed swimming lessons for the summer- Last year we did 2 sessions and she loved it even though she was about 8 months old. I knew she would have a blast because she loves to go swimming with our buddies. She really has no fear of the water which is a really good thing, and a really bad thing at the same time. We just did the parent/tot class and so they really just get kids used to being in the water. She learned how to walk along the wall with her hands, jump off of the side, blow bubbles, and kick. She was NOT a fan of jumping off the wall, I had to bribe her with popsicles and gum- then she would do just fine and smile as she jumped in. She loved to face all the other kids during everything and loved being thrown in the air. The last day they let you take pictures and turn on the slides and toys. Molly LOVES the big slide, she laughs the entire time down. It was a lot of fun and I am glad she is not scared of the water and enjoyed her lesson-She was pretty proud to show me her certificate:)

Just doing our thing...Down the big slide- I love this picture it looks like she is flying out the slide:)Taking it all in...Down the Froggy Slide- She loved this thing so much at the end of each class they can play on this and she did it everyday for the whole time they were allowed to play...

Our Weekend

Mya, Molly, and Zach
We had such a great 4Th of July weekend. We had a family get together with Grandma Janet's family and it was fun to see everyone and chit chat- Also both Clint's sisters/husbands were here and we have not all been together since last July- minus Ky Bob of course who is tearin it up on the mission. We were all together and it was the first time Clint and I have seen our little nephew Zach which has been a lot of fun. Molly loves the two babies Mya and Zach so much we ask if she wants to see them and she goes crazy with excitement. It was a lot of fun and we still get t0 play with them for a few more days. It is the first time Grandma Janet has had all her grand babies in one place- needless to say she was simply over joyed. We hung out a lot at the Broadheads with all the family down and wouldn't have had it any other way. We did miss the fireworks because on the way to pick up my little brother little Miss Molly fell fast asleep and she was wiped out so we opted out of the firework show- hopefully she will be awake for the 24Th we will see. We also spent the weekend with my little brother because my parents went on a little trip we missed them, but had fun staying at their house and Molly loved taking a bubble bath in Grandma Kara's big tub. She also loved chasing the dogs all around the house and eating Oreos. This kid ate so many Oreos over the weekend between both houses. O well I guess that's why her gut hasn't slimmed down any. It was a great weekend and we are so happy we got to spend it with so much family.
Each Baby doing their own thing- They are so dang cute!
Its not easy to get three little ones to look at the camera at the same time-Kissing Cousins- Molly and Mya

Bed Time Laughs

So I was changing Molly's sheets in her crib and she had so much fun on her mattress that we decided to let her try and sleep on it out of the crib- Well the pictures will speak for themselves, but Clint and I just could not stop laughing @ how she would end up-She woke up at 5:30 in the morning came into our room tapped my arm and said "MAM" as loud as she could for like 2 minutes ( I put her in my bed and she went back to sleep thankfully) Needless to say we let her do it one night and then attempted the second night, but before I went to bed I decided she needed to sleep better so the mattress went back into the crib and she slept like a charm.

This is how she started out....Little Sleeping Beauty!
After about 2 hours.... I put her back like picture #1
About 20 minutes after the above picture...

This was how she started the second night....And like 1 hour later.... then into the crib she went

I guess Molly is still a little too wiggly to sleep on a real bed :)

This is just a video of her playing on the mattress it is kinda long, but she was being so goofy I had to keep it rollin...
