2 1/2 Years Old....

This little cupcake was 2 1/2 years old on April 26th, she is now closer to 3 than she is 2 and I can hardly stand it....I look back at pictures of her from just 2 months ago and she has already changed so much she looks like a little girl and not a baby in any form.

I have been thinking a lot about what to write for this and so many things come to mind.
First a list of the latest Molly: 

She can sing her ABC song

She knows how to count to 10

She can identify every letter some in both upper and lowercase

She knows the letters in her name

She knows all her shapes and colors

She Loves her baby sister so much

She is almost fully potty trained, we still have our days!!!1!

She is getting 3 of her 4-2 yr old Molars right now-painful I am sure

She thinks dirt is a classified food group

She LOVES fruit/vegetables of any sort really

She likes to pick out her and Maggie's Jamies every night

She loves to "paint" which means color, or draw with a pen or actually paint

She loves her "guys" (Mickey and Friends/Princesses) just little figures she interacts with

Still takes pretty good naps most of the time

Her favorite store is Target cuz she gets Popcorn and Pop

She also loves going to Costco

She loves going to both her grandma's houses

She gets her heart broken when told No or when she gets in trouble

She is still a Mommys girl and always up for a good snuggle!

My Sweet Little Molly:

You truly are my sunshine, I love seeing your cute little face first thing in the morning. You make our family so full and happy, there isn't a day that goes by that you don't make both your dad and I laugh. You are very smart, sometimes too smart for your own good. You have this light about you that makes the whole world smile, when we are shopping or something everyone just smiles at you and you smile right back. I love it at night when you want to snuggle and ask me to sing "I am a child of Gone" (I am a child of God) for you before you go to sleep followed by asking me to sing "Sunshine"( You are my Sunshine) then you sweetly fall asleep without a fight. You are so very into your friends right now and it makes me so happy to see you interact and play with other kids.You have such a tender little heart,  if someone is hurt or sad you are always there to give a hug and say "You Happy Now" after. When other kids are mean to you it breaks your little heart and you always come to me for comfort and I cherish these moments so much. One day you wont wanna be with me or want me to give you a kiss, but today you do and I truly am taking it all in and sketching it in my memory. You are only little once and I know it goes by far to quickly to let anything go unnoticed, thank you for being my baby girl I love you so much.

Happy 2 1/2 Birthday Baby Girl-Next stop 3 years old!

Love Mommy

Just for fun, this is Molly last year at 18 months....

A littlle this.. A little that....

We have had a pretty low key week, but still managed to have some fun. We are in the middle of packing and getting ready to move to our very first house this coming weekend so things have been busy on the home front-(I will post pics of the house once we are settled in) With that being said here are some pictures from the past week....

We took a little trip to the Splash Pad..... I tended Ally that day so we met up with friends and played in the water-good thing we went early in the week cuz the rest of the week was yucky!

 

O I just love this smooshy little girly

 We spent quite a bit of time at home being goofy and I must be honest it was quite enjoyable....

 I think Maggie may become a boxer.... either that or she is practicing defending herself against her sister:)

 She also loves the tubby and Molly equally loves to take a tub with her "seester"

 Miss Maggie, Molly, and Ally Lola- 

Ally is such a little mother, she is so quick to help whenever asked especially if it has something to do with the baby or helping Molly do/get something. She loves my girls so much and they equally love her. My little Molly asks me everyday if Ally is coming and if I ask her if she wants to go to the park or something like that  she asks me if Ally is going to be there.(molly is eating an orange, this is the best pic I could get of her...)

Somebody in our house absolutely loves "blat berries" she could eat these all day everyday....I don't know why she looks so serious here, but she loves her some black berries.

 O the Park- Molly loves the park and we got done eating dinner early so we decided to take a walk to the park. Molly kinda has a fear of the bigger slides so I told her I would go on them with her. She thought that was pretty cool and I think we eased her fear a bit (one day at the park she somehow flipped on the slide and came out head first and on her back-totally freaked her out). She is obsessed with the swings and will go as high as the swing will allow!

 She was getting a bit tired on the walk so Clint gave her a shoulder ride, gosh she is cute---

 Molly and I have this little game where Molly gives me kisses and we make faces at each other and hold it for a while till we both laugh, that is what is happening in this picture. Unfortunately Clint only captured my face-ha!

 It has been such a great weekend and I couldn't have spent it with anyone that I love more-my sweet little family. I am so grateful we have times like these together....

What a Week....

Molly, Maggie, and I have had a busy week, not so much things we had to do, just things we wanted to do I guess. We went to the park 2 times, to lunch with "Grandma no" (grandma snow), dance class,the splash pad, the kite festival and just played at the house a lot too. Molly has been so good lately and is ever so funny- I always catch myself trying not to laugh at some of the things she says because she is so darn serious about them. Yesterday on the way home from the kite festival we had the following conversation:

Molly: "Mommy, I wanna nap"
           "What do you mean you wanna nap, are you tired?"
Molly: "Yeah, I so tired, I wanna nap"

She is not a fan of her nap, but desperately needs them and is much happier after she wakes up, this conversation shocked both Clint and I. It was fun having such beautiful warm weather to play in all week. We are trying to get out as much as possible because when it is 100 degrees outside it wont quite be as fun-unless we are swimming of course!

 

A quick little lunch date with Great-Grandma Snow after dance class.... Grandam Snow hasnt seen Maggie since she was just a few days old so she was happy to hold her as much as Mag would allow it!(did I mention she is a total mommy's girl)

 

The bouncy seat is one of the only places Maggie will let me put her without her pitching a fit- and that is only if she can see me while in the bouncy seat!

 

When we went to the splash pad it was over cast and I didn't think Molly would like it since it was a bit cold, after about 20 minutes the sun was shining and it was very hard for me to get  her to leave! I am guessing we will be back many times-Molly asks if we can go every day!

The last thing we did this week was go to the kite festival- we picked a bad time to go (lunch time) because it was a little too crowded, but we still managed to have a good time.  Molly wasn't so sure about the bounce houses for some reason she usually LOVES them, but was a bit shy in the jumping department. We got her a snow cone and she thought that was pretty neat too-she loves to eat ice so this made it all the better. Maggie loved being out and just watching everything around her.

Last, but not least here is a bunch of random pictures of Miss Maggie- with her bow over her eyes, I remember Molly doing this all the time and the pictures make me laugh every time I see them. So I have been taking pics of Mag when she does it.

Bug Eyes

 

First set of Shots- of course she HATED them

 

Molly's favorite thing to do is have me put Maggie in her doll stroller, Maggie doesn't seem to mind .

A rare moment, actually sleeping with daddy!

O she is just a cute little thing, I can't believe she is really 2 months old already, but surprisingly it didn't seem to go as quick as Molly, and I love it- I am truly enjoying every second of having her here- even if she is a little more high maintenance. She eats good, sleeps good, and sure does love her mommy and I wouldn't have it any other way!

This is another comparison of my two girls- Molly was way chubbier, in fact I looked back at her stats and she was almost 2 lbs heavier and 1 inch longer- They still look a like a little but definitely have their own little look.

Maggie's Blessing Day!!

 

Maggie got blessed today on this beautiful Sunday morning. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and we had lots of people come that we just love to pieces, We were missing some of our family, but those that could come were so fun to be with and see. Most everyone Molly knows was at the church and she was in her glory walking back and forth between them all. I was nervous Maggie would scream during the blessing, but Clint said she was bright eyed and chill the whole time. Clint did such a great job-he is such a good daddy and loves both his girls so much. After we went to the Broadhead's for brunch and just to be with family and friends.

I changed Mag out of her dress because she was so slippery when wearing it- Everyone loved giving her snuggles and passing her around.

Molly looks so grown up in these pictures, one of my favorite parts about the day aside from seeing everyone we love was watching Molly play with her best friends- She loves all these kids and doesnt get to see them much so I was so happy she could just run and play with them. The weather couldnt have been more perfect for such a special day. I love you Maggie K.
