First time in the SNOW.....

We went up to Salt Lake this weekend just me, Molly J., and Grandma Janet. We met Abbey up there and had so much fun. Between the shopping,dance competition , snow, and good company it was a blast. The roads were good both ways and Molly is an A + traveler. She was so good and slept most the way up and back. We have this backpack thing that she gets to ride in and she smiles from the second she goes in - it is so funny. It makes shopping a whole lot easier when you don't have room for a stroller. As far as the snow goes she doesnt know how well she really likes it. It was pretty cold so whenever we were out and about we put her in her hat and mittens. She hated her mittens because she couldn't eat her chubby little hands. When I would pick her up from her car seat her mittens would be soaked with slobber. What a cute little bugger.

Our Baby is 3 months OLD....

3 Months old and cant hardly believe how fast the time has gone. Our sweet little baby girl has been changing and changing every single day. She is getting so smart and is always happy . She is grabbing toys and putting them directly to her mouth. She can hold her head up like a champ and can sit up with some assistance. She loves to stand on your lap and her most favorite thing lately is her chubby fingers. She has been laughing more and more and it takes something different each time to get her to laugh. She has got the whole world wrapped around her sweet chubby little finger. She doesnt go back to the doc until march, but has gained some weight. I would guess about 13-13.5 lbs. now. A lot of that weight is in her thighs. Let me just tell you she is smooshy and delicous all over and it is so fun to kiss those sweet cheeks, even her hands and feet are starting to chub up. YES! We love the chubby ones thats for sure. With the recent passing of our beloved Prophet Gordon B. Hinkley it has made me think how grateful I am for life in general. I looked into Mollys bright eyes and could just see heaven, as weird as that sounds she is so fresh from heaven and especially when we are snuggling I can feel the sweet spirit that she brings with her, she has been here for 3 months and still has that same still heavenly spirit around her. Every time she smiles you cant help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This past week we have both had colds and it was so sad to see her sick and struggling to breath, but through it all she always had a smile to offer and made the whole sickness and acheness I had been feeling go away. I am so grateful for her and the opportunity that I have to be her mommy, and I know her daddy feels the same way. We have been so blessed to have been given such a wonderful gift and enjoy her every second of every day. We love you Molly J.

Molly was sick so we made a tent and put her and the humidifier in it to trap in the vapors.

Molly loves the tubby, we have a tubby time every night and she just loves it.

Molly's Laughing!

I know I have posted a lot lately, but I couldnt resist. Molly has been laughing for about a week now and we finally caught it on tape! Now don't tell me that doesnt make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

My New Car...

Well, we finally are a 2 car family again. It has been six months since we sold my white one and now we have finally made our first BIG purchase since we have been married. I mean we dont have a house yet and we both had cars before we got married so this was the first. It was kinda scary, but really exciting at the same time. We had Clints parents neighbor get it for us at an auction. It is a 2007 Nissan Altima. We love it so much and Molly falls asleep pretty quick once we get in because it is such a smooth ride. It is so fun to finally have a "new" car! Our favorite part is that it is a keyless car, meaning it starts with the push of a button and I feel so high tech. We just love it and are so blessed to be able to have such nice things, and so grateful at that.Me, My car, and best of all my cruisin Buddy!



This is the button to turn on the car, so much fun!

Hanging out Creating Fun!

Okay Molly and I have been tending Ally every other day. She has a doll stroller and wanted Molly to ride in it so yes, she fit just fine and actually was quite content. I thought it was so funny because she is just about as tall as the stroller. Ally was so proud and wants to do it every single day now.



Molly has also started to grab and play with toys. She has this little Dog from Baby Einstein on her car seat and it has rubber feet and hands so she loves to stick her hands through and on those and then put them in her mouth. She is getting so big we are loving it. She has started to laugh a little here and there and when I can get her going I will make a recording(especially for abbey). and post it onto this wonderful blogging world.

Clints Class and Their Winter Ball



Today Clints class along with the rest of the 4th grade and Sunset Elementary had their Winter ball(somtimes they have it in the spring). He called me up and told me I had to get ready and come down to check this jig up. So I followed what he said and got the baby ready and went down. I was shocked these kids werent scared of eachother and actually were having so much fun and were doing the cutest little dances. They all got dolled up and dressed to perfection for this yearly event. It was so cute and Clint said he can't wait until next year for the next Great Dance.

Uncle Ky

Happy 18th Birthday (Jan. 5th) uncle Ky! All Kyle wanted for his Birthday was a blog to him so here you go. Kyle is such a funny kid, he is very competive and believes he "dominates" at everything and at some things I believe him. Him and Clint are very competetive and it is really funny to watch them. He is so cute with the baby and is the greatest uncle. He calls the baby "bubby" and he gave her the raddest Christmas present. He is so fun to be around and is growing up so fast. He will be going on a mission this time next year and it will be very boring without him around to antagonize. Love ya Ky....

2 Months Old

Can you believe it has been 2 months already? I can't, my sweet baby girl is now 2 months old and boy is she a chubby little sweetheart. She is 12.3 lbs. and 23 3/4 in. long. Her doctor said she is growing like a weed and is perfect. She is following things and people with her eyes and has become more interested in her toys. She is a lot more smiley when someone starts to talk to her and if you tell her she's cute she will smile at you and she loves little kids. I have started tending Ally again and Molly just loves her as soon as little Ally starts talking to her she smiles and gets excited. She got her shots today and I was expecting it to be horrible, but she handled it like a champ. She didnt even really cry until the 3rd shot when she realized what was happening and after the last one she settled down real quick.( maybe its because her thighs are so chubby so it doesnt hurt as bad :)).

Ally and "baby Molly"


What a trooper. Blue and Purple band-aids covering the shots in those thighs.


Happy New Year from Molly J.

New Toys....

Molly made a haul for Christmas. She got a Jungle Jumparoo from her grandparent and absolutely loves it. She can sit it in for quite a while kicking her legs, jumping (we have to put a board game box under her feet so she can reach) and looking at the lights and animals especially the monkey on the front. We all just laugh because she loves it so much and she talks to the monkey every once in a while.



She also got the Roaring Lion play mat and she can lay and stare at the toys that dangle above her because she is still too little to grab at them, but when she kicks she kicks some of them around and gets a real kick out of it (literally). It plays the cutest music and she likes to talk to the lion on this particular toy. It is so cute how much she is growing and focussing on certain things.
