Our Weekend

Well, we have been babysitting the Matheson Girls since Friday and will continue to tend until Wed. night. We have babysat them since Ally was 1 when Mindi and Brady go on trips. It has always been so much fun. Clint loves it because they have a theatre room and if you know Clint he is all about movies and big tv's he treats it as his second child. This time has been a little more rough because the girls all think they are Molly's mothers (which leads to some tears from Miss Molly). It is pretty funny, they are so sweet with her and she thinks the world of these girls. They play so cute with her and she gets so excited when they come around. She love to follow them around and thinks she is such a big girl and can do all the big girl things. It has been really fun and I have taken a couple pictures of what we have been doing. Molly turned 18 months old yesterday so when we get done tending I am going to do another post on that....Molly enjoying the girls Barbie Jeep- I forgot her pants so she just wore her onesie. She also had an otter pop and thought that was so sweet. her very own popsicle. She hands it too me when it gets down too far so I can cut it so she can continue to eat the whole thing without even dripping on herself.Pointing at the street-she is just learning she can't play in the road- it is a rough battle, but we are making progress.More Barbie Jeep fun...All the girls after the tubby(Ally, Molly, Mckinley, Brinkley)- Getting ready for Root Beer Floats and one of their shows.Molly and her very best buddy. Ally Lola B.

Swimsuits, Buckets, and Water

With temperatures in the 90's we had to take advantage and go to the splash pad.... We have been there a couple times, well we went yesterday and we met up with some friends of ours that moved out of our ward. Elisha and Rebecca just moved before Christmas and we were totally bummed. Molly and Rebecca played so cute during church when they were too noisy to be in with the lesson so we spent a lot of time in the hall. They are so much a like it is so funny, even their bodies,and when and how they do things is the same. They were so cute together and we can't wait to go again. After we were done playing in the water we walked up to 25 main to get a cupcake. Rebecca went all for her cupcake and Molly daintily picked at hers-she did eat it all but was pretty slow compared to Rebecca-it was so funny.Molly loves this bucket we got her. She thinks it is so funny when she dumps out the water.Molly and Rebecca playing follow the leader.Eating cupcakes and more fun in the water....

Today we went and met with Mindi and Ally, and Danielle, Breckyn and Ashlyn. Ally and Breckyn were so cute with Molly letting her tag along behind them and playing with the buckets together. They are such cute little "mommies" for miss Molly. She loves them and smiles all the time they come around. Ally was running up to her in the river and that's why in one picture she looks like she is about to scream, but she is laughing. It was so fun and we usually do a lot with them in the summer and can't wait for that too.While we were there we ran into Lindsay, Kash and Ella along with Brittany and Kai. It was so fun to see them there and we decided to do a play date there on Thursdays. It will be so fun since our kids are pretty close in age. It was a blast and I know there will be more pictures of Molly at the splash pad cuz we will be going there A LOT!

Check out that Bod...Playing in the fountain..Molly with her buddies- in the corner picture is Ally kissing Molly and in the center picture Kai is climbing the rocks in the white shirt.

Thanks everyone for playing with us at the Splash Pad-we can't wait to go back!

Our Great Weekend

This past weekend went by way too quickly. It was so much fun, but I wish we even just had one more day. I can't wait Clint is only in school for 26 more days and that means I only tend for 26 more days. WOO WOO!!!! We can hardly stand it. So this Friday Clint, Molly and I went bummin around town- didn't find too much, but still had fun bummin around town. Saturday was the kite Festival for kids that read so many pages in school they get a kite. Molly obviously is not in school, but we thought she would get a kick out of it. She didn't really want to go on any of the bouncy things, she was so content walking around getting balloons and sugar. She had a blast, and we all even got a little sun. I keep forgetting sunscreen and it is getting more and more necessary. It was so fun to just do something with our own little family and we played all day long- Molly only had a 40 minute nap the whole day and was still a dream child. How did I get so lucky?
This last picture is of Molly and Ally. Molly gets so excited when I tell her Ally is coming over that day. She also can't hardly wait to get down stairs to play with Ally when she wakes up from her naps. She absolutely LOVES miss Ally Lola. One day last week, Molly fell coming down the stairs and was sad, I asked her if she wanted Ally to give her a lovey- She settled right down and just wanted Ally to snuggle her. They laid like this for like 10 minutes. So sweet. I am so glad Molly has such cute little buddies.

Little Miss Molly

You know, a lot has been happening in our little world. Especially with my dad passing we had a lot of things to do, funeral, traveling, resting, playing, and getting back to normal. So I have a lot of random pictures of my sweet little thing that I wanted to post last week, but knew an Easter post would be coming so held off till now. She is so funny and more and more personality shows through every day-she is a ham and we love it.This is at my dad's viewing. She had curlers in her hair before and simply looks precious in this picture.
These are in honor of uncle KyKy he will be getting some in the mail. He gave her all this Jazz stuff so we thought we would make a day out of it and get her in the Jazz spirit for uncle KyKy

Finger painting with her Easter Finger Paints. Ky got one of these in the mail also...
Up in Ferron- at my grandma's house with her cat Blue, Molly loved chasing the kitty around.

My grandma lives on a farm so between arriving in Ferron and the viewing for my dad that night we decided to take Molly on a little stroll around she has only been to Ferron once and that was in August. She loved it outside and she could go wherever she pleased. Including the horse pen. She was looking through the fence one second and climbing under to see the horsey's the next. Notice her plumber-classic MollyInside the Horse pen, they were pretty far away so we stayed in there for a while looking and pointing at the horsey's
Daddy's Girl
My happy little farm Girl. She loved it there we need to go way more often. Thanks grandma for letting us stay at your house.
once again..Classic Molly
This is her new face she pulls when I pull the camera out- it is like this cheesy grin and it starts with her eyes squinted. I captured it toward the end so her eyes are more open. She is such a nut. She keeps me happy and on my toes. I love this little stinker!

Easter, Easter, Easter.....

<<<Warning- Long Post>>>

To start the Easter festivities we met up at Becky's house to go to the Santa Clara Easter Egg hunt, I couldn't believe how crazy some of the parents get at things like this-it just blows my mind. We let Molly and Ayla do it all by themselves with a little coaching as to "pick up the egg" and that was it. Ayla went to town and totally got the concept she is almost 3. Molly picked up 5 pieces of candy and was pretty proud of herself. She loved holding her little basket. Halli and Tes did really good too, getting the golden egg and other plastic eggs. It was pretty impressive. We knew the egg hunt isn't the greatest, and is over very quickley. So we hid 5 dozen plastic eggs in my moms back yard and let the girls go at it again.I think we might make a tradition out of it. They loved it and there was even some eggs with money- those were their favorite. It was so fun to go with Becky and the girls-both our husbands worked so we made a girls day of it. Molly has WAY too much candy- and absolutely loved playing with Halli, Tes, and Ayla.
The Easter Bunny indeed hopped by our house. Molly got some fun things- She got: A backpack, swim suite, jelly shoes, candy, hair elastics, a book,finger paints, some art paper, some little tennis balls and candy. She made a hall. I can't wait to finger paint with her. And the backpack is going to be so nice because now I don't have to take a huge diaper bag around because we really don't need it. I can put an extra pair of clothes and toys and snacks in her own back pack- we don't need diapers anymore so why take such a big bag around.Checking out her eggs and Easter loot.The Easter Bunny came to visit Molly J.Just some random pictures from the morning, in the bottom corner you will see M&M's spilled all over the floor-the Easter Bunny did that, Molly sat in the middle of them all before she went to her basket and ate them like crazy-shoving a handful in at a time.

Molly gets a new Easter Dress every year- I always did when I was little so we carry on that tradition.

My Beautiful Easter Girl. She looked so precious and beautiful in her little Easter Dress.The Cutest Girl in Nursery:) I know I am bias...

After church we pulled in at the same time as Molly's newest little best buddy Bentley. He is so cute and loves to play with Molly- Bentley is almost 2 1/2 and Molly almost 1 1/2 so they are pretty close in age and size. They play so cute together and Molly loves to look for Bentley in his window to see if he can play. She kept trying to give him kisses and he just wanted to throw rocks and giggle at her. SO SO CUTE!!! I hope the weather is nice this week so they can play outside together.
A little Easter family picture. It was windy outside so they aren't what I had hoped, but they will do- we are in serious need of some "real" family pics. I have got to get on that.We had an awesome Easter,and I am so grateful for the gospel and our Savior. Sometimes the real reason of Easter gets over shadowed by Easter Bunnies, and Candy- but we need to remember the true meaning of this special day. It was a great one for us and I think Molly had a great day- She was pretty tuckered out and is sleeping so soundly.

Easter Eggs

We decided to dye Easter Eggs yesterday after Molly woke up from her nap. I put her in a T-shirt because I knew she would be all over the place and probably dye herself a little bit. I was right! She spilled the green, dropped a couple eggs (but not a one cracked even the tiniest bit), and kept wanting to stick her finger in all the colors. We had so much fun, she was too little last year so this is her first time and it was a lot of fun. She thought it was so neat and could point to any color I asked her. She got all 5 right-orange,blue,green,red, and yellow. It was a good activity to do and it kept her entertained for quite some time. Can't wait to start doing more projects with her because she is getting bigger and understands a little bit more. We also can't wait for the Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. We don't know which one we are going to, but it will be fun.
Checking out all the colors, before we got started...Dipping an egg in the Yellow with the scooper thing...Admiring her fine work-She loves to pick the eggs up and kiss them-goofy girl...Kissing her fine work... She kisses EVERYTHING....All our eggs laid out to view are great happy work...We hope everyone has a great Easter Weekend...

On a Brighter Note....

Molly Being Molly....Molly's new favorite thing, the PIANO! We listen to very beautiful music now a days from our budding musician.


I have had a great source of comfort with my dad passing away because I have this little ball of energy to take care of and laugh and smile with every single day, it makes it hard to stay sad for too long. Who could want anything more than this funny little thing to be with every day. She found my headband and knew exactly what to do with it. She thought she looked so pretty.We tried sponge curlers in her hair, I didn't have time to take a picture of the after product, but she looked so stinking cute, after the first of the week I will do it again and take a picture of it all done. She is just too cute, I can't stand it. I love this kid.....
I think this picture speaks for itself, I think it is so funny with a little Molly Attitude at its best...
Cody and Grandpa Steve rode the 30 mile bike tour or St. George a week ago. I knew my dad could do it, but had no idea that Cody would actually finish. How bout that? Way to go Grandpa Steve and Uncle Cody!

A Guardian Angel-Grandpa Greg

My dad seeing Molly for the first time-could that face be any more proud

I am not looking forward to writing this post, but it must be done. We have a new Guardian Angel watching over us. My sweet dad passed away today in the late afternoon. He has been battling some health issues for quite some time now. 2 years ago this May his health was quite bad, they told us he would probably not last 2 more days. Well here it is almost 2 years later and he just barely past. He got better that August while I was still pregnant with Molly. He told me he wasn't going to go because he needed to see my baby girl, and my sister get married.(My sister is not married, but he has got to see her grow up to a beautiful youg woman) So he did get to see my baby girl and was one proud grandpa. 3 weeks ago we had to put him in a care center where he could be monitored and such because my grandma couldn't do it anymore. His health rapidly went down since then and we have thought he was going to go for quite a few days. I know it is his style to go out with a bang so he picked April Fools Day! It is just like him he was quite the joker, and pretty crazy at that, he was also VERY stubborn.He truely "lived" his life to the fullest he could. He always made us laugh and gave us a good story. With his health issues and previous accidents (Coal Mine Cave in, Boat wreck, and 4 really bad car wrecks) He should have died many times, but didn't. I always said he had 20 lives, but it was his time.I am so happy for him to be out of his sick body with a failing liver. If he would not have been on pain meds, he would have suffered a lot. He was on pain meds and since he was terminal they pretty much do everything they can to make you comfortable. So that's what we did, the last week I have spent every day with him. It has been a very long, draining, sad-yet happy week. My Grandma, Molly, and I have spent a lot of time watching all the old people at the care center, I guess it gave us some things to laugh about in this sad time. Needless to say, we are relieved for him, no more sick body, no more pain, no more suffering. He taught me a lot and I will surely miss him. The past like 7 months I have called him everyday to see how he was doing. The past 2 weeks I have not been able to since he has not been able to answer. It is the thing I will miss most, aside from him of course. I know he will be watching over me from heaven and watch my children grow too. I loved him so much and can't wait till I will see him again dancing in the clouds in a healthy body.
Thanks Dad, I love you, and will miss you!!

This is Molly and my dad when she was 4 months old.It is not the most recent, but my most favorite.
