I LOVE SUMMER!!!!!

I thought as soon as the summer started we would sorta slow down and just do random things here and there. Well I was totally wrong- We went to the park 2 times this week, ran some errands at the first of the week. Yesterday we went to the splash pad with my best friend for like 2 1/2 hours. Then that night we went to the boys softball game which is always so much fun. Then today we went swimming for like 4 hours with some of our friends. It has been so much fun and I have loved being outside as long as we are able to get wet! This weekend we are headed to Park City with my family and Clint is staying home because he has 2 more days of his ESL class. He is pretty excited to have a "bachelor" weekend! So, it just continues we are having a very BUSY, yet very fun summer!

This is this past weekend. My mom got Molly a kiddie pool so she was playing in that for a while, then my dad was polishing or something like that to this car and she wanted to help. It was so cute, she did whatever he did.
This is at the softball game last night, Molly loved sitting in the chair next to Craig eating licorice and drinking Diet Coke....The picture of with the girls is Halli and Daisy with Molly. The other picture is of Maggie yelling at the ump saying "he's safe". I had to capture her in action. Sorry Mag-love ya:)
Splash Pad bliss, I love taking Molly to the splash pad- Yesterday I was planning on going and Maggie called me up and said do you wanna meet us there, I was so happy. We don't hardly get to do anything together so it was a lot of fun. Her kids just melt my heart I love them so much. The first picture is with all the kids Jake, Daisy, Molly and Max. The bottom middle picture is of Molly putting grass up her nose, we have an obsession at our house with this little stunt-I have found some strange things up her nose, little stinker.O I love these people so much. HI DAISY!!! She checks my blog all the time to see what we are up to.Such a sweet little girl.Then today's activity of swimming with our other friends. Molly thinks she is a big girl and can just jump into the pool all alone- I can't even sit down for one second because she is so busy. But that is okay, because I enjoy playing in the water with her. She loved to relax on this raft that was there, I think we need to get her one. I love her little body in her swim suits it just cracks me up.
We have some of the greatest friends who call us to do such fun things. It has been nice since Clint is in his class all this week to have someone to do things with. I love you guys thanks for always inviting us.

19 months old

Another monthly update on my little lady- I know this whole blog is pretty much about her anyways, but I have done this since day one so why stop now right? Molly is 19 months old today, i can't believe that in 5 months she will be 2 years old. That is totally surreal to us. We played with Mya this weekend and I just kept thinking how Molly was at 4 1/2 months old like Mya and how she is now. I have also been watching videos of her from when she was little, like her first laugh, learning to walk, some tricks she was doing in just January- Boy has she changed a lot- I didn't really realize it until I watched the videos.

* Molly still isn't talking hardly at all, I think yesterday would be a record breaking day where she learned two new words and how to "raise the roof" and continued to repeat them throughout the day. She has learned lots of words and will say them once and then NEVER again.
*She loves to sit on little ledges, the edge of the sidewalk, any little stool, book, or anything just her size for a seat
*She still absolutely LOVES Mickey Mouse, if she sees anything having to do with Mickey she freaks out and gets all giggly and happy about it.
*Favorite food would have to be chicken nuggets, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries(probably most favorite), juice, and otter pops which she calls "ohicle" or something like that!
* Still doing exceptionally well with the potty training, we still have accidents, but the communication still isn't there very good yet,
* Gets really excited when I get her swimsuit out- she can't wait for me to put in on her
* Has a couple new funny faces, I have yet to capture on camera- she squints her eyes and does a cheesy grin, she also does a surprised face that is pretty funny.
*She folds her arms and sits still for almost every prayer, even in church, and at nursery when we go on walks she folds her arms the whole time- sweet little girly.

That is just few things I can think of at the moment that our little lady is doing, she continues to amaze me with some of the things that she does, she is into everything, and just goes and goes and goes, but we are trying to keep up! She is a little sassy, but super sweet at the same time. She loves to give kisses and gives the best hugs ever! I love her so much and that is why this blog is all about her all the time, what else would I have to blog about anyways? She makes us so happy and has given us the best 19 months in the whole world. Thanks Molly J. for picking me for your mommy, we love you so much and can't wait to continue to watch you grow.

A little background on these pictures. On sunday before church Molly was in her room she then brought me this swimsuit, so I helped her put it on-She continued to bring me each item and put in on- swimsuit,panties, necklaces, 4 hair bows, then the baby leg-leg warmers! She was so proud of herself. I love this dress up stuff, the other day she was also in her panties after getting out of the tub and brought me her tutu-she wore it for a couple hours with her dress up shoes. It is so cute. O to be a little girl again!

Molly's ensemble....
Strutting her stuff, she was so proud of herself!

This and That...

Softball has come again- It is a little different now because a lot of the boys that played last year are on missions (ky ky), but it was still pretty fun-Janet came and so did Clints cute little Grandpa. We have a ton of little friends that come and cheer on the guys with us. The boys get to play ball, the ladies get to chat, and the kids get to run free and play with their buddies. I even had Tes watch Molly for me when they were behind the bleachers and still need to give her the 50 cents I promised. It is so fun and I am very glad that we get to participate- This is kind of a smaller league so there aren't very many games, but they are going to play again starting in August too!Clint plays Catcher!-Sorry for all the stupid spots on my little camera lens-that needs to be cleaned:)
In a circle starting with Ayla(striped shirt), Luke, Molly and Tes.Ayla was spitting water while the others watched. If you look close Molly is smiling/laughing so big.
My bleacher walker- this is at the first when we were the only ones there-we were very happy to see our friends.
We got this little slide from our neighbors that were selling it at a yard sale- It is practically new and Molly just LOVES it! She plays on it all day long--
Check out those thighs!! She just loves this thing- I think her face says it all:)
Molly's latest fetish is "umm-umm" GUM! She loves gum and can find it in every ones purse- She hunts it down I swear- She knows that Janet has some in her purse she knows where my mom keeps it on her kitchen counter and she knows I have it on the counter and in my purse- She does the cutest thing with her little tongue and lips when she says gum! She actually does chew it for quite a while which is pretty impressive. O, I just think she looks so beautiful in the picture- I love waking up to this sweet face every single day!The other day Clint and I were watching Molly try so hard to get on the computer chair- we wanted to see if she could figure out how to climb up-She was so determined and got onto the seat and proceeded to turn around on the side of the chair and this is what she was doing. She must be getting prepared to start blogging-She loves playing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the computer with me- She gets so excited when I show her pictures of Uncle Ky,and her cousins Mya and Zach. She just points, jabbers and smiles or sometimes even laughs while looking at their pictures. Her hand is even on the mouse and looks like she totally knows what she is doing.

O my Golly little Miss Molly

I was looking through pictures from this past month and stumbled across some that don't really have to do with anything, but Molly being Molly! She is the funniest little girl and keeps me on my toes every single day with some of the stuff she comes up with. There are a lot of pictures, but I just wanted to share a little every day happenings with my little miss...O how I love this kid- She makes me so dang happy I just can't stand it....Molly loves to help me spray off the chalk, it usually ends up with me spraying her and then her taking over the hose and getting drenched.In need of a drink....

This is Molly at her last blood draw for that Chicken Pox study, she did so good, she didn't even make the slightest whimper the whole time.This is what she was doing while we waited for the Dr. to come in. She did this all on her own,-check out that gut:)
This is Molly's favorite thing to do at my moms, play or eat the sand- She always eats the sand and now she has figured how to climb into the sandbox. Her latest thing everywhere is to lay down on her back and stare upward. At our house, on the sidewalk, in nursery, EVERYWHERE she does this.
We had to strip her down to get all the sand off of her so we could get into the car- She thought it was pretty cool and continued to play in her panties...She thinks she is big stuff, climbing on, in, under,and behind EVERYTHING......
She does this thumb sucking act every once in a while, but not very often thank goodness!!
The naked cowgirl... enough said!!!!We got Molly a little pool for our little fenced patio, I was just planning on feeling it up today and playing in it tomorrow, Molly had other plans. She proceeded to climb in the pool so we stripped her down so she could get wet. She had a blast and loved playing with her watering can and shovel in the water. I have a love/hate relationship with this hot weather-but I love letting Molly play in the water and enjoy being outside with her.Yes, Yes I know there are a lot of nakie bum pictures, but for one I just can't resist snapping pictures of her booty, it cracks me up and is so stinking cute. For number two: we are usually needing to strip her down to clean her off( mostly from sand), she has had an accident, or it just isn't in Molly's plans to have clothes on (When she is getting dressed or right out of the tub she thinks it is pretty funny to run away from us naked.)

Molly's new buddy...

Molly has a new buddy- Ashlyn, we went to the splash pad with our friends and I was holding Ashlyn, Molly kept pointing and smiling so I knelt down and she gave her some lovies. It was so sweet. Then today I was watching Ashlyn for Danielle for about an hour while she took Breckyn to her dress rehearsal. It was so fun, Molly loved the baby so much and had to sit on my lap and hold her a lot of the time. It was so sweet, Molly saw me patting the babies back so Molly wrapped her chubby little arms around her and patted her bum and gave her kisses. Molly has a new buddy that is actually smaller than her:)

Pictures....

We took a spur of the moment photo shoot with our little family yesterday, Molly was kinda being a stinker and wouldn't even look at the camera. We did manage to get some good ones with her looking, but it was pretty tough! My mom helped us out and she did a great job. Molly has changed so much since our last ones, I just thought it was time. I think Molly was 8 months old, that is 10 months ago-boy they grow and grow dont they!









This last one is classic Molly a finger up her nose for heaven sakes.....What a cute little girl!

Sprinklers

(click picture to make bigger)

Since the temperature decided to sky rocket to the near 100's I decided to get Molly a sprinkler, she picked this one out at the store. It is a Caterpillar that goes everywhere. She loved it and wasn't hesitant and all. She tried to drink it and loved to try and sit on the water. We played in the sprinklers with Bentley. These two are best friends to the max. Whenever one is outside and the other hears or sees them they have to escape and play outside too. It is so cute!

She was sooooo happy in the water.

Molly and Bentley do this every day. Bentley sits in the doll stroller while holding the doll and Molly pushes him, until she decides she has enough then flicks her hand and runs in a whole different direction. Molly had pulled out her hair and it was late so we didn't fix it. They play for hours every night about and come in so so dirty from the road. It is our favorite thing to do.
