Some things that I love....

These big beautiful, innocent eyes...

 Poodle Hair...

I put the baby sponge curlers in Molly's hair and clearly it is too long for the teeny ones she looked like a poodle and told me "Mommy, please fix my hair its goofy" I couldn't have agreed more it made for a great laugh.

 Sleeping babies that love to snuggle each other...

 2 awesome eaters that eat pretty much whatever and make meal times entertaining...

 The way Molly makes Maggie so happy without even doing anything...

 A fun day with Mr. Potato head parts....

 This one might be my very favorite of that day...

 2 sweet little girls that have different sweet little personalities and love to play with each other...

 Such awesome fashion sense...

 The most creative way to watch your favorite movie....

Couch Destroyer.....

My little miss Molly has this obsession with taking the couch cushions off about 10 times a day it is an obsession I am trying to break her of, but man is it exhausting! Some times I just have to give in and have a cushion party. I will come out from putting Mag down for a nap and say, 

"Molly, why are the cushions off, you need to put it back" 

to which she responds,

"Mom, I need it off its my rest its just one mommy...(pause) that okay it a great idea mommy" 

Maggie gets so excited when the cushions are off because then she can climb onto the couch all by herself and she is quick. Now that it is getting warmer I am hoping the fetish will fade with the much anticipated and needed trips outside to play.

 I was feeling the urge to do something crafty and Valentinesy and came up with these beauties.... I got all the stuff and had a total different idea in my head making hearts out of thumbprints and as I got the supplies out my idea changed to these! 

 Items needed: 

5x7 plain white canvas-I got mine at Roberts

Paint colors of your choice-since its for Valentines I did Red, Pink and White

Glitter color of your choice-I picked white since thats what I wanted glittered

Cute little tootsies to paint and place in heart shape on canvas

How to:

Paint the canvas one solid color and let dry completely

Paint the bottoms of your littles feet (I did one at a time) place on canvas on a diagonal once removed sprinkler glitter on really fast so that it sticks

Repeat with the other foot going in the opposite direction making it look like well a heart

Sprinkle with glitter again

I added little polk-a-dots around the "heart" for a little more pizazz I guess I also wrote the girls names on the bottom with the year. 

 

I love how they turned out and know they will appear every year with the Valentines decor- I love preserving their "littleness" by doing things with their feet and hand prints. I wish I had done more things like this when Molly was little little...

Snow Day

Imagine our surprise when we woke up to about 2 inches one fine Monday morning. I had heard it may snow so I told Molly that morning to go look out her window to see if it had. Well she ran in to look and yelled "Mommy, it snow outside on my house, I needa go play in it. Can you get my glubs, boops, and I need my pants" Then she came in with some gloves out of her little bucked and a beanie on her head and claimed to be ready to rock.... It took a little longer than that and some planning- We don't have snow clothes aside from hats and gloves so we improvised. We decided to drive a mile away to my moms to build a snowman and play in her snow since she had grass and we just have rocks. It was a blast and we still managed to play in the snow at our house after picked Ally up and taking Molly to dance. Most the snow was melted by the mid afternoon.

This was our little snowman, Molly wasn't too keen on helping me she just wanted to eat the snow so we compromised on a nice small snowman.

 Sweet Magadoo had/has been teething for a few weeks now all sorts of teeth breaking through, but she seemed to enjoy her first experience in the snow till she toppled over and it was over after that.. This little snuggly ensemble she has on is from Aunt Ashley that they gave to Molly when she was born. I was shocked it fit her, it was hard to put her little hood on she we put her other hat on instead. It kept her dry and warm despite tipping over.....

 My two sweet snow buddies. Molly was so fun to play in the snow with. Maggie looks so little in this picture.

 

Yes, that is my brother Cody out in the snow with shorts, a t-shirt, and NO SHOES ON....- he and Molly had quite the little snow ball fight! Molly loved it.

 Ally was able to come play with us too...

 2 sets of sweet little footprints in the snow

 Tubby Lover

 

Molly LOVES to help feed Maggie

 

Sucker from the dr.s

 Her new trick, dropping food on the floor or dumping it out of the bowl then placing bowl on face or head!

 Maggie LOVES her ride on toys she got for Christmas- here she is showing the famous "Scrunchy Nose" face

 Happy 11 Months Maggie K. You are my lil' bit and I love you so much- You make our lives so happy and we sure don't know what we would do without you. You have a contagious smile and the cutest little laugh. Your sister loves you so much and you love her right back. You are the sweetest, snuggliest, happiest, little thing, I just love you so much! 

And the monthly comparison picture- Maggie is SO much more petite than Molly at this point in time- and probably will stay that way- Gosh they are cute little things!

Snuggly Sisters...

I love babies in snuggly cozy jamies X that by two and we have snuggly sisters!!! These guys are so sweet to each other especially at night time after they have baths, we read a book, say prayers, brush teeth there is a little rough housing that goes on before we settle them down for bed. This is one of my most favorite times- both girls laugh harder than ever and tackle each other with "lovies and slobber kisses" as Molly calls it. These pictures capture it all....

I sure loves these two little bugs!

Sunbeams....

Where has the time gone, I used to think Molly being a "Sunbeam" was so far away!!! Boy did that sneak right up on me.  I have been feeling a little sad/happy for this time. It means she is growing up and I don't like it I have a love/hate relationship with that concept. I could hardly believe she was big enough to be in the "big kid" church.... She LOVED nursery so much infact after our ward party she was ready to go to Nursery (this is on a sat) and I told her there wasnt nursery that day and she had a huge meltdown. So I was a little nervous that she would be so sad to not go to nursery. Well I talked it up all week and told her they still get snacks, but she gets to sing lots of songs and be a big kid now. She was so excited this morning when I told her. I let her pick out her dress and everything- her dress was a little small, but thats what she wanted. She was so cute and so reverent I was so proud of her she sat there on the front row and listened and even knows the Sunbeam song now. She loved it and has the cutest teachers ever that gave her a special "welcome to sunbeams" treat.

My little "Sunbeam"

 She had to share in her excitement...

 Maggie was excited for Molly too-

 After her first day, with her treat and the CD with the songs we will be working on this year in Primary...

 

Just because she has grown up so much here she is on her first day of nursery at 18 mo. old- WOW!!!
