Maggie's 1st Birthday Party

We had the best birthday party for little Maggie... We decided to have it at the park and prayed that it would be warm and NOT windy!!! Well, our prayers were answered because it was atleast 60' and NO wind!!! I wanted it at the park so the kids could run and play and it was way easy clean-up! We invited family and close friends to celebrate the 1 year mark for the little miss... It was a blast, Maggie was happy the entire time and I know she knew it was her special day. We are so lucky to have so many people who love our little family and support us like they do. We couldn't pull any of these things off without the help of our parents they are so willing to bring whatever and help us clean-up. We are so lucky they both live so close and are so lucky to have such great friends. Molly I dont even think knew there was a party going on because her and her "friends" were playing from the second they got there till the second they left. The only time Molly existed as when she helped Maggie open presents and the cake was cut!  Maggie was so genuinley happy with her presents each one she would open and then hold to her face saying "ooooooooooo" It was just precious. I am so glad she had a great day and it was a good excuse to get everyone together... 

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

 We had pulled pork sandwiches, pizza, chips/salsa and CAKE!!

 I got the big cake from Costco I couldn't pass up its cuteness and then I made Maggie's smash cake

 Opening Presents

 Molly and her BFF's

 And here is the birthday girl in all her cuteness....

 My new favorite picture

 She was dainty with the cake at first, and then once she had a few bites she was hooked!!!! She just stared at everyone as we sang "Happy Birthday"

 I thought this was so funny, I opened up her cards once we got home and I opened 4 yes 4 of the exact same card out of 6- how does that happen with ALL the cards in the world she gets 4 of the same one...

 This is most all her birthday loot, minus a few things that were already put away!

I can't believe she is one already, what a great year it has been!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Maggie K.....

Little Stinkers...

This past week we have just been hanging out a lot since it was so dang cold last week and the wind pretty much blew ummm.. forever we spent a lot of time cooped up inside and well that made for lots of trouble making for these two little munchkins... Those days were when Maggie made all those messes in a few posts back and it just seemed to never end. Now that it is getting warmer the naughtiness has slowed thank goodness. Molly lives to be outside or even running errands so being cooped up was NOT her favorite.. Here are some pics from the past week:

Dont let their cuteness fool you...They should be named Destroyer and  Master Accomplice 

 Well, well, well, I knew it was too good to be true. Molly has never really done anything REALLY bad and I was feeling pretty good about it I guess it was too soon. I was doing my hair and could hear the girls over the baby monitor in Molly's room so I wasn't too worried Molly was singing and talking to Maggie and Mag was laughing and talking back... I finished my hair walked into Molly's room and she said with the most proud face ever " Isn't it beatifus (beautiful) Mommy?" It took me a sec to see what she was talking about and I said " Molly- WE DO NOT COLOR ON THE WALLS!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY ON PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!" and well she just felt awful as you will see in the next picture, bless her tender little heart. Now when she asks to color she says "Mommy, not on the wall only my papers huh?" Lets just say I love Magic Eraser got the brown colored pencil off really really fast and with little elbow grease needed-thank goodness....
( click on the pics to see the coloring masterpiece better)

 This was Mag as I was getting after Molly and cleaning the artwork...

 These two sure love each other. I love right when they get in their jamies and ready for bed one of the best times of day. They are so happy and squeal and giggle like crazy

 Escape.... from her diaper that is... I just let her run in her diaper before getting ready for church and turn around and she is bookin it NAKED... She can now take her diaper off...... She is too smart for her own good!

 Molly gave her first prayer in primary today. I was so proud of her, she got up and I had to help her a little bit then she just took off on her own and then had me help her at the end. She is getting so big....

 She told me to take her picture on her "very special prayer day"

 Gosh she is such a ball to have around this place...

 last but not lease I can hardly believe this little bit will be one in a few days........WOW!!!!

I am ready for the party'n this weekend, Molly is more excited for Maggie's party than ever and has helped me in every aspect of the little party!

From the mouth of Molly

 Sometimes Molly says some of the funniest things... I try to jot them down and sometimes they seem funnier in the moment, but man she keeps me laughing and on my toes....Here is just a glimpse at her little personality!

We were pulling away from the bank:
M: Mommy, you got 1 million dollars?
*: sure, Mol- lets hope so
M: Wow, Your so awesome
----------------
While driving home from Pasta Clint had given us a cookie to take with us:
M: Can I have a cookie Mommy?
*After I get Maggie settled with her bink
M: Cookie Mommy?
*Molly, relax I cant get it yet, just a minute!!
(2 min. later)
M: Cookie??
*Mol, you need to be patient okay-(Maggie is still fussing about)
M: Relax Mommy, just relax!
------------------
Another time Clint gave us a cookie:
*Molly if you can be patient while I do tricky driving then I will get you the cookie, okay?
M: Well Mommy, I dont want to be patient Okay!
------------------
M: Daddy, I turn the light on?
D: Why?
M: cuz
D: cuz why?
M: cuz you a poopie
---------------------

While walking around Target Molly wanted to look at the toys:
M: Mommy
*yeah Molly
M: Your driving me crazy
-------------------
Clint and Mol had seen people smoking outside while in the car, then Clint left to run into a store and I was sitting in the car waiting with the girls...
M: Daddy dont "moke" (smoke), Maggie doesnt "moke"
*yeah your right smokings bad for you
M: yeah
*it can kill you
M: kill (with giant eyes) just like cats!
--------------------
Just some things she says randomly:

"Boys are "hamsome" Girls are "Prilly" "(handsome/pretty)
"Daddy, you saved the day"
"Look at me, Look at me, I'm fabulous"
"Boys are "hamsome" Girls are "Beautifus" (handsome/beautiful)

That is just a little glimpse at the things she says... Just having a chat with her is the funnest part of my day!!

Naughty, Naughty, Naughty.....

This sweet little stinker has been a total mess box the last 2 days, yes this all happened in 2 days! She is constantly by my side so this usually doesn't happen, but as I would be cleaning up one mess she was off stirring up some more trouble- She is so proud of the work she has done and just smiles at me when i catch her in the act...Her favorite is the toilet paper I try and keep the bathroom doors clothes constantly, but she usually goes in when Molly is making a quick potty run! Not to mention these came along with the  other messes by Molly and the little guy that I tend being made in the process, it sure was a tiring two days! 

"Here mom, I thought you liked your toilet paper shredded and off the roll"

 "Yup, I knew they would be out of the box eventually so I thought I might help the process"

 "Why are you looking at me like that mom?"

 "Yes, I know this is a "no, no" but Molly ran to the bathroom and left it for a few seconds, I thought I would try it out"

 "I sure do love me some good books- or 20 all around me"

 "Ah yes, more toilet paper to totally unwind... my new favorite thing"

 "I think we should use a dishrag in every color today"

 "I know daddy's dvd's and such are his prize possession- I just wanna see what the hype is about"

Gosh she is just so darn cute and innocent....I sure love my baby girl even if she is on a little naughty streak....
