Nursery

I can hardly believe Maggie is already in Nursery! I knew she would have a hard time with it, but couldn't imagine just how hard. I left her for like 10 minutes the first week and she cried so hard they had to bring her to me. The next week she was distracted so I left her and same thing. (we took her a few weeks before she was "legal" since we teach primary and she distracting to the kids) So the week when she was actually suppose to be in there I decided not even to try to leave. She pretty much just sat on my lap the whole time, it was so sad. She was nervous I would leave her so she kept grips on  me. So needless to say, I guess I get to go to Nursery too. Today I was helping in there and took a little boy potty and she totally FREAKED OUT, she wouldn't let me put her down for the last hour! She has been better about me leaving her with Grandma's and Clint, but Nursery or anything else FORGET IT!! Lets hope its a phase she will grow out of, but I don't see that happening any time soon. For now we will just go to Nursery together and play with the toys and eat snacks!

Here is my two girlies both on their first day of Nursery!!

Cousins

This past weekend Clints sisters came down with their kids Zach and Mya. Molly and Mya are best friends and talk about each other all the time. I can't tell Molly, Mya is coming until she is on her way down or else I don't hear the end of it for days. They all played fairly well together. Maggie may be littler, but she doesn't let that stop her and keeps up pretty well. It was a very fun, yet exhausting weekend to say the least, but we can't wait to do it again...

We spent as much time outside as possible to keep these little kids busy.. Lots of time in their diapers/underwear/naked since it was so hot outside...

.

 We took a trip to the splash pad and the carousel, Molly had been before, but not Maggie to the one in town so that was  must they went on 3 times and still wanted more. We need to go back-maybe this week!

 I love this picture...captures her to the "t"

Ice Cream Cones Anyone?

Molly and Mya

 Zach

 Maggie

We then decided to try "Anti Gravity" out and since they loved it so much the first time we went back a few days later. We all jumped and were totally beat by the end. It sure wore my kids out and Molly keeps asking to go back. She loved it more than I thought she would cuz she is a little timid about bounce houses and such. She has always loved tramps so I wasn't too concerned. Maggie on the other hand is  a nut and can climb up the steepest things and has absolutely NO fear. She is a CRAZY!!!!!!! Zach was all over the place and I didn't seem to get a picture of him....OOPS!

 Berkley and Maggie

Maggie is 18 Months Old...

HOLY COW! Where did the last 6 mo. go? I swear I just got done with her first Birthday.. I can not believe how much she has changed in the last month it is crazy. She is the cutest and funniest kid ever, I love to see what she will come up with next and try to figure out what she is thinking/scheming about! She is a little spit-fire and so full of it. She keeps me laughing all the time and I can't get enough "lubies" from her. She is so so attatched and doesnt like me out of her sight. It is hard sometimes, but I dont't mind most the time. I love how snuggly and sweet she is. She is always right under my feet whenever I am doing something. If she notices I am not around she looks through the whole house for me. Although she is attatched she will go off and play by herself, but not for long. She has been such a great blessing in our family and the best friend for Molly. I love watching them play and laugh together and even fight together cuz it can get pretty funny. She is just the perfect piece of the puzzle for us. She fits right in and I don't know what we did without her. 

Happy 1.5 yr. Maggie K.

 Her little Curlies

 Big Girl Panties: We got her some and I let her wear them around for a while

 I took this picture at about 9:30 one morning

 

I finished doing my hair and came out at 9:35 and took this picture....Covered in purple marker

My babies both at 18 Months Old... They look so different to me!

Fun in the gutter...

This is one of my most favorite articles of clothing the girls have. I got this sweet little dress when I was in Ecuador 6 yrs ago and couldnt wait to put my baby girl in it. Molly wore it first obviously and it held up awesome. So when Maggie was finally big enough I couldn't wait to put it on her. To me, they look so sweet and precious in it- it just melts my heart.

 Just for comparison sake this is Molly the same age/same dress. See simply precious!

 Now onto the gutter.. Our neighbor just got a pool put in and for some reason they were draining it to the gutter so what better way to play outside at 8:30 in the morning than to put on your swimsuit (after their jamies had been soaked) and play in the gutter and race pop cans down and catch them... We also filled up the little pool and the girls had a blast!!!

A little bit from Molly...

 Molly kills me with some of the things she says sometimes so I thought I would share a little:

A conversation Molly had with my mom:

Grandma K: "We don't like Wingers"

Molly: "No way! Wingers is gross! It's  private huh Mommy?"

Mom: "Molly I dont want you to go to preschool, cuz that means your getting too big!"

Molly: "Mommy its okay you just lay down and relax. You be happy sweetheart"

Mom: "I dont want you to grow up bigger, just stay little"

Molly: "but Mommy, I have to grow, grow, grow and taller just like my daddy"

Clint: "Molly, your growing like a weed"

Molly: "(sat on the floor in a ball) I'm a weed, pull me daddy"

Molly was singing "Row your boat"  in the tub:

Mom: "Where did you learn that song?"

Molly: "Just on Facebook Mom"

 I did my hair curly for the first time in a way long time:

Mom: "Molly do you like my hair?"

Molly: "No, it looks goofy"

Mom: "Why?"

Molly: "Just go in the bathroom and change it!"

Molly was spelling Maggie's name to her and when she was done she said " Maggie your a genius"

Molly: "The sun is in my eyes"

Mom: "Im sorry"

Molly: "I don't like the sun its so dumb!"

One week I took Maggie into the nursery( not quite old enough) just cuz she was being crazy in Primary- Well after church was over Clint and Molly came to get us-

Molly to Maggie: "Hi sweetheart, how was your day- did you have so much fun- look at that picture good job sweetie"

 

Just today I was making a list of stuff I needed to get done and Molly wanted me to write her list down so I did and wrote everything she told me. This is so her it just cracks me up!

 

Love you Molly J. Thanks for keeping me entertained!
