Growing up....

Miss Molly sure is growing up right before my eyes...luckily for me her birthday is in October so she will not be going to Kindergarten for another year- She has LOVED Pre-School and learned a lot- before going she knew all her letters and the sounds they make. Since completing her first year she knew them even better and learned her numbers how to write numbers and letters the right way.  How to cut around shapes and other objects. How to be a good friend and that sometimes people aren't nice, but you still have to be nice back. She made a lot of really great little friends and how to be a hard worker and do neat work, but work quickly! I would say she had a successful first year of Pre-School I can hardly wait to see what she learns next year. Miss Debbie not only was a great teacher, but genuinely loved Molly and all her students for that matter- if we ever saw her around town she was always so excited to see Molly and make her feel special. We could not have asked for a better teacher to start Molly in her school years...

All the moms pitch in and get an item to go into the bucket for each kid and at graduation they all get a full bucket of fun things to help entertain them in the summer!

So proud of our little Pre-Schooler- she is so excited to go to the 4's class!

Grandma Janet came and brought sandwiches for our picnic- Molly was so excited for her to come and even got to go run around town with her after..

Molly had a very busy Friday, first Pre-School graduation then her ballet recital- I was a bit nervous since she was unable to go to the dress re-rehearsal because of Pre-School that she would not know what to expect and get too nervous to dance- I was so wrong she got up there and showed her stuff- she waived right when she got up there and then she kept putting her little hands above her eyes to look for us in the crowd! She was beaming and LOVED ballet this year. She wants to try tap next year so we will see... She was able to pick her color for her costume this age and she picked green and I don't think she could have picked a better color with her green eyes! She looked so beautiful and grown up. I was very proud of her and loved that she loved it so much and got so excited- Grandma Kara, Grandma Janet, Grandpa Craig, Clint, Maggie and I  were all there to support her and she felt pretty special. I can't believe how much my baby is growing up, but I love to see all the fun, new things she gets to do and learn...

After the recital we headed to Molly's favorite Menchies and got some ice-cream to fully celebrate our girl on her big day of big events!

 

Molly, I am so proud of the little girl you are becoming and all the great things you are doing and will do in the future! Love you so much!

For Mothers day I had the girls paint pots for the grandma's and then we planed Gerber Daisy's in them after they were dry- the girls LOVE to paint especially Maggie- Molly gets bored with it pretty fast, but Maggie could paint all day long- Molly would prefer to color! They were so excited to give them, they picked out just the color they wanted to give to each one...

 

O she is just so crazy!

 

Mothers Day... Molly was so funny to watch while singing with the Primary kids- she walked up there no fear and then while she was up there kept waiving to us and then playing with her neighbor and also sang the songs too- she is a great multitask-er!

 I just finished painting our bar stools this "ocean blue breeze" color and LOVE how they turned out- Maggie looked too cute this day so I thought it was a perfect time to get the chairs in the picture!

 Little IPAD junkies...

 They had a little picnic on their table the other day- this is when I was painting their bathroom so they didn't really get dressed until about o 3 or 4 pm... Whoops!

 Sweet Sweet Maggie K.... I have NO idea how this happened, but Molly came running in to tell us Mag broke the drawer, I just assumed she took the organizers out-WRONG! I walked into this... Not only is the front and side off, but the back is broken and there is NO way that can even fix this-so a new dresser is in order and until then we have a hole in the dresser...Very classy I know!

 

We went to the splash pad with my moms class today and I had to run Molly to pre-school and when I came back this is how I found Maggie- I just noticed her little bum got a little burned, I guess that's cuz her cheeks were facing it for the duration of her nap----

m&m Mondays...

 

Molly: 

1* Is obsessed with taking leaves off our tree and lining them up down the driveway- if we ever play out front this is what she does, she wanted to make a trail to the mail box the other day which is about 2 houses down..

2* She got in big trouble and had her first "grounding" this past week-  She went to her friends house and stayed and played when we told her she could not cuz it was dinner time- She got in big trouble cuz we had no idea where she disappeared too- She was sent to her room to clean it and then go to bed, when I went to check in on her she was fast asleep, her room spotless and this happy little "man" made out of her lamp!

3*Went to the dentist today and has a teeny tiny cavity-BOO! It will get fixed next week!

4* Is done with ballet, has her recital this weekend- Done with Pre-School yr. 1 this week as well

5* Could still play Lalaloopsy all day long-

6*When its been a rough day she says "I need a coke mom"

 

Maggie:

1* This kid is gettin her last 2 molars still and she is showing her true colors... she gets REALLY upset really fast, but if she is happy she is extremely goofy and silly-thank you Tylenol!

2*Really into her babies as of late- she still has to sleep with "purple baby" and "bear bear", but loves to play babies and go shopping for do-nuts in her little world!

3*Loves to pretend to take your picture with her little fake camera- she comes in front of you and says "say cheese" (snap) " O dat so tute"
4* Sleeping better than ever really, every once in a while she wakes up, but goes right back to sleep

5* If I get her a sippy cup of water it has to be all the way filled to the top or she wont drink it- she says " I need lots and lots to the top"

m&m Mondays...

 

Molly:

1* Has kinda been in a mood the last couple days- it has been pulling teeth to get her to do certain things and I think we have finally turned a corner-ex: the middle picture....

2* She loves when I grab her little face and kiss her cheeks and say "Let me kiss those smooshy little cheeks" She laughs so hard all the time

3* Wants Maggie to sleep on the top bunk and her to sleep on the bottom

4* So excited for her ballet recital next weekend and her pre-school graduation

5*When we are whispering or being quiet like when Maggie is asleep she just whispers to me in the sweetest voice "I just love you mom so much, your the best"

6* Not so scared of the water that sprays in sprinklers/splash pads as she was last year!

Maggie:

1* Loved playin at the splash pad in town and was the bravest out of Molly and Zach and was busy going going the whole time

2*Loves me to tickle her back/arms/legs before she goes to sleep-she says "mommy tickle mine back"

3*Only likes to drink strawberry milk and freaks out if she see's me shake it- she does not want it shaken and she wants the cup all the way full

4* Loves shoes and picking her own clothes and actually is matching better and better

5* The above pictures depict her little personality perfectly! She is so happy and silly all the time, but she does have her moments and you better watch out-

6* Molly taught her "poopy head" that Molly learned from a boy at pre-school and she says it to everyone- she has spent a lot of time in timeout for this one and I think soap in the mouth is the next action against this "potty word"

Just some things....

Molly just finished her last week of soccer and actually barely missed a goal by about a couple inches the last game and for  Molly that is awesome since before she hardly wanted to touch the ball just run with her friends and bite her nails... She loved it and I think we will sign her up next year-she loved having Clint coach her, but I don't think he will do it again- those little kids are pretty exhausting to get to focus on all the aspects of soccer-no hands, out of bounds, which goal is theirs etc. So for our first go at this soccer bit I would call it a success, she got better each game! She even got a medal at the end and one of the kids moms threw a  little pizza party after.

This little turkey liked the games too- she got to squirt people with her little squirt gun and  eat lots of treats that Grandma Janet would bring her..

Ayla plays on the older teams, but we were able to go watch her a few times when our games finished before hers... Molly loved going to watch Ayla and Ayla was equally excited to see Molly..

They both just so happened to be #4..

Her Team Pictures turned out pretty cute too...

MAGGIE MAGGIE MAGGIE......... This kid keeps me on my toes I am super good about keeping markers-especially permanent ones up high and out of sight along with scissors. Apparently not good enough some how she found one and I have no idea wear. While I was doing my hair I came out and she said "Loot Mommy, I tolor a pretty picture and my feet" Permanent marker on the floor her feet, hands, thigh, and the little art table. When I went to put her in the tub I found it on her bum too- Luckily I was able to get it all off with some fingernail polish remover... Little Stink!!!

Usually on the weekends Molly gets to watch a show in the playroom and Maggie never wants to she wants to lay by me and go to sleep so this one night Maggie had been in there for a while and when I walked in I saw this sweetness and couldn't help but take a quick picture.. They sure love each other!

Maggie also rocker her first real pony tail- I know I posted on earlier but that one didn't really count since it fell out after o 5 min. cuz her hair was not quite long enough- This time it lasted all day so I would consider that a successful first pony- She was pretty proud of it too as you can see her looking at herself in the mirror!!!!
