HUMP DAY

Uncle Ky has made it over the hump that is the first year in the mission. He is already half way done and I can't believe how fast it has gone. I hope this next year goes just as quick and with having a 2 1/2 year old and a new baby I am sure it will go quick anyways! He is such an awesome missionary and rarely complains about much of anything. He is so hard working and truly LOVES the work that he is doing. He has grown a lot and it is a neat thing to see. We miss him tons, but are so glad he is where he is. The people in Taiwan just love him and he loves them right back. We always look forward to his emails and every once in a while letters. Molly always talks about him and prays for him every night. Ky and Molly have a very special little bond and he is always emailing back with fun things of places and things he wants to do with "chug"(molly) when he gets home. Just this past week he emailed and said he "Can't wait to tear it up at the ice skating rink with chug" What lucky girls to have an uncle like that. When Ky gets home Molly will be just about 3 1/2 and Maggie will be barely 1, the other two cousins will be just over 2 so we will have lots of little feet running around and entertaining us. Ky may come home to madness, but it will be a good madness! We are so proud of you Ky keep doing an awesome job and we will see you in a year!!!

This is a picture Ky sent us of him in a rice field. One thing he wanted to do while in Taiwan was wear one of these hats and go into a rice field. It is one of our favorites!

And last, but not least one of my most favorite pictures! Uncle Ky Ky and "Chug" -Molly is sporting the Jazz Jersey he got her for Christmas! We will have to get her a new one and pass this one down to Maggie its too little now!Love you uncle Ky Ky!!!

This little girl...

This little girl is 2 years and 4 months old....
She is totally full of sugar and spice
She knows all her ABC's
She can now count to 10, but refuses to say the #4
Potty Training went right out the window-Starting again in a week
Loves Dance Class
She wears size 2T/3T
She is very tall
She wears a size 7/8 shoe
Her favorite song is "EIEIO" according to her
She loves her blankies when she sleeps
Loves her "Hoo- Hoop" (Hula Hoop)
Most favorite thing right now is "Play Park"
Moves her stool wherever she needs something
Always asks for me to do her hair and add the bows

She is a handful, but a great little handful to have around. She has adjusted nicely to the new baby thing except for the potty thing, but that is fixable and she is a smart little stinker. She knows when the light is red you stop and green you go. She is talking like crazy and says some pretty funny things. She will copy whatever you say especially if it gets a great reaction. She is so full of it and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is getting way too big, but will always be my baby.

These next two pictures are of Molly Sunday after church she found some chap-stick and sat against the wall put it all over her lips, her bears lips, and then ate most of it. She LOVES chap-stick!These two have such a special bond that I hope they keep forever. Molly loves Maggie to pieces, whenever Maggie is near by Molly has to touch and love on her. When Maggie is fussy Molly tries to give her her binky or just talk to her. I just watch Molly sometimes and listen to her sweet voice saying to Maggie " Hi, tute baby" "Hi my baby" "I luv you baby" the list goes on with such cute little things. She just loves her little sister and Maggie loves her right back, Maggie follows Molly intently with her little eyes. O it is a sweet sweet thing to witness.


This little girl is 2 weeks old
She weighs 8lbs 10 oz that's just about a pound since 5 days old
She is still 20 inches long
She still pretty much just wears newborn stuff
She loves to snuggle
She eats so quick and is always satisfied
She is very very content
She only wakes up once or twice a night
Loves her Binky

Loves the tubby now that she can actually soak
She still looks like Molly, but definitely has her own little look
Makes the cutest noises when she is sleeping
Grunts ALL the time
Her has already grown a lot- lets home it doesn't fall out!

She is so sweet and content all the time, she hardly every makes a peep and when she does she does a high pitch squeal that just makes me laugh. She is chunking right up, but still super little. She is sleeping a lot still, but is always wide awake when I feed her after Molly goes to sleep, that's our special time and I love it so much.
I love being a mommy more than anything in the whole world, these two beautiful girls are my whole life and I am just so HAPPY!

Two sweet girlies

The past week in a half we have been spending a lot of time inside at home. Needless to say we don't rush to get ready in the mornings and usually spend them on the bed watching cartoons until we decide its time to get ready even if there is nowhere to go. So in most these pictures Molly's hair is a mess and they are both in their jamies or naked:) It has been so much fun having Maggie in our house, Molly is very protective of her in fact we went to dinner one night and saw some people we knew, they took Maggie to show their kids and Molly was very upset that they took her away from us. It is pretty cute to see what a strong bond they already have and Maggie is just barely 12 days old. Molly always comes up and just rubs Maggie's head or looks at her and says "tute baby" or something to that effect. She loves her sister and has adjusted really well, every once in a while she has a naughty moment, but I have to keep telling myself she is only 2. Potty Training went right out the window so maybe next week we will train her again, it is a pain since she has been potty trained a few times now, maybe now that she is older it will stick-heres to hoping. Anyways, I take lots of pictures and they are all of the girls because they are my whole life! Enjoy!

Our little chub, she is getting a double chin and rolls on her thighs already- love it!

My two orphan children, one is naked and the other well she just looks like an orphan!
I loved these jamies on Molly and it is no different with Maggie, I also love the sleep position she is in. Most of the time she likes to be held, but she was all sprawled out for this one.
Silly little Mol-Ball
Once again in jamies, rockin her sunglasses. She loves those things.
She has spent the last couple days with an awful cold, she fell asleep on the couch watching Mickey. It has been pretty rough and trying to keep the baby healthy is very tricky!
A great sight, when I lifted the cover off her car seat to find this I just laughed because I can't even count how many times I have pictures of Molly in this exact same fashion:)

Molly was conked out at about 6 this night, but wanted us to lay by her so here we are snuggling on the bed. Molly loves to lay on the boppy.Grandpa Craig
These at the park were taken a few days before Maggie came. Molly asks every day to "Play Park" Before she never really loved it, but all of a sudden that's all she wants to do and tries to turn everything into a slide.


I took these when Maggie was 5 days old I believe. These are the cute dresses they are wearing for our family pictures we just got done a few days ago, but I was just trying to get a cute one of the two of them.
I also snapped a few of Maggie when she was 5 days old, we had her newborn pictures taken when we got our family ones done, but I took these to remember a few things about her: Her sweet little lips, her dark brown hair that can actually get messy because she has enough of it, her little wrinkly feet, her little pinky toes that tuck under the other toes on both feet just like Molly and myself, how her little nose wrinkles when she gets mad or smiles and her sweet dainty little hands and fingers. She is the sweetest little baby and we are so thrilled to have her here.

So Lucky

I am one lucky mama! I have two of the most beautiful little girls in the whole world. They are both so sweet in their own little ways. They are so much a like as babies it is crazy. I thought Molly was a good eater, but now that Maggie is here she is putting Molly to shame. Looks like we may have another smooshy one on our hands. There are quite a few pictures, but a lot has been going on the past couple days.

Maggie 2 days old
Her little cheeks got so red with that darn rash, it was also all over the rest of her body and left some little scabs where some of the rash was. Poor girl, it looked yucky, but didn't bother her at all thank goodness.
This was right before bed time. Not a sweeter moment, I just love this picture.On Valentines Day we wanted to get out of the house and feel human again after being shut in for a couple days. We got to spend the first half of the day outside in my parents backyard. Molly got to dig in the sand and climb up the rocks-two of her most favorite things. Great Grandma Jan even pushed her in the swing and took her for a special walk. That night we went to Broadhead's and enjoyed some time there. Molly loved playing with Mya and seeing everyone there as well. Maggie slept most all of it, but did manage to have her first blow-out at what 2 days old- she is outdoing Molly in that department as well:)....we may be in for it.

While I was getting ready, I peaked into Molly's room to find this... so sweet...

Swing time


This is our first family picture since Molly couldn't come to the hospital. Not that great, but the first one none the less.
Molly and Mya in Grandma's Tub

Grandpa Craig
Maggie's first bath- She HATED it and screamed the whole time


Molly loves to hold Maggie, but not for very long. She has been so good I can't believe it I was really nervous for how she may react, but she loves her sister so much and still loves me:) I couldn't be happier. Of course she has her moments, but she is only 2.

My beautiful sleeping babies
Big Maggie holding Little Maggie. My best friend in the whole world came to pay us a little visit. It made my whole day.
Little Bug and Keva
Becky- we have had such fun visitors. I didn't get a picture of each one, but have loved having people come visit. Some we don't see nearly enough so I have loved the special visits. Everyone that has come to see Maggie has been so sweet in thinking of my Molly girl. Each one has brought her a special "prize" for being the big sister. We are so lucky to have so many people that care about us.

Some pictures of Maggie from the past couple days. Her rash is finally clearing up and her sweet face is looking perfect again. I think her and Molly look so much alike, but they each still have their own little look.

What kind of face is this?????
Tubby Time, she liked it better the second time around.
Maggie 5 days old.
Took her to the doctor today for a little check-up and she has barely lost .2 oz so basically she hasn't lost anything he said and was surprised at that because most babies lose 5-10% of their birth weight. Like I said we may just have another smooshy one on our hands. She is doing great, still eating really well and sleeping pretty good at night only waking up twice to eat and goes right back to sleep.
Just for fun- here is a picture of Molly @ 5 days old...I think Maggies face is a little more full, but they look pretty similar
on a side note:
Clint went back to work today and since I was taking Maggie to the doctor Janet offered to play with Molly. When I dropped Molly off I told her I was taking Maggie to the doctor and would be right back. We shut the car door and were walking up to Janet's front door when Molly looked back towards the car, waived her hand and said " bu-bye baby I wuv you". O she just melts my heart.
