Tubby Tubby

First things first.. we are still not in our new house, there have been some weird issues on the lenders side, but it is getting worked out and we should be able to close the first of next week, yeah! It better happen soon because our whole house is packed, well mostly and I just packed the pantry and kitchen up because we were suppose to close tomorrow(Fri.) , its quite a mess but it will all be okay we will get in eventually! With that being said here is just a glimpse of our new house... I will most a lot more pictures once we get in and get it pulled together.      

(Master bathtub, kitchen, front view of house, & Miss Molly's room)

Molly loves the "New House" and insisted on wearing her "pack pack" all  day this day...

(front room)

Maggie doo loves the tub, she could stay in there forever!

And she needs them a lot because she does this quite a bit... little stinker- and its usually right after we get her dressed! She does this way more than Molly did- nothing a little "ZOUT" and color safe bleach wont fix :)

Molly loves her puzzles, they are pretty much the only thing in her room thats not packed up right now so she plays with them a lot. I found this so funny, she talks to the pieces and puts them in all sorts of places. I probably wouldn't have seen these, but I was looking for Mag's binky since Molly is famous for hiding it in her room in odd places!

 

Videos from this week!

This just proves how much Mag loves the tub she gets so excited and I was lucky enough to get it on camera to show Clint when he got home from work- I think its pretty funny! Molly gets so animated when she talks about her friends she loves her friends and her grandmas so much-

"More Cheenos Mommy"

"More cheenos Mommy" is what I heard most of Saturday while we were at the Ironman.. My mom had to drop my little brother off to do a concession stand at Main Street and invited us along, we said okay and met her in there. We got there about 9:30 am and didnt leave till 4:00pm it was so much fun, Molly loved walking all around and eating her "cheenos"(cheetos) and drinking her "pot" (pop) She got a really cute bracelet a fun ring and I got some cute sandals from the booths that were around. We also saw the man who took first place ride in on his bike and run out for the marathon portion, then we went and had lunch came back and watched him come into the finish line- Molly had so much fun and if you ask her what she did she says " I said Hi everybody, and I clap clap clap" then you ask what they did and she says " the bike, motorcycles, and they run run run" She was totally into it and Maggie loved being outside. It was so much fun and so neat to be a part of something so intense- those people are totally crazy, but inspiring at the same time!

 

My mom chatting to her friends about the race and Molly being a cheerer!

 

Molly was a little tired and decided to take a little rest-

 

These are pictures we snapped of the runners beginning the marathon portion- these two took first place for male and female!

 

Here are a few other random pictures from this past week I thought were fun...

My silly Molly girl, she is really hard to take pictures of lately so I dont have as many of her she wont smile normal either, o well its still cute and totally how she is right now so why not capture it that way right?

 

This is Magster after I laid her on my bed before I went to bed and she totally posed herself....She must be monitoring what we watch on tv...

 

O boy, this picture speaks for itself, but lately Molly has been taking her shoes off everywhere and anywhere so this is how her feet look and we wipe them and clean them regularly. O to be 2 again!

 

And just a few cute faces from little Maggie Doodie..

 

It was nice to have a very calm, uneventful weekend because we were suppose to be moving, but it got pushed back one more week so next weekend should be busy busy!

2 1/2 Years Old....

This little cupcake was 2 1/2 years old on April 26th, she is now closer to 3 than she is 2 and I can hardly stand it....I look back at pictures of her from just 2 months ago and she has already changed so much she looks like a little girl and not a baby in any form.

I have been thinking a lot about what to write for this and so many things come to mind.
First a list of the latest Molly: 

She can sing her ABC song

She knows how to count to 10

She can identify every letter some in both upper and lowercase

She knows the letters in her name

She knows all her shapes and colors

She Loves her baby sister so much

She is almost fully potty trained, we still have our days!!!1!

She is getting 3 of her 4-2 yr old Molars right now-painful I am sure

She thinks dirt is a classified food group

She LOVES fruit/vegetables of any sort really

She likes to pick out her and Maggie's Jamies every night

She loves to "paint" which means color, or draw with a pen or actually paint

She loves her "guys" (Mickey and Friends/Princesses) just little figures she interacts with

Still takes pretty good naps most of the time

Her favorite store is Target cuz she gets Popcorn and Pop

She also loves going to Costco

She loves going to both her grandma's houses

She gets her heart broken when told No or when she gets in trouble

She is still a Mommys girl and always up for a good snuggle!

My Sweet Little Molly:

You truly are my sunshine, I love seeing your cute little face first thing in the morning. You make our family so full and happy, there isn't a day that goes by that you don't make both your dad and I laugh. You are very smart, sometimes too smart for your own good. You have this light about you that makes the whole world smile, when we are shopping or something everyone just smiles at you and you smile right back. I love it at night when you want to snuggle and ask me to sing "I am a child of Gone" (I am a child of God) for you before you go to sleep followed by asking me to sing "Sunshine"( You are my Sunshine) then you sweetly fall asleep without a fight. You are so very into your friends right now and it makes me so happy to see you interact and play with other kids.You have such a tender little heart,  if someone is hurt or sad you are always there to give a hug and say "You Happy Now" after. When other kids are mean to you it breaks your little heart and you always come to me for comfort and I cherish these moments so much. One day you wont wanna be with me or want me to give you a kiss, but today you do and I truly am taking it all in and sketching it in my memory. You are only little once and I know it goes by far to quickly to let anything go unnoticed, thank you for being my baby girl I love you so much.

Happy 2 1/2 Birthday Baby Girl-Next stop 3 years old!

Love Mommy

Just for fun, this is Molly last year at 18 months....

A littlle this.. A little that....

We have had a pretty low key week, but still managed to have some fun. We are in the middle of packing and getting ready to move to our very first house this coming weekend so things have been busy on the home front-(I will post pics of the house once we are settled in) With that being said here are some pictures from the past week....

We took a little trip to the Splash Pad..... I tended Ally that day so we met up with friends and played in the water-good thing we went early in the week cuz the rest of the week was yucky!

 

O I just love this smooshy little girly

 We spent quite a bit of time at home being goofy and I must be honest it was quite enjoyable....

 I think Maggie may become a boxer.... either that or she is practicing defending herself against her sister:)

 She also loves the tubby and Molly equally loves to take a tub with her "seester"

 Miss Maggie, Molly, and Ally Lola- 

Ally is such a little mother, she is so quick to help whenever asked especially if it has something to do with the baby or helping Molly do/get something. She loves my girls so much and they equally love her. My little Molly asks me everyday if Ally is coming and if I ask her if she wants to go to the park or something like that  she asks me if Ally is going to be there.(molly is eating an orange, this is the best pic I could get of her...)

Somebody in our house absolutely loves "blat berries" she could eat these all day everyday....I don't know why she looks so serious here, but she loves her some black berries.

 O the Park- Molly loves the park and we got done eating dinner early so we decided to take a walk to the park. Molly kinda has a fear of the bigger slides so I told her I would go on them with her. She thought that was pretty cool and I think we eased her fear a bit (one day at the park she somehow flipped on the slide and came out head first and on her back-totally freaked her out). She is obsessed with the swings and will go as high as the swing will allow!

 She was getting a bit tired on the walk so Clint gave her a shoulder ride, gosh she is cute---

 Molly and I have this little game where Molly gives me kisses and we make faces at each other and hold it for a while till we both laugh, that is what is happening in this picture. Unfortunately Clint only captured my face-ha!

 It has been such a great weekend and I couldn't have spent it with anyone that I love more-my sweet little family. I am so grateful we have times like these together....

What a Week....

Molly, Maggie, and I have had a busy week, not so much things we had to do, just things we wanted to do I guess. We went to the park 2 times, to lunch with "Grandma no" (grandma snow), dance class,the splash pad, the kite festival and just played at the house a lot too. Molly has been so good lately and is ever so funny- I always catch myself trying not to laugh at some of the things she says because she is so darn serious about them. Yesterday on the way home from the kite festival we had the following conversation:

Molly: "Mommy, I wanna nap"
           "What do you mean you wanna nap, are you tired?"
Molly: "Yeah, I so tired, I wanna nap"

She is not a fan of her nap, but desperately needs them and is much happier after she wakes up, this conversation shocked both Clint and I. It was fun having such beautiful warm weather to play in all week. We are trying to get out as much as possible because when it is 100 degrees outside it wont quite be as fun-unless we are swimming of course!

 

A quick little lunch date with Great-Grandma Snow after dance class.... Grandam Snow hasnt seen Maggie since she was just a few days old so she was happy to hold her as much as Mag would allow it!(did I mention she is a total mommy's girl)

 

The bouncy seat is one of the only places Maggie will let me put her without her pitching a fit- and that is only if she can see me while in the bouncy seat!

 

When we went to the splash pad it was over cast and I didn't think Molly would like it since it was a bit cold, after about 20 minutes the sun was shining and it was very hard for me to get  her to leave! I am guessing we will be back many times-Molly asks if we can go every day!

The last thing we did this week was go to the kite festival- we picked a bad time to go (lunch time) because it was a little too crowded, but we still managed to have a good time.  Molly wasn't so sure about the bounce houses for some reason she usually LOVES them, but was a bit shy in the jumping department. We got her a snow cone and she thought that was pretty neat too-she loves to eat ice so this made it all the better. Maggie loved being out and just watching everything around her.

Last, but not least here is a bunch of random pictures of Miss Maggie- with her bow over her eyes, I remember Molly doing this all the time and the pictures make me laugh every time I see them. So I have been taking pics of Mag when she does it.
