Happy Valentine's Day!

Here is one of my lovey valentine's.

This girl just melts my heart!

Smooches!

January 1 2011

The girls tried out ice skating! How cute are my little skaters?!

Happy 2011!!

We celebrated at home this year...so fun to just chill out with the girls :)

Ever the writer, Molly practiced letters and drawing as we waited for the ball to drop.

Of course, she had to be dressed in her most beautiful princess gear!

Molly helped Bronson join in on the celebration! He doesn't look too thrilled!

Molly played photographer during the night...

I can't wait to see the things that you do this year Miss Molly!

CHRISTMAS!

Molly watched intently as Sarah opened the first gift.

Molly enjoyed playing Santa and delivering presents!

The Talking Baby that Molly was really wishing for!

This was the year of babies and games :)

Ah, the disaster after the storm! Would you ever believe this was at 5 a.m??

I know it's been a while...

But, the good news is that I got a new camera and a huge memory card, so I can take lots of pictures! I got a few great ones today as we celebrated Snip and Snap and Christmas with Don's family.

Hot Chocolate!

Sisters ready to go sledding!

Sledding behind the golf cart!

All bundled up, but still smiling!

This year you really bonded with your cousin Hope. You two look like trouble...

Opening an adorable puppy purse from your Aunt Tracy!

Cousins! Sam, Molly, Emily, Sarah, Hannah and Hope

I am just enjoying every moment with you, Molly. Although you can be challenging, your feisty attitude is something that I will cherish forever! You have recently begun calling me your "best buddy" and I love it! You've been calling things "normal" and/or "terrible." Basically, you have learned those words and love to say them - whether or not they make sense in the context you are using them! It just cracks us up! Don't ever change!

Since my last post was pictures, this one can be text. I keep delaying writing in hopes that I will get to Meme's to use some of her great pictures, (my camera was smashed to pieces when I dropped it on the floor a few weeks ago) and in the mean time, I am forgetting things that I want to write down. And so, this is a word only post!

You are growing up so quickly. You have the silly charm of your daddy and the impulsive, feisty side from me. You make us laugh every day with the words that come out of your mouth - newest phrases include, "OH, Darnit!" Yilly? (Really?), This is terrible!, Momma!!, I told you like an hour! (one of our favorites...said to Daddy often when he is doing something to irritate Molly and she wants him to stop.).

We are still working on staying dry at bedtime - we've tried unsuccessfully to go cold turkey but the sight of you in the middle of the night, soaking wet, breaks my heart. We've gone back to pull-ups and you get marbles for each dry night. You are getting better and better each day!

On the potty note, I have to document the story about preschool! You have been going to preschool Monday through Thursday with Mrs. Albright and Mrs. Barrier. You do lots of painting and playing outside. A few weeks ago, you began coming home in different outfits almost daily. Your clothes were piled in a bag in your bookbag, soaking wet. I could not, for the life of me, figure out why you were having accidents at school so often! I understand once in a while if you were busy playing, but every day?!?! YILLY??? So I decided to go a little early one day to pick you up and watch you outside. I got there and peeked out the window but didn't see you! Mrs. Albright poked in and said that you had come in to the bathroom. I waited outside the door for about five minutes and then knocked to see if you were okay. When I entered, you had about three outfits lined up on the floor, trying to decide what to wear! (The bathroom holds a cabinet with extra changes of clothes!) We figured out that you were possibly having accidents in order to "shop" for a new outfit! You little stinker!

In regard to school, you are doing fabulous! You love to write your name and practice other letters. You also bring home a painting almost every day! I am loving how smart you are :)

Well, duty calls - you need help with getting dressed today, so I guess this will basically be my Potty Post. I'll write more soon!

Fall is here! Here is a picture update of my goofy Molly :)

We had lots of play dates with Cayden this month. Here they are tuckered out and Molly is being her usual goofy self.

Classic.

Wooley Bear Festival 2010

Black day at school.

After disappearing for a bit, Molly reappeared in this huge leaf pile!

Festivals we attended this fall - Molly loved this tractor trail and the bubble party!

Train ride fun!

Check back soon :)
