A few February Instagrams

Little Drawings

I love the little notes and drawings that my girls do. 

They are my favorite. 

Molly will "color" and color for a long time. 

Recently this is what I have been finding...

I love it.

Austen & Bennett

I guess it’s newborn season or something! I didn’t even realize that I knew three babies that were born around the exact same time. Today I visited these sweet boys and their family. I just think they are both the cutest. Austen was very snuggly and Bennett such a great big brother and so polite. Sweet sweet boys…

Prez Week: The rest

The rest of Presidents week was short on pictures but not short on fun.

Wednesday: We went to the King County Aquatics center and had a ton of fun swimming again.

Thursday: We started our day at the Doctor’s office for a 7 year check up and a 2 year old check up. Molly had to get one shot and did not shed one tear. She’s tough like that.

Kyla’s Stats: 44lbs- 14% 4ft .5”- 50% 

Molly’s Stats: 25lbs- 26% 34.5”-66%

Next the Edwards girls came over all day while their mom was out. Lunch did not go according to plan but we made due. I told them “we improvised- that’s a fancy word for made it work".

We finished the night at the dentist. Heidi had to get a filling. She didn’t flinch (thanks in part to a television right in front of her face).

Friday: We visited our sweet friends Dorianne, Camdyn, and Livi (no pictures). Then we headed off to the Supermall where Heidi picked these glasses as a reward for her bravery…her own fashion glasses that fit.

Saturday: Was Upward Cheerleading and an evening hanging out with JuJu and crew eating delicious chocolate brownies.

Sunday:  Church, brunch with Gramma and Papa and an afternoon all to myself- wonderful.

I never reported on that first Saturday of break. We had no Cheerleading that day so we decided to go to Tiny Tots Skate with the neighbor crew. So fun. Molly opted out of the stroller and onto some skates. SO cute. She loved it. When we got home the girls stayed outside for about five hours. Heidi cried when it was time to come in. They are loving this new little cul-de-sac and so am I. While they were outside I put a new saying on the chalk board wall.

A nice break from school. Fun times with my girls. Now back to it!

Prez Week: Tuesday

Tuesday was a pretty low key but FUN day. The girls played the morning away with Taylor and Addison. Kristin came to pick up her girls and we got to have a little visit with the newest addition, Hayley. Molly LOVES babies and loves Hayley. Hayley is tiny. She’s sixish weeks old but still oh so small. Kristin is VERY gracious and lets Molly snuggle and hold her.

Did I mention she loves her. I’m not sure Hayley loves her back.

Of course we had to stage a little photoshoot while she was here…

The girls were sad to see the sisters leave but they continued their afternoon playing in the backyard, typing on the typewriter and of course singing some Wii High School Musical. It’s serious stuff around here (don’t sing the words if it isn’t your turn-SERIOUSLY). P.S. I LOOOOOOOOVE this Chevron mirror Casey crafted me. I smile every time I come into the room.

Then we blew bubbles and rode bikes with the cousins….

Prez Week: Monday

Monday: We stayed in our pajamas until we got into our swimsuits-after lunch.

We met Chels and the girls at family swim. Everyone loved it- except Harper, who thought the mural of an orca on the pool floor was a giant shark (not good). 

In the late afternoon it was time for a long planned sleepover with Taylor and Addison and all of their dolls. The girls all did great. The movie selection was the roughest part. :) Molly loved tagging along.

Prez Week: Sunday

We have some fun things planned for this week off.

Sunday we got spend some non-moving/non-project time as a family. It was nice. We went to the Tacoma Children’s Museum for few hours. It was great. We’d never been. It was small but all three girls loved it there.

They had an art room which of course Miss Artist LOVED.Molly had a perfect time there. She loved it all…especially the water table.

Heidi and Molly in the art room…Heidi wore this hat the ENTIRE weekend.

A fun time….more fun stay-home days to come….

Mickey Mouse & “Cookie” Party

Molly’s birthday party was yesterday. It was all family. And it was so cute. YaYa did the party. Molly’s only requests, “MickeyMouse” and “Cookies.” She got both and more! The cake was amazing. The food was corn dogs and Beecher’s Mac & Cheese. And Molly loved her personalized music mix made by Nana Tana! 

She matched YaYa…

And the party decorations…

Her besties were there (Rocco was asleep for most of the party so he missed out on pictures)…

The amazing cake from YaYa…

And the requested cookies for the “Cookie Party”…

I think this was her favorite part of the party, everyone singing Happy Birthday to her….

Officially a two year old. So much fun. I love this age.

Molly turns TWO!

Happy Birthday to my Miss Molly!
SHE’s TWO!
I can’t even believe it.
Here is are a few things about Molly on her 2nd birthday:

♥ Molly’s two favorites in life- Mickey Mouse and “cackas.”
♥ She still refuses to eat fruits and vegetables.
♥ She loves spicy things and gobbles up dad’s crazy egg concoctions with lots of hot sauce on them.
♥ Every time the phone rings she says, “YaYa?”
♥ She loves books and looking at books in her room or in the car.
♥ She is very hot or cold (especially with her sisters). She’s either loving them or screaming at them.
♥ She loves Costco samples. It’s not good when the sample lady is still cooking her sample and doesn’t have any out.

♥ Can’t sleep without J.J. and binky.
♥ She loves dressing up, wearing jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, and anything girly.

♥ She wants me to “hold ye” (hold her) a lot.
♥ She tells me when she poops and pees and often wants to sit on the potty.
♥ She gets very sad when anyone talks to her sternly.
♥ She love her friends “Hi-e” (Heidi), “Ky” (Kyla), “Harpy” (Harper), “JuJu” (Julia), “Rocky” (Rocco), and the whole Edwards clan is known as “Addi”. (Pea and Enzo too but she doesn’t call them anything yet).
♥ She loves having her picture taken. She’s a little ham.

♥ She loves to play with all the tiny American Girl Doll school stuff. She sits at Kit’s tiny desk and uses a teeny tiny pen to write in teeny tiny books.

♥ She is defiantly a personality and we love our little MOLLY MCGEE!
