fell off the bloggin’ train….

I have….fallen off.  But to be fair I haven’t taken many “real” photographs in March. I have been keeping up on my 2014 photobook though….so let me catch you up that way!

Molly B is 3!

 

3 Years Old & …

*You are so cute. You say the cutest things. You call Kyla and Heidi “The Sisters” I love that.

*You are really good at playing alone as long as you are close by me and no one else is home. If “The Sisters” are home you want “thems to play with me.”

*You are still highly demanding. Of course your snacks and shows are your main demands and requests. But you also have so many requests at bedtime. “Check me and leave the door open.” You want me give you “new water” and to close the curtains, and to turn the fan on “not too loud” and to take out random things in your room that you deem “scares me.”

*You obey pretty well and do not like getting in trouble.

*You want to be “strolled” or “hold ye” EVERYWHERE. You don’t really like to walk, especially to the bus stop.

*You love puzzles and are really very good at them.

*You get excited when Dad gets home from work, he loves that because the other girls don’t react that way anymore.

*You always tell me “I love you so much.”

*You are a good snuggler.

*You love shows and movies and could watch TV and “netclicks” all day if I let you.

*You still hate fruit. You will eat a strawberry on occasion and apple sauce when forced.

*You love noodles with “salt” that means parmesan (a lot of parmesan).

*You love “guys.” That is all of your little figurines and doll house people and La La Loopsys, and Swan Palace people.

*You like to play café and make me food.

*You love to dance and laugh.

*You love Frozen. Elsa and Anna…that’s all we hear about.

*You only nap about every third day now. I still make you lay in your bed almost every day.

*You like to say “Sea”  “Hawks!” and its pretty cute.

*You are a sweet, happy, big girl and we love you.

Happy Birthday Molly McGee!

heidi lost a tooth…

 

This girl has been WAITING for a tooth to fall out. We figured out its pretty close to around the same age Kyla lost her first tooth (but she was in Kindergarten then). When you’re now in the first grade and you are the ONLY one in the whole class who hasn’t lost one…it’s a big deal. It’s been wiggly for a while but yesterday it came out…at school. Losing a tooth at school is what you want to happen apparently. Kyla has lost nine so far and not one at school. At school you get a tooth necklace from the nurse to keep your tooth in. At school, its very very cool.

Heidi was so excited and so cute.

She spent quite a while on a letter to the tooth fairy and packaging up her tooth in a paper towel. And then it happened…she lost the tooth (like really lost it- as in it can’t be found). Dad and I searched the floor for about a half a hour. No luck. She was devastated. We finally convinced her that the tooth fairy would still come and that if she didn’t we would give her $50. She left the fairy a little pretend diamond instead of her tooth and in the morning she woke up with four sparkly quarters.

P.S. Molly cried before bed because she DID NOT want the tooth fairy to come. “I scared.” So Heidi added that to her note.. so the TF would know not to go in Molly’s room.

Super Bowl XLVIII World Champions

That’s right folks! If you are reading this blog from a distant land we live in the city of the Super Bowl World Champions. It has been so much fun. Blue Fridays, the 12th man, the whole region so excited for the Seattle Seahawks. Here is what is been looking like around here lately. BLUE AND GREEN! These are from our Bellmont Cabinet Co. Blue Friday party and from Super Bowl Sunday!

Project Life…

I’m back on the bandwagon. I swore it was just too much work. My 2012 digital project life book took me FOREVER!!! I quit and decided to only blog my pictures in 2013 and turn that into a book. Well that pretty much turned into a nightmare as well when I went to print that book that included 1,000 pictures. So I spend a few weeks getting 2012 done and cutting and pasting my 2013 blog into PSE files and then bit the bullet and ordered them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Did I mention how much I love them?

So now I’m back on the Project Life bandwagon. I ordered a bright and sunny brand new digital kit and I’m going to keep up with it (I HOPE) this year so that it’s a couple hours a month not a million at the end of the year. Here is one of my first pages. So cute!

my little snow white

I’m back… (blogging for now). Miss Molly is almost 3. Sunday was a beautiful sunny (but still cold) day. I thought to myself, a great day for photos. How about a birthday girl photoshoot for Molly? The other girls were up for it- so at 3:34 we decided to go for it. The sun sets and is GONE at 4:56. We gathered up our girl, our props, stopped on the way for a sucker at the party store and made it just in time for the prettiest pictures.

Our girl Molly loves Disney princesses. What three year old girl doesn’t? So we decided for her first outfit we’d dress her up like her new Snow White doll from Christmas. This Snow White dress is from Kyla’s first trip to Disneyland and is six years old. The ribbon in her hair- off my new bike from Christmas.  This first one may just be my new MOST favorite picture.

And these three faces are CLASSIC Molly faces…

 

Hello 2014!

 

(from today)

I am currently in OCD mode on getting all my 2012 and 2013 pictures off the computer and into my hands. This is proving to be more difficult than I had originally anticipated and way more time consuming. The blog to book idea didn’t go as I had planned. (More on that later). I’m also contemplating my strategy for 2014 and trying to determine whether or not that will include blogging or not. Stay tuned….
