A New Friend

This is Emma. She is our neighbor. Molly and Emma LOVE playing together. This is only the second time they have played together, but they act like old friends. They get along really well. It is really nice to have someone for Molly to play with. We look forward to a great summer of play!

Farm Girl

Picking strawberries

Look at these good ones!

The flowers around there are gorgeous!

Molly ate all the strawberries we picked!

More beautiful flowers!

Oink, Oink! Are these pigs cute or what? I wanted to bring them home!

Tage and Lisa were such great hosts!

Molly made friends with the white one, but the brown one was her favorite!

Come here, cows!

Just a swingin!

Posing

Molly found a toad while she was posing

What a great statue

There was lots of room to run!

Molly liked helping Lisa take care of the animals

We had a fantastic visit at the farm! Molly loved all the animals and being outside. It is so peaceful there. Tage and Lisa are great hosts and made us feel very welcome. We would love to go back and spend more time there. It really is a wonderful place! Thanks Tage and Lisa for a great time!

Dancing Queen

My Girl!

Molly was so excited to see Grandma!

We were so happy to see all of Andy's family!

Shaking her Groove Thang!

Molly made lots of friends.

Molly was really looking forward to dancing with Grandma!

The kids were so cute dancing!

Uncle Jeff was nice enough to share a dance with Molly!

We went to Andy's cousin's wedding on Saturday. It was so great to see all of Andy's family. It has been awhile since we have seen each all of them. They were all very excited to meet Molly. She was so happy to be at the wedding. She LOVES dancing! She had so much fun dancing her heart out!

Who's Ready For the Beach!?!?

41 Days till Hilton Head!!!! I finally got Molly to try on her bathing suits tonight! She was loving it! She was modeling for Daddy! When she put the one with the skirt on she said she was "doing the hula!" like on Mickey Mouse! She was so cute! She said "I go to the beach now?" Not now, but soon!

School Party!

Molly was so excited to take a cookie cake and goody bags in to her friends at school today! She was so cute running into school! She couldn't wait! Too bad we can't take cake everyday!

To Molly with Love....

Sweet baby girl,

You are such a bright shining star in my life! You are turning into such a little girl. I can't believe how big you are and how old you act. You really are just a little me. You are like me in so many ways. Daddy thinks it's funny how alike we are. You are so smart and observant. You don't miss a thing. You love school and your friends, but you really don't ever want to leave my side. You are my big helper and you always want me to "pay" (play) with you. I enjoy every second we are together, even the challenging ones, because I am secretly proud of your independence and determination ;) You are such a good girl and I love you with every part of my heart.

Love you,

Mommy

Little Peanut,

Daddy loves you so much and is so proud of you. You mean the world to him. I love seeing his face light up when you run out the door to greet him when he gets home. It is fun to watch the two of you together. Daddy likes to challenge you and make you work hard. You never disappoint! You are the greatest thing that ever happened to us!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mols!

We waited till today to give Molly her presents. We got her a sand table, a Barbie pool along with a Ken doll, Buzz Lightyear and a Hula Hoop. She seemed to like everything. She was very worn out today after her big weekend. We just took it easy and let her play with all her new toys. She had a great day and a fantastic weekend!

Party at the Little Gym!

Happy Birthday, Molly! She loved being in the center of the parachute!

She had so much fun!

The kids enjoyed the free time playing on the equipment!

Just hanging around with her best bud!

I think all the kids had a great time!

Daddy was having a good time, too!

They had planned activities along with free time.

Parachutes are always fun!

Everyone went inside the parachute and they sang "Happy Birthday" to Mols

Super Girl!

I can fly!

The kids all took their turns!

It was a big hit!

Gigi doesn't look real sure about it!

Go Jackson!

The kids did a great job taking turns!

The famous Cars cake! Molly was most excited about the cake. She couldn't wait for the lady to give her her piece. She asked about 4 times! Give that child her cake!!!!

It was so great that everyone we invited was able to make it. We so love our friends and enjoy the fact that all the kids are close in age. We even got a compliment that this was the most well behaved group ever! Of course!

She finally got her cake!

Balloons for everyone!

What a great group!

We would have had to give up time in the gym to open presents. So, we waited till we got home. Molly got so many great things! She doesn't know where to start!

Gigi was such a good girl, helping Molly with her presents!

Poor thing was soooo tired after the party, she could barely open her presents!

We let the kids make their own snack mix on Saturday night.

They loved it!

Molly, Gigi and Addi had a blast together! They are such good friends. It makes me so happy to see how much they love each other.

My sweet birthday girl! She had such a great party! Thank you to Mimi, Grandma, the Gambrel's, The Berning's, The Bryant's and The Judy's for making Molly's party a success!!!! We love you all!
