Molly Smiles

Little miss MOLLY is all about Smiles and making noises.

Updates

We have had some fun things happen at our home this month....

Ella Jane turned 2... She got a new big girl bed from us and she really likes it. I think this is mostly because she can get in and out of her bed now all by herself. My first thought of this happening was- she is is not going to sleep-but I have been pleasantly suprised. She has gotten me a few times in the middle of the night with a blanket in one hand and an animal of some sort in the other and says "mommy you lay with me"...oh how sweet!

Time passes so quickly. Molly is now 3 months and growing every minute! She smiles and makes noises...which Ella really likes. We are all happy and healthy.

The UTES won!! Maybe there will be a fun bowl game to go to who knows?? :)

Thanksgiving and all the trimmings are deLiCiouS to the tast and I get to make home made PUMPKIN PIES this year for the big day! YUMMY my favorite!

Ella & Clark Cousins

What a fun time we had while Ella's cousins visted from out of town. Ella enjoys playing with them...we wish they were closer!

Pretty darn cute bunch I have to say! We have little Emerson, Ella, Travis, Thomas and Molly.

Halloween 2008

Here we have the Count Dracula (Emerson) Cookie Monster (Thomas) Elmo (Ella Jane) and Superman (Travis). Ella Jane was so excited to have her cousins in town to go "trick or treating" with this year. She really got into the candy thing. She would say..."trick or treat smell my feet, give me something good to eat." Rather funny I thought until she said it at every door we knocked on...he he! Her most favorite candy is the sucker...hands down! She also likes m&m's and smarties. Spencer of course is happy with all the chocolate he can enjoy!

Wheeler Farm

Ella got to pick out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch... She kept picking the green ones!We climbed up into the tree house and Ella could have played in there for hours!

One of the favorite animals of the day were the baby pigs. Ella will tell you they got her "dirty."

Here is the bunch! I remember life as a child going to Wheeler Farm. I enjoyed petting all the animals and feeding them and playing in the tree house. I remember the smell of the cows and how much I disliked that. What a fun thing to go and take Ella to a place I remember so well as a kid. This was a fun memory making experience for all of us. We missed you Spencer....

IDAHO

Ella got to draw a picture with this really cool pen wheel...here she is proud as can be about her magnificant piece of art work!

So my Mom, myself, Ella and Molly took a little road trip up to Boise Idaho to visit my sister Julie and her husband Clint 2 weeks ago. They just bought a new house and we were lucky to stay with them and see their new place. While we were there we went to the Discovery Center in Boise and had a good time....say cheese!

GrOwiNg and GrOwiNg

It has been a good 8 weeks now and Molly is growning by the inch! She no longer fits into her newborn outfits. I can't believe how quickly the days pass with not enough time to actually sit down and look at her tiny fingers and toes. Life as a MoM is great and Ella Jane loves having her "sissy" around.

BIG Red Engine

Once a week I take Ella Jane (& Molly) over to the Library for a pre-school story-time afternoon. She really likes this for the following reasons:
1. She loves books
2. She likes to play with other children
3. She likes to pick out her bag of books to check out & take home

Last week was fire safety week so the children learned about fire trucks and firemen. They had the city fire dept bring a truck for the children to look at and get inside of....Ella liked it but wasn't sure she wanted to get in. This was really fun!

"FUN"tastic

Ella and I decided to make sock puppets on Monday. We needed to do something fun and while I was sorting laundry last week I thought to myself..."I really need some new socks" So...I put the old ones to good use.
Ella chose to paint her sock puppet yellow and pink. She picked out the buttons for the face and even wanted her puppet to have a bow in her hair...check it out!
We can only go outside to ride her bike or play at the park for a select few days in October...then its inside we go!

Help! Any moms or creative persons out there...I could use some other fun activity ideas.

California Boys

So I was looking thru pictures on our computer and found this one of Spencer with his friends Colby and Tyler. They went on a trip to California 5 years ago and had a good time apparently taking pictures of themselves...and their big muscles...they are pretty ripped!
