Taking after her Daddy

Molly is so grabby and can get to anything if we aren't careful. She can't suck on a staw yet, so she just chews on it. It's pretty cute.

My big sister

  I got to go see Little Women last week with my sister Paula. It was so fun for many reasons. Molly has been teething and has been miserable the last little while. I needed a break and Brady was so good to give up his ticket to the play, a huge sacrifice since Brady loves musicals. The play was really fun. I didn't know I would enjoy it so much. The theatre was filled with two huge bus loads of high school students. Obviously the drama club. Paula and I got a kick out of watching the boys especially. I think every boy on the front row was sobbing through the sad parts of the play. Not that I think anything is wrong with crying, but they seriously had no control at all. The girls weren't even crying as hard. They were seriously shaking and sniffling, the whole works. I felt really insensitive as Paula and I were trying to contain our laughter.

 I was planning on posting this last week, but while waiting for my picture to upload I checked out Paula's blog. She hasn't blogged in weeks, but when she decides to blog again she can only make fun of my near death experience. I almost didn't post this, but I couldn't let my precious time go to waste. ;)

 Anyway...back to Paula. We went tubing down the provo river a couple weeks ago and I ended up "falling" in the freezing water. They had said to stay away from the sides and as I was about to run into a tree I freaked out and ended up in the water. It was at one of the faster parts of the river and I could not get back on my tube. I seriously thought I was going to die. Paula tried to slow down as much as she could to encourage me that I would be okay. After finally getting back on the tube I was ready to be done and we still had more than an hour left. Paula was there to get me through it. It reminded me of how great she has always been to me. As young girls we used to share a bed and when I felt scared I would ask Paula to put her arm around me and she would. She would always share her chips with me which Paula considers to be one of the 5 food groups. She has always looked out for me and I feel so lucky to have her as a big sister.

Our Little Sparkler

We spent the Fourth of July in Park City with Marsha's family.  We were wondering if she would like the fireworks, but we didn't get to find out.  About five minutes before they started Molly started getting fussy, so we don't know if she was crying because she was tired or because the fireworks were loud.  

Also, if you look really closely you can see Molly's little tooth.
