Molly's December Recital

Just Like His Big Brother

Henry loves his big brother! Reed is so good to him. They run all around and wrestle. Sometimes things get a little rough, but no love is lost. 

The Nativity

There is something so special about the way kids set up the nativity. They get what it's all about.

Our little blondie

Such a big helper

T-Ball

Reed was quite the little hitter. We had so much fun watching him. There was a lot of playing in the dirt, but whenever Reed was running the bases he was really focused. 

Molly's Dance Recital

Molly's 1st grade teacher, Miss Felsted came to see her perform.

Molly loves dance. She is taking jazz and is getting really good at the splits.

Cuddles

Baby Henry got lots of cuddles! My face pretty much shows how I felt about it. I don't like to be touched while pregnant. 

Ready for church!

I asked Reed to get ready for Church and this is what he came up with.

Grandma made Molly's nightgown.

Ears pierced!

Molly decided that she wanted to get her ears pierced for her 6th birthday, so that's what we did. She seemed a little nervous, but didn't even flinch when it happened. If only she'd act the same way pulling teeth!

Sweet Reed

We spent many days like this while I was pregnant. I was lucky to have such a sweet boy to take care of me. 

Reed's first day of preschool

Reed took a little while getting comfortable with preschool, but he eventually really liked it. Miss Valerie said he was the best singer in the class. 

Molly's first day of kindergarten

This poor girl fell and hurt her mouth so badly a few days before school started. She's a tough girl, but she was pretty miserable for a couple of weeks. Mrs. Stephens was her teacher and Molly loved school so much. She was sad whenever there was a break. 

Lemonade anyone?

Molly has been determined to have a lemonade stand. She had lots of ideas. She was so excited about every last detail. She poured the lemonade herself and was so proud when people stopped. Reed "helped" too! How could you not want to buy lemonade from these two?!

One Year

 I can't believe it has been a year since we moved from our first little home. This picture makes me miss it so much! We had so many great memories there and met so many great friends. We weren't planning on moving, but we were always looking at houses. It was just something we did. One day I got a really strong feeling that it was time to move and it was time NOW! We were so sad. We had grown to love our neighbors and ward so much. We were really comfortable and the unknown is always scary. We got our house ready to put on the market right away. We figured that if we were going to do this, we should just get it over with. We found our new house the same weekend we put our house up for sale and we sold our house that Monday. It really worked out perfectly for us and really helped us feel good about our decision. It didn't hurt that we were close to the mountains and had more space to move around in. We moved to the area I grew up in and in a way it felt like I was coming home. Molly will go to kindergarten at the same school I went to and it has been nice to establish friendships with the kids she'll be going to school with. It really was perfect timing for us and I'm just so grateful for the guidance we received from our Heavenly Father.

The yard is one of our favorite things about our new house. The backyard is completely shaded in the summer. The fall was not as awesome with all the leaves, but we survived. The weeds at our old house were impossible to get under control and I don't miss that at all! At least leaves can be raked up!
