Happy Birthday Molly!

The cutest little 4 year old I know! I love this girl! She is all about Hello Kitty this year. She is such a big helper. The other night I was doing something downstairs and she asked me if I could get the napkins down for her. I went upstairs and she had been setting the table for dinner. She is such a little sweetheart. She has just turned into a little person and it makes me want her to stop growing!

Opening presents first thing in the morning.

I took a beginning quilting class and started making this quilt 3 years ago. It didn't seem very "beginner" to me, but somehow I got through it. I had finished all the squares during the class, but I hadn't put it together. I finally decided to finish it for Molly's birthday this year. She knew I was giving it to her and even helped me sew. Three years ago she sat on my lap while I sewed and this year she pressed the foot peddle for me.

I had everything done besides the binding two days before her birthday, but I had no clue how to do the binding, so I was beginning to think it wouldn't be done for her birthday. Molly kept telling me that I better work on her quilt so she could have it for her birthday. The night before her birthday she said, "This is my last night sleeping with my flower blanket because I will have my new quilt in the morning." With the help of my mother-in-law and friend Carrie and I can't forget YouTube I was able to finish it!

 Molly had a cat party with some of her friends. She was so excited and continues to thank Heavenly Father for her party in every prayer.

Santa

Reed was less than thrilled to see Santa this year. Molly was able to sit on Santa's lap without me and even almost smiled for the picture. Molly asked for a Hello Kitty piano and cowboy boots (cowgirl boots actually). Reed just wants Santa to stay at the North Pole.

Birthday Parties! This is how we keep our schedule around here. By who's birthday is next. She mentions her birthday at least once a day and has been doing this for at least the last 6 months. It is even mentioned in her prayers.

The Mountains
She loves them! This particular trip ended with us carrying our crying children to the car. They did not want to leave.

Love Them! How could we not?! But, seriously...We want to go back to Mexico!
We were able to go to Cancun with are dear friends Andy and Heidi before they moved to Washington. We left the kids home and seriously had the best time of our lives! It was so beautiful and so relaxing.

Halloween

The pumpkin we carved. Totally forgot to get pictures, but thanks to Molly's hoarding tendencies, we were able to get a picture. We made a deal that we would throw it away as soon as Grandma and Grandpa Larson get here next week and are able to see it.

At the pumpkin patch


Milking the cow. I was amazed she actually did it

My little fairy princess at her preschool halloween program. She would sing the songs she was learning every day and knew all the words. She even actually sang at the program. I didn't know the songs at all so she really just remembered them from school.

I'm pretty sure mine is the only one I need to explain, but Molly is a cute little fairy, Reed a pumpkin, Brady a clown and I was a fish.

Molly's Preschool

Molly's first day of preschool. She loves her preschool. I love her preschool. I used to babysit her teacher's kids so I know she is in good hands.

Howdy Day at preschool. She got to dress up as a cowgirl. We borrowed her little friend's Hello Kitty boots.

As you can see, she really loved the boots. She hasn't stopped talking about them since.

St. George

We went to St. George over Memorial Day weekend. On our way down to St. George they had a little petting zoo near one of the gas stations in Scipio. It was free and super cute. Molly loved feeding the little goats. Both kids actually did really well on the drive there and back. We got to stop in Cedar City to visit grandma Larson and aunt Sue on our way down. That was fun.

There is a reservoir near the house that we walked to several times. The ducks weren't very friendly, but we eventually were able to get them to come close to us. On the last day we were going to go one more time, so when we asked Molly if she wanted to go, she said, "No, I'm sick of feeding the ducks." It was pretty cute.

We went up Snow canyon and had a really fun time. It was a pretty cool day and windy, but it was so beautiful!

That is one proud face! She loved climbing the "mountain."
When we were getting ready to leave St. George, Molly started to cry and said she didn't want to leave. It was pretty cute. It was probably watching movies with grandma and staying up late that she was going to miss the most.

Happy Birthday Reeders!

What a cute boy stuffing his face! He loves cake!

Molly insisted that we get balloons and party hats. It was all her idea. I am totally lame and wasn't planning on any of that. Reed LOVED the balloons! The hats, not so much.

We made a Mickey Mouse cheesecake. Julie rocked the blackberries. It was a bit messy, but really fun.

Reed eating his first Happy Meal! He looks so proud! We sure love this little guy! He is such a sweet boy. He definitely has an attitude and won't do anything if he doesn't want to. He is very friendly with others and loves to perform. We love you Reed!
