Girly girl...

I've never really thought of Molly as a girly girl - she's always loved her books more than her bracelets, dolls and purse.  Being the book lovers that we are, this is something that we've encouraged.  The other day Molly shuffled over to me in my sparkly sandals that she'd found in the closet.  The next day she asked me to put Mrs. Potato Head's earring on and at nursery I spied her cuddling with a doll.  She still carries her blankie and a book almost everywhere she goes, but even book lovers like to dress up and have a girls day every now and again!

Cupcake Craze...

One of Molly's favorite books is "If you Give a Cat a Cupcake".  She excitedly sang out "cupcake" and pointed at the cupcakes I'd baked while she was napping on Sunday.  I think she enjoyed putting sprinkles on the cupcakes just as much as eating them!

best buddies!

Happy Father's Day!

We love you Daddy!

I made matching aprons for us to wear while we cooked up our Father's Day Feast!  Molly's really into pockets and was so excited that her blankie fit in her apron pocket.

You Gotta Wear Shades

Molly got a new pair of shades this week and she loves them!  She wear her "Classes" inside, outside, and upside down.  There isn't a wrong time or place when your shade are this cool!

I was cracking up when Molly started posing in front of the mirror with my hat and shades.  Too bad about the smudges on the mirror - Molly was giving the mirror kisses as I was cleaning it.

Happy Girl!

What a tease!  As soon as I pulled out the camera Molly started giggling and playing peek-a-boo with her favorite new book - "Party" ( If you give a pig a party).  This picture captures the happy girl that she is; always laughing, dancing and singing.  She runs and hides when it's bedtime and squeals with delight when we chase after her.  What a cutie!

I think we've got a winner!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

I don't know what it is, but for some reason I feel let down if I don't get to go hiking or do something outdoorsy for Memorial Day.  To fulfill this need, we went to a park preserve that has a duck pond and a bunch of walking trails so that we could enjoy nature.  Then it was home for naps (Shane and Molly) before going to the Diamondbacks baseball game.  It really was a perfect day!

 

We had front row seats for duck watching!
