Today as I was putting a darling little sundress over Molly's head she promptly pulled it off.  I tried again with the same result.  After a third failed attempt I said,"But Molly, this dress is so cute and it's one of Mommy's favorites." 

She looked at me with defiance and firmly responded,"No. BYU!" 

I guess my little lady has decided to take an active role in how she dresses.  This was the first time she's wanted a say in her outfit and  there aren't enough tears in the world to show you how sad we both were that her BYU shirt was in the dirty clothes!!!

What can I say...train them while they're young!!!

 Don't you love the crossed ankles?  She thought of that all by herself!

Pillow Project

Seriously, does it get any better than this!

 I started this pillow for Molly the day she was born.  We were waiting at the hospital for Molly's birth and I still needed some embroidery thread.  There was a craft store across the street and since it didn't appear that Molly would make her appearance for several hours we decided to walk over and buy the thread.  20 minutes later as we were walking through the hospital doors we got a phone call from Molly's birth-grandfather saying that we needed to get to the birthing room as quickly as possible.  Miracle of miracles, our sweet baby girl was born within the hour.

I finished the embroidery work before Molly was 2 weeks old and then it sat. And sat, and sat.  And now, just in time for Molly's birthday next month, I'm finished!  Yeah!
Molly is just as excited as I am!

Mac and "CHEESE"...

"Come on guys!  Is now really the best time to be taking my picture?  
I've had a busy day playing at nursery and I want to eat!"
 "Okay, but be quick about it."
 "Time's up!  My macaroni is getting cold."
"Why do I bother... I'll just ignore the camera."  
Lunch is served!
