Molly’s “Tangled” 3rd Birthday!

We had a “Tangled” birthday party by request of Molly.  She had 9 little girls over to watch Tangled while their parents went on a date.  It was a blast!  Everyone arrived around 4 and picked out their choice of dress up.  Then they all got hand crafted (by Katie) Tangled hair, braided with a rose and ribbon hair pretty.  Then they did some dancing before we all sat down for Molly’s favorite meal – mac n’ cheese and grapes!  After that we snuggled up for the movie, with popcorn and M&M’s of course.  About halfway through the movie we paused to have cake.  Molly was so shy knowing everyone was singing for her, she felt so special.  After cake we all went outside and held hands in a circle and said “happy birthday Molly” and Molly let go 3 gold balloons with LED lights in them (like they do in the movie) it was AWESOME!  The girls all loved it and we stood out there and watched them until we couldn’t see them anymore.  Then it was in to finish the movie.  What a fun time and so wonderful to see Molly enjoy her party.  Here are some fun pictures from the night.

This is where one of the girls said “this is the best party EVER!'”  I think it was the mac n’ cheese that swayed them Smile

We made lanterns and put them all around the family room so it would be like we were in the movie.

Reese is 9 Months!!!

Well our little sweet one is 9 months old already! She is such a joy and growing soooo well. We went for her check up and she was 16 lbs 1 oz!!! I couldn’t believe it and was so thankful for answered prayer in her gaining weight. She’s almost sitting up by herself and we’re working on getting her used to the crawling, but I think we have awhile for that. Here are her 9 month pictures – it was her first time in the swing out back, she LOVED it! Also, I put in her 8 month picture since I’ve been behind on posting things. Enjoy!

Disneyland 2012!

Well, it’s been about 3 months since I’ve done a blog post because life has been crazy and my computer was sooooooooooo slow, but now . . .  I got a NEW computer with all these fun tools to help me with picture stuff!  We are all doing well at our new home, it’s craziness as usual but we love all the fun.  Molly is coming up on her 3rd birthday, Reese is going to be 9 months and John and I are well let’s face it we’re tired (haha).  We recently went to Disneyland with John’s family.  It was so great to see the kids enjoy the magic of Disneyland.  Here are a few pictures from that day, hope you all enjoy and there will be more to come!
