So many things happen in 1 month!

Well, it has been a bit since we last blogged and so many fun things have been going on . . . we've been working on Johnny's garage - he drywalled the ceilings and we've painted the walls and floor; Katie's dad & Terri came out to visit; we went to Katie's friend's wedding from her days at Bank of the West - it was on a yacht; we went to visit John's family up North - Molly's first car trip; Katie's cousins Bob & Christy came to meet Molly and visit with us; AND Molly has turned FOUR months, learned to roll over, had her first cold :( learned to jump in her "johnny jumper", gone swimming, sat in her "Bumbo" for the first time, found her feet and has just today found it VERY interesting when Daddy eats his dinner! She's a busy one and we love watching her learn! Here are some pics over the last month!

While we were up North, we got to visit with some of our good friends Ryan & Tracy (and Ryan's parents). It was so good to see them! Molly looks so little in Uncle Ryan's hands :)
Bob & Christy (Katie's cousins) came to meet Molly for the first time. Molly's 4 month picture! She's so sweet! A little dip in the pool!
We love this thing and so does Molly! She thought it was pretty fun! Mommy & her Munchkin :)Found her feet . . .then learned to roll over!
Molly with the neighbor's boys. This was her first time in the "Bumbo" seat. We were working on the garage and put her on the washer while it was going - she loved it! Eyeing Daddy's food . . . we'll see where that leads soon I'm sure :)

Visitors for Molly

Last weekend was a blast! We had John's sister, Kim and her husband, John visit. Before they got here we had our realtor, Eddy and our good friend Jenn stop by! It was a busy day, but we LOVED seeing everyone.
It was a great weekend with our family! We so loved getting so spend so good quality time together and they loved getting to see us, well Molly that is. :) I'm pretty sure John's sister didn't put Molly down the whole time! Here are some pictures from the weekend.

2 Months old & Easter all in the same day!

Over Easter, we were able to go and visit Katie's family in AZ. We decided to make the trip now so that Molly could meet her Great Great Grandma Jo! It was a wonderful trip. Molly did GREAT on the airplane (like a champ) and it was so nice getting to watch everyone enjoy her. Molly makes the 5th generation on that side of the family, so we took lots of pics to document the special occasion. Molly also turned 2 months! She is really becoming her own little person. She is able to make eye contact and can see her toys, which she loves to play with and she is talking and finding her hands. It is so amazing to watch her figure things out!


On the airplane for the first time. John carried her in the Baby Bjorn and it worked out great!Papa & Gammie lovin' on their granddaughter. Molly's first Easter Bunny picture. She did good, but the bunny was kinda scary :)Molly's "Easter Bathtub" from Papa & Gammie.I (katie) LOVE this picture!Family pic :)Great Great Grandma Jo and Molly - so special.Five generations: Great Great Grandma Jo, Grandma Nelle (who Molly was named after), Papa (katie's dad), Katie & Molly Janelle.Five generations of hands - thought this was a fun idea (thanks Aunt Margaret)Playing with her Cow, which she LOVES!
