Molly at 3

Molly's 3 year old stats are:

41.2 inches 95th percentile
41.4 lbs. 85th percentile

Molly is my quiet and shy one out of the bunch and I'm hoping she will come out of her shell sooner than I did growing up.  She has a funny little personality these days and I'm so thankful that we get to see the loud side of Molly.  She is a girly girl that likes to dress up and put on her jewelry and lipstick (chapstick) but also loves to play in the sandbox with her "Big Bubba."  She is doing great riding her new bike with training wheels and trying so hard to keep up with Layton.  She loves to make Parker laugh in the car and it is so sweet to watch them play together.  She loves to boss him around and most of the time he listens to her or every now and then he will scream at her lol.  They are best buds while Layton is at school and play pretty well together.  You can sit down and have a conversation with Molly now and she asks lots of whys these days.  Molly loves to play with her babies, cook food in her kitchen, loves puzzles, books and loves to swing outside.  She loves to sing and has taught Parker most of the songs they sing at Bible Study.  She is very much attached to me and still has a hard time when I drop her off at church or Bible Study at her class.  She is adjusting to Mother's Day Out and says she likes her new school.

Mollybug,

We have entered a whole new independent stage and now I hear a lot of "I do it by myself Mommy."  I just know you are going to grow up to be such a great Mommy watching the way you take care of your babies by rocking them and feeding them.  You love to help me fold clothes, cook, do dishes or load the washer and dryer.  You are very helpful with Parker and always look out for him.  You get excited when we pick up Layton after school and y'all love to play outside together in the afternoons.  I think you are the athletic one out of the bunch and are very coordinated already and love to throw any kind of ball in the yard.  My prayer for you is that you will develop a relationship with the Lord at an early age and seek God in every step you take in life and remember that Mommy and Daddy love you so much and God loves you even more!  You are a daughter of the King!

Love you to the moon and back,
Mommy

Molly's 3rd Birthday!

I'm so late in posting this but Molly turned 3 January 3rd.  We decided on a girls only road trip to Houston this year instead of a birthday party.  My mom and I took Molly and met up with Amanda, Laura, Charlotte, Lauren and Kyleigh in Houston.  I think she enjoyed it and has been asking when we are going back to Houston constantly.  We stayed with Carter and Laura and cousin Charlotte the first night in the Woodlands and then got a hotel room near the galleria for Saturday night.  It was Molly's first time staying in a hotel and she loved it.  We took all the girl cousins to the American Girl Doll store Houston for some shopping and lunch at the Bistro on Saturday.  Molly had the best birthday she got sang to at all 3 meals that day.  We shopped until we dropped that afternoon and then had a late night dinner at Pappasitos.  Molly was such a trooper and had lots of fun.

New Year's Eve

We had a really low key New Years this year.  Justin and Natalie and the kids came over for chili and beans and we hung out and watched the kids play pool and sing karaoke.  We may have heard the song Let It Go over and over and over.  They left about 10:30 and we put the kids to bed and brought in the new year watching t.v. together :)  Can't wait to see what God has in store for us in 2015!  Happy New Years!

Wrapping up December

Here are a few random photos to wrap up our fun and busy December


We were at the doctor getting Parker's flu shot here and Molly was sad because she wanted one too lol.  She had already gotten the flu mist earlier.

 Here is Molly in the nursery at church after working on one her crafts with one of the sweet teachers.

 More Truth in the Tinsel ornaments the kids made

 Here is our sweet Daisy :)  We had to put her brother and life long buddy and best friend Roscoe to sleep the day before Christmas Eve because he had cancer everywhere.  He started acting sick and not like himself so Clifton took him to the vet.  After some tests and an exploratory surgery Kellie our good friend and vet told us there was nothing that could be done.  It was sad because it happened so suddenly and we didn't really get a chance to say goodbye.  Poor Daisy is so sad and howls constantly and is extremely lonely.  We have been trying to spend lots of time outside with her lately. 

 Molly and her babies, she always has at least one in her arms

 These two fight like crazy and then can't get enough of each other :)

 That is Cooper in the middle he came to visit between Christmas and New Years and the kids loved having him here to play with everyday.

 Went in one afternoon to check on Molly and found her and her baby napping.  Wish she could stay little forever.

Christmas at Grammy D's House

We had Christmas at Grammy D's house a few days later.  We got together for brunch and then opened presents.  The kids had a blast playing with Mason and Morgan.  It was great to visit with Deborah, Leslie and JP too.  Lots of wonderful memories made!

 Molly was so proud of her new Bible from DD.
