Molly 2months old

She is growing up so fast.  I don't want to even schedule her two month old check up because I am in denial.  Molly has quite the personality.  She smiles a ton and is cooing lots.  She is a very happy and easy going baby so far.

First day of Preschool 2012

Ella had her first day of preschool today.  Actually parents got to come the first day and class was only an hour so her first day going alone will be on Friday.  Her teacher seemed really nice.  The only bad part is that there classes mascot is Solomon the Owl.  Ella hates owls.  They sang this song with the mascot today and the teacher told the kids if they wanted to put on these owl visors they could.  Most kids did but NOT Ella!  She just turned to me and made this horrible face.  After class I told the teacher that Ella doesn't really care for owls  but I would work on changing her mind.  I'll keep you posted.

 

 Yes, her backpack is as big as she is.

My girls!

 Ella loves to snuggle Molly!

 Molly - trying to catch her smiling.

 

One out of three smiling isn't bad, at least they are all looking into the camera.

Spokane

We had the best time in Spokane this summer.  My parents took really good care of us.  I didn't have to cook, clean, or do laundry for an entire week.  I almost forgot how to do everything once I got back home. 

We filled our days doing all sorts of fun activities.  The girls swam a ton sometimes twice a day.  One night Papa took the girls on a night swim.  They thought that was the coolest thing ever.  We had some friends come and visit one of the days.  I used to work with her at my old dental office, her daughter Cadence is Ella's age so we used to have playdates with them in Olympia. The girls had a good time getting to see each other again.  We visited Great Grandma and Grandpa Choo, choo.  We call them that because my Grandpa had a huge room with a full train layout.  The girls love to go downstairs with him and help run the trains.  It is something I did when I was little so it brings back a lot of memories when I get to watch my girls do it too. We ended the trip with Jake flying over to pick us up so we could drive home together.  It was a nice way to end the week. 

 

 

 

Ella and Cadence making silly faces.  Ashley couldn't get them to smile nice so we told them to just be silly.

Getting ready for a little night swimming.

Ella being a good big sister.
