Circus!

Today I got to take the kids to the circus through Molly's preschool. It is a family owned circus that the Church brings in for an outreach to the community. It was our first circus, and they loved it. It was almost a 2 hour show and Molly and Annie didn't move from their sets! Owen fell asleep half way through. We had a great time! It was fun watching the show through my girls eyes. They were amazed by everything. Oh I'm so thankful for days like today!

Last soccer game of the season

Molly had a great game last night. She got her trophy, and is very proud of it. It was fun to see her really improve this season. Way to go Mol! In the fall we will have two soccer players to cheer for!!

Little Cooks

I thought the girls looked too cute today in these little chef outfits. My mom gave them to Josh and I a few years ago and the girls love to dress up in them. Thanks Buppy!

Soccer Girl

Update on Molly's Soccer season:
Molly scored 3 goals last night at her soccer game!!! All in the right goal!!! Yea, Molly! We are so proud of you for your goals, for working hard, but for most of all having fun out there! Tomorrow night is her last game.

Children's Museum

Mindy and I took the kids to the children's museum yesterday. Noah is very into trains so it was fun getting to show him the train part of the museum. We had a great time!

Bounce U Birthday Party for the girls

We had a joint birthday party for the girls on Sunday afternoon. There were about 25kids there plus parents. Lots of people, LOTS of fun. The girls had the time of their little lives. After having big parties at our house the past years it was nice to do it somewhere else. All we had to do was bring the cake, it was nice and easy. Thank you for all that could come and we missed those that couldn't.

Our 5 and 3 year old

I just took this before church on Sunday. I love matching my girls. Josh thinks I am crazy... but I don't care! =)

Mindy & Noah

Mindy and I go back to our days in Germany at BFA. God knew I needed her in my life as one of my bosom friends. We were very reluctant to be roommates at first but after our first weekend together, we were best of friends! (Thank you Sam and Jane) I cannot imagine my life without Min. Thank you for your friendship, for crying and laughing with me, listening to me go on and on about stuff that probably isn't that important, for coming to my girls birthday week and on and on.... I LOVE YOU!

Happy 5th Birthday Molly Renee!

It is hard to believe that Molly Moo is 5 years old. It has gone by so fast. She is an amazing little girl. Her caring spirit, full of life, and love for her friends and family is evident every day. We are so gratful for her and what she brings to our family. Molly we love you very much and are so thankful for you. You might be getting big but you will always be our little Molly!

Molly's Birthday Date with Daddy

Molly got to go on her date with Josh. She loved her pancakes and bacon! They had a wonderful time. Doesn't she look big in her daddy's arms.

Presents!

Molly loved opening her gifts. She was sweet and let Anne help her. I feel like our house is Toys R Us after two birthdays!

The girls Little House

Josh and I got birthday money for the girls so we put it together and bought them this fun play house! I cleared out some space in the yard for their outdoor toys, and they are loving it! Thanks PawPaw, MiMi, Grandpa Jim, Grandma Bev, Popeye and Nana for the play house.

The King

Molly got to pick where we ate lunch so she picked "The King" aka Buger King. They gave the kids crowns.

Butterfly Birthday Cake

Molly asked for a butterfly cake so, I got to make one for her! It has been fun getting to be creative for these fun cakes. It was weird to put five candles on her cake. I cannot believe that my girl is 5!

Happy 3rd Birthday Anne Claire!

It is hard to believe that our Annie is 3. Wow time really does go by fast. Lately the girls have been wanting to hear stories of when they were little. Today they asked me to tell the story of Annie being born. It was so much fun thinking about that wonderful day. She has brought so much joy and laughter to our home. Annie we love you. It has been a joy watching you grow so far and we look forward to many more birthdays with you.

Morning Date with Daddy

Josh has a tradition of taking each kid on their birthday out for breakfast. Annie had a great time with her daddy this morning. I asked her what her favorite part of her breakfast was and she said "hot chocolate"! I love my chocolate girl.

Science Center

Annie got to pick what we did today and she wanted to go see the animals at the science center. We had a great time.

Presents

Anne had a GREAT time opening her gifts. If Josh and I had known how excited she would get over every present we would have bought more. She is very animated. =) Love it!
