Birthday Party

Here are some pictures from Mikayla's birthday party. Matthew had a great time and was right out there playing with the kids. In fact he did so well he has two more birthday parties to go to, we can't wait to see how he is with more kids.

Notice the placement of the olive. Luckily he has no idea what he is doing.

Aunt Renee and Uncle Bobby got olives especially for Matthew.

Funny Shots

We went to a craft fair recently and we gave Matthew some money to buy something. Well he picked out these wooden Easter decorations and this is how he decorated his room with them. He was quite proud to have his own money to buy something. So he is saving up all his change now and when we go to Minnesota after Easter he gets to cash it in so he can have some of his own money for the Mall. This is good because there is a huge Lego store there.

Just being silly

Matthew in the treasure chest. He said there was no gold in it.

Molly was so excited someone finally made her chicken, too bad it was plastic.

I got out of the shower and this was how they were sleeping. Matthew loves to cuddle so he must have done it in his sleep.

When he woke up he said, "Mommy my arm is stuck under Molly, can you help me I don't want to wake her up."

Mom, don't I have to wear a jacket?

The kids were both excited about the warm weather. They don't like to be cooped up in winter clothes. When we went to leave Matthew asked me why he didn't have a jacket on?

Summer time Pjs

No sleeper, big girl pjs with pants and a shirt

This is how he looked when he fell asleep on the couch.

Rocking a hat, to keep that fair skin away from the sun.

Wow grass!

I wonder if I can eat this?

M0lly hates socks so she loves the freedom her toes had.

Moving on Up

We had some big changes this past Sunday the kids each moved up to a new car seat. Matthew is a big boy now so he now needs a booster seat. The booster seat uses the real car seat belt so he feels like quite a big shot. Molly then took over Matthew's old car seat. She seemed to think of it as a little bigger I think.

I guess she's comfortable.

When you get out of the baby carrier car seat that means you have to be a big girl in the stroller too.

She seemed to love it.

I get a cup holder and snack tray! Now if only I could have a cup and snacks.

Molly at 7 Months

Our little Molly is seven months already. She isn't crawling just yet but she is trying. She puts her face into the carpet, her butt up into the air, and kind of pushes herself forward. Once she is finally on the move I think we'll be in big trouble. Matthew loves his little sister very much and is so sweet with her, I'm curious to see how he does when she can move and get his toys. She enjoys blowing raspberries and grabbing your face (which is quite painful). No weight and height this month Molly doesn't go back to the doctor again until 9 months.

Matthew's 1st Time Bowling

We had a big group of family fun this past Sunday for Matthew's first time bowling. He was telling Grant and I how you bowl before we even got there. He didn't even want to wait for everyone to get to the bowling alley before he was ready to start. He had a blast. There was a few casualties. He fell a few times, took off down to other lanes (where he also managed to somehow lose his shoes), hit himself in his ear with his ball (or so Bo bo says, we are still unsure who actually caused that casualty, and wiped out on the lane a few times. Luckily though no running down the lane beyond that first time. Thank you all for coming and Matthew loved that he got to bowl with each and every one of you.

He loves his shoes and didn't want to give them back.
