Zoo Trip

Michael & I took 5 kids with us to the Zoo last week with Molly's preschool class. It was such a good time. The kids had sooooo much fun. We got to get a pictue of the four of us while we were there. This tends not happen alot since I am the one always taking the pictures.


Molly loved the dinos. She thought that they were really cool. They had been studying them at school the past couple of weeks.


Hailey Sue & Molly!! Two peas in a pod here!!

Daddy with Molly!

This is Asher, Cooper & Molly.


Here is the two silly girls again!!



Carly Beth with Daddy!!



Cooper & Molly...I've watched Cooper for three years now & these two have become real close.



Molly with Jennifer. This is the mom of a girl I babysit. I've know here for years & was so glad that she went with us too. My girls love her!!



Carly trying to stay dry while we were there. The ponchos were such a big hit!!



At the end of the day we had five very sleepy kids. Before we even got on the interstate all of them were out!

First Fishing Trip of the Year

We went fishing for the first time this year at the park. I know it wasn't a big trip but the girls had a blast!! We didn't catch anything big. They were all babies but the kids didn't care & at least they were able to pull the fish in.


Molly with her fish!! She was too busy watching what was going on around her that she kept missing when the fish would bite. Mom did most of the fishing for her.

Carly was very excited to go fishing & she was talking to the fish in the water and even when she caught one & started to bring it in she was happy. But when she saw it the silly girl didn't want anything to do with it. I couldn't even get a picture of her holding her pole. She is sooo funny!!

SWEET!!!

I love this picture of Carly Beth!!! She cracks me up so much with some of the facial expressions she makes that when she feel asleep like this I couldn't help to take her picture.

Molly's 1st Soccer Game

This was soooo cute!! To sit and watch these little kids trying to get the ball in the goal (which yes, sometime it would be the wrong side) was so funny! Molly did pretty good. She was excited to get to play in the game. There was times where she was getting pretty tired and was over it. This was also the first that Michael got to see her play & he loved it too!!

Molly's 5th Birthday

So my big girl is now 5! She is so excited about it now because she says that she is now a whole hand full!! We had such a goodtime!! It was a Pink Poodle party with pizza & a slumber party at the end. This was her first sleepover at her house!

Tumbling Carly

So today I got to take Carly to tumbling for the first time. This is something her & her daddy does together normaly but he couldn't go today. This was the cuttiest thing I've ever seen!! She was so cute & so good!! (not that I'm the mom & I have to say that) I couldn't get over how she is such a different child. She is normaly such a shy kid & doesn't open up that much to change but she DID!! It was so nice to hear all the good things that Miss. Chris (her teacher) had to say about her & how she is doing so good at tumbling. This is someting that I plan on making sure I keep her into & I have to go more often to see this wonderful thing!!

Spongebob Gingerbread House

This was so much fun!! One of the families that I babysit for brought us this gingerbread house today. I've made alot of gingerbread houses over the years with all the different kids in my life. I love making them. But I've never made a Spongebob one. So here is a picture of what it is supost to be from the box.

Here is Molly putting the layers together...again this isn't how I'm use to putting a gingerhouse together. This is so neat!

Even little Carly got into it!! How cute is this?

Then they went to town putting all the goodies on. Everyone just loved it!!


Even Michael got into it!!

Ok-it doesn't look much like the picture on the box but I think it is cute & I'm very proud of all the little hands that did it....even Michaels!

WOW! What a Sunday!!

We did so much yestureday!! First we went to church where Molly was in her very first Christmas program. It was so cute. We have been practicing for weeks. She did so good.
Then after we were done there we went to Bass Pro to go see Santa. We had a great time the. The girls had so much fun even though Carly didn't want much to do with him. She wouldn't sit on his lap but im sure most of you aren't surprized by that.



And I couldn't help to take a picture of this....can we say "OUT!"

Molly's Preschool Party

Molly had her preschool party at preschool on Friday. She had so much fun!! Santa came & saw them & they got to make a bunch of Christmas things. They also had a gift exchange. She took a gift for her teacher & when she was leaving she told me,
"Mom don't worry, if Miss. Jennifer doesn't like it I'll bring it back." She crackes me up.

Christmas Pictures

We took these pictures in front of the Christmas tree & was extreamly happy that the girls were so photogentic!! Carly was eatting up the camra & Molly hasn't ever been shy about taking her picture. I was very happy with our results!!
