last week my good friend nicole & i added to our holiday traditions of taking the kids to do fun holiday stuff and went to Agua Linda Farms for a picnic, face paint, hay ride, jumping castle, petting zoo, pony rides and an Easter egg hunt...it was hours of fun!  the kids loved it and i always enjoy it up there!

miss moo is obsessed with horses right now and getting to ride a real one was a dream come true...she took it very seriously

connor of course loved riding the horse he loves *aminals so much!

the egg hunt was fun to watch, miss moo wasn't too sure what to do {this was our 2nd one} but luckily connor understood and found enough eggs for the both of them.

this is cash's new sister chloe, she was such a doll.  my kids loved seeing her!

we had an awesome afternoon out there! 

i will defenately take the kids again next year...what a fun way to celebrate spring time and the Easter holiday!  

*thanks nicole, cash and chloe for going with us!

my name is molly b and it has been 11 days since my last binkie...

this girl is off the bink and life is good!

she had officially misplaced every last binkie and at bedtime had to face the tough reality that she was on her own...

but she did so awesome!

i explained to her that binkie was gone and that if she could go to bed without it she would get a toy that she wanted

"a pink mermaid?" 

and she didn't ask about it for several days and when i told her it was gone she just said "oh yeah"

big girl with her pink mermaid!

miss moo

this sweet girl finally had her 2 year well check a few weeks ago...

she is a teeny tiny 26 pounds and exactly 3 feet tall

miss moo is so much fun right now...

yes she still has a binkie but if you saw how happy it makes her - she hugs them and frankly they keep her quiet sometimes :)

she nicknames everything to have a "ie" or "y" on the end 

milky

blankie

grapies 

she is great at bedtime

she loves her big girl bed and there are very few nights i have to put her back in her room

she loves books, Dora (still) and she is very particular on what she wears (already)

as you can see in the pic below with her yellow shirt, purple pants, blue hat with pink flower and black books 

she's also wearing make-up

she is so dang sweet sometimes it kills us

she's still a mommas girl but loves her daddy

she has recently taken in interest in dancing and does a lovely twirl with a back kick at the end (this is daddy's favorite!)

she still loves princess movies and dress up but lately her favorite movies are 

"the iron giant" 

and 

"rio"

she can even quote both movies

(this makes me so proud)

we love our sweet miss moo and everyday she makes us laugh everyday with her outfits, her jokes, dances and songs

everyday is a blessing to have her

painting with papa

the kids and i went by my parent's a few weeks ago while all the other kids were in school

we found molly on the table outside getting into the paints

my dad sat outside and painted with them and the kids had a so much fun with their papa!

they made all sorts of creations

and papa painted things on request:

cars, dinosaurs, people...

we made a mess and ate snacks, everything you do when you go to grandpa's house :)

it was a sweet afternoon with papa and i know my dad loved every minute of it!

\

there isn't much to say about this...

except this girl doesn't stop!

not even a little potty training will keep her from her phone calls

(she's going to kill me for this one day :)

molly is always making us laugh

she does peculiar things like eat AND sleep with her sunglasses on

we couldn't live without this little entertainment 

she is so sweet too

we just love her

what do you do when you want to eat mommy's cookie

AND

play with your booster seat at the same time?

 well...

 tough decision...

try doing both at the same time

don't worry, i'm not one of those mom's who would give my kids cookies for breakfast (wink wink)...

just one who would leave my kids in their jammies all day long :)

a girls best friend...

molly has gotten very attached to her booster seat!  

she drags it all over and even likes it in her bed sometimes

she loves the seat belt on it and gets so mad when she can't click it together

and then when you help her she gets mad she can't get it undone.  

she also loves the wagon for the same reason

she was screaming outside and as i found her stuck belted in the wagon seat

she has such focus when she tries to get the belt together

this is her frustrated face...she will scream and get so upset

when she can't get her seat where she wants it and will repeat over and over "help me"

she has daddy help her to get the belt open and closed
