molly loves her big brother if you can't tell in this video

she is always trying to find him and smiles when she sees him

he likes her too but not on the same level

he mostly points to her bed and tells me to put her back

he's done this before, made her giggle and that day i kept asking him to play with her and he finally went over to her

i was so glad i had my phone right there it cracked us up!

i've had to spend a little more time at my office then was originally planned

and connor has been my little assistant

he writes on the white board (and the wall) for me and loves to talk on the phone

he watches movies and colors pictures for me

he didn't like it there at first...

everytime we pull into the parking lot he says "go, go now"

(he says that when we pull into the parking lot of church too)

but as soon as we get inside he sits down and gets to work

(i will put up more pictures of him there)

last saturday james went to pheonix for the day...

i was downstairs with connor after he left and he came walking through the front door with a little brown chihuahua in his hands that looked just like our dog Beans

for a minute i was so confused and after i did a head count he explained that he was headed for the freeway and saw this little doggie on the side of the road shaking

he couldn't just leave it so he brought it home and left it with me for the day

this dog made himself at home right away

he jumped up on the couch and lounged around like he owned the place

he got along with max so well and even slept in their kennel

for a {lightening} quick moment i almost considered keeping the dog!

{having more dogs then kids...not ok}

thank goodness we found him a good home at uncle jeff's house

we can still visit :)

molly really likes her jumperoo and it's so cute

she is very active and is always kicking, rolling and wiggling around

she is also very vocal she has lots to say sometimes

molly's been working on this thumb since she was newborn

and on christmas day

she finally got it

molly's first christmas

we had a wonderful christmas!

we spent christmas eve with my family

and christmas day we spent at home with both of our families
it was great to be surrounded by so many people

christmas morning was so fun with connor
his face when he saw what santa had left was priceless

the shock and amazement

our morning was filled with lots of "wow", followed by "help me"

he wanted everying he saw to be opened immediately so he could play with it

thanks to our families and friends who spoiled us this christmas

connor's new wheels

this was the "help me" face

moo moo and great grandma snow

molly could hardly stay awake on christmas eve

such a pretty christmas dress

merry christmas

love,

the boyle family

james, nichol, connor & molly

love
my babies

have you ever had one of those nights when you think did that seriously just happen??

we had one tonight...

it started when connor smeared ketchup all over the couch

james then sat in the ketchup getting it all over his clothes

me being the helpful wife and mother i am i quickly got his clothes into the

washer in order to avoid any stains

ooops! almost washed james' wallet, yes, caught it

{feeling on top of things at this point}

a few minutes later

james: "hey where did you put my cell phone?"

me: "where was it?"

me: running to the laundry room as it dawns on me

OF COURSE HIS PHONE IS IN HIS POCKET IN THE WASHER!

{he took it better then i thought he would}

this is doubly crushing because i dunked my cell phone into a glass of water just 2 weeks ago

following this i spent the next 30 minutes and $130 on the phone with the insurance co to get him a new one sent out since it is his work phone

spent the next little while after that looking for a phone for him to use in the mean time

couldn't find the phone but i did find my camera charger i've been missing for almost a year!

silver lining

tarnished when james said "that's funny i just ordered one for you for christmas"

oh well

then it dawns on me that we ordered our pizza over an hour ago and we are starving

call the pizza place, at least we got dinner for free

silver lining

finally get connor down after cleaning up his diaper rash {again} and reading 6 books, singing 3 songs and having a snack

we stood over the counter and ate our cold pizza

hoping the chaos is over...

then we blow a breaker on one side of the house and who knows what the couch looks like, i forgot to look

we were laughing by this point as we were on the side of the house trying to figure out what switch to hit

finally sat down, shut the lights out to relax and load my missing pictures from the last year!
