6 Months

Our sweet Molly is 6 months old! How is that even possible!? I definitely think that it's gone by faster this time around. She is completely precious and the easiest baby. She's gorgeous too...how can I leave that out?!

I waited quite a while to start food with her, but here she is chowing down on cereal and squash. She's not a big fan yet. Her gag reflex was triggered several times. How can I blame her...it IS disgusting.

Thanks Babe!

One night after Paul had been running some errands, he brought these home to me just because. He's the best!

The Swingset

Thanks to Paul's Mom, we have a new swingset for the girls. It was delivered in three huge, flat boxes. It took Paul 4 hours one night just to unload and organize all of the pieces. I have to say, though, that I'm so thankful for a husband who loves to put things together!

Craziness

It's almost finished! Just a few more things to add. The girls have loved playing on it!

Spring Flowers

Aunt Sandra and Uncle Caleb gave the girls a cool little Easter gift in their treat bag from them...tiny little flower pots with flowers seeds to plant. Here are the girls planting their flowers. Unfortunately, a couple of days after the planted them in the cute, little pots, Sydney the Destroyer dumped them when we were playing outside. We ended up putting what we could salvage into some biggers planters outside. So, at least we'll still get the pretty flowers...just not in the cute, little pots!

Planting the Seeds

So Proud!

Ready To Watch Them Grow

Our Garden

We've never done it before, but we planted container gardens this year. The girls have been really excited about watching the plants grow and, to tell the truth, I've loved watching it happen too! We planted a variety of things and everything is still alive after a couple of months! Woot!

Tomatoes & Green Onions

Okra & Strawberries

Parsley & Sweet Potatoes

We have cucumbers, lettuce, and some flowers too!

Our Easter

I know its been almost two weeks, but I have to share pictures from our Easter. We went to church Saturday night and then went to my parent's house for brunch. The whole family was there...which is always so fun. So, here you go!

I love these...Molly was having none of it and getting a group shot of five all looking and smiling is pretty much impossible at this age. We were so happy to have Claire and Luke with us! We sure love those cuties!
