Springtime Fun

So the weather has been getting warmer which means more fun outside. Brynn recently got her tubes in and it seems like she's been more clumsy ever since. She just face planted off the step outside and is pretty scraped up. She's been sleeping better but still tends to want to wake up every night. School's almost out so Molli will be getting in to swimming lessons and gymnastics and hiking and lots of other things. We're still sometimes wondering when the terrible twos will be done! Here are some recent pics:

Molli and her birdhouse...she painted it and we assembled it together



Molli loves worms...and bugs...and ants...and pretty much anything she can dig up.

Family Photos

Not sure how much longer we'll have access to this but here is a link to our family pictures that Kaycee took of us while we were visiting Washington last month:

It's Been a While!

It really has been so long since we update the blog that I don't know where to begin.
Molli turned 4 in January and is loving being a wise big sister to Brynn. She is as busy and inquisitive as ever!
Brynn just turned 1 in April and is learning to talk and walk.
Tony recently got to quit working for the newspaper and is loving sleeping through the night (when Brynn and Molli allow such a magical event!).
I am heading full speed toward the end of the teaching year. I believe there is 25 days or so left in our year! I am ready for summer and a little more time with the family.
We recently took a little vacation to Washington. Our schedule was bursting at the seams with birthday parties, baby showers, Easter, and spending time with family and friends. We had an amazing time while visiting and have all of our family and friends to thank for it! Hope to see you all soon.

A visit to Uncle Shae's.

Molli giving Uncle Shae a hug goodbye.

Deep in conversation...

Nothing like taking a little stroll with Grandpa.

I really do try to take decent photos of Molli, but she moves too fast!

Getting ready for the plane trip back to Utah.

The birthday girls: Eilis is now 2 and Brynn is now 1!

Eilis patiently waiting to eat her cupcake.

Eilis holds a birthday present...can't you just feel the joy emanating from her!!

Brynn and I open the blanket that Nana Jackie made...it is gorgeous...disregard my facial expression!

Hmm...

A visit to Fox Island.

Enjoying the afternoon sun!

If you look closely you can see a little crab hanging on Matt's sweatshirt.

Molli holding some shells...she wouldn't hold the crabs after one clamped onto Krystal!

The birthday girl, April 8th. Turning one and learning to walk!!

What is this birthday cake stuff all about?

The Zoo & a New BBQ!

Hey again everyone. We actually did something last weekend so we thought we'd post some pictures. We took the girls & cousins Samantha and Sofia to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. It was very fun but tiring! We love having Molli hang out with Samantha and Sofia because they actually listen to instructions so Molli pretty much has to follow suit.

Also, there's a new organic market in town and we've been anxiously awaiting it's opening since we first saw the sign. During the first week of its opening they had a bunch of promotion type activities and one of them was a drawing to win various items. One of them happened to be a new Weber BBQ which, of course we won! It's very nice and big and pretty.

Talk to ya'll soon!

A shiny new grill (we don't really have Molli walk around with a helmet on, although sometimes I think we should!)

She's looks very thoughtful, eh?

Checkin out the black bears

Gotta start her early!!!

We haven't been able to find our "good" camera since we've been back from Washington but we've taken a few pictures in the past month that we needed to get up. Molli has started soccer with Provo Parks and Rec (can you believe they're starting them at 3 now?). Tony loves it most but Molli loves it too. We may have gone a little overboard getting her outfitted for the season. Her two friends Rylee and Wyatt are also there so that helps, although I think Molli and Rylee would rather hang out than listen to any of the coaches. She's done well at times though when she focuses on playing the game.

We've been on a few hikes but it's generally too hot to do anything outdoors for an extended amount of time. It's definitely been cooling down though so we'll start getting out there again. Brynn is still loving to eat and is very happy. She's getting close to sitting up and has accidentally rolled over a few times now. She's so cute...we'll get some more pictures soon. These seem to be mostly Molli.

A few soccer pictures:




























Can you tell who's in charge here? This is actually during one of their "games". They also pretended to be kitties during another game. They're the only two girls on the team.














Wyatt, Molli & Rylee.














Now that's good form...I don't know if she can see though














Team photo...Molli was pumped to hold the ball, even though you can't tell by looking at her!














Taking a break..."soccer makes me so tired, daddy!"














A couple other pictures:














Molli loves her little "sisto" so much!

On a hike near Vivian Park up the Provo Canyon

Brynn Violet at 5 months. We are still unsure of her hair coloring. I think we are leaning towards blonde at the moment...it is all a waiting game.

Hope you are all doing well. We miss you and hope to see you all soon!
