One of Our Stations



Remember the baby stations; swing, bouncy, car seat, top of the dryer, bed, then you start all over again. Well, this toy. . . I don't know what it's called, it the best!! Very entertaining! All my kids have loved it. They sit under it for . . . minutes, sometimes many minutes. I just thought this was cute as it is hitting two birds with one stone (or station).

BINKI


She started taking a binki FINALLY!!!! 9 weeks old, but she took it and took it and took it. I love her even more. YEA!! Never give up, never!

Up, Down, Up, Down



Given it is only 10:30am, but my morning (as are all mornings) was full of ups and downs.

UP: Molly slept from 10:30pm to 6:15am--7 hours and 45 minutes people!!!!

DOWN: Molly and Jack woke up at the same time, no time to fit a shower in.

UP: Molly decided to take a little snooze, shower time!

DOWN: Jack screamed the WHOLE time I was in the shower.

UP: I had clean underwear. I had to run down nude to the dryer to get it, but clean none-the-less.

DOWN: Jack was taking a bath in my tub. It wasn't very full, not enough to cover the jets. He figured out how to turn the jets on and water shot up in the air six feet high from all six jets. He soaked me, the floor and the vanity. Scared himself so bad he was screaming!! Once we got him calmed down and back in the tub, he pooped in the bathtub. Meanwhile, Molly screamed bloody murder while I took care of all of this.

UP: My neighbor dropped off an adorable dress for Molly and held her while I finished getting Jack dressed.

DOWN: Fishing the poop out of the tub, MY TUB, that is very difficult to lean into.

UP: I hid an "Amy Seymour" cream puff left over from our presidency meeting last night. I was saving it for a particularly difficult time today. I ate it by 9:30am. Not good!

DOWN: I made Jack cry because I wouldn't share the cream puff. You wouldn't either if you saw his snotty, green nose.

UP: Both babies went down for an early nap, because they are both exhausted from their colds and crying ALL morning.

DOWN: I have THE largest load of whites to fold. It is enormous!! I think my family intentionally wears all the white clothing they own, because they know how much I hate the white load.

UP: I know from personal experience that this won't last forever, just a few years. Buck up lil' camper!!

Jeff Gets His Bear


We are the proud parents of a Bear Cub Scout. He worked really hard the last few weeks to finish his requirements up. A big thank you to Grandpa and Grandma Wolfe, Sister Sommers, his great leaders, Sandy and Tia,Grandma Joyce,Dad and Mom (of course). Jeff made this great bird house with his Dad. He also did a research project on eagles with his Grandma and Grandpa Wolfe (very cool). He learned the words to "Choose the Right", did a FHE on agency and then his piano teacher played "Choose the Right" as a Sacrament Meeting song for Jeff to sing the song he had learned. He made an amazing island out of salt dough with Grandma Joyce (the patience she demonstrated . . .) It was a lot of fun to work on the Bear, but as a mom, I'M SO GLAD ITS DONE!!

Thank You!



Isn't she adorable!! I'm a bit behind, way behind on my thank you cards. I'm slowly getting them all done. I want to thank all of you who have given Molly MANY adorable outfits and accessories. She has quite the wardrobe to become the diva her sister hopes her to be. Hannah loves dressing her baby doll.

Today was an adorable brown and cream polka-dot outfit given by the best office manager in the world, Jenni Brickey. To complete the look, a precious headband made with love by her Aunt Jessy and a bit of sparkle, a braclet from her favorite aunt of the day, Aunt Jess. Thank you!! I'll try to give credit to the future outfit of the day, but we appreciate everyone who loves our baby girl!

Baby Molly's Blessing Day



Today Ben blessed the baby in Sacrament meeting. He did a wonderful job and gave her a beautiful blessing. She was awake in the blessing, but didn't cry. I guess her little foot was kickin' the whole time. We want to thank all the great family and friends who helped in the prayer circle today. You are all great guys who are a great example to my kids. For those who weren't there today; Delbert Wolfe, Andy Wolfe, Dan Jordan, Josh Merritt, JP Boinay, Darryl Baker, Lee Morgan and Chy Miller stood in the circle.

My mom made Molly's beautiful dress. She did such a wonderful job and it was exactly what I wanted. I received many, many compliments on it. Molly was absolutely adorable in it. It was a bit cool today, so she wore an adorable sweater that my friend, Amy Seymour gave her. I just wanted to share. It was a great day.
