Sean's First Birthday

 Sean got to celebrate his birthday two different days. On his birthday I made a cake and we took the whole family to Pizza Ranch (girls pick of course) and then had the cake for dessert at our house. That weekend we had the Miller family over and had another small party and grandma Miller brought him a cake. He enjoyed the cake but didn't make as much of a mess as anticipated!

How much they change

Looking back it is AMAZING how much Sean has changed over the past year. We are so excited to celebrate his first birthday today. Happy Birthday Sean!

First Haircut

Sean got his first haircut on Tuesday (he is two weeks from turning one) and did such a great job. He looks so handsome with his new haircut! I was shocked at how much hair she actually took off-I guess it was in his eyes. The whole boy haircut is new for me, but much easier than the girls. I am loving his new look!

Molly's Birthday (part two)

Molly had her birthday party at Nolte Dance Academy on Sunday. The girls at the party included; Ella and Sophia, Hadley and Rebecca, Riley and Addyson, Laela, Charlotte, and Nora and Molly. Leslie did the party and it was so much fun. Molly had  a huge smile the entire time and was said that she really liked her dancing party. The dance studio did everything and we just had cake and juice boxes. It really was a fun afternoon.

Molly's Birthday (part one)

Molly turned four on Friday and we had a great day! She had chocolate doughnuts with sprinkles for breakfast (her favorite). She opened her gifts from us, a DSI game, some tinkerbell stuff, and a new pink case for the DSI. Then Molly and I, Nora did not want to go, went and saw the movie Brave at the theater. She got popcorn and sprite (another favorite), and really enjoyed the movie. We then went home for a short rest before heading out to dinner at Carlos O'Kelly's with Jim and Deb. She got to have her queso dip (she loves dippy!) and chips. Then we went back to grandma and grandpa's for cake and presents.

Jim and Deb got her a Our Generation Doll named Jessica Ann. She was SO excited to get an American Girl doll like her sister. It was really cute how happy she was to have her doll. Molly's birthday party is on Sunday with her friends, but when she went to bed she said she had the "best birthday". That is my goal!

Fourth of July

The 4th of July fell on a Wednesday this year so it was a little harder to make a trip anywhere, but we had a great time just at home. The temperatures have been over 100 for the past week making any plans outdoors miserable! On Tuesday, the 3rd, we went to Shilo to see the fireworks. We met up with Josh and Sarah Shank and their family as well as the Deah and her family. They had great fireworks but it was REALLY hot. By the time we got home it was 11:30 so we had some tired kids the next day.
On the 4th we went to the Coralville parade and sat at Jessica and Tom Dunn's house. They had a tent and a slip and slide for the girls. We were glad for both! Then in the evening we had a bunch of friends over to celebrate my birthday and watch the fireworks from our house. We had pizza and dairy queen cake! Again it was a late night but we had a lot of fun.

Molly turns 4

Happy Birthday Molly!!
