Oh where Oh where......

.....has my waist gone?

6 weeks along...........

little bit further along........30 weeks!

It's hard to believe I am already at 30 weeks. This pregnancy has gone by pretty fast. I feel really good these days and am a little nervous that 10 weeks is going to come sooner than later. We'd love any and all advice/tips about having two kids.

These photos are for all of you who keep asking if I'm pregnant?.......No hiding it now! The panel pants and shirts a-flarin' are out and in full force.

Belleview Park

We had a fund day at Belleview Park yesterday with Pete, Cassidy and Hudson. We had a picnic, played in the water, rode the train and played with the animals at the petting zoo.

Here's Molly milking the fake cow.


Molly loved the animals.
The tried to kiss the pigs, mingle with the sheep and hug the goats.
(We're not sure what she's doing to the brown goat).


Molly and Hudson looking at the Ducks.

Cassidy and Elisha wishing they weren't being photographed.

Despite the concerned look on her face, she really did like the train.

Red Rock Lake

Last Saturday, we decided to explore Colorado a little. We wanted to do a 2 mile hike to Lake Isabelle, however, when we got to the park entrance, the park ranger said there were 6-8 foot snow drifts on the trail and about 20 feet of snow in the camp ground. We didn't come prepared with our snow shoes that are still at the store, so we turned around and did some shorter hikes at lower elevation. There was still snow on the trail in spots, but nothing like what we would've encountered. It was just fun being outside exploring. We found several lakes, swamps, somebody's tarp - lean-to house, and an old chimney from what looked like someone's living quarters long time ago. It was a lot of fun. Molly had a great time and didn't mind being in the back-pack at all. She even fell asleep right at the end..........something she NEVER does.

First stop was Boulder Falls. Really pretty, but very small and a very easy hike. In fact, we could see the falls from the road. We went by ourselves, so we had to get individual shots with Molly and the water behind.
Here is a part of our snow-packed trail.
This is what they call Red Rock Lake. Not sure why. We didn't see too many red rocks. But, nonetheless, it was still pretty. Molly is showing off her baby pine cone.

Molly's favorite thing to do around water is throw rocks into it. She and Scott spent quite a while finding more rocks......BIG ones and little ones. Then it was mom's turn to find things to throw in.

Family photo. We found a nice rock for our tripod.

Father's Day is Sweet

Little delayed on posting Father's Day, but better late than never. This is the gift Molly got Scott. Can you believe it? She earned her own $$ for it and everything. Anyway, it's a Jig Saw so he can make her a bed before her little brother comes and steals her crib.

More of Hudson's Birthday

The other day when I was posting this, I wanted to post a few more photos, but for some reason it was all jacked up. So, here are a few more.

Birthday boy with the chair we got him. Molly has a pink one that matches. We hope to go camping with them soon so they can use their chairs.

Little bubble fun. The kids, of course loved the bubbles and it was nice to not be in our own home for the soap on the carpet purpose.

Scott was having fun trying to catch pictures of the bubbles I was blowing. We couldn't get any to have both of us in focus.

Hudson's 2nd Birthday

Molly's good little buddy, Hudson, had his 2nd Birthday party on Saturday. It was a safari theme. We had a lot of fun. Good food, great cake, and a really fun game of finding different safari animals.

Molly helped find the lion and obviously didn't want to let go.

Molly and Evy helped Hudson open every present. Good thing he didn't mind too much. Notice Molly's digging for something?

Just another hat day

Molly still loves putting things on her head. She was being so silly with this bucket. She has pretty much packed it around all day, wearing it on her head, putting grapes or fruit snacks in it, or just packing toys in it.

Practice

Today we got to babysit friend, Courtney Moses' little 10wk old baby. It was so much fun. Molly loved every minute of it and was right there by my side to help. While I was feeding Lindsay, Molly sat right beside me drinking her own cup. Then when it was time to change her diaper, Molly was right there letting me know where he nose was and her eyes. She would just sit and pretend she was telling her something.......or maybe she was telling her something and only the two of them could understand. She was thrilled to get to hold Lindsay and the second I picked her up, Molly threw herself on the couch and started crying saying she wanted to hold her. It was pretty cute. Lets just hope she is this loving and kind when her little brother comes along.

Loves giving kisses and hugs!!

Molly's Faces

This isn't the best example of her faces, but it was all she would give us the other night.

Devils Head Camping Trip

We went camping this weekend. We were surprised to realize that this was Molly's first camping trip. We went with some friends from our ward who knew of a great spot not far from home. We set up camp around 3:00 pm then went on a hike. Molly finally likes (tolerates) her back pack.

Here we are resting before we hit the stairs!

143 Steps to the top.

This tower is still in use as a fire lookout. The gentleman working that day was almost as old as the building itself, and was on his 24th summer of manning the post. He was a typical "Forest Service" guy who looked like he could play Santa in his off season.

Molly didn't like the wind too much.

Molly did really well. Here she is exploring our camp site. She loved climbing on the "huge" rocks, and jumping (stepping) off. She also loved her Molly-sized mummy bag and slept well despite the cold. She did end up in our sleeping bag 1/2 way through the night.

My girls!

Molly also loved throwing rocks in the little stream by our camp site.

Guess it's the Indian Blood in Me!

Cute pics

These pictures were taken at the birthday party as well. My darling little family!
Furture Hockey Player! Scott was brain-washing her the other day when they were watching Hockey together. He was teaching her that her favorite sport was , "Hockey"! Pretty cute!Molly likes to sit right in the middle of these things and not allow anyone else to enjoy the toy. She's in for a real treat with #2 coming..............we hope sharing is not a problem.
