This Kid Is Crazy!

Molly has been especially wound up the last few days. When she is outside she is constantly chasing the cats or bothering Kelly or pointing and shouting at the cows or horses or picking flowers or throwing rocks...well, I think you get the point. When she's inside, well, it's just as eventful!


Here are some especially silly pictures from the last couple weeks:

Standing in the tub and wearing Mom's sunglasses--doesn't get much cooler than that.

This is what happens when I put her hair in a ponytail and she pulls it out. She's not one for having "fixed" hair.

Welcome to my world! Nothing is ever boring with Molly around!

Did I Mention...

We sold the heck out of sweet corn a few weeks ago! There were 4 families (including us) that went in together and planted about 2 acres of sweet corn this spring. It was ready to be picked the day we got back from our trip to MT, so no rest for us--it was back to work! When you sell sweet corn you have to pick it the same day that you sell it. When it's over 100 degrees every day, this means getting up and starting to pick as soon as the sun comes up. We would pick about 3 pickup loads every morning and then spread out through several of the local towns around here to sell. By my calculations, we sold somewhere between 500-600 dozen ears of corn! That's a lot of corn and we sold it all in 1 week.

It was quite the busy week--and a TON of work, but it was a great little money-maker project and our freezer is stocked with corn for the winter.

Photo of the Day

I haven't done a "photo of the day" for a long time...so here it is:


I think she' s wondering "wait, where is everyone going?" or maybe she is just deep in thought. Anyways, I love this photo of our little Molly!

More From Montana-New Buddies

Molly had a great time when we were in Montana and really enjoyed playing with Tucker. They were buddies from the start and before we knew it, she was trying to kiss him! Tucker would have liked to grab her by the neck a couple times...but he would just grit his teeth and resist the urge and smile instead. She's not quite up for the rowdiness of Tucker, but they played very well. He even decided he would take her with him "to work" one day (they didn't actually drive anywhere, don't worry!):


Molly wasn't all too innocent either--I caught her trying to steal Audrey's binky several times:


Molly chillin' with her buds in Billings:

I didn't get any pictures of Molly & Colter. I guess she didn't harass him for his binky like she did Audrey. Colter is such a cutie though & I bet by the next time they're together they will be playing like crazy!

4 Year & Counting

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband of 4 years!! Every year brings us new adventures that we take on together and it just gets better & better! Love you!

Our lives have changed so much in 4 years! It's amazing to look back and see how far we've come!

Matt & Emily are married! Their wedding was so pretty and so much fun. Here's some pictures that sum up the day:

They had a photo booth at the reception--which was a really fun idea--and you can see all the pictures online from that by clicking here.

Missin' The Girls

There is nothing better than a good visit with your best friends! We had such a great weekend in Montana visiting my good friends from college Mariah, Mandy & Lynmarie. Although we are all so spread out across the country, we have remained best friends! With the addition of two new little ones this summer, it was essential that we planned a trip back to Montana to catch up. Mariah had a baby boy named Colter & Mandy had a baby girl named Audrey. They are both such sweet little babies!!

The new mommies & their precious babes!

Lynmarie also had something to celebrate...she's engaged!! We had lots of fun looking through bridal magazines and talking about wedding planning. The worst part is, the more time I spend with the girls, the more I miss them when we leave! Maybe someday we will all live in the same state again!!

I've got more pictures to come, but I hear Molly finally waking up (it's 9AM) so I better go!
