Summer Trips!

My family took a weekend trip to My Aunt & Uncle's beautiful Lake house near Mt. Gilead, Oh.  We swam in the lake, ate good food, canoed, played with water guns, and more.  We had such a great time!  Molly absolutely loves the water and even had her first taste of sand :0)

Love this picture of me, Brian and Molly
 We had so much fun shooting each other with water guns!


 I canoed for the first time - it's harder than I thought!
 My Brother got some sweet shots of Molly!


 First time on a swing, too!



Molly and I were able to take a couple day trip down to Parkersburg to visit some family.  I was so glad Molly finally got to meet my grandparents and get to know her cousins a little better. Nanny and Papaw got her a special cookie cake for her birthday and we even got to visit cousin Seth at work.  We had a great time.

 Molly thought her cousin Hannah was so beautiful and very cool!
 First time on her great Papaw's lap

 Aunt Theresa's necklace was a tangled mess, but Molly had so much fun with it!
 Cousin Seth chased Molly around everywhere, they had a blast
 I loved bringing Molly to my grandparent's home, where I have so many great memories growing up.  I can't wait to take her back again!

Molly's First Birthday!

We can't believe it's been a whole year since Molly came into our lives!  She is such a blessing, and she gets more fun every day.  It's so neat to watch her learn and grow, and see her own personality start to form.  She's now walking everywhere on her own, says "uh, oh", "hi", "dada", and "mama".  She can also do sign language for "more" and "eat", and loves to wave "bye-bye".  Here's some pictures from her first Birthday party! 

We did an owl theme, and I made these cupcakes, turned out really cute I think!

Molly enjoying her cupcake!

 She went right into the bathtub after this :0)
(and right down for a nap after her bath!)
 Checking out her new ride from Nana
 Gramie made her a special Sesame Street/Muppets quilt!
 So many adorable new clothes, including another special collection 
from Aunt Julie and Uncle Tom


 Yummy Food
 Special thanks to everyone to came to her party or sent gifts and cards!  She is a very blessed little girl.  We're looking forward to what this next year has in store for us!


On the 4th of July, we took Molly to see her first fireworks.  She loved them!
