Molly's Birthday Party

We had Molly's birthday party at Gunnar's building in a party suite during a New Mexico Mustangs game (hockey).  We had so much fun!  All of Molly's friends came for the fun, and she really had a great time!  It was also nice because it worked out that my parents could be there for the party, which was soo nice!  My grandparents were in town from Tennessee as well for Balloon Fiesta, so they were able to come as well!  Everyone had a great time!

I am really into card making and things like that, so for this party I decided to make her invitations, as well as some other decorations.  It was really fun to do, and I was thrilled with how everything turned out!

The Minnie centerpiece I also made.  I saw someone selling one like it online, and I thought I could totally make it, and it was so easy to do!

The birthday banner was also homemade!  My friend Nikki helped me out with this one!  I LOVED how it turned out!

Molly's 2nd Birthday

We can't believe Molly is already 2 years old!  These past two years really have flown by!  On her actual birthday we celebrated by starting our day at Starbucks to get a birthday cake pop (Molly's favorite treat!) We also went to Party City to pick out a balloon, had a special lunch, park day w/ friends etc.  We had her birthday party this past weekend, pictures from the party will be posted seperately.

In the car, after her cake pop and picking out her Minnie balloon!

Her special birthday lunch - We went to Dions (It's a pizza place, and pizza is her favorite!)

Nana, Pop and Uncle Wyatt's visit

I haven't blogged in about 2 months, so I have some back tracking to do!  Back in August, Nana, Pop and Uncle Wyatt came for a visit.  While they were here we went up to Angel Fire, NM which is in the northern part of the state for a few days to enjoy their timeshare.  We stayed in a nice cabin on a golf course, got to check out a lot of nature, and even saw some elk!  (Yes, elk can be found in New Mexico!) We had lots of fun! Here are some pictures from their stay.

Quick Random Post

Here's a quick post for you all - I know I have really been slacking on keeping up with my blog. 
Let me preface this entry with this.  Molly is obsessed with taking a bath....or, "tubby" as she calls it.  When we tell her its time for a tubby she'll say "OH BOY!!!" And start bookin it upstairs.  She says hello to the tubby when she gets there, and bye bye to the tubby when its time to get out.  It's adorable!  Anyway - The other day, Gunnar and I were watching the show "House Hunters" on HGTV.  And this couple was touring through a house that they could potentially buy. When they got to the master bath, they showed beautiful double sinks, a HUGE walk in shower, and an even BIGGER, gorgeous whirlpool tub.  Well, Molly was paying attention to the show, and when she saw the tub, she pointed to the TV, and yelled "OH MAN....TUBBY!!!!!!!"  It was hysterical!  Gunnar and I were dying laughing!  I had to blog this b/c I never want to forget it!  Hope you got a good chuckle!

Fun times in NJ

Other than my sister's party and my friend's wedding, we had a VERY busy trip back east!  We were going non-stop the entire time!  Molly had playdates with friends, we went up to Lancaster to have lunch with my friend Becky, we took a trip to the boardwalk, & Gunnar's family had their annual pig roast.  It was a super fun trip! Below are the pics from our trip!  Enjoy!

Relaxing on Maddie's Mickey couch, check out the tornado that went thru that room, compliments of the two little devils!

Took a trip to the Ocean City boardwalk w/ Gunnar's parents!  We walked the boards, rode the rides, had dinner & ice cream...it was a fun night!

Checking out the beach & ocean w/ Nana - too bad the only time we got to the beach was at night!  There's always next time!

Molly wanted no part in sticking her feet in the water!

Merry go round ride...again!  She loved it!

Nana and Pop got molly a little pink purse with a dog inside, she rode with the purse on her arm the rest of the night!

We took a ride up to the Radnor area to do some shopping (me, Molly, Meghan & my Mom) and while we were there, we decided to stop at Cabrini, where I went to school (Meghan went there too) to get some pics and stop at the bookstore for some shirts.  So this is Molls on the Cabrini sign, right when you turn onto campus....our future Cabrini student!

This was my freshman dorm (Meghan's too)

Practicing her walk to class!

This was THEE place to order good greasy cheesesteaks/pizza etc.  (Especially at 3am when you stumble back into your dorm!)  Sorry mom & dad!

Uncle Wyatt got a jump jump for the pig roast, so Molly and Maddie decided to test it out early!
